A correspondent of the Morning Herald suggests that
Campbell's fine stirring song " Ye Mariners of England,"
which has lately been set to music, should be sung at our
theatres and convivial meetings in the metropolis, as a set-off
against the Parisians in the Marseillaise Hymn. The senti-
ments in that truly national composition are peculiarly adapt-
ed to the present times, particularly in the event of war.

EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE OF POTATOES.—Mr. Phipps,
of Tower, near Mold, planted this year, two ordinary sized
potatoes, weighing about three-quarters of a pound, cut into
nine pieces or sets, which small number of plants produced
the enormous weight of 36 pounds. The name of this species
of prolific vegetable Mr. Phipps does not at present know,
but will endeavour to find out and propagate the same, for
the benefit of his brother farmers.—Chester Courant.
SUMMARY VENGEANCE.—At the late fair held at Win-
canton, a wax-work figure of Courvoisier, the murderer of the
late lamented Lord William Russell, was exhibited for the
gratification of the curious in such matters ; among the visi-
tors to the show was a person named T. S.—, of North
Cadbury, who, on observing the figure of Courvoisier, asked
who it was, and on being told that it was the murderer of Lord
William Russell, he solemnly declared " that he would
knock his head off, for that such a person should not be kept
at Wincanton." The man made no more ado, but absolutely
inflicted the threatened thump, and, sure enough, off tumbled
the head of the Swiss murderer. This zealous guardian of
the good name of Wincanton, however, had to pay the sum
of 10s. 6d. for the assault committed on the unconscious
body of Courvoisier.—Bristol Mirror.

The magistrates of the Dunmow sessions have decided that
persons coming from a distance for the purpose of attending
divine service at a place of worship, of which they are regu-

A NEW FEATURE.—At the Hereford Musical Festival, a
new feature was introduced by the conductor in Handel's
celebrated chorus, " All we like sheep. At the conclusion
of this chorus the time was gradually relaxed, and the voices
and instruments were all subdued to " pianissimo." The
critics were in raptures at the beautiful effect it produced,
and the splendid idea it gave of the subject.

GRAND
EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT.

LAYING OF THE FOUNDATION-STONE

OF THE
LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.

Yesterday was a proud day for Liverpool, and, in
reference to the paramount cause of sound Scriptural
education, we may add a proud day for England; for
on it was laid, under the auspices of a vast congrega-
tion of the nobility, clergy, gentry, and innumerable
friends of good government, order, and religion, the
foundation-stone of a noble edifice, to be called THE
LIVERPOOL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION, " for the
education of the commercial, trading, and working
classes" of this great emporium of commerce and the
surrounding country ; in which, as stated in the pro-
spectus of the establishment, " instruction in the doc-
trines and duties of Christianity, as taught by the
United Church of England and Ireland, shall for ever
be communicated, in combination with literary, scien-
tific, and commercial information."

We have supplied below the rules of the Institution,
which embody interesting details of its objects, the
mode of government, the privileges of members, and
the nature of tuition to be imparted to the respective
classes of students. We need therefore but briefly ad-
vert to the origin and prospects of an establishment
which has already, by virtue of its intrinsic merits,
taken inseparable hold of the public mind.
It had for many years been a subject of deep regret
to all classes attached to the venerable Protestant
Church of our fathers, in its constitutional connexion
with the State, that while educational schools were
rising amongst us on all sides, where dissent from the
doctrines of that church, or the more baleful errors of
Popery, were industriously disseminated,—or where
religion being systematically excluded, the pupils were
left on the wide and dangerous ocean of chance,—it
was lamented that while this was going on, there was
no seminary in which the sons of true churchmen could
receive an education based on the doctrines and prin-
ciples in which they had themselves been nurtured.
Impressed not less with this fact as regarded the tem-
poral and spiritual welfare of those nearest and dearest
to them, than virtuously alarmed at the spread of
error, and even of infidelity, as regarded a great mass
of their fellow countrymen, a number of highly respect-
able and influential individuals proposed the present
institution ; and it was hailed by many of their fellow
townsmen with an enthusiasm which gave augury of
its indubitable success. The prospectus was issued in
October, 1839. It proposed that the instruction to be
given should be divided into three departments :—The
first school to include " the classics, English litera-
ture and composition, geography, civil and ecclesiasti-
cal history, modern language, mathematics, natural
history and philosophy, chemistry, drawing, and every
other branch of useful learning ;"—the second school
to be on a more limited and less expensive scale—em-
bracing, however, " the various requisites of a sound
general education," so as to enable the pupils to enter
upon the business of life with advantage to themselves
and the community; and in addition to these an eve-
ning school " for the instruction of those whose edu-
cation bad been comparatively neglected in early life,"
—" the exercises in each school to be commenced and
terminated with prayer, and the reading and exposition
of the Holy Scriptures to form a portion of the daily
business of the schools." The prospectus also set
forth the mode of management by a committee of the
subscribers, • the appointment of masters who are uni-
versity graduates, &c.

On the 6th of January of the present year (little
more than two months after the issuing of this pros-
pectus) a general meeting of the subscribers took
place, when the gratifying announcement was made,
that notwithstanding the commercial pressure of the
times, the sum subscribed up to that time was upwards
of £10,000! That amount, as will be seen by the list
below) has since been greatly augmented. It was also
announced that the Lord Bishop of the diocese had
expressd his entire approbation of the plan on which
the committee had acted, and his willingness to under-
take the office of visitor to the institution.

From that period to the present the funds conti-
nued to increase, and the institution to become more
and more generally approved of. The committee ex-
erted themselves to procure a suitable site, and even-
tually purchased a plot of land in Soho-street. Plans
for the building were advertised for, calling forth the
first architectural talent of the country; and from the
designs sent in, one admirably adapted for such an
institution was selected. In order, however, that so
splendid an edifice might be seen to advantage, that
plot was abandoned in favour of a more eligible site
in Shaw-street, Everton, which has the advantage of
being more open and airy. The greater distance from
the town generally, as affecting the convenience of the
pupils in the more humble walks of life, will, it is
stated, be compensated for by the establishment of
branch schools at the Church of England free schools,
at the north and south ends of the town.
It should here be noticed that some details con-
nected with the establishment have not yet been en-
tered into ; amongst which is the terms of admission
of pupils to the several schools. It is, however, we
learn, in contemplation to make such an arrangement
as will render the institution accessible to the children
of the middle classes, as well as those of the highest
individuals in the community. A Principal is to be
appointed to superintend the whole, with the power to
appoint or dismiss the professors and masters. It is
also stated that all these will be remunerated by a
graduated scale of fees, regulated by their success in
their respective departments,—so that talent and assi-
duity will be the more effectually incited.
The reader will be the better enabled to appreciate
the objects and merits of the institution, by perusing
