TIIE SAFETY CABRIOLET AND TWO WHEEL
CARRIAGE COMPANY.

TB Company has been formed for the purpose of intro-
ducing to the Public a 5.1'11 LET CAI 3 of an entirely
new construction, which dispenses with the axle going through
from side to side, and in consequence admits the' use of wheels
of any diameter, and allows the body to be placed at any dis-
tance, however small, from the ground,"44l/thus bringing the
centre of gravity of the Carriage below the centre of the wheels.
This new Carriage insures absolute safety and comfort to the
Passengers, great relief to the Horse, either in ascending or
descending hills, and considerable reduction of draught in all
circumstances. This new construction is protected by a Patent,
and this circumstance, and the great superiority of the new
Cab over the present Cabs, will insure such custom to the new
Cabs, that an investment in this Company cannot fail to be
very profitable.
Capital, £lOO,OOO, in 5000 Shares of £2O each.
Deposit, £2 per Share.
Two-fifths of the Shares are taken by tho Patentees friends,
and the remaining Shares will be allotted immediately by the
Directors.

ter-square, where Prospectuses and any further information
may be obtained from Mr. JOHN CHAPMAN, tho Secretary to
the Company.

A SABBATH MORNING IN IRELAND.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE LIVERPOOL ST.IND4RD.

St as—As every thing relating to Ireland at the present time
must be generally interesting, allow me to furnish you with an
extract from a little journal that I kept of my proceedings whilst
there a very abort time ago.—Yours, Ste. 1).
"B----, Sunday, 24tk January, 183;;.—Called upon my friend
the Rev. Mr. Wl—, and accompanied him to N in a
car seat for him by the Rev. Mr. K.—, at whose church he
was to do duty that day. This gentleman is the rector of that
place, but is unable, through illness, to do duty at present. I
was much pleased with the ride. The morning for the season
was very mild. Our road lay through a winding ascent, and I
was highly delighted with the prospect. At our feet lay the
sea-port town of B— wrapt in the stillness and silence of the
Sabbath. At the opposite side stood a ridge of i ' verged by
v
a beautiful outline, looking like a barrier rail y nature to
t.
shut out the town from the noise of the rest of t orld, whilst
almost upon a level with itself was spread out in winding form
the picturesque loch of 13 . Close to the quay, and scattered
at intervals, were riding safely at anchor many a huge ship,
some of which had traversed all parts of the globe. How dif-
ferent was this scene only twelve hours ago! Then ' towed
about like a drunken man,' and scarcely was the strongest cable
equal to keep them drifting out to sea or running en shore ; in
one of which was I at once a spectator and victim of the tem-
pest; whilst fallen chimneys and tattered roofs gave evidence
in the town of the ruthless storm. What an emblem of life !
At one time we are the sport of every strife and commotion,
whilst at another, at the voice of Him who rehuketh the raging
of the sea, the sunshine of prosperity brightens upon us, and our
hearts are made glad.
" We called at the rectory on our way to the church to take
up in our car the lady of this good man, the very path to which
seemed to us emblematic of the condition of its possessor. The
trees and shrubs are leafless now, but it will be only for a while.
The spring time and summer will come, when their apparent
barrenness and desolation will give place to verdure and fruit-
fulness. Now, it is true, their owner is by sickness humiliated
and laid low; but ' this sickness, which is not unto death,' shall
be succeeded by that happy state in which there shall be neither
'sickness nor sorrow.'
" On our road to the church we passed by little groups of the
peasantry who were wending their way to the house of prayer,
and who gave the lady a recognition which bespoke nut only
great respect, but a deep sympathy in her sufferings. There
was something about this lady which pleased me much, though
she is the mother of mite children, the eldest of which is not
more than twelve years of age, which in all human probability
will soou be fatherless. She appeared not to be weighed down
with her sorrow, but to bear up with a fortitude not common to
our nature. and which seemed to spring from something above
it. Doubtless it was derived from that book in which it is wt it-
ten, ' Once I was young, but now I am old; yet never saw I
the righteous perish, nor his seed begging bread.'
"There is a peculiarity about a church-yard in Ireland which
strikes a stranger. There is generally a number of large tombs,
many of the dimensions of a moderate-sized cottage, erected
with brick, and surmounted with stone pinaclos, and which
entitles them strictly to the name of 'houses of the dead.' After
sauntering amongst these mausoleums, I entered the church,
and was ushered into the pew, where was seated this 'mother
in Israel' surrounded by her sweet little ones. They were
plainly and neatly dressed, and I never before saw united in so
large a family so much apparent intelligence and health.
" The church was tolerably well filled, though the majority of
the parish are of another religious community. Doubtless there
was not there many who conscientiously were attached to another
form of faith, and there were not there many who belong,to none;
many who occupy themselves in agitating the quiet of the place
__many who spend their time and their money in the sckebeen-
house*, attributing that misery that their own idleness brings
upon them to tithes and taxes. I noticed few came in after the
service had commenced, and during which I observed a deep
and serious attention that would shame the congregations of
some of our churches in England, especially in the towns.
Whether this was their general conduct, or whether it was
caused in some measure by the absence of their pastor under
existing painful eactimsnsuces. Ido not know. Never before
did I join any.christitin assembly so heartily in that beautiful
prayer in the litany—' for all sick persons and young children.'
During prayer all knelt, which is not the case generally with
us. Indeed in our modern. built churches the pews are su con-
structed that it is impossible for the greater part to do so. The
prayers were read very impressively by my friend, and were
followed by an excellent practical sermon extemporary, in which
the leading doctrines of the gospel bore a prominent part.
" There being no poor laws in Ireland, a collection is made
in time churches at the conclusion of the service; and though in
this instance perhaps not one present, nor any protestant in the
parish, were recipients, yet the bulk of the sums spent were
raised in this church. Such a fact as this never reaches the
pages of those numerous liberal publicatious which are now in-
dustriously circulated with the view of prejudicing the public
mind against the ehurch establishment in Ireland.
" At the conclusion of the service the major part of' the con-
gregation, which principally consisted of respectable yeomen,
headed by the (as we should call him in England) squire, Sir
R— B---, flocked round the wife of the minister, anxiously
inquiring after the health of their beloved pastor; and never
shall I forget the deep interest that seemed to sit upon every
countenance as they listened to the reply. Alas! they never
more will meet their pastor in that place; no, they never more
will meet him until they meet him at the bar of God!
" It was my happiness to be introduced to this holy man.
His perfect resignation, at the same time his hopeless anxiety
to be again among his people, and his tender expression of
thanks to my friend for corning out to assist him made a great
impression upon me.
" Whether the conspiracy against tithes has not wet jreached
this part of Ireland, or whether the influence of the virtues of
the clergyman at this place is superior to the influence of popish
priests, 1 do not know;
tithes is not resisted here.
" is this the institution which the liberal, of the day, in which
I am sorry to say even some of his Majesty's ministers join, call
' a foul excrescence," an abominable nuisance,' and many
other equally bad names? This may be the language of liberals,
(falsely so called,) but surely it is not the language of the Chris-
tian philanthropist."
[Those little matters connected with the service necessary to
be attended to by sonic person in a country congregation were
not overlooked. The minister's lady, in the absence of her
husband, took the care of them upon herself, and her attention
to these and other matters claim for this excellent lady a name
which, in order to express, I am obliged to coin a word—
pastoress.l
