TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—At a time when so much is being done for the
advancement of evangelical religion throughout the
country, and when the subject of Eprscopacy is occupying
the attention of many minds deeply interested in the wel-
fare of the nation, I hope you will be able to insert the
following hits!, for the consideration of those well quali-
fipa tn ....•

beloved Protestant Church of England, viz., Ti hethera
bishop should not be appointed to every county in the
kingdom ?" And why not have a bishop to each county as
well as a sheriff? For, without instituting cqmparison,
though their respective duties so materially differ, yet they
are relatively of equal usefulness. Praying that all our
bishops may indeed be men of God, and devoted to the
feeding of Chriit's flock.

SUDDEN DEATns.—Yesterday, an inquest was held be-
fore Mr. Curry, touching the death of Mary Rollinson,
aged sixty-four. Deceased, who lived in Warwick-street.
went to bed well on Thursday night, and was found dead
next morning. She bad been subject to fits, and it ap-
peared from an examination of the body, had died from
asphyxia. Verdict accordingly.—Also, on view of the
body of Ann Muchale, aged seventy-three years. On
Friday night, she went to bed, apparently in better health
than for some time previous. She was an early riser, and
as she did not appear at her usual hour, she was called,
but no answer was given, and she was found to be quite
dead. Mr. Wood, surgeon, made the post mortem exami-
nation, and found she had died .from a peculiar disorder
of the bowels.
THE PRINCE OF WALES STEAMER, AND THE LATE
GAtss.—A passenger by the above boat, on Thursday
last, has favoured us with the following particulars of her
Passage hence to Menai Bridge, which we have much
pleasure in giving publicity to :—The Prince of Wales
left the George's pier at eleven o'clock on Thursday last,
the 22nd, with a strong tide, and a fresh gate from the
north-west against her. At a quarter to one was abreast
the North-west Light-ship, when a tremendous heavy sea
was running, and the wind momentarily increasing in
violence, till it blew a perfect hurricane. Off the Ormes-
head at half-past four, when the gale,if anything, increas-
ed, and the sea was terrific, equal, in the opinion of a
fellow passenger (a nautical man). to any in the Atlantic.
Stil this beautiful, and as she has proved herself, hard
weather boat, battled with the wind and waves most gal-
lantly, riding like a duck over seas that must have swamped
a small-r and less powerful boat. And though she had
to go round Puffin island, through the Sound, and being
then dark, went up the straits at half speed, completing
her passage to the Bridge in eight hours; a passage un-
equalled when the severity of the gale is considered. To
show, which it need only be mentioned, that on that day
the Mersey steamer put back to Liverpool, and the Queen
Victoria to the Men ii Bridge, through stress of weather ;
both being powerful boats, bound to Dublin. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to the vessel's commander,
Capt. Warren, for the seamanlike manner in which the
(c o P r .) vessel was managed, and his attention to the passengers-.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, SUDDEN DEATH ON BOARD SlllP.—Yesterday an
SIR,—In your paper of October 14th, I find a report of inquest was held before the borough coroner, on view of
certain speeches delivered at an anti-slavery meeting in the body of Patrick Coyle, an apprentice on board the
Manchester, in one of which Mr. George Thompson is schooner Jane Emily Hudson, now lying in the George's

specting me. I read no letter front Bishop Meade, that death was caused by extensive disease of the heart,
(whom, indeed, I have not the honour of knowing,) nor, of considerable standing.—Verdict accordingly, " Death
as far as I can recollect, from any other person. from natural causes."
On various other statements contained in the speeches SEAMAN'S WAGES CASE.—At the Police-court, yes-

THE ANTI• SLAVERY LEAGUE &DR. BUNTING

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STAND.4RD.
Sett,—Observing a statement in your paper yesterday,
made by Mr. Frederick Douglass, at the late Anti-Slavery
Meetiag in the Concert-hall, to the effect, that a pro-slal
very American bishop named Meade had written a letter
to the Evangelical Alliance conference in London, which
was read to that conference by the Rev. Dr. Bunting, with
a high eulogium on his character, I beg to it.form you that
a similar stmtement was made by Mr. George Thompson,
at the anti-slavery meeting recently held in Manchester,
and that a letter from Dr. Bunting, of which the following
is a copy, appears in the Manchester Guardian of this
day, totally and unequivocally denying the statement.
Whatever your views as to the proceedings of the Alli-
ance, with reference to the question of slavery, may be,
you will at once see the justice of inserting Dr. Bunting's
letter in your paper, seeing that you have been made-
signedly the means of circulating an unfounded statement,
calculated to injure the reputation of a deservedly popular
minister of the Gospel, and one who lives in the affections
of multitudes of your readers, and of the inhabitants of
Manchester and Liverpool generally.
Should Dr. Bunting's letter, through the medium of
your paper, or by any other means, attract the notice of
Mr. Thompson and his friends, they will also see the pro-
priety of proving their assertion, or of ceasing to reiterate
what is manifestly untrue.

I remain, sir,
Your most obedient servant,
JOSEPH RIPPON.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL ST.INDARD

SlR—The Wednesday evening service at St. Andrew's
church is discontinued, and in lieu thereof a morning ser-

vice at nair-past ten o Cioca appointed. This arrange-
ment is likely to prove more convenient to. many of the
congregation, while those who are in the habit of attend-
ing in the evening will not be greatly disappointed as there
are now sotany churches in the neighbourhood, and at a
distance open for week-day evening service. This desi-
deratum has been much wanted in Liverpool, as I know

capthin had therefore to pay t,
£l7 93. Bd.

of no church open for week days' morning service except
St. Catherine's where prayers are read every Wednesday
mornine at 9. I augur the attendance at St. Andrew's
on the Wednesday morning will be very good, as I shall
not be surprised if many besides, not of S.l.Andrew's con-
gregation avail themselves of the proposed service, and
I think it a fitting opportunity for a coarse of lectures
by different clergymen. In alluding to other churches
being open for week day service I may mention St. Mark's,
St. James's, St. Barnabas, St. Saviour's, St. Luke's, St.
John's, St. Silas, St. Clement's, St. Jude's, St. Augus-
tine's and others more distant.

Your's truly,
• A CHURCHMAN.
