ROBBERY TO A LARGE AMOUNT BY AN APPRENTICE.

stated, was for church erection, £ll,OOO as donations. and
about £1,200 in subscriptions. Their grants had been

WINES FOR FAMILY CONSUMPTION.—We refer our
readers to the advertisement of Messrs. Ogle, Thompson,
and Co., in our first page to-day, and feel justified in re-
commending a trial of their wines, not on account of their
prices, but on account of their qualities. We generally
regard a cheap article as an inferior one, but these wines
are an exception to the rule—they are moderate in price
and undeniable in excellence : indeed a single trial will
remove all doubt, and the very fact of their having sup-
plied the choicest wines to the Town-hall during the visit
of Prince Albert, and at the cl(jeliner at Birkenhead on
the opening of the docks, add a reputation to their
names that is by no means unenviable.

Lord—that they -might be fitted for a happy eternity.
The necessity for such a preparation for eternity must be
imperatively felt in the present day by every true and sin-
cere Christian ; for when the Christian looks around him
on the enormously increasing population—increasing in
vice and immorality as fast as it is in numbers—he must
be struck with the necessity which exists for any institu-
tion which endeavours to afford the means of providing for
the religious and the educational wants of the people.
(Hear, hear.) He would next allude to that part of the
report which urged the absolute necessity which existed
for their being economical and careful in granting assist-
ance for the building of new churches. They would all
rejoice to see the country studded over with towers and
spires pointing to Heaven, decorated with simple and or-
namental architectural designs ; but, whilst they would be
happy to behold a sight so honourable to religion and
the glory of GOD, still they should remember that, at
the present time, they more essentially required houses
of worship, simple and unadorned, in which the poor

of the diocese might have the privilege of bowing
their knee in humble adoration of the Most High.
(Hear, hear.) They, in the first instance, required that
the poor should be provided with chapels, even if they
should be without spire, or tower, or chancel, or gallery,
if that were necessary. Let them have churches first, and
ornament them afterwards. Indeed, with regard to the
latter species of church ornament—a gallery—he thought
that they would all be glad if they could build a sufficient
number of churches to enable them to dispense with the
use of such incumbrances, which, in all cases where he had
'seen them introduced, merely assisted to destroy the
beauty of the internal architecture of the building. He
thought it would be wise and judicious, on the part
of the society, if they assisted congregations in doing
only those things which were essentially necessary for the
building of churches, allowing the decorative part of such
edifices to remain for another season, when they would
be in a better condition to assist them in such under-
takings. With respect to the objects of the society he
would beg leave to remark, that they were not to provide
churches for Liverpool, Manchester, and other such dis-
tricts, where there was local wealth enough for that
purpose ; but to provide churches for those parts of the
diocese that were almost unable to provide churches for
themselves. (Hear, hear.) These were the objects for
which they were associated, and they were, perhaps, the
most philanthropic in which the mind and energies of a
true churchman could be engaged. (Hear, hear.) With
these few observations he begged leave to second the
resolution that the report now read be adopted.
The Rev. Mr. ASHTON felt great pleasure in seconding
the motion of the Rev. the Junior Rector of the parish.
The resolution was then put, and carried nem. dis.
The Rev. Mr. JONES proposed the next resolution,
which he read as follows :

" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that the wel-
fare of this country is closely connected with an adequate
provision of Church accommodation and Pastoral super-
intendence, for the inhabitants of every parish, of both of
which many parishes are still destitute.'
He (Mr. Jones) intended merely to have read the resolu-
tion which he held in his hand, and to have contented
himself with simply proposing it to the meeting, because
it contained such self-evident truths, that anything
which he could say would be superfluous ; but he was
reminded by his friend on his right (the Reverend Mr.
Campbell), that economy was necessary to be observed
in the distribution of their funds for church building
purposes. He was one of those who thought that they
could not expend too much money in ornamenting their
churches—in making them edifices worthy alike of the
glory of God and the honour of religion ; but of course
utility was the first object which they should study. Yet
he could not but think that both ends—both the erec-

tion of useful buildings, and their decorations—might be
accomplished by exercising a little of that sound discretion
which the Society had ever evinced. In the first place,
he thought it would be well to build churches sufficiently
large to accommodate the wants of the people ; and when
that was done, they might afterwards be beautified
to any extent the parishioners wished. This, to be sure,
was stated in the report ' • and he might be allowed to say
that he never listened to the reading of a report which
gave him more pleasure than that one had done. (Hear,
hear, hear.) He thought it would be unwise in
them not to economise their funds. (Hear.) When
they reflected on the course pursued by their ancestors,
some 30 or 40 years ago they should indeed be cautious.
Then Parliament gave £1,000,000 for the building of
churches over the kingdom ; but he would ask, was the
result of a grant so liberal that it might have fully sup-
plied the necessity which existed for their exertions ?
Why there was a great amount of waste on 'some particu-
lar churches, and the wants of the people were left unsup-
plied. He trusted that the report would not only be
printed, but widely circulated ' • for he was of opinion that
the observations of the Rev. Chancellor, as expressed in
that report with reference to the caprice and self-willed-
ness of subscribers, would when published, have the
most beneficial effect on the public mind. It would be
eminently calculated to check those evils of which it
complained. The public, in his opinion, ought to be
taught what to do in the way of true charity. The best
way in which any person, who N3Las so rich and so
liberal as to do so, could benefit the church was by placing
his donation at the disposal of those who were so well
acquainted with the disposal of such gifts as to be in them-
selves a guarantee that such a donation would not be mis-
applied. If such a course were adopted generally, and
the body so entrusted with the donation allowed to exer-
cise its own will in the disposal of it, the self-will and
caprice which was now so injurious to the working of the
society would no longer be complained of.

. .
The Rev. T. BOLD briefly seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously.

Mr. J. JOHNSON, of Runcorn, in proposing the third
resolution, observed that he would, in doing so, content
himself with saying that the value of the society had been
most apparent. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was as follows :—" That this meeting
desires to return thanks to Almighty God for the increased
church accommodation, which has been provided in this
diocese, and considers that the Diocesan Society may
justly claim the support of all classes in the community."
Archdeacon RUSHTON rose to move that the present
officers.of the society be reappointed to their respective
offices for the present year, and said that the observations
which he had to make were few indeed. Notwithstanding
that they had already expended one-and-a-half millions of
money in the erection of churches, and half a million more
for the building of schools, still it was apparent to all who
knew anything of the religious state of the people, that
much more was required for that purpose. Much had
been effected by t Le Diocesan Society,—it had created a
aeinatid for churches and schools which its most sanguine
promoters and supporters never anticipated. But much
though it had done, much more was yet required. He
owned that it should never be lost sight of, that privat
individuals had been doing

much, v(

the more that private individuals did, the m
required of their society, for they would be creating a
greater demand upon them. It was wrong for people to
be impressed with the idea, that the more they did towards
the production of their object, they were approaching
the more speedily to the termination of their labours.
Such an impression was wrong indeed, for it only argued
that the more they did the less would be expected of
them. They had to be sure made provision for their super-
abundant population ; but if they had done so, that was
principally dotse in districts where there was local wealth.
But now the applications were coming in from the dis-
tricts where there was little local wealth, especially
from the districts created by Sir Robert Peel's Act. They
bad clergymen preaching the gospel in places in this coun-
try which would not be occupied for any other purpose
whatever. They held Divine Service in such places as
Breweries, Public-house, in rooms and cottages and
such places as the people could remain during the
service. They had beard a great deal said of
the sufferings of their brethren engaged in the foreign
missions ; but ho was of opinion that the labours of their
own clergy at home were nearly, if not fully, as arduous
and severe. He knew three clergymen himself, who had
lost their health from their exertions in behalf of the
poor, in situations similar to those he had just described.
On these grounds, therefore, he would urge on the society
the propriety of their appealing to the public for increased
funds, to enable them to carry out the objects which they
had in view ; for it was heart-rending to read at their board
meetings the accounts sent in from time to time of the reli-
gious destitution of the people and the clergy of the different
districts. However, they had the gratifying fact to reflect
on that the public were still with them, and in this town,
where dissent was said to be prevailing, they were most
supported. They had the poor with them, who still
knew that the church was the educatrix of the people as
well as their great public moral and religious instructor.
The venerable Archdeacon then resumed his seat.
The Rev. C. LAWRENCE seconded the motion, which
was carried unanimously.
The Rev. RECTOR CAMPBELL then made some remarks
in explanation of what he meant, by impresssing on the
society the necessity of using economy in the distribution
of its funds ; after which, on the motion of the Very Rev.
the Chancellor, a most cordial and flattering vote of thanks
was passed to the Rev. Chairman, for his undeviating zeal
in the cause of religion, and truth, and the interests of the
society.

would b

The motion was carried by acclamation

The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in returning his heartfelt and
sincere thanks for the kind and cordial expression of
thanks to him for his poor and limited exertions in behalf
of their society, took occasion to pass a well merited eulo-
gium on the people of Liverpool for the zeal which they
have ever manifested for the support of religion and
the Church of Christ ; and also for their beneficent
charity on every occasion where distressed humanity
appealed to them for relief. In illustration of •this
the• reverend and venerable rector stated that when he
and a friend of his proposed to build the new churches
now erected in the fields, he made a calculation of the
amount of money then being paid by the people of Liver-
pool for the erection and repairing of their own churches,
and he found that they were actually contributing above
£BO,OOO for that purpose. After again thanking them,
and impressing on the meeting the necessity of making
vigorous exertions in support of the society, the reverend
gentleman resumed his seat.
The meeting then separated.

THE Caors, &c.—Since our last week's publication the.
weather for the first five days was dry, and generally sunny
by day, but with a slight frosty night and morning air.
Vegetation had not so far progressed that any damage
worth notice has been done. Field operations in the
neighbourhood have gone on briskly, and nearly all the
spring seed is in the ground. The first crop of early po-
tatoes in gardens, and sheltered bits of fields, aro-in some
" early " localities in these districts, and particularly
where covered with litter by night, in a remarkably for-
ward state, considering the long drought and cold easterly
winds. We have seen some upwards of two inches above
the ground, and in full and large leaf—apparently quite
healthy. The wheats generally look well. The glass
which had stood at " Fair," and even abov,
days, began to waver at the latter end of last weex.
Sunday it perceptibly declined, and on that day a ver,
slight rain partially fell. Yesterday morning, the wind,
after a previous threatening from clouds, shifted to the
W.N.W, or thereabouts, and blew fresh, with a heavy
downfal of rain, but in the first instance of hail. This wet
has done much good already. The day was afterwards
fine, but cool from the force of the breeze. Soft showers
and sunshine would now much forward all crops, and
rouse the fullest hopes of the husbandman.
THEFTS OF GRAIN, &C., FROM THE. DOCKS, &C.—The
practice of poor-looking parties, chiefly. Irish, and in-
cluding both males and females, pilfering quantities of
wheat, barley, Indian corn, flour, &c., from bags on the
quays, has become very prevalent. No feler than six or
eight persons wale yesterday charged with this offence at
various docks. They were sent to gaol for from seven to
fourteen days, according to the grades of their respective
delinquencies, several of them having pleaded hunger,
and apparently with truth.—Two poor women were also
charged with'stealing turnips from Windior, but the case
not being clear they were remanded. ..
