" Popery on the one side, and infidelity on the other, having im

efforts to undermine the nation's strength, by tearing up, root an,

Who hold, in faith, our Lord's divinity ;

Embrace idolaters—Rome's slavish crews—
Strengthen their purposes, promote their views ;

Reject two-thirds, and mutilate the rest:

EPITAPH ON AN INFANT.
(Prom" Genius, and other Poems, by William Harper,
just published.)

He who little children blest,
Took thee in his arms to rest ;
Infant, as a starry ray,
Seen a moment, pass 'ti away!

LAUNCH OF AN IRON VESSEL.—An iron schooner, the
"Cayman," of about 60 tons measurement, was launched
yesterday from Mr. John Laird's yard, North Birkenhead.
She belongs to Cottingham Moss, Esq., and is intended, we
understand, for the West Indies. The " Cayman" is the
first iron vessel, we believe, that has been coated with
Wall's patent preparation, for preventing oxidation and
fouling,—and should it be found to answer the purpose, there
is no doubt it will materially extend the application of iron
for shipbuilding and other purposes.
LIVERPOOL FESTIVAL CHORAL SOCIETY.—OH the even-
ing of Tuesday, this excellent society gave its ninth public
performance. The oratorio of Samson was performed, Mr.
Geo. Holden officiated as conductor, Mr. Maybrick presid-
ing at the organ, and Mr. Elliot leading the band. The
principal vocalists were Miss Leach, Miss Stott, and Messrs.
Lunt, Ball, Stott, Earnshaw, Davies, G. Lunt, and An-
drews, all of whom elicited warm tokens of approbation, by
the style in which they gave the several pieces allotted to
them. Of the choristers it is impossible to speak too highly.
They are perfect in all that renders choruses excellent, and
it must be gratifying to those who have encouraged this so-
ciety, as well as to the talented individuals who preside over
its arrangements, to see such a perfection of discipline in
this department. The members of the band performed the
parts allotted to them with much spirit and precision. With
the exception of the trumpet accompaniment, to "Let the
bright seraphim," which was a failure, the entire perform-
ances gave general pleasure to the numerous auditory. The
Music-hall, on this occasion, appeared in an entire new
dress, the interior having been recently much improved by a
coat of paper on the walls, another of whitewash on the ceil-
ing, and sundry slight embellishments, which conduce much
to increase the comfortable aspect of the place. The most
conspicuous additional feature, however, is the organ, which
has been erected at the upper end of the room, surmounting
the orchestra. This, we believe, is the same instrument
that was formerly in the Music-hall, ere that change took
place by which its first proportions were destroyed.
IMPROVED LIFE-BUOY BOAT.—There is now on board
the Mediterranean steam-ship " Oriental" a life-buoy or ra-
ther small boat, on a new and admirable construction, by
Mr. M'Ardle, the principal carpenter of the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam-ship Company. It is nine feet in length and
three in breadth ; and is pointed at both ends, but differs in
the form of the bottom from ordinary boats, the bilges being
so constructed, for additional buoyancy and steadiness in a
sea-way, that the fall down from the keel is of a rounded
shape below the depth of the keel. A midship's section of
the bottom would form two inverted arches or segments of
circles with the keel running between them. Over about
half the depth of the boat is thrown a platform or deck, with
scupper holes at the sides. Under this platform there is a
copper tank occupying the whole cavity and made water-
tight. Above there are also two smaller tanks or air cham-
bers. Life-lines are attached, and two small paddles pro-
vided. There is an iron false-keel, and in whatever manner
the boat be dropped into the water it will rise to the surface
gunwales up, and discharge from the platform any water that
may have been taken in by its submersion. The buoyancy is
such that one man may safely sit in, or two may safely lie
down in it, and be borne dry on the waves, and upwards of a
dozen persons who might be in the water, might hold on by
it and be saved from drowning until assistance was given.
The superiority of this invention to any of the life-buoys we
have seen is quite obvious. It is exceedingly difficult for a
man to hold on any considerable length of time in a sea-way
by any of them, owing to their uneasy motion, and the gene-
ral impossibility of " mounting" upon then so as to obtain
rest. Mr. M'Ardle's life-buoy-boat (for so we shall call it)
supplies this last desideratum, even to two parties. It is
easily let go from the stern of the ship, and as it is of coin
paratively small bulk and light weight, we doubt not it will
become a general appendage in our line and ocean steam-
ships.
A BEAUTIFUL NEW SCHOONER.—There is now lying on
the east side of the King's Dock, a beautiful new jersey-
built clipper schooner, called " The Apparition,"—though
she is in verity no "ghost" of a vessel, being in every point
most " substantial." She is of about 139 tons burthen, was
built by Mr. Clarke of Jersey, and owned by Captain Alex-
ander of that island, who has another vessel of the same size
and model on the stocks at the same place. The model of
" The Apparition" is very beautiful, and the manner in
which she is finished throughout, with every possible im-
provement and adaptation in hull and rigging for a vessel of
her class, has created much admiration amongst practical
men. She made the voyage from Jersey to this port in 52
hours—bringing a cargo of apples, vinegar, and wine. She
is commanded by Captain Gruchy, and is, we learn, about to
proceed to Maracaibo, on the northern coast of South Arne-
rice, whence she will return hither with a valuable cargo.

SACRILEGE.—On Tuesday night the church of St. Luke's,
Cheetham-hill, was forcibly entered by thieves, who took the
lead from one of the windows, and thus made passage for
themselves into the body of the church. Their object evi-
dently was to steal the communion plate, as they attempted
to force open an iron safe in which they supposed it was
kept, but this safe was secured by one of Chubb's patent
locks, which resisted all their efforts, and the only booty
they obtained was a screwdriver and some small keys.---.
Manchester Chronicle.

LIVERPOOL SHIPWRECK AND HUMANE SOCIETY.—The
committee of this society met on Tuesday at the underwriters'
committee-room, and voted various sums to different indi-
viduals instrumental in saving persons from being drowned.
The cutter which fired on the South America packet-ship
on Friday last, off Kinsale, and subsequently brought to the
Limena, a British brig, proves to be one of her majesty's re-
venue cruisers. She sent her boat on board the Limena,
which arrived here on Monday from Nassau, having previ-
ously fired a blank cartridge from a musket only, in conse-
quence of the colours of the Limena not having been ex-
hibited. The cutter, it appears, had her revenue flag and
pennant flying at the time she fired on the South America,
whose colours were not hoisted as they ought to have been.—

CAPTAIN ENGLEDUE.
DEAR SIR,—We, the undersigned passengers on board the
steamer " Great Liverpool," cannot separate at this place
without conveying to you our warmest acknowledgments
for the kindness and attention that has marked your conduct
to us during our 'voyage; and as a further testimony of our
regard, we beg your acceptance of a piece of plate, which we
shall take the earliest opportunity of having presented to
you.—Wishing you every success and happiness,
We remain, dear sir, yours very truly,

. Of Malta, 11th Oct, 1840.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,—I can assure you that it was
with feelings of inexpressible pleasure that I received your
kind and flattering letter this morning, and also your very
handsome present of plate.
It is highly gratifying to me to learn that I have contri-
buted so much to your comforts during the voyage, and I
assure you that it will at all times be my ambition to merit
the same favourable opinion of those passengers who may
for the future honour me with their company.
I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours very sincerely,

4 LARGE DRAUGHT OF FISHES.—Three :thousand bream,
resides a large number of pike and perch, were recently taken

water in Knowsley-park. Lord Stanley, the lion. Capt.
Stanley, and a number of friends, were present on this occa-
sion.

NEW MAGISTRATES.—On Monday last, at the Salford
Hundred Quarter Sessions at the New Bailey, C. J. Derby-
shire, Esq., late mayor of Bolton, and John Harrop, Esq.,
of Ashton-under-Lyne, qualified and took the oaths as ma-
gistrates for the county palatine of Lancaster.
THE PORT OF MANCHESTER !—Under this novel title, for
" the metropolis of manufactures," we announced on Wed-
nesday last, that a vessel had arrived here, direct from Dub-
lin, with a cargo of potatoes, and was discharging at the Old
Quay Company's wharf. We have now to add that this ves-
sel, the Mary, Capt. John Hill, having discharged her cargo,
will, it is expected, " clear " and sail this day for Dublin,
with a cargo of coals from the colliery of Mr. Fitzgerald of
Pendleton. The next freight of the Mary, on her voyage from
Dublin to Manchester, will, we believe, consist of another
article of provisions,—meal; a cargo of which she is to bring
for Messrs. John and Samuel Barratt and Co., corn mer-
chants, of this town. _ Such are probably the small begin-
nings of Mancbester's future greatness, as one of the ports
of the united kingdom.—Manchester Guardian.
THEATRE ROYAL.—The benefits at this theatre are draw-
ing to a close. On Wednesday, Mr. Lynne, in taking his,
selected " The Hunchback" as part of the evening's enter-
tainment—the beneficiaire appearing as Master Walter.
Having seen Mr. Lynne in only second and third rate cha-
racters, we must say that Nye were most agreeably surprised
as well as pleased with his impersonation, of the kind-hearted.
Hunchback. It was graceful and natural, full of true feel-
ing and dignity, and may rank amongst the best Master
Waite 's of the day. The scene in the costly palace of the
Earl of Rochdale with Julia, was admirably done, and by
the earliest attention paid by the audience, it was clear that
the actor's powers were appreciated, as they deserved to be.
Miss Faucit's Julia was very good. " The Amateur" who
performed the part of Sir Thomas Clifford, went through
the part respectably—for an amateur we may say, well. Mr.
Charles Kean appears on Monday.
BITUMEN PAVEMENTS.—The use of bitumen, as a pave-
ment, being now very generally adopted, it is a great deside-
ratum that cheapness as well as quality should be attended
to. From what we have understood, the pavement of. the
Parisian Bitumen Company combines both these essentials ;
and from experiments lately made in London and Birming-
ham, we believe that their bitumen only requires to be known
to be most extensively adopted. In referring to the
tisement, it will be seen that a gentleman connected with the
company is at present in Liverpool, who will, no doubt, be
able to oatisfy all uiquiry.•
