A YOUNG Max attempted to swindle Mr. Beswick,
music-seller, Berry-street, on Friday, by purchasing on
credit, a piano-forte, worth £45, which be represented to
be for Captain Gibbs. governor of the Kirkdale house of
correction. rortunately Mr. Beswick grew suspicious at
the right time, and on finding that the order was a false
one, he of course retained his property.
MURDER AT GARSTANG.—On Saturday night week,
in a drunken brawl at the Horns Inn, Garstang, a young
man, named John Wilding, murdered his companion,
William Pendlebury. The now-fashionable knife was
the instrument of slaughter. The deceased and his mur-
derer, with the others engaged in the row, were factory
operatives. Wilding has been committed to the assizes.
A NUMBER OF GENTLEMEN, resident in the township
of Tarbock, invited Mr. William Roscoe, steward to the
Earl of Sefton, to a public dinner at the Hare and
Hounds, Tarbock, on Wednesday evening last, on the
occasion of his leaving that township to superintend a
more extensive portion cif his lordship's estate. Mr.
George Fleetwood, of Tarbock, occupied the chair, and
Mr. John F. Oilard, of Prescot, the vice-chair.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Mining Journal says :
" No place in the world (and I speak advisedly) is better
adapted for the establishment of extensive works for the
smelting and reduction of all kinds of ores to their respec-
tive metals than are the shores of the Mersey, particularly
the Cheshire side of the river, near which Messrs. John
Bibby and Sons' works are situated. The greater portion
of ores and metals, as well as other articles of import into
this country, from the west coast of South America, come
into the port of Liverpool. The trade is almost monopo-
lised by Liverpool, just as the tea trade, the silk trade,
and the opium trade, from China, is almost, in like
manner, monopolised by London."
COTTON FROM INDIA.—Mr. Hugh Fleming, secretary
to the Manchester Commercial Association, has received
information from the secretary to the East India Com-
pany, that Air. Wm. Rathbone, of Liverpool, has been
instructed to forward to him, for disposal in Manchester,
122 whole anS two half-bales of cotton, received per ship
Anglesey, from Bombay; and that Messrs. Tetley and
Son have been directed to forward; for a similar purpose,
40 bales, shipped from Cochin to London, per Rubicon.
The 144 bales are all Belgaurn-grown ; 32 bales being
from New Orleans seed, 18 of a similar kind, but bearing
a different mark; and 74 from indigenous seed, all the
produce of the season 1850.1. The 40 bales have been
grown from New Orleans seed.—Manchester Guardian.
PORTRAITS LIKE LIFE.—One of the most astonishing
of modern inventions is the instrument called the stereo-
scope, by which a flat picture has all the rounded appear-
ance of solid reality. It was, however, an inelegant up-
pendage•to the drawing-room, and in no way suited for
the pocket. This objection has been overcome by an in-
genious invention of Mr. Beard, the celebrated daguerreo-
type artist, who has designed an instrument to fold for
the pocket, and which may be carried without the slightest
inconvenience. By its means we have a fac-simile, either
of a friend or a landscape, exquisitely minute—true as
the reality, and of such extraordinary beauty of finish,
that it is difficult to describe the emotions of those who
witness it for the first time. A visit to Mr. Beard's esta-
blishment in Church-street would afford as much-surprise
as delight.
SELECT VESTRY.—At the first meeting of the new
vestry, on Tuesday, the Rev. Rector Campbell presiding,
the tender of Messrs. Arthur and George Holme, for the
construction of a mill-house, (so that the labour test may
be applied,) at a cost of £4.060, was accepted. Messrs.
Holmes' tender was stated to be £9OO below the highest,
and £320 below the lowest of the other tenders sent in.
It was agreed that the Finance Committee should con-
sider and report whether arrangements cannot be made
by which the present official's staff can perform Mr.
Litherland's duties as cashier. The committees were
constituted as follows :—Finance : Messrs. Banner,
Clarke, Bradley, Moss, Luff, Mellor, and Whitby.
Workhouse : Messrs. Blain, Denton, Earle, Johnston,
John Jones, and James Whitty. Schools,: Messrs.
Troughton, Pemberton, Hughes, Sumners, Wm. Jones,
Crawford, and Mason.
REMOVAL OF MANCHESTER COLLEGE TO LONDON.—
Manchester has lost its College. In the Court of Chan-
cery, on Wednesday morning, the Master of the Rolls
delivered judgment in the case of Manchester College,
which came before the court on petition, to restrain the
trastees from transferring the college from Manchester to
the University College, London. The foundation was
not originally created either by deed, will, or royal charter
of incorporation ; but as long back as the year 1754, a
school for the education of youths as divines had existed
in Manchester, which, in a few years, was discontinued ;"
and in the years 1783'4.5 attempts were made through
Dr.-Barnes, a divine of the Church of England, and Mr.
Harrison, a Dissenter, to revive the school for the pur-
pose of the education of youths as divines, and preparatory
instruction for other learned professions, as well scientific
as commercial, of all religious denominations:; and ulti-
mately, at a public meeting, held at Manchester, on the
22d of February, 1786, for that purpose, resolutions were
agreed to to carry out the design. In 1803 the academy
was removed to York, and some years afterwards again
removed to Manchester, where until lately it was estab-
lished; but the majority of the trustees, having come to
the resolution to remove the foundation to the London
University, the present proceedings were taken— the
question being whether the trustees had power to divert
or alter the foundation from Manchester, where it was
first established, and to appropriate the funds for that
purpose. His Honour said be was of opinion that the
trustees had full power to do so. His Honour made a
declaration to that effect, and directed the costs of all
parties to be paid out of the fund.

MR. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH AND MR. T. B. 'HORS..
FALL.—A correspondence has passed recently between
these gentlemen. In a speech at Derby, Mr. Heyworth
had said After the committee had decided that he
(Mr. Horsfall) was the unseated member, and that the
seat belonged to me, that very afternoon Mr. Horsfall
met me, and, with the greatest possible effrontery, said
he was about to attend the levee of Prince Albert as one
of the representatives for Derby."—Mr. Horsfall, on this,
begs to know if the report be correct ?—Mr. Heyworth
replied it was substantially correct, except that he did not
say Mr. Horsfall was to be presented as one of the repre-
sentatives for Derby.—On the 4th of April Mr. Horsfall
again wrote :—" My having attended the levee; though
coincident with, was not consequent on, any connexion
with the borough of Derby. It arose from circumstances
into which it is not necessary to enter. What I complain
of is, that you should charge me with having ' met you
and with the greatest possible effrontery told you,' &c.
As I am not aware of having acted discourteously during
the whole election, or its subsequent proceedings, much
less with the' greatest possible effrontery ' either towards
yourself or any other man, I have a right to expect you
will either explicitly disavow having used the offensive
expression to which I refer, or that, having used it, you
at once withdraw it."—Mr. Heyworth, in a letter on the
9th, concludes :—" I hare no hesitation in saying that I
regret that I should have used an expression that has
given you pain; for whilst I feel myself at perfect liberty
to comment in strong terms on the public acts of public
men,l would exceedingly regret giving personal offence in
matters and circumstances of private concern."—Mr.
Horsfall says, in a letter dated on Tuesday last I
cannot admit your right to ground any apology upon
what I stated in my note as to my reasons for attending
the levee. As Ido not desire the continuance of this cor-
respondence, I accept the expression of your regret,
though it is not, in my opinion, as candid and unqualified
as the circumstances demand."

THE PROGRESS OF WEST DERBY.—At the laying of
the foundation-stone of the new parish church on Wed-
nesday, the Earl of Sefton indulged in a few reminiscences
of West Derby as it was fifty years ago. "It was fortu-
nate for them, ' he said, " that they did not remember
the circumstances of the village half a century ago, and
he feared he had too strong a recollection of its situation
at that period. West Derby was • then a small village,
with'paved roads, ugly brick houses, and other circum-
stances which required very great improvement; and in
the centre of that unbecoming erection of buildings there
stood the chapel in which they had so long offered up
their prayers, and in which he had occupied one corner,
and which he would quit with some reminiscences which
would make him look back with great regret, although he
might be placed in a more elegant and convenient pew.
They had seen great improvements. The roads, instead
of being roughly paved, were now macadamised. They
had elegant villas erected in the neighbourhood, all show-
ing taste and elegance. They had the convenience of
coming from Liverpool in elegant public conveyances. In
short, they had every convenience that accrued from the
increase of wealth and population."
PAUL CULLEN AND THE LIVERPOOL ROMANIST
Scßooks.—The Popish Archbishop in Dublin, Dr. Cul-
len, in a sermon delivered in this town, on Sunday week,
contended that the Romanist religion was always in
favour of education and the development of the mind,
although it had been falsely asserted to the contrary.
He alluded to Protestant schools, and said there was
great danger in Romanists sending their children to such
establishments, because there was great fear that the
mind would be estranged from the true faith. Papists
should not send their children to be educated at Pro-
testant schools, becLuse Protestants differed widely in
point of faith, whilst there was no difference whatever
between Roman Catholics on this important point. The
system of mixed education had produced infidelity in
Germany, and in France bloodshed and atheism followed
it. In the United States of America, persons who were
educated in such schools knew nothing about religion or
God. These schools sought to entrap Romanists by
bribes of clothes and money, but he warned all Catholics
not to go near such places with their children for education.
PROFESSOR STOWE, the husband of the distinguished
novelist, in a speech at Liverpool, on Wednesday, said :
" It was our intention, as the invitation to visit Great
Britain came from Glasgow, to make our first landing
there ; but Providence ordered otherwise. It was ordered
by Providence that we should land here, and surely there
is no place in the kingdom where a landing could be more
appropriate, and no place in the kingdom where the re-
ception could have been more cordial. (Hear, hear.) It
was wholly unexpected of us, 1 can assure you. We
knew that there were friendly hearts, for we had received
abundant testimonials to that effect from letters which
had come to us across the Atlantic—letters wholly unex-
pected, and which filled our souls with surprise and admi-
ration; but we had no thought that there was such a
feeling throughout England, and we know not how to
conduct ourselves under it, for we are not accustomed to
it, I can assure you. In our country, unhappily, the
feeling is very much divided, and the preponderance of
feeling expressed is very much in the other direction,
entirely in opposition, and not in favour. (Hear, hear.)
We knew that this city had been the scene of some of the
greatest, most disinterested, and most powerful efforts in
behalf of emancipation. The name of Clarkson was indis-
solubly associated with this place, for here he came to
make his investigations, and here he was in danger of his
life, and here he was protected by friends who stood by
him through the whole struggle. The name of Cropper,
the name of Stephen, and of many others, were very
familiar to us, and were associated with this place—(hear,
hear)—and it was in connexion with this city that we re-
ceived what to our feelings was the most effective testi-
monial of all, a most unexpected letter from Lord Den-
man, a name which we have always venerated, which we
have always loved."
THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF THE NEW PARISH
CHURCH AT 'WEST DERBY was laid on Wednesday last.
The subscription for the new edifice, headed with a dona-
tion of £5OO and the gift of a site from the Earl of Sefton,
was commenced two years ago ; already £6,500 have been
raised. Mr. George G. Scott, of London, is the architect.

and south, 16 ft. square ; chancel, 41 ft. by 25 ; and tower,
30 ft. square. Tile erection of the church will take place
under the direction of Mr. Alfred A. Walton, Mr. Scott's
clerk of the works. Mr. Barker, of West Derby, will be
the builder, and Messrs. Jones and Jump will execute the
joinery and carpentry work. The total cost is expected to
be about £B,OOO. There were present at the interesting
ceremony the committee, including the Earl of Sefton,
Messrs. T. B. Horsfall, Anthony, J. H. Macrae, J. Stew.
art, Rogerson, R. H. Lowndes, the Rev. John Stewart,
rector of West Derby ; Rev. Rector Campbell ; Rev. J.
F. Greene, rector of Knotty Ash ; Rev. Mr. Leigh, rector
of Walton ; a large and respectable assemblage of ladies
and gentlemen, the school children, and the churchwar-
dens. The members of Lord Sefton's family were pre-
sent. After the singing of a hymn, and the reading of
appropriate texts of Scripture, the Rev. J. Stewart, rector
of the parish, handed the trowel to the Earl of Sefton,
whom he addressed at considerable length. The noble
lord, in his reply, expressed his hope that the new church
would tend to the moral and religious improvement of the
neighbourhood. He hoped, and was assured, that the
services of the church would be carried on in a moderate
style, so congenial, he felt assured, to the feelings of all
present, free from the mingled frigidity and extravagances
of dissent, or the semi-idolatrous ceremonies which form
the attractions of Puseyism.—His Lordship cordially
thanked the Rev. Mr. Stewart for his excellent address,
and the advice he had tendered him. He assured him
that it was in the full spirit of what he (Mr. Stewart) had
attributed to him that he was going to perform the cere-
mony of laying that stone. He would lay it with the
view of doing a good service to the community, forhe was no
more interested in the matter than any other person. He
had not a spot of land in the parish, except the spot on
which his house stood ; but he had been long their
neighbour, and he was happy to come forward in such a
good work, under the hands of their parish priest—and he
knew of no more worthy member of society than the
priest who fulfilled the office entrusted to him to con-
tribute to the religious instruction, the moral instruction,
and the comfort of all his parishioners. As Mr. Stewart
had truly said, it was not the church, it was not the
elegance of the structure—it was the living stones of
which it was formed that made the internal body of it.
He knew of no better member of society than a parish
priest, whose duty was to relieve sin and to comfort sor-
row ; and what he knew of the Rev. Mr. Stewart, that
was his conception of his duty, and there was no doubt he
would carry it out. The foundation stone was then
laid by his lordship in the usual manner. after which

THE SOUTHERN PLANTERS AND LIVERPOOL: A
COTTON DEPOT.—The Philadelphia correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle writes :—" A very singular conven-
tion of southern planters is to be held in June next, at
Memphis, Tennessee. The avowed objects of the meet-
ing are to establish a continental depot of cotton in op-
position to Liverpool, and thus to do away with Liver-
pool agencies, middlemen; &c. by a direct exportation.
The call complains that by the present system the sub-
stance of the planters is eaten up, and the exports are
concentrated at Liverpool. And then other objects are,
to build up a southern importing market in opposition to
New York, to have one or two lines of steamers to
Europe, new railroads, to educate southern children at
home, and, in a word, to aim at commercial and industrial
independence. So far as Liverpool is concerned, the
gentlemen who convene the meeting seem to forget the
proximity of that port to the vast cotton region of which
Manchester is the centre—to say little of its wealth, en-
terprise, and shipping. So long as the Lancashire manu-
factories flourish, Liverpool will be not only a depot, but
also an entrepot for the great staple."
THE HERO OF A HUNDRED FIGHTS.—The elegant
statue of Wellington, by Signor Grispi, is now complete,
and has been visited by many gentlemen of taste within
the last week at his studio, Lord-street Chambers. It is
about half the life size, or three feet in height, and re-
presents the warrior in the act of sheathing the sword of
the soldier, that he may resume the duties of the states-
man. He stands upon our own quarter of the globe,
whose convulsions are thus put to rest, and leans against
the olive, the admitted symbol of peace. There is a
pleased expression on his countenance, as if conscious
that war should only be resorted to as a stern necessity,
in conformity with his own memorable saying, that
" nothing can he more unfortunate than to win a battle,
except to lose one." If this statue were executed in
marble, of the full life size, it would be one of the most
suitable ornaments for St. George's Hall, and a memorial
of departed greatness worthy of our important town.
Yesterday the mayor paid a visit of inspection, and,
struck with the beauty of the model, remarked that it
would form a very appropriate figure to crown the column
for the projected Wellington rronument in this town ; he,
however, feared that the funds would be inadequate. We,
recommend our readers to see the model and judge for
themselves, as it may influence further contributions to
the Wellington Monument Fund.
HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE.
—The sixth ordinary meeting of this society for the
session was held in the Collegiate Institution on Thursday
evening last, Dr. Thom, vice-president, in the chair.
Six new members were elected, viz., Charles Turner,
Esq., Dr. Vose, and Messrs. Arthur Ellis, Richard
Houghton, Thomas Henry Lyon, R.N., and Thomas B.
Ryder. The donations to the society included the trans.
actions of a' society at Abbeville, in France, for three
years and a half, silver coins, autographs, books, manu-
scripts, Ste. Among the articles exhibited were en
inquisitio post mortem of the date 15th March, 15th
James I. ; elastic sandstone from India, original and most
accurate portrait of Gilbert Wakefield, several manuscript
letters, an ancient book, and a curious tobacco-pipe. The
Rev. P. S. Dale, at the request of the chairman, accom-
panied his presentation with some appropriate remarks.
Dr. Hume announced that there will be a day meeting in
May, and that the meeting in June will probably be held
in Manchester. A communication was read from Mr.
Boardman, suggesting the insertion of an inscription at
the site of Roscoe's nativity, which is still confounded
with another position in Mount-pleasant, near the Eye
and Ear Institution. Two additional letters from Felicia
D. Browne (afterwards Mrs. Hemans) were read, and the
society concurred in the arrangement that had been made
for inviting the British Association for the Advancement
of Science to meet in this town in 1854. The' following
papers, as announced in the circular, were then read :
Description of Mains's Hall, near Poulton, the hiding-place
of Cardinal Allen, temp. Elizabeth, by the Rev. William
Thornber, 8.A., Blackpool ; Memoranda, referring to the
register of baptism, marriage, and burial, of William
Roscoe, by James Boardman, Esq.; Additional Letters
and Papers respecting the Bateman family, by Thomas
Doming Hibbert, Esq.
AFRICAN MAIL STEAMERS.—The following letter has
been addressed by the passengers to Captain Parsons :
" Steam-ship Faith, at sea, April 12th, 1853. To Cap-
tain Jas. Parsons. Dear Sir,--We, the undersigned, pas-
sengers on board the African mail-steamer Faith, during
this her first passage home, wish thus publicly to express
our satisfaction at the arrangements which were made for
our comfort, and our thanks for the kindness and libe-
rality displayed towards us by yourself ; and we wish also
to express our full appreciation of your talents as an able
and experienced seaman. With respect to the vessel,
although there has been much to contend with, we have
great pleasure in bearing testimony to the good working
condition of the engines, &c. ; and, as a sea-boat, the
late tempestuous weather has been sufficient proof that
she ranks A 1. The culinary department, under the
management of Sir. Painter, has given us every satis-
faction ; and we shall have much pleasure in recom-
mending our friends to your ship. Wishing you health
and many prosperous voyages, we remain, yours, &c.,—
Thomas Gregory, J. G. Sandman, Lorenz Diederichson,
Capt. E. C. Townsend, Capt. G. Maunsell, A. Hook,
Sidi Mehemet Benani, Capt. Lynch, United States Navy ;
Lieut. Robinson, 3d W. I. Regt. ; Lieut. West, R.N. ;
Lieut. Kingsmile, 3d W. I. Regt. ; Dr. Fitzgibbon, Dr.
Pinkerton, Auguste Hardison, Herbert W. Day, T. W.
Remington, N. Alfaro." The Faith's passage out and
home have certainly been most satisfactory. She has not,
we are informed, required pumping out since she sailed,
and generally is in first-rate condition, both as to hull
and machinery, after a run of from 10,000 to 11,000 miles.
The steam-ship Northern Light is also in a forward state
in Mr. Laird's yard, and will open the branch of the
company's Liverpool line on the 10th of October next.
She is to be 1400 tons, and is calculated to carry about
1000 tons of palm oil.
THE LATE JOHN JUST, ESQ, OF BURY.—At the an-
nual general meeting of the British Archaeological Asso-
ciation, held on Wednesday last, Mr. T. J. Pettigrew,
F.R.S.F.S.A., treasurer, read an elaborate and most
interesting memoir of the members of that association
deceased during the past year. Amongst the most pro.
minent of the members thus lost by death to the society
he noticed the late Mr. Just, whose valuable labours in
connexion with philology, science, and antiquities are so
well known to our readers. Born in Westmoreland, and
educated in that district, the lejsure of his life was spent
in the pursuit of his favourite studies in this part of
England, to whose history, botany, and language he
made many valuable contributions. Mr. Pettigrew traced
the history of Mr. Just's contributions to the Manchester
Literary and Philosophical Society, the Historic Society of
Lancashire and Cheshire, the British Archaeological Asso-
ciation (in connexion with whose congress at Manchester
and Lancaster his labours were most important, and justly
and adequately valued), up to his last paper on the West-
moreland dialect, read before the Rosicrucians at Manches-
ter, not long before his lamented decease. The success of
Mr. Just as a teacher and lecturer, his indefatigable zeal in
the prosecution of his favourite studies, his wonderful
memory and facility of reference to his well-stored acquire-
ments, his childlike simplicity, and the kindness with which
he rendered his gteatacquirements useful to his fellow-men,
were admirably and fully dwelt on ; and the meeting testi-
fied, in the warmest manner, their sense of the just and
excellent estimate which Mr. Pettigrew made of Mr. Just,
as a man and a scholar.—Mr. Gould, F.S.A., moved that
Mr. Pettigrew's paper be printed, a motion which was
seconded by Mr. Pidgeon, who said he felt, as a friend of
Mr. Just, that it was impossible for him to omit his slight
testimony to the zeal and acquirements of his deceased friend.
As secretary to the Historic Society of Lancashire and
Cheshire, he had long been associated in their kindred pur-
suits with Mr. Just, and he could not but feel that the
paper just read would prove most agreeable to the friends
of Mr. Just.—The Rev. J. Hugo, M.A.F.S.A., rose and
said, that during his residence in the North of England
he had reckoned Mr. Just amongst his most valued friends.
They had together traversed the whole line of the Roman
Road, in the illustration of which Mr. Just had so success-
fully laboured, and he could add his testimony to all that
had been said of his late friend's untiring labours. On one
point only could he add a word. Mr. Just was much ce-
lebrated as a brother of the angle, and his well-stored
basket, when other men in vain tried to fill theirs, was
often a witneae to hair success in that pursuit.—Afanehes-
ter Guardian.
