from which it appeared, that although the populatiml had
been quadrupled, the ministers of religion had not beeii
increased in anything like the same ratio. After stating
a number of very interesting details regarding the nature
of the operations, and the success of the society, he con-
cluded by making an ardent and eloquent appeal to the
people of Liverpool on behalf of the society.
The Rev. 11. HAMPTON proposed the next resolution,
and gave a statement of the great and beneficial effects
which had flowed to his parish from the assistance he had
received from the Pastoral Aid Society. In consequence
of the exertions of that society his congregation had been
increased to a considerable extent. In fact, he had been
forced to have increased accommodation to the amount of
400 sittings in his church. (Applause.) As the resolu-
tion was one for the appointment of the officers of the
society, he would merely propose it, and leave it to be_
spoken to by the gentleman who was to succeed him

The Rev. J. N G. ARMYTAGZI (one gf the dePutation)
next addressed the meeting in a very lucid and forcible
speech, which was listened to throughout with the most
rkee

mar. attentim, ie concluded by seconding the reso-
lution. The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously
voted to the Chairman, and the meeting- was closed with
suitable prayers.
in the course of theevening a collection was taken up,
which was liberally eoatributed to.

FINANCIAL- AND COMMERCIAt. SUMMARY.
The London mbney market during thwweek has been
affected by the announcement, by Lord John Russell, of
his measures for the relief of the existing: destitution in
Ireland, and the nOW-astertained eertaintythat a large
amount of specie will be drawn out of the country to pay
for our imports of bread stuffs. For Ireland,. seven mil-
lions is estimated as- the amount likely to he- required ;
bat that which will have to, go towards the 'payment of
foreign grain is not' so easily estimated. The Prince
Albert, New York liner; from Portsmouth; took out
£BO,OOO. £300,000 is• said to be the amount already in-
sured for by the Boston. steamer of the 4th instlint, and
policies have been effected for a considerable sunohy next
month's steamer. The rate for the 4th Februarris 305.,
the bwiness previously done having been effected at from
15s. to. 255. Considerablsums are also going to Russia.
Consols slightly declined' during the week, the closing
ptice on Saturday being 9I for money, and 91/ f6r-the
a6count.

This condition of the mcrtey,market, together with,the
ntnense quantity of food released by the govertment
measure suspending the Corn-and Navigation Laws, have
operated to give a check to the speculation going crt• in
bread-stuffs; and prices haveveceded in all our markets,
The-impression seems to be established, that prices have
attained' their maximum ; and' that stocks will be me re
freelrbrought forward. In addition, we have the fact
,that the navigation of the Riieer• tludson is now open,
and certain knosledge that the :crops in the United StaseSi
yet to come forward, are abundant:
Our Cotton market in the commencement of the weelt
a was &pressen; and on Wednesday prices were quoted

The total:, sales in Liverpool for-the week have been
24,600 bales; of which speculators- have taken nearly
10,000, leaving about 15,000 for consumption. The im-
ports have this week considerable exceeded the o era

The same gloom, which we noticed lastweek, continues
to prevail in sthe Manchester market for manufactured
goods ; and anticipations are very..--general that a bad
spring trade, with.. the contracting Rendition of the money
-ket, is in prospect. The spinners ,appear to 3--

_ . oe carry-
ing the little business doing it a emery, serious sacrifice,
yarn being marketable at prices fittik above those realised
before the advancein raw material.. There is every dan-
ger of a large amount'of machinery,..already working half
time, having to -stop, altogether.

In our producemarkets there is little •change to notice.
Sugar has slightly declined from the highest rates of last
week. In shares there is little doing,

LIVERPOOL. POLYTECHMG SeCTETY

At the morthly meeting held last night; at the Royal
Institution, Mr—Charles I. Smith, the treasurer of the
society, exhibited to the members. present a beautiful
apparatus for inhaling the vapour of Asulphnric tether,

Smith, the eminent dentist of Colquitt-
W of a large flat'-bottornod flask, into

the ground 'neck of which was fixed a smaller globular
glass vessel, having at the top a neck fitted with a ground
glass stopper, and at the bottom a--,tube reaching nearly
to the bottom_ of the larger vessel. The ripper Wssel was
filled with pieces of sponge, saturated with tether, and
over the bottom of the lower one there was placed a num-
ber of pieces of-the- same substance, similarly saturated.
Near the bottom of the lower vessel,. a neck was blown,
to which was attached a flexible tuber and to the other
end of the t-uhe was affixed a mouth-piece, which was
very beautifully contrived to fit close round the mouth
of the patient: In proximity to- the mouth-piece were
fixed two valves, both opening, upwards, and acting in
such a manner that, durine the 2rt nf.

one communicating with the astherial vapour should
open, and during the act of expiration it should close, and
the upper one opening at the same -instant should allow
the air fromthe. lungs to escape -freely into the atmos-
phere, so that at every succeeding•inspiration the patient
should enhale a quantity of fresh vapour, uncontaminated
by that which was previously respired. Mr. Smith stated
that he had'called UpOn his friend,- the- proprietor of the
apparatus before• them for the purpose. of witnessing
f its application.. when he not only saw it tried
,upon

two patients, but also experiericer d its effects upon
himself. Neither of the two patients were able to
inhale the sether. He (Mr. Smith) then volunteered to
inhale it, ana-in two-and-a-half minutes was in a state of
profounePinsensibility, in whichhe.remained for about two
minutes. Mr. Smith' then proceeded to point out very

clearly the sensations he eXperienced, having resolved
when he commenced imbibing the vapour to mark them.
These are extremely interesting,:but we cannot tind.room
for them-until next week. The. result of the e3.cpernuent
satisfiedlim that many persons were unable to inhale the
vapour effectually, on account:of the irritating effects •of

bronchiattubes, which often oceAsip coughing, nausea,
and other distressing effects. This led him to adopt a
