addres
see of the spoken much antis

was laid on the undeniable fact, that Liverpool had

been raised to its present height-of-commercial gran-
,deur chiefly through the" instrumentality or Sailors
and that, unleSs suitable', attention was given to• the
moral improvement of the, British Sailor; it was not to
be wondered at that vice was so prevalent in their
midst ; and that thousands of our best Seamen .had
expatriated themselves, and become attached .subjects
of a country rival to Britain'in commercial greatness,
and where they found • that encouragement and bene-
volent consideration denied •to them in their native
land. Strong appeals were presented .to the 'notice of
the meeting, and ably enforced, for the more enlarged
support of the Merchants of Liverpool to this interest-
ing Institution; and, based as these appeals were npon
facts involving serious responsibility upon. the mercan-
tile employers of Seamen connected with this port, we
rust they may not have been made in vain.
One fact derived from' the_ ,Report of this AuXiliarY
needs no argument -to enforce the :claims of this SO-'
ciety :. it appeals at once to the justice of every inha-
bitant of Liverpool, and will, we'hope, experience its
due conscientious consideration. Since the formation
of. the Liverpool Auxiliary in 1829, the Parent Society
has supplied to this port 5,222 Bibles and 3,599 Tes-
taments, making a total of 8,821 copies of the lloly
Seriptures, at a . cost of 41,486 185."54. The entire
sums remitted by. this' Auxiliary, during the -same
period, amount to £762 10s. Bd., leaving a deficit of
£724 7s. 9d. sustained by the Parent Society in con-
nexion with this Auxiliary. Slimly- some more enlarged
effort is necessary •is such a• cause and it will never
be—nay, it must not be---permitted that the Agents of
this Society shall have to say; in inland towns, " We
notinly want . yoUr aid for the general operations of
the Society, but also to supply the lack of benevolence
in Liverpool for the moral improVement of the• Seamen
connected with that port."

Another fact illustrative of the readiness that the
Agent of this Society has met with to receive the
Scriptures on Ship-board, occurred lately in one of our•
docks. The Captain came on. board and found the
Agent making the deposit with .the Mate, and on
noticing the Bibles, asked, " What was the charge ?"
when he Was informed that they were the gift of the
Society for the use of the crew; his reply was, " That's'
noble," and at the instant placed half-a-soVereign in
the hands of the Agent, adding, " Will you accept
that for the Society?" expressing also his hope "'That
the Lord would bless and prosper its lahours .for the
good of the Seamen."
We have now. Only to add, that.the Rev. W. May 7
nard, Chaplain to the Mariners' Church, is the Secre-
tary, and Thomas Porter, Esq.; Mersey-street, is the
Treasurer, to the Liverpool Auxiliary Naval and Mili-
tary Bible Society; by whom contributions to the abov'e
object willbe thankfully received and acknowledged.

By the packet:-Ship Siddons, Captain Palmer, which
arrived here on Friday afternoon, we have received
New :York Papers to the 26th of August
and also a copy of the Montreal Gazette of the '2oth
ult., and a copy of .the Quebec. Gazette of the 19th ult.;
The New York papers are only two days later than
those brought by the-.4iterpopl, and contain very little
additional news. Mr. Clay .had taken his departUre
from New York, and proceeded through New jersey
to Philadelphia.
A few additiOnal particulars • are furnished in these
papers respecting the elate seizures of woollen goodS.
The first gi'eat seizure was rriacle.at gie:Store.of Davis;
Broadbent, and Co., in Front-street: the ne±t, of -40
packages, was made at the 'store of W. Blackburn ;
and a third large seizure was made .in. Market-street.;
all in Philadelphia.. It is'stated• that these. goods re
the Property' of Mr. Bottomley; a citizen of Great
Britain, by whom they were placed in the hands -of
American houses for sale. It is added that sTr{ Bot-
tomley took his departure from New York about the
same time as Mr. Swartwout.

.The yellow fever was on the increase at New Or-
leans, and also at Mobile. The deaths,from thiS cause
at Charleston athounted• to fourteen in one week. -A
Singular epidemic is alSo said to have broken out at
Springfield, Vermont. The town is desCribed as a
string of hospitals. 'The affeCtion resembled a virulent
dysentery, accompanied with symptoms of Asiatic
cholera. Hardly a family-escaped. The disease had
proved fatal in many instances.
The Sackett's Harbour Journal states that the county
gaol there had been, broken -open,and that the three
Canadian mail robbers confined- in it had escaped.
The outer door of the gabl, as well as the door of
their cell, were unlocked, • • .

It is said that the-total amount'of property'destroyed
at the great conflagration which-took place at St: John's,
New Brunswick, including buildings, rnercandisc,
and household effects ~cannot fall short of 1:200,000.

The .13angoi. Whig .of August 24th states: that, the

down rebels and sympathisers, will suffer themselves'
to be cheated out .of what they fought for; abandoning.

respectable portion of the Canadian press. •

in copying coins and medals by deposition, which are repro-:-

Constantinople:- The society L: thereftve,.paid great at-
tention to the subject of n-cl'ting, as ninon as possible, the
consequences usually visit:Ni on the heads of co-averted Jews.•
With this view temporary lams had been provided for
converts and inquirers. ln 0 asylums the Jews were
under the entire contrel'of the officers cf the societv. A.
separate fund had beeh'proPoSed to be set aside for the ex.-
press purpose of supporting- such, institutions. The report
then expressed' the regret o,f the committee for the lesS the
society lvtd sustained, by the- retrieval of the treasurer, Mr.
Elijah Harrison, to another part of the cauntry. The re-
ceipts and expcnditure of the auxiliary society, for the last
year, were then enumeraled.
The Rev. J. H. STMITART moved that the report be adopted
and the xespective'ofticers of the society be requested to con,:

Judah was at the preAcnt moment attracting 'universal
attention. There was scarcely a goVernment- in existence
Which was not looking with intense interest to the present
position of the Holy Land. IV:el-chants also, as. well as
politicians,' were contemi;lating the present aspect of af-
fairs in that country with great-curiosity. -The Holy-Land
was on the route by which the increased facilities for
communicating- with India were to be carried into effect.
The. British i,,,overnment had rece,..,tly appoitited.for. the first
tithd, a eonstil in the Holy Land, and a Christian Churchhad
also been t'eeently -established. at ,Terusalent7--the holy city.
On Mount Zion-the gospel was now preached by a mission-
ary sent froin Erigland.... The Church of Scotland had also
lately, sent a deputation to inquire into the state of Judea.
Great Britain seemed thus to be the selected instrument for
conveying to the people orludea the glorious tidings of the
gosket, and to bring the Joys into tie fold CI -fist. The
Society'thr Promoting Christianity' among the Jews had been
established for. 31 years. During the earlier part of its
Career it had encountered great :pposition from'-the Jews.

to the eAaialisitinentof the Christian church of Jerusalem.
Among otiter'teasons ter the-erection of thatehutch, he ad-
duredtheitteeeSsity:of shelving the real nature of christia
nity, and of the worship offeeed.hplite Cheistianst This was
the more riocessarY:as the Jews, in most countries, had no
opportunity of witnessing the manner in which Protestants
Served and worshipped God. , In Roman Catholic, Greek,
and Arnae,nian places of worship, they saw much that they
condemned as idolatrous; and as these places• of worship
were frequented bynominal Christians, theleWs confounded
christianity itself .with these idolatrous practices.' It was;
therefore, etpecially incumbentupon the Protestant Church
Of England to set up a visible testimony to the purity of
their worship; and this could not be better done then by the
establislitocot of a ChriStiall PreteStant congregation in
Jerusalem. - (Cheers.) then alluded to the circulation
of. the Word God among the Jews: _, A great desire now
prevailed amorig_the ancient people, of God to read and.pos-
Sess the Scriptures. At Tunis alone, in the course of one
year only, XlSOLad been paid lay Jews for copies of the Scrip-
tures. (Cheers.) Some of the purchasers walked ten miles
to obtain' theopy. of the Bible. (Cheers.) Again, on the.
shores of thelialtic 350 Bibles and 04 Testaments had been
disposed of in two mouths, and £44 ss. Od. had been received
in the same time forties purchase of these. (Cheers.) The
last impression of the Jewish Scriptures circulating among
the Jews at Tunis was out of print, and the,society lmped to
trig lycit •a impression in a short tithe. The Rey.
Gentleniati then alluded to the present general condition et:
the. Jews.. In.. England a ,theoiogical :institution had . been
established for the study of Hebrew literature. The great
basis,of this institution instated to-be the study of the law of
God—a study hitherto neglected in most Jewish schools.
(Cheers:) In the:Schools of the Jews the study of the proL.
pheeies was atWicting,eincreased attention. (Hear.) The
JewshwereennwiSeuing publiCations from-the press on the
subject of the restoration of their nation to the Holy Land.
The present inquiring state of the Jews was a source of great
to-ACC-nude-el:lents:Co missionary exertion on their behalf.
(Hear, hear.)
The resolution was carried unanimously: '
The Rev. H. S,:lJosePti moved the next resolution. As
Several eminent ministers were to speak on the present occa-
sion:he. Would net' "Ocieupy much of their time. Christians.
he remarked, wexe litale au-are of the ; state of religious belief
amprigthe Jews; or they would feel a far greater interest in
the cause of their conversion. He; stated that most of the su-
perstitious doctrines of the Roman Catholics were derived
from thecortuptedJewish Chorotii,iikle instanced the-prac-
tice of praying for the souls of-the departed, and the doctrine
bf purgatorial-fire.- He read several passages front a Jewish
Woide in support of this assertion. The Talmud was full or
statements in' simport of the doctrines to which he alluded.
Some of thescstatments were of the must ridiculous character.
Sikh, however, as they were, they formed the foundation
on which the Romish church ereetedher. Supei-s.fitiMis doc-
trines of intercession for the dead and purgatory. (Cheers.)
Such being the doctrines and belief:of the.Jefts#thow neces-
sary was it that they should dihseminate; among them the
knowledge of -the -Inith as it is in Christ-Jesus! (Hear.)
He-then alluded to the belief which ',vas prevalent among the
Jews, that' the devil did !pot understand the!Kahnudical He-
brew, on which account many of their services were in that
tongue. Though the Church of -Rome borrowed many of
its superstition:4 from the Jews, the hitter had. no 'enemies
more rancourous and implacable the.. Roman Catholics.
(Cheer§,h) :.1 heh'eV. gentleman this .;,.te tea to the institii-
tion whielehad been established in :rime: Of the num-
ber that had been in the institution during_ the past year six
bad been .haptized, and had afforded every evidence, of the
sincerity"'Of ' tlicir:i4eofeSeion. (Hear.) He 'concluded by
Observing, that-he wh's ,rejoiced to -beer the suggestion of
Mr. Stewart that "Wednesd6' neg.t should he devoted to
prayer and fasting on behalf-of fl:; House 01,ISVa0, and an-
nouncing that a meeting for- that purpose would be held at
the Music Hail on thatoiriorning. (Heat.)
The Rev. -Mr: ALEXA7NiDER rose to second the resolution.
lie bewailed the, ignoratee -which Prevailedainong Christians
with respect to the state of the Jews. (Hear.) -Maby were
apt to leroktiPonithe Jews aa" beneath their notice; 'rhos e,
however, who had bestowed nay attention upon the actual state
of the Jews; could-not help feeling a -deep interest in their
welfare. He Said that the feat of death said eternity was uni-
Yersal among the Jews:- How necessary, thereto: c, ions it that
they should he-made-acequainted with the hope of the gospel !
Their fear of death was owing to their ignorance of .Christ—
the `helieVer's stay in the shedow "of the ;valley of death.
The worship of the Jews was a mere dead form. They were
perishing- from lack of knowlcd-ge. it was, therefore, the
duty of Christiahs to make known. among the children of
Israel the way of salvation. It was their, duty, especially,
to furnish their Jewish brethren wittrthe New.Teetament,
, which coiltained the glad tidings of the gospel. The apostle
Phil', himself a converted Jew, very forcibly urged upon
Gentile ChriStians the deity of seeking the-conveTrsion of the
Jews. The rev. gentleman then alluded 'to the idolatrous
superstitions which were feeq.uently exhibited co the Conti-
nent before the Jews, and the wrong impressions wheli they
thus derived respectime' the true nature of Christianity. He
then proceeded to say. that the means employed by the so-
ciety were the bei4t calculated to feln()Ve those'- false 'impres.

_
signs, especially the diitribtitieif if. the holy :Seriptures..•
(Hear.) The Jews had now numerous opportunities of
knowing the will of God.-- These means had-been blessed in
numberless instances. •He therefore urged upon the meeting
the necessity of furnishing the society with the. means of
publishing an increased number of copies of the Scriptures.
(Hear) He said that the chosen time for favouring Zion
seemed to be at hand.. (Hear.) He might relate many in-
teresting facts in illustration of this sign of the times. It
should, therefore, be the object of every Christian church to
seek the salvation of the house of Israel.
The CHAIRMAN then announced that a collection would
be made •before the next gentleman rose to speak.
The collection amounted to £3O. • -
The Rev. R. P: Bonnicom rose to move the next resolu-
tion. He heartily concurred in the Sentiment - expressed in
• the •resolution, that the Jews had a claim on christian sym-
pathy, in 'respect of their temporal Wants. If christians had
reaped of their spiritual thingss should notthe Jews reap of
the"tarnal- things-of • Christians ? (Cheers.) He said • that
the Jews were too frequently treated with contempt by -,
Christians : Initeit-ChristiahS were placed in the same de-
grading situation as the Jews, they would, perhaps, feel dis-
posed to appreciate that sympathy which was now withheld 1
fsom their JeWish ' brethren. (Hear.) He alluded with
feeline-,s of great delight to the' circumstance that the Church
of England had obtained a footing in Jerusalem. He hoped

MEETING OF THE, PROPRIETORS OF THE BANE OF
Livhahooh.--:On frhlay, the 13th instant, the annual meet-
ing Of the proprietorS of' the Bank of Liverpool took place,
at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, T. Sands, Esq.
M the chair. The chairman stated, that he much regretted
,the cause of having to take.the chair on the present occasion;
be regretted it net Fo ranch on account of his inability to
discharge the duties (forthey were few) which devolved upon
him, but chiefly on account ,of the indisposition of the
chairman, Mr. Hodgson, who, he was sure, would. have had
great pleasure in meeting the proprietors, and of giving them
that information which his intimate connection with the
bank would well enable him to do ; Which, however, would
be supplied by Mr. Langton, the manager. Mr. Sands
would not allow- that opportunity to pass, without bearing
his testimony to the valuable services of the chairman to the
bank: No one; he stated, could fully appreciate these ser-
vices but those who have witnessed them : how far they had
been beneficial to the bank would best appear by the results,
which would' be seen in the report. Joseph Langton, Esq.
then read the report to the, meeting. It began by alluding
to the crintinued prosperity of the establishment at the close
of another year. No 'additional shares had been issued.
The paid-up capital of; the company, on the 30th of June,
amounted to X. 167,825, and the net profits of the year, after
payment of .current expenses, and provisions for 'bad and
doubtful debts, realized 4:53,609 8s 7d, from which the
proprietors have received two half-:yearly dividends of five

plus'of X 5,920. 18s 7d, to be carried to the reserved surplus
fund, which fund now amounted to £109,602 15s 7d; The
report then alluded to the.present monetary. pressure, which
the directors attributed partly to the adverse action of a
deficient harvest last'year oil the foreign' exchanges ; partly
to a withdrawal of a large amount of capital from its legiti-
mate channels of trade.to 'be invested in the favotirable under-

capital :"-thi. those causes, eembined, the directors were' in-
clined to attailnite the present existing monetary embarrass-

BLOWING UP OF A SUNKEN VESSEL IN THE
CHANNEL OF THE MERSEY.

It was announced, by placard, on Saturday last, that the
ship " Byron," which had been sunk in the Horse Channel,
by coming in contact with a steam vessel, some months ago,
would be, yesterday, blown up, by Mr. Abbinet--a gentle-
man who bas been peculiarly successful in raising or remov-
ing the hulls of vessels in entrances to harbours, and thereby
rendering an essential service to the maritime service of the
country.
In accordance with the advertisements, one of our best
river steam-boats,—the " Liverpool," of Seacombe, was
engaged for the occasion—the time of starting being stated
to be a quarter before eight o'clock. This was rather an
early hour for parties who were merely interested in the ex-
periment, and the morning being, moreover, gloomy, the
number on board, was fewer than was anticipated. There
were, however, between forty and fifty gentlemen on board,
including Mr. Greeson, surveyor for Lloyds, and several
other scientific gentleinen.
The vessel (and we must here do justice to our river
packets) went down the river in gallant style, a southerly
w ind, and a slight tide-way setting down, being in her favour.
he started from the south end of the Prince's pier, at about
nine o'clock, and in about an hour and a half reached the
point of action, north of Hoylake. The vessel upon which
the explosive experiment was to be made, was sunk on the
sand-bank, between " Spencer's Buoy" and the North-East
Buoy.
Between the two buoys named, another small buoy, painted
red, was fixed immediately over the hull of the sunken ves-
sel. This boy floated nearly perpendicularly, and attached to
it, also vertical, was the metal pipe conducting the fuse to
the combustible material deposited for the explosion of the
sunken vessel. Before entering into further explanation of
the mode of the explosion, we must here narrate the effect
of the explosion, as witnessed by ourselves and others,
before seeing the previous preparations.
Close to Spencer's buoy lay at anchor a fine cutter belong-
ing to Mr. Abbinet, and between that buoy and the N.H.
buoy was placed a small red buoy, to which the fuse was
attached. The steamboat had scarcely arrived when, it being
about low-water, Mr. Abbinet, the " master of the ceremo-
nies," left the cutter in a boat, and ignited the fuse, a per-
pendicular match attached to the buoy. This combustible
tube smoked out for a minute or two, the upper part being
what is called a " port match," which burned sufficiently
slowly to permit the boat in which were the igniting parties
to attain a " respectable distance" before the explosion took
place.

The match was seen to burn and smoke for a short time,
and the anxiety on board the steamer, which was not so close
to the spot as the cutter; became intense.
The explosion at length took place with beautiful, and, we
may add, tremendous effect. To appreciate the effect pro-
duced, it is only necessary to state that the vessel blown up
was 24 feet under the water, and that when sunk she was
loaded by the heaviest cargo that can be named—viz., 150
tons of iron.

The firsteffect-of the explosion was a bubbling, or ebulli-
tion, on the water, over the spot where the explosion took
place. This was instantly succeeded by a throwing-up of
the water to a height of from eight to ten feet, within a cir-
cle of probably sixty feet diameter. When this island of
water had attained its height, a loud explosive concussion
was heard; the, top of the elevated water was dashed into
foam ; and, before it subsided, fragments of the abrupted
vessel were forced to the surface, and, in a short time,
strewed the waves over a space of probably a quarter of an
acre. No smoke seemed to ascend from this submarine
combustion, the whole being condensed by the water.
The effect, though momentary, was altogether sublime,
and, on the subsiding of the aqueous mountain, fragmetts of
the wreck were seen floating in every direction, the tide being
at that time on the turn. The boats belonging to the cutter
and steamer picked up heavy loads of the timber, consisting
of planks, knees, beams, &c., of large dimensions, most of
which were broken across, in pieces, though sound timber,
like carrots, or split into match-wood. The fragments of
knees and timbers showed the excessive power of the explo-
sion—the iron bolts through them being wrenched out and
bent in a manner showing an extraordinary explosive power.
There were several boats, fishing-smacks, and shrimping
vessels, near the buoys, and these picked up the floating
pieces of timber not otherwise appropriated. A large quan-
tity of wood was thus picked up ; and it is remarkable, that
although the vessel has been sunk only a few months, the
whole of the timber is thickly coated with barnacles.
The vessel which was exploded was about 200 tons burden,
and it is said that she had on board about 150 tons of iron, a
cargo of which of all others is the most against the raising of
a vessel containing it.
Mr. Abbinet, who has so successfully exploded the By-
ron, has been previously employed in tho blowing up or
raising of government and other vessels, and, amongst others,
the Boyne.
Amongst the interesting circumstances of the explosion,
was the capture of an immense conger Eell, weighing about
45 lbs.

The depth in which the vessel lay was about 24 feet. The
manner in which theignition was communicated was through
a lead-pipe, lowered from the mast-head of the cutter in at-
tendance, the powder, in a cask covered with pitch, being at
the same time sent under water. The person who goes down
is clad in an Indian rubber dress, and provided with a shield
or helmet of copper, into which the air is pumped, by an
air-pump„ while he is under water.
After the blowing up of the vessel, one of Abbinet's men
men went under water to examine the remains of the hulk
that had been blown up. He remained under water for
nearly a quarter of an hour, and when he came up, his hair
was perfectly dry.
Three hearty cheers were given on the blowing up of the
vessel, and on the arrival of the steamer at Liverpool, the
parties on board had appropriated portions of the wreck as
walking sticks. Mr. Egerton, agent for Lloyds, was on
board and contributed his valuable aid in the management of
the operation.
On arriving at Liverpool, the passengers, most of whom
had possessed ,themselves of portions of the wreck, gave
three cheers for the success of the experiment, which were
heartily responded to from the shore.
Mr. Parry was on board, and his politeness and attention
to the passengers was a theme of general admiration.

COLLISION OF THE ROYAL ADELAIDE AND

THE GIL BLAS.

TO 'THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sin,—An erroneous paragraph ropecting the supposed
running down 'of the schooner Gil Bias, by the Royal Ade-
laide steamer, continuing to be circulated through the public
journals, may I request your permission to state the following
facts ?

About Bh. 30m. p.m. of the night of the 31st of August
last, the Royal Adelaide being abreast of Dover, on her pas-
sage from London to Dublin, the weather being very bois-
terous and the night excessively dark and stormy, a sail on
the larboard bow was reported by the seaman on the look
out. The second mate was on the poop at the time, and im-
mediately went forward on to the bridge between tke paddle-
boxes to ascertain the position of the vessel seen and the
course she was steering, and, observing her coming right
down before the wind, straight for the Adelaide, he also
cried out to port the helm and stop the engines, both of
which orders were instantly obeyed. In five minutes after
the Gil Blas was first seen she came right across the bows of
the steamer, and in such a position that the bowsprit of the
latter passed between the schooner's foremast and mainmast,
and carried the latter away, losing her own bowsprit at the
same time. _ _ .

'Previous to the collision, the commander of the Royal
Adelaide, who was on deck some time prior, did all he could
to prevent it, by porting his helm and stopping his engines,
but all was of no avail, as the captain of the Gil Blas mistook
the masthead-light of the steamer for the South Sand head-
light, moored off the South South Foreland, which was ad-
mitted by him and his crew after they were on board the
Adelaide, and the mistake caused the collision.
The instant the vessels same in contact, the crew of the
Gil Blas including the commander, got on board the steamer,
without any examination of the state of their vessel ; thus
deserting her when they should have been engaged in separat-
ing the two.
The commander of the steamer, by reversing his engines
during the contact, drew her clear of the schooner, which
vessel went off before the wind under her headsails ; and, as
the night was unusually dark, with heavy showers of rain,
the search made for her, after the separation, was ineffectual.
As a proof, that proper precautions had not been taken by
the crew of the Gil Blas to ascertain her condition, previous
to desertion, she was boarded, on the following morning, by
some French pilots, and carried into Ostend, with little da-
mage to the bull, and her cargo of palm oil, &c. has been
landed there in safety, a clear proof how little justified the
captain of the Gil 'Bias was in abandoning her.
The injury to the Royal Adelaide was solely confined to
the loss of her bowsprit, stud the false stem slued round by
the canting of the schooner previous to the separation. In-
deed, so trivial was the injury that it has not been necessary
to delay her in port beyond the time required to discharge
and take in another cargo, the damage having been efficiently
remedied during that period.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.
