TO. THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
Ma; EDITOII,—Win you allow me, through the medium o f
your paper, to call the,attention of the proprietor of the
above gardens to the practice of charring for the admission
of children above four years of age. It is of course neces-
sary for some one to accompany a child, and that person
goes, in general, solely for that purpose. It seems hard,
therefore, to demand payment for the admission of two
persons. . . . . .

I use the freedom to suggest to the proprietor, the age of
ten years, as the limit for -free admission, in lieu of four
years.- Not only would he afford pleasure to many, by
adopting this course, but I believe he would find it beneficial
to himself.—l am, sir, your-obedient servant,

STRANGE PROCEEDING IN A DISSENTING
CONGREGATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—There is a certain portion of the dissenters of this
town who are continually harping upon what they call church
intolerance; but I think that you will agree with me that
the following occurrence, which lately took place, has seldom
been equalled. Many of your readers will recollect that a
young and talented preacher, of the Independent denothina-
tion, and minister of Newington Chapel, in this town, was
drowned in a mysterious manner, and his remains were in-
terred in the burying ground of the above-named chapel.
This melancholy event took place about twenty-nine years
ago. About four years since the Rev. Mr. Dallison, a mi-
nister of the same place, died, and his widow iiterred him in
the same grave with Mr. Spencer. This permission was
given to her by the trustees of the chapel. However, about
a month since some of the official persons connected with the
chapel took upon themselves to take up Mr. Dallison's body,
and put it in another grave, thinking, no doubt, that the re-
mains of one good man would corrupt the other. This pro-
ceeding has caused many of the congregation to leave, one of
which is Mr. Dallison 's widow. This strange proceeding
has caused a great sensation among many of the respectable
dissenters, and who are sorry that Mr. Bevan, the present
minister, should have given it his countenance. It is said
that an insane woman, who resides on the Cheshire side of
the Mersey, has been the cause of this transaction, and as
she is very rich, of course the performers would be well paid.

CORNS.—A correspondent declares the following to be a
" never-failing remedy for corns," and as recommended by
J. Henderson, M.R.C.S., and therefore on respectable au-
thority:—Take of tincture
,of iodine 4 drachms, ioduret of
iron 12 grains, chloride of antimony 4 drachms ; to be ap-
plied with a camel-hair brush, after paring the corn. The

nerally sufficient.—Month :g Herald.
The metropolis compriSes an area of 70 square miles, or
about 91 miles in diameter, and thus assuming a radius of
five miles from St. Paul's Cathedral. Every year London
is adding to its population that of a city equal to York. The
total population of the metropolis is now 1,950,000, and by
the end of next year it will exceed 2,000,000, and in ten
years a population of 400,000 has been added, which is as
much as the ancient city in the time of Charles the Second.
A reprieve has been granted by her Majesty to Celia Tip_
pinsthe wretched woman who was condemned to death, at
the ate Gloucester Assizes, for the murder of her illegiti-
mate infant. She is to be transported for life. It is be-
cause there are circumstances in this unhappy creature's
case which render her as much an object of pity as her crime
excites abhorrence, that we participate in the general feeling
of satisfaction that she haS been suffered to live, and that
she has an opportunity afforded her of repentance and
amendment.
