Paritua,r—A. very useful article wider this title has just
been introduced into this country. It is used for making
soups, jellies, blancmange, &e„ and is a sort of isinglass.
We have tried it and found that it answers the purpose ex-
tremely well. A quart of excellent jelly can be made for a
shilling, and a bowl of very fine soup for a mere trifle. To
families and persons going abroad we particularly recommend
it, as being invaluable.
LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF A NEW CHURCH.
—On Friday the Committee of the Ten Churches Association
commenced, on Pin Mill Brow, the erection of another new
church, to be called the Church of St. Silas. It is to bebuilt

in the Norman style of architecture, with square towers, sur-
mounted by octagonal spires, circular windows, and clustered
columns. The dimensions f the church are 56 feet by 90,

and it is calculated to accommodate about 1100 persons. One-
half of the sittings are to be free.—Manchester Guardian.
ArrEmPTED ROBBERY.—A boy of bad character, named
Charles Dogherty, was, yesterday, examined before Mr.
Rushton at the police-court, and committed to hard labour

for three months, for having attempted to commit a robbery

in the house of Mr. John Rigby, Sandon-terrace, on Satur-
day last.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.--IliS Excellency Sir Charles
Bagot, it is understood,:awaits the arrival of the Caledonia,
with news of the result of. Mr. M•Leod's trial, and of the
real facts of the :alleged seizure of Grogan, before embarking
for Canada, in order that he may carry out with him the de-

termination and final instruction of the Home Government

AMPHITHEATRE.—A new and very splendidly got up
spectacle was produced at this theatre last night. It is en-
titled " Sir Huon of Guyenne." The story is taken from
the nursery ballad of " Oberon, King of the Fairies." The
whole of the scenery is new and very beautiful, painted by
Mr. Beverley. The dresses, decorations, and properties, are

also new. We may safely say that such a gorgeous melo
drama has not been seen in Liverpool for years. In our
next we shall notice it at length.
MISSION PRIZE ESSAYS.—We are happy to learn that
the long expected decision regarding the above has just taken
place, and that the public are likely to have three essays, of
great merit, on the subject of missions. It was originally

intended that there should be only two; but the unanimity-
of the adjudication in favour of these three, and their singu-

lar, though various, excellence, has led to the proposal of
adding an extra prize, that none of them may be lost to the

Christian cause

TESTIMONIAL TO THE REV. ALEXANDER ORME, LATE
CURATE OF ALL SAINTS' CHURCH, LIVERPOOL.-it is at

all times a pleasing duty to advert to any testimony of regard
shewn by a congregation to their minister; and it is with
^r+'at satisfaction we refer to the fact of the above rev. gen-
ti;man having received a tribute of esteem on his leaving the
curacy of. All Saints' Church, in this town. The testimonial

consisted of a complete and elegant " Pocket Communion
Service," with an inscription stating briefly what were the
motives leading to its being presented to him. Mr. James
Matthews was deputed to convey the gratifying testimonial
to Mr. Orme, and the rev. gentleman acknowledged the gift
in the most pleasing terms. We have copies of the letters

now before us, but cannot make room for them

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.—We had hoped that
the iniquitous proceedings of this hypocritical body had
reached a climax. Not content with uttering the most pal-
pable falsehoods—with doing all in their power to create a
feeling of hostility between the aristocracy and their depend-
ants—with making religion the stalking-horse for forwarding
their diabolical projects—they intend next Sunday, by way of
" feeler," to outrage the sentiments of all right-thinking
persons, by a gross desecration of the sanctity of the Sabbath.
We learn from a paragraph in the Albion of yesterday, that
Mr. Giles will deliver a lecture on Sunday next, on what is

most shamefully styled " the oppression of the poor," and a
collection will be made afterwards, the proceeds of which

are to be given towards carrying out the schemes of the anti-
corn-law conference. We are glad to see that the dissenting

ministers of the town have refused this itinerant the use of

their chapels, and he is therefore compelled to make use of
the Templars' Hall to pour forth his ill-digested sentiments.
We hope few people will countenance such a lecturer on such

an errand

How TO SEND A NEWSPAPER BY POST.—Envelopes are
unnecessary. Fold the sheet in four, with the pages in their
proper order ; lay it on a table with the front page down, and

_ the. last page upmost ; double it twice equally it will now
be in the form in which it is generally left by the newsman.
Keep the title downwards, and turn the edges of the paper

. -
towards you ; double the edges, or outer margin, over to the
inner margin, covering as far as the fifth column, and that
which you have so doubled, double again ; then turn the
sixth column over upon these folds, which you must take in

a body, and insert in the outside or uppermost tuck fur-
nished by the inner margin part of the paper you have just

. _
turned over upon them,- in 'the manner of folding a letter.
A. compact parcel will thus be formed, requiring neither
string nor sealed paper to keep it together, while it relieves
the post-office people from the bother of looking
-for stray

envelopes, and affords them an easy opportunity of examin--
ing the paper, to see whether you try to cheat them of a penny
by a surreptitious communication. Superscribe or direct the
paper under the title of the paper, and low enough down in

. .
the margin to prevent it being cut or torn off without carry-
ing some of the print with it. Papers thus directed seldom
fail to arrive at their proper destination.
ASSAULTING A POLICE-OFFICER.-At the police court

yesterday, two brothers named. Harrison, and Jones,
their clerk, were charged with :- having been concerned
—one of them—in assaulting a young woman who was
passing along the:street, andevho'had offered no provocation,

and the others with ani attempted rescue. They were in-
toxicated at the time, and were required to pay a fine of 20s.

each and cost's.

INQUESTS.—On Saturday last, an inquest was held before
Mr. Curry, on view of the body of a female infant—name

unknown. It appeared that the was eight or ten days
old, and was found in a box on smile balkS, in a vacan piece
of ground in Cambridge-street,. N 6 clue was discovered to
the mother, nor could it be ascertained, on a post mortem
examination, of what it' had died.- .The jury. therefore, re-
turned a verdict of " found dead."—Same day an inquest
was held on view of the body of amen unknown, which was
found in the Canning Dock gut. Verdict to the effect that -
the deceased, who was unknown, was " found drowned."
THE CALEDONIA.—This vessel, the regular days of whose
sailing was the 2nd instant from Boston and the 4th from
Halifax, has not arrived at the hour we are compelled to put
our paper to machine to be in time for the early mornintT n post.
Whether she sailed on her regular day, or was detained eithcr
at Boston or at Halifax, has been a -Matter of conjecture
since Friday, on whith.,-day she was, according to the aver-
agepassages of the royal mail steamers; due at this port.
Her arrival, which was anxiously expected before the im-
portant news by the Sheridan was received, is now looked
for with increased anxiety, in the expeotation'that,if she was
detained either at Boston or at Halifax, and not retarded on
her voyage by some mishap or heavy weather, she will be the
bearer of still more important intelligence. The general im-
pression seems to be that she was detained by Mr. Fox, to
bring some important despatches which in all probability he
will have to forward to Government.
Tue BRITANNIA.—This vessel should have proceeded to
sea to-day. On Sunday, however, an order was received at
the Postoffice from the Postmaster-General, that her sailing
should be postponed forty-eight hours. The detention has
been ordered, no doubt, in the hope that the Caledonia will
arrive meanwhile, and enable the government to answer the

despatches and the merchants the letters she may bring. On
the voyage which will commence on Thursday next the
Britannia will, for the first time, be commanded by our
townsman, Captain John Hewitt. This gentleman, who had
distinguished himself as the first officer of those splendid and
well-known Liverpool Indiamen the Bland and the Euphrates,
was engaged in the same capacity by the proprietors of the
Royal William, in which vessel he sailed when the adveturous
attempt to cross the Atlantic in a steam-boat, during the
winter season, was first hazarded and achieved. He was
subsequently employed as the chief officer of the Alexandria
mail boat, the Great Liverpool; and, more recently, of the
steamer to the command of which he is now promoted. The
compliment is the more flattering to Captain Hewitt, since
it originated in no consideration of private connexion or
personal influence, but was conferred as the reward of
superior merit and tested ability.
AN ARTFUL DEFRAUDER.—At the Police-court yesterday,
a man in a black velveteen coat, and otherwise decently
attired, named John Titus, was charged with having de-
frauded a female, a shopkeeper, of a sovereign, under the
following circumstances. About half-past eleven o'clock on
Saturday night, he went into the shop and requested to be
accommodated with change of a£s note. A young man, an
assistant in the shop, went out with the note in order to
assure himself that it was good ; arid during his absence, the
female, who belived it to lie good, gave the full change. This,
however, he denied, stating that she bad given him only
; and as he made a disturbance, she went to her own box
and gave him another sovereign out of it, though on count-
ing the first money in the shop, which she had seen shortly
before, she found a sovereign short. it also appeared in
evidence that he had gong to another shop shortly before, to
change the note, and after getting three and a half sovereigns,
and the rest in silver, he tost two sovereigns into the drawer
from which it had been taken from some other money, and
asked for six half sovereigns in exchange for three sove-
reigns, which he said he had deposited. The cheat was,
however, so obvious, that it did not succeed. Another wit-
ness said that he well remembered the prisoner. About 12
months ago, while he (witness) was conducting a shop in
Sheffield, the prisoner came in in a similar way and asked
for change, which he got. He then said he wanted some
smaller change for a part of what he had got, and before wit-
ness was aware, got round the counter close to him, and
tossed some of the money back against the other, and
alleged that he had put back double the amount. By this
manoeuvre witness became a loser of 55., and had he ac-
ceded to the demand of the prisoner, he would have lost
double the amount. On a subsequent day he returned to
the shop, bought a hat, gave a £5 note, and attempted the
same trick, but was ordered away. Mr. Rushton said that
he could not take cognizance of a transaction in another
town, and at a period so far back ; but the two other cases
showed that lie was an accomplished and cunning thief. He
sent him to the House of Correction for a month, and or-
dered that the expense of his maintenance there should he
defrayed out of the money (£4 195.) that was found upon him
when he was apprehended.
THE MOST PUBLIC PAPER IN LIVERPOOL.—A gentle.
man in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, being desirous of giving the
greatest publicity to some contemplated improvements in
locomotive engines, forwarded through the post a letter, con-
taining the details of his plans, and directed " To the Editor
of the- Most Public Newspaper, Liverpool." This commu-
nication', as a matter of course, reached the office of the
STANDARD, £ll6 poSt-office clerks 'Considering, after mature
reflection, and with praisewortky 'discrimination, that the
STAnnup is for all useful purposes most likely to advance
the interests of those who are wishful of rendering all possi-
ble publicity to their advertisements and other announce-
ments. We merely mention the subject to show our good
friends at the Mercury-office that, however much they may
be enamoured with their vaunted circulation, no other person
considers it (such as it is) any recommendation for additional
publicity.
Lived:Toot, MARINE SOCIETY.—On Saturday the mem-
bers of this society held a general meeting in the room of the
Shipmasters' Association,, Old Hall-street, for the purpose
of receiving and adopting, if agreed upon, the amended code
of rules which had been prepared by a committee. Thomas
Murray Gladstone, Esq., president of the society, took the
chair, and he read over the whole of the rules which he stated
had been submitted to Mr. Tidd Pratt, and certified by him
as being in conformity with the act of parliament, for regu-
lating the enactments of benefit societies. A long discussion
ensued upon them between the chairman, Mr. Chapman,
Mr. Aikin, Mr. Potter, Mr. Rowett, Mr. Yates, Mr. A.
Smith, jun., Mr. Duncan Gibb, Captain Ropet, Mr. Sutton,
and others, at the end of which a resolution was unanimously
passed on the Motion of Captain Roper, seconded by Captain
Streit], that the amended rules be adopted. They appeared
to give perfect satisfattion, every ground of objection on the
part of marine 'members being reradved altogether. Mr.
Gladstone then announced, that' in' consequence of his in-
tended removal front Liverpool', he shoUld be *disqualified
from Officiating any longer as president of the society, and,
therefor, he begged leaVe to resign' the situation he had at
present the heriour to'hold. The resignation was accepted,
and on the Motion of-Mr. Rowett, seconded by Mr. Duncan
Gibb, Potter, 4sq:; vice-president; 'wds unanimously
appointed president in 'the plaCe of Mr. Gladstone, and Mr.
Alexander Sniitt,

president. Mr. Stitt was appotrited'i Member of the gene-
ral committee. ' The businege having' been' disposed of, the
thanks of the society were preserned-to Mr. Thomas Murray
