:;d expressed his belief
s acquirement and dif-
few impracticable

save by

fanatics, as hostile to Christianity, or obnoxious to its
genius and spirit. Speaking of the wondrous works of
the Creator, and showing how the investigations of science
enabled us to trace more clearly in all things above us,
around us, beneath us, the work of an Almighty hand—
Mr. Wills went on to say, that the more their hidden
uses were revealed and their secret properties discovered,
the more striking would they display the gooodness,
wisdom and power of God, the more loudly would they
proclaim that none but an Allwise and Almighty Being
could speak that " Word of Power" by which all things
were created and are continually upheld, could frame
that perfect law by which every particle of matter was
governed and every grade of existence regulated, could
adjust the unerring balance which weighed with equal
accuracy a grain of sand and a chain of Alps,—a dew-drop
that glittered on a rose-bud, and the great waters of the
mighty deep—a mote that danced in the sunbeam and the
glorious orb of light itself. Mr. Wills maintained that to
man in his fallen estate, placed in the midst of a world
where evil not only existed but predominated, the know-
ledge of the evil was requisite as well as the knowledge of
the good, and describing the perfect law of liberty
established by the gospel, as the Magna Charta of
Christian freedom, he exclaimed—in virtue of this new
and perfect law, the Christian philosopher may boldly
climb the steepest hills of science, may fearlessly thread
the most intricate mazes of the pleasant groves of know-
ledge, culling the lovely flowers that grow beneath his
feet, and eating the delicious fruits of the fair trees that
are planted there, " asking no questions for conscience
sake."

The lecturer, referring to the prediction that " in the
latter days many should go to and fro and knowledge be
increased," showed how remarkably the former part of it
had been fulfilled in the facilities for internal and external
communication afforded by steam boats and railways,
which had created amongst the community at large a kind
of locomotive habit, equally conducive to the health,
morals, and mental improvement of the masses. With
regard to the latter part of the prediction, the present was
preeminently an age of increasing knowledge, of mar-
vellous and almost miraculous inventions—an age ia
which scientific discoveries were pushed far beyond all
former precedent. We had caught, and tamed, and har-
nessed the " fiery bird of heaven ;" the winged lightnings
were our messengers,—the materiel of the thunderbolt
moved in obedience to our will, so that though hundreds
of miles asunder, though even an ocean rolled between,
we could nnw. by the wonder-vvorkinc, wirr•g of thP BLortrir
telegraph, communicate our thoughts to each other with
the rapidity of thought itself. The electric light, and the
chemical knowledge of the present, as being greatly in
advance of that of all preceding ages, were briefly referred
to. The rapid progress of knowledge during the last half
century being thus reviewed, who—demanded the lecturer
—who shall roll back its everflowing tide, or, say to the
yes of intellect " thus far and no further

shall ye come. As well attempt to recall our yesterdays
from the irrecoverable past, or drive back the moments as
they come trooping on, as endeavour to dam up the
mighty stream of knowledge, and convert into a stagnant
pool its living waters, continually increasing as they are
in volume and in strength, and bearing down in their irre-
sistible and majestic progress all the unavailing opposi-
tions of ignorance, selfishness, prejudice and pride.
Knowledge was increasing, was multiplying its power
and extending its triumphs. Those engaged in its diffu-
sion were called upon and encouraged to go forward in
their path of bloodless glory. Association for educational
purposes was " the sling," and useful knowledge " the
smooth stone" wherewith they might slay the presumptu-
ous Goliath of ignorance. Freedom was alike incompa-
tible with the decrease of knowledge, or its perversion by
a false system of philosophy. Knowledge increased, and
was cultivated by the wise and the good, and ennobled
and hallowed by the sanctifying influences of religion in
our own country, therefore " a double portion" of this
mighty spirit of freedom rested upon her children, nerv-
ing the arms of her valiant sons " the blessings they en-
joy to guard," and imparting a charm beyond the fabled
power of magic to the peerless beauty of her lovely daugh-
ters. Englishmen were justly proud of their fatherland,
for it was the home of the free, the sanctuary of the op-
pressed ;—around it liberty had drawn her mystic circle,
—within it she had reared herfortress temple,—from it
she had sent forth into all the world her heart-rejoicing
spirit-stirring voice, proclaiming that the days of des-
potism, of ignorance, of slavery were numbered, and
teaching " to all nations and peoples and tongues," to
men of every clime and of every hue, that the same blood
circulated in all their veins, that the same God was equally
the Father, and the same loving Redeemer equally the
Friend, the Brother, the Savioer of them all.
The angel of liberty sounded forth from us those trum-
pet tones that were shaking the foundations of despotism
in every land, because the principles of freedom were bet-
ter understood, and the sacrifices of all selfish interests,
which freedom so often required from her votaries, were
more cheerfully made in this than in any other country
on the face of the earth.

Here the lecturer alluded to the despotic governments
of Europe, and to the existence of slavery in America,
and referring to Mrs. Stowe's very popular work of
" Uncle Tom's Cabin," showed that the increase of
knowledge, especially our recently-extended knowledge of
the horrors of slavery, even where it was said to exist in
its mildest form, must inevitably precipitate its downfall,
and concluded this part of his subject by predicting that
the time was rapidly approaching when the hell-tinted dye
_ _

•
of slavery should be washed for ever from the brow of
England's trans Alantic daughter—when the black brother
of the white tyrant should make good his claim to the
possession of unrestricted freedom, and, once for all, shake
the fetters from his enfranchised limbs—once for all break
the bonds of his ruthless oppressors, and go forth from
the house of his bondage in the proud consciousness of
unshackled freedom. Thus should be accomplished one
of the most glorious of the many glorious triumphs of
knowledge.
The lecture was terminated by a description of the
exhaustless mines of knowledge from which generations
yet unborn should continue to draw those supplies of in-
tellectual wealth that were necessary to the health and
well-being of our intellectual existence, as the supply of
our daily food to the health and well-being of our bodily
frame.
After some vocal music by the members of the Liverpool
Philharmonic Society, Mr. Richard Manson delivered a
short lecture on " Fossil Geology," illustrated by a pano-
ramic chart of extinct animals, &c.
Mr. MAysoN first dwelt slightly on the remarkable
progress of science during the last seventy or eighty
years, ascribing it to some special agency in the scheme
of divine Providence, and then proceeded to explain the
interesting and important knowledge to he derived from
geological studies. The formation of the fossiliferous
rocks and the true nature of organic remains were the
next branches treated of; and in mentioning that fossils
afforded the earliest evidences of creation, the lecturer
expressed an opinion that divine revelation would not be
given to teach man physical science, and that the work of
creation seemed to have ended with the production of
man; for since that time no new forms of life had been
produced. Mr. Manson then divided the past ages of
our world's history into epochs, distinguished by the na-
ture of the animals which existed during their continuance;
and by means of a large panoramic chart, which was
really an ornamental appendage of no mean value,
brought before his audience representations of the prin-
cipal reptiles, plants, &c. of our antehominal world.
While noticing the period of the new red sandstone, a
graphic description of the probable appearance of Store-
ton, when the Labyrinthodon existed on earth, was intro-
duced, and at the conclusion of the lecture Mr. Manson
speculated on the classification of future geologists, when
the bed of existing oceans may form the dry land, and all
our now continents be submerged ; and whether the savans
of those days would not argue a regular progression in
our knowledge from the time when the frail coracle of
the ancient Briton trembled on the wave, to the period
when mighty steamers ploughed their onward course
through rough or calm.
The company then adjourned for refreshments, which
were laid in adjoining rooms, in one of which were tea,
coffee, &c., and in another sandwiches, tarts, jellies,
cakes, blancmange, fruit, &c., excellent in quality and
liberal in quantity. During this time the company not
actually occupied in the supper-rooms promenaded to the
music of the harp, and many took the opportunity of
examining the select specimens of rare animals introduced
by Mr. Leyland, who has explored the interior of Africa
to the great Lake " Ngamie," five hundred miles further
than any white man had previously penetrated. We need
hardly mention that the magnificent microscopes of Drs.
Inman, Byerly, and Higgins, and of Messrs. Abraham
and Edwards, were objects of general interest. Dr.
Edwards entertained the company with some brilliant
galvanic experiments, and Mr. Brockhole's beautiful and
very extensive collection of British Lepidoptera afforded
much gratification.

erval, the Chairman

led upon—

Mr. Jonssos, who commenced his lecture by alluding
to the account given in Genesis of the history of the
creation, " That in the beginning God created the heavens

and the earth, and the earth was without form and void,"
and stated his conviction that science agreed with it. But
on endeavouring to form an estimate of the probable dis-
tance of time at which such an event might be supposed
to have occurred, he suggested that other parts of the
Word should be searched for an:explanation of the expres-
sion, in the beginning. Upon adopting this course it
would be found that when such was used in the inspired

ragings of the most fearful tempest ; yet that the opera-
tion was incessantly going on around wherever the green
leaf appeared, and though difficult, nay impossible, as the
operation was to man when unaided by the vegetable
kingdom, yet that the lowliest flower—the simple daisy on
the ground—quietly disposed of considerable amounts !
In conclusion, Mr. Johnson observed that nothing ex-
isted on the earth that had not especial reference to man's
welfare and development. For what other purpose could
they have been created ? Of what use would it be that
the earth contained inexhaustible stores of mineral wealth,
if they could not be eliminated ? If matter was the re-
sult of spiritual agency, which no one would deny, and
if effects always corresponded with causes, then the very
elements would be representatives of the principles pro-
ducing them ; and why then might not man understand
the details of the spiritual world by the knowledge re-
vealed in the great book of nature ? That indeed for this
very purpose came man into the world, that he might be
instructed in mental principles by first becoming endowed
with the possession of natural truths ; and that the sci-
entific knowledge attained in the present life, so far from
being thrown away, would in reality constitute the A B C
of a long literary career, which should only end with
the limits of eternity.
Messrs. Wills, Manson, and Johnson were loudly
cheered at the termination of their respective lectures,
and the interval between the lectures was enlivened by
vocal and instrumental music, under the management of
Mr. Molyneux, the entire company joining in the
National Anthem at the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's
lecture. _ _ _

The proceedings of the evening were closed by a ball,
when about one hundred couple joined in the graceful
dance, under the able superintendence of J. Hughes,
Esq., master of the ceremonies. The brilliancy of the
scene presented at this period excited the admiration of
all, and exceeded the warmest anticipations of the pro-
moters of the entertainment.

LOTTERY- SEIOPS.—A respectably-attired man, named
James Cranmer Partridge, was brought up at the Police-
court, on Thursday last, on a charge of robbing a young
female, named Jane Barton, of 12s. 10d., in the shop of
a person named Jackson, a glass dealer, and who also
keeps one of those bazaars, which have lately become
very numerous in the town, where persons are induced to
speculate a shilling in the " wheel of fortune," or a
species of lottery,. with the chance of obtaining any
article exposed to view. The shop in question is in
Paradise-street, and on Wednesday night the prosecutrix
(a simple-looking girl) was allured into the shop, and in-
duced to try her luck at the " wheel." The prisoner
in. t th. .ne
FroVi:T?iorelehoeftaliToir which she held in her hand. She
then began to cry, and on putting her hand into her
pocket for her handkerchief she discovered that she had
been robbed. The prisoner left the shop, and went into
a public-house in the neighbourhood, where he was ap-
prehended by a police-officer.—Henry Gotton, glass-
dealer, in Cleveland-square, and another witness spoke
as to the respectability of the prisoner.— ?Ir. J. H.
Turner, the magistrate, remarked that it was the duty of
the police to look after those lottery places. The police-
officer who had the prisoner in charge replied that rob-
beries in those places were of frequent occurrence. The
magistrate ordered the prisoner to pay ls. 6d. for the
bottle he had broken, and costs, and then to be discharged.
M. TALLEYRAND was enjoying his rubber, when the
conversation turned on a recent marriage of an elderly
lady of respectable rank. " However could Madame de
S— make such a match? A person of her birth to
marry a valet de chambre ."' " Ah," replied Talley-
rand, "it was late in the game ; at nine we don't count
honours."

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—There has been a steady demand of mode-
rate extent from the home consumers of yarns, particularly of
the medium counts, and also from the continental buyers of
warps and pincops from 24's upwards. These spinnings are
consequently rather higher ; in the course of a fortnight they
have gained about id. per lb. Warps and weft for domestics
continue perfectly firm, the latter rather hardening. The con-
tracts in hand for China have caused 16's to 24's reeled water
twist to be fully as dear as it was a week ago ; and we have
some renewal of demand, with a slight further tendency in
prices to advance. The production of 40's and 50's mule yarns,
of India quality, is pre-engaged. In the department of goods,
we find that the dealers are laying their hands on the cheaper
lots of domestics of such qualities (in particular) as are suitable
for the Canadian buyers, several of whom arrived by the last
steamer. The better qualities, which they purchase in the
United States, have been there raised in price. There has not
been so much demand for China shirtings as for the light er
descriptions adapted to the markets of India ; all kinds, how-
ever, are well engaged ; and the telegraphic announcement of
the overland mail is again occasioning rather more inquiry.
Longcloths, T's, and jacconets of low and medium qualities,
are in fair request. We have still to report well of 7-S printing
cloths, especially in 52 to 64 reeds.
Rocit DALE.—Fine flannels and dyed goods have been more
inquired after, but the manufacturers found it difficult to ob-
tain an advance in prices equal to that which has taken place
in the raw material. There was a good demand for middle
qualities and strong Yorkshire domestics, at previous prices.
The stocks of goods in the warehouses are lower. Rather more
business done in the wool markot prices firm.
tr.,— T.. 1-t• ',erg Inn+ /here
had scarcely been so much business done as in the preceding
week, but the woollen trade is in all respects as buoyant. The
clothiers throughout the district are well employed. The only
complaint made is, that the prices obtainable are too low,
considering the increased cost of the raw materials and of the
rate of wages paid to the operatives. There has been some

advance in the priCe of most kinds of cloth during the last
three weeks ; the increase is firmly maintained.
NOTTINGIIAM.—The lace trade is improving a little, and

there is every reason to expect a further increase in demand
shortly, as the business to the colonies for both lace and hosiery
seems to require a considerably extended supply ; the home
trade for each of these articles is improving. The price of

yarn is unchanged

LIVERPOOL CORN

MARKET,

FRIDAY, JANUARY 28

Our Wheat market has ruled exceedingly dull to-day, the
sales for consumption being confined almost exclusively to
local and neighbouring millers, very little being taken for Irish
account, and no disposition apparent to purchase for holding
over, notwithstanding a concession of fully Id. per bushel from
the currency of Tuesday. Flour was equally slow to move,
and must be noted 6d. per barrel and Is. per sack cheaper.
Oats met a moderate inquiry at previous rates, and Oatmeal
sold rather more freely at 3d. decline. Egyptian Beans were
saleable only in retail at 6d. reduction. Indian Corn on the
spot nominally rather cheaper ; there are no additional arrivals
off the coast, and no farther sales reported to-day ; Galatz,
arrived in good condition, would find buyers at a proportionate
value with Ibraila, disposed of yesterday at 31s. 2d. c. f. and i.

writings nothing less than eternity was intended. This
method of interpretation reconciled the account given
with the revelations of science, and also threw a light upon
the method of acertaining the true meaning of the suc-
ceeding verses, which, Mr. Johnson maintained, could not
be successfully effected by natural philosophers, as had
been too often attempted. Astronomy had thrown out
the idea which chemical investigation has since supported,
that originally the whole of the stars had existed as
nebulm or matter in an intensely heated or vaporiform con-
dition ; that in the course of time this had become
cooled—condensed to a liquid of a globular form,
and by a continuation of the process a crust had been
formed upon the surface, to be eventually deluged with
continued rains. That, subsequently, portions of this
crust would be forced up from below by the instrumentality
of igneous causes, as in the present day, and thus would
be fulfilled the injunction " Let the dry land appear."
Mr. Johnson then took a rapid view of the changes and
appearances whic'i might be supposed to have followed
this period, and dwelt at considerable length upon the
circumstances attending the formation of the coal, the
lime, and the iron strata, and showed how everything had
been designed by the Creator for the best interests of that
creation, which was still "looming in the future," and
preparations for whose advent were all this while steadily
going on around ;—how the time was anticipated when
man would require not only the corn, and the wine,
and the oil of Egypt, but when steam should have
exerted her giant powers, and rendered time the sole
measurer of distance, and when thought should travel
round the earth with the rapidity of the sunbeam. He
spoke of the existence of poisonous gases in the original
atmosphere, and of their gradual removal—of the part
which plants bad played in this consummation, and of the
powers with which they must be endowed in order to
effect the decomposition of carbonic acid, and of water ;
that science itself started back in amazement when in-
formed by the researches of a Faraday that in the decom-
position of one single grain of water as much electricity
was put into circulation a would be developed in the wild

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY. JANUARY 28

At steady prices Beef has moved freely this week ; the late
arrivals are now nearly cleared off. A further advance of is.
to 2s. per barrel must be quoted in Pork; shippers in Ireland
demand still higher rates, and talk of 90s. to 955. per barrel,
the supply of hogs having fallen so short. Holders of Lard
have reduced their prices 6d. to is. per cwt., without leading to
much business. The sales for the week barely reach 20 tons.
The demand for Cheese is moderately active, and fine qualities
bring extreme rates.

MONDAY, JANUARY 31

In the early part of the past week the transactions in But ter
were to a large amount, at extreme rates, and in some in-
stances an advance of is to 2s per cwt. was obtained; but to-
wards the close the market became quiet, and holders appeared
more inclined to be going on in sales. We, however, make no
change in quotations. Imports from Ireland from the 24th to
the 29th instant, both inclusive, 4314 firkins, 36 kegs, 667
crocks, 253 boxes, 239 brrrels Butter, 171 bales Bacon, 18 hhds
hams, 8 tierces, 57 firkins, and 428 kegs lard.
