chancel is also laid with encaustic tiles, and the ceilin,,
painted blue, with en illumination of stars in gold. Seats
for the choir are ranged on each side of the chancel. The
chancel window, which is three bayed, is at present filled
with ground white glass, which, however, will, in about a

month, be supplanted by stained glass. The other win-
dows of the church are of " cathedral" glass, which is
of a deep green tinge, and which serves to diffuse a " dim
religious light" throughout the building. The pulpit,
which is of Bath stone, is in front of one side of the
chancel, and on the other is the reading-desk, open en-
tirely in front, and supported on arches and turned
shafts. The church will be lighted by brass gas standards,
of very beautiful design, and the essentials of warming and
ventilation have been duly attended to. The tower is pierced
on three sides for a clock ; and in the grounds near the
tower doorway is a litch-gate, a piece of antiquity which
even is yet found to have its uses.

The b-uilders are Messrs. Arthur and George Holme.

1 THE MUSICAL CASKET, containing two songs, a schot
tishe, and a polka, has just been published by Mr. Beswick
of Berry-street. It is composed by Mr. Wray, the organist
of the Blind Institution, and is dedicated to the Countess
of Sefton. We have not time this week to notice its
peculiar merits.
Tun NE w CUSTOMS DUTIES Acr reached Liverpool
yesterday, and, of course, annuls all the guarantees that
have been given since the first of June last for the reduced
rates on many articles, and the exemption of various
others. It is also signified that daguerreotype productions
are to be exempted from duty as wellas pictures.
A PASSENGER who was on board the steamer Neptune,
recently wrecked on the voyage from St. Petersburg to
London, writes to the Times, testifying to the exertions
and coolness of Captain Brownless, the commander of the
unfortunate vessel, and states that " a testimonial, ex-
pressing the highest praise of Captain Browsiless, for his
indefatigable exertions for the comfort of his passengers
mid to save the ship, and exonerating him from all blame,
was cheerfully and readily signed by every passenger."
BRUTALITY TO WIVES.—The first local case under the
new Aggravated Assault Bill, came before the magistrates
at Kirkdale, on Friday, when James Kershaw, of Aintree,
was charged with a most brutal assault upon his wife.
The case was proved by Mr. Barnes, who was on a bridge
near Aintree; and a surgeon spoke to the nature of the
injuries. The defendant was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment, and held in his own recognizance to keep
the peace for six months after that period.
THE MARCO POLO.—This renowned clipper-ship
arrived on the 29th of May from Liverpool, having made
the passage from that port to Hobson's Bay in 76 days ;
another laurel to her already well-earned crown, under the
able command of Captain korbes. She has on board 750
passengers, amongst whom not a single case of sickness
has occurred ; something unparalleled when so large a
number of people are in so close contact. On the 24th of
April the Marco Polo passed and spoke the ship John
Fielden, from Liverpool, bound to Moreton Bay,. 45 days
out ; on the 26th nit. passed and spoke the ship Eagle,
from Rio Janeiro, bound here ; and a few days after, the
Erasmus, from London, likewise for this port. The Marco
Polo has no cargo on board,. but about £200,000 in specie
for the banks, and £50,000 for private hands. We might
remark that the passage of this fine ship would have been
shorter, but from let. 5 deg. N. to 3 deg. S. 12 days were
occupied, or nearly becalmed.—Melbourne Argus.
THE NEW Music HALL, built on the site of the old
music-hall, Bold-street, and which has been let to Mr. F
Hime, of Church-street, is from the designs of Mr. Arthr
Holme, and is in the Italian style of architecture. Ti
