"Avenge, 0 Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose bow,'

The lecture of Dr. Gilly, noticed in another column,
deserves much more than an average amount of attention.
Four times, within the last thirty years, has he visited that
interesting people ; and he has pleaded their cause with
an energy that he would not have employed for himself,
and a success which few would have secured. In these
days of controversy, it is interesting to know that a section
of the ancient Apostolic Church still survives, which never
gave in its allegiance to the Bishop of Rome. It remains
in the nineteenth century what the ancient British Church
was when Augustine came ; what the Culdees in Scotland
were before the time of Hildebrand ; what the Irish were
under St. Patrick, before either Nicholas Breaks ears
(Adrian IV.) or Henry Plantagenet had bowed their
necks
to the yoke. The blood which has flowed on their hill
sides, which attested their own sincerity and inspired the
muse of Milton, endears them to us ; and not less should
their ecclesiastical pedigree of eighteen hundred years,
without one blot on their scutcheon.

MR. HARTNUP AND THE LIVERPOOL
OBSERVATORY.
In the month of October, 1846, an important paper was
read in one of the societies of this town, showing first
what science has done for Liverpool, and second what
Liverpool has not done for science. The commonest
observer is aware that science has enlarged the boundaries
of geographical knowledge ; and has devised new and
more effectual modes of communication ; it has taught
man to control some dangers, and to avoid others; it has
almost annihilated distance; and in modes of communica-
tion has in like manner annihilated time. The frequency
and comparative security of communication has given
such an impulse to commercial relations, that the col-
lection of hovels, which is not mentioned in the Dooms-
day survey, is now the centre of half a million people.
This is one side of the account. On the other, we i
find the following statement in a pamphlet which was ,
issued just a year ago :—" We look in vain for any endow-
ment in support of literature and science ; not one
Professorship, Lectureship, or Master-hip has ever beets
established by our predecessors or ourselves." The
founding of the Liverpool Observatory is a step in the
right direction; but if the necessities of the port had not
demanded it, we would, in all probability, as soon have
seen a professorship of necromancy established.
When Mr. Hartnup was appointed here, his duties were
much lighter, yet he sacrificed, even then, a third of his
annual income. He has since neither taken pupils nor
engaged in the reduction of tables, for which he would be
privately remunerated. When in London, he acted as
Secretary to the Royal Astronomical Society, at a salary,
was an Assistant Astronomer in the Greenwich Observa-
tory ; and, inter alia, was handsomely remunerated for
his reduction of the tables of the stars, published by the
British Association. Yet in other respects he has not I
been idle, as, in spite of our humid climate and often hazy
