have no right to complain of any difficulty they may have
had in obtaining information. But it is clear that Messrs.
Turner and Mackenzie did not owe their seats to the
corruption and treating which it was said has been so
extensive among the freemen, for they had a majority of
the household constituency, It is clear that Messrs.
Turner and Mackenzie went to Liverpool with no object
to bribe, no object to corrupt. You have not ventured to
mist upon evidence that they have expended money which
might be deemed to be with the knowledge of corrupt
Practices, or which was for corrupt practices. They
went there to vindicate a great political principle in
the representatiOn of one of the largest constituencies
of the kingdom. And if, in the result, the com-
mittee should hold them, by a strict construction of
the law, responsible for the acts of over zealous partizans,
they will have this satisfaction, that the attempt to prove
the existence of extensive corrupt practices at the election
on their part has signally failed, and that they themselves
may leave this inquiry with a political character un-

SOCIETY.

A public meeting was held last night in the Collegiate
Institution, in aid of the funds of the Colonial Church and
School Society.
The meeting was numerously and respectably attended.
Among the gentlemen on the platform we noticed the
Rev. Dr. M'Neile, the Ven. the Archdeacon Davies, of
Melbourne, the Rev. T. R Birks, and the Rev. M. M.
Dillon, the deputation •, also the Recs. W. Rawson, W.

M. C. Jones, J. Eden, &c., &c.
On the motion of the Rv. FIELDING OULD, the Rev.
Dr. M'Neile was unanimously called to the chair.
The meeting having been opened with prayer,
The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting as follows :
My Christian friends, you ere aware that the object of this
meeting is to commend to your favourable consideration,
and thereupon to your cordial and liberal support, the
Colonial Church and School Society. The object of that
society, as stated in their printed prospectus, is " to make
known the Gospel of Christ by sending clergymen, cate-
chists, and schoolmasters to our fellow-subjects in the
colonies and foreign lands. If there be a place in the
United Kingdom, where the Colonial Church Society
might fairly urge a claim, and expect to excite a peculiar
interest, that place is Liverpool. The progress and pros-
perity of our colonies act in a direct and peculiar manner
on the progress and prosperity of our great and growing
town. The trade of Liverpool, now co-extensive with, I
believe I might say more extensive than, that of even
London itself, brings us into immediate connexion with
our colonies, not only by the perpetual passing to and fro
of our ships, but also by the establishment of branch
houses of business, correspondence, and by the resi-
dence at the larger colonial ports of the junior con-
flexions of some of our most extensive and longest
established firms. If England be with propriety
called the mother country with reference to our colonies,
Liverpool may be called the eldest son engaged in the
home busines, while the younger sons are gone all over
the world. It is a very hopeful family altogether, stamp-
ing the impress of its nationality on a large portion of
the globe. (Hear, hear.) In this we glory For this

The CHAIRMAN said the committee, in order to give
them time to consider the evidence, bad determined upon
adjourning till this day at half-past twelve.

HALF-YEARLY EXAMINATION AT THE
CORPORATION SOUTH SCHOOLS.

Yesterday. forenoon the half-yearly examination of the chil-
dren attending the Corporation South Schools took place in
the upper school—room, Park-lane, in the presence of a nume—
rous company of ladies and gentlemen. The Mayor, who had
promised to preside on the occasion, arrived at the schools,
accompanied by his family, shortly !Aire the appointed hour.
Amongst those present we noticed Mr. Alderman Molyneux,
chairman of the school committee, Mr. Councillor Wagstaff,
a member of the committee, the Rev. J. Monk, the Rev. Mr.
nowman, curate of St. Saviour's Church, &c., &e. We were
also glad to see present a large number of the parents of the
children attending the schools.

On arriving at- the schools his Worship proceeded to the
infant school. where the examination of the children was
conducted by the mistress and her assistants.

The children were examined in the Scripture history of the
New Testament, also in 'Geography, including the Trreduetions
of the different countries on the continent of Europe. They
also gave ready and exceedingly correct answers to questions
concerning the people•of the different countries, and what they
were remarkable for. Their examination on the History•of
England was equally satisfactory. The proceedings in the
infant school having been concluded, • •
His Wowanap addressed the little children in encouraging
and affectionate 'terms, and then said, as there weremodoubt
many parents of these children present, he would take the
opportunity of saying a few words to them. In the present
day there were great advantages offered in comparison with
what there were thirty years ago, for the education of the
young; and, 'as parents and mothers, he would wish 'to point
out to them -the great advantages they possessed for having
their children taught. But it was in vain for the masters and
mistresses to pay attention to the education of the children,
if parerits`themselves did nct aid them by their exertions and
the 'example they set at home. They would'remember that,
when 'Moses was taken rut of the river, the daughter of
Pharwili said to the woman, "take this child, and nurse it for
me, and I will give thee thy wages ;" and she took it accord-
ingly"; and he (the Mayor) wished 'to inform Kie mothers pre-
•serit that their duties as mothers did not altogether consist in

'washing the hands of their children, and providing them with
food and with shelter, but that to nurse a' clind as tney ought to
de, was to remember that their children were given to them by
'God, and that they were to teach them and train them in the ways
of God. When we know how much more the training of a child
depended on its mother than on its father, it was the especial
"dtity of mothers to watch over fir it Children. We well know
'that many of the men that adorned 'this country had been in-
debted to the early training of a mother for their position in
life; and it might be the tase'll ith• regard to several of the chil-
dren now receiving their education in these schools, if the
mothers would aid the conductors of the schools, in seCting,an
example to their children at liorne, that when they were old
they might not depart from it. It might be, that by showing
such a regard for their children,'they would be the means-of
so training up their children as-to become not only a blessing
and an honour to themselves' in this world, but would also be
the means of their receiving a crown of jewels hereafter. •Brit
it was often a pain to him to see, that whilst children were
taught in school to keep' the Sabbath-day holy, they found oil
going to their homes that the Sabbath-day was not kept holy.
In manv cases' instead Of good examples being set them, they
found themselves witnesses of intemperance and unthastity
at home. A great responsibility, therefore, rested on parents,
to see that the education their- children received at school
should not be hindered in-its effects at borne. After-some fur-
ther remarks, his worsh437proceeded to the upper schoolroom,
where the general examination of the boys and girls' took Place.
After the children bad gone through various exercises in
Scripture history, descriptive geography, history, and other'
studies, they were examined by the Rev. Mr. Bowman,- curate
of St. Savicrar's*church, and the answers they -gave elicited
much satisfaction, and reflected great credit on the masters.
and mistresses.

The MAYOR then addressed the children, observing that it
was a very pleasant part of his duty as Mayor Of Liverpool to
come to the school, and witness the improvement amongst the
pupils which was so apparent on the present occasion. He had
reason to hope that the improvement would --still. continue.
They must...all of Them be aware of the advantages of a good
education, and of the -privileges they possessed in this respect
to a much greater extent than any oilier countr7 on the face of
the earth. Those privileges, however, carried with them cor-
responding-duties on Their part. His worship then pointed out
the great advantages which an educated person possessed over
one that was uneducated, and next urged the vast importance
of combining a sound religious along with a secular education.
If they imparted tolhe youth of the schools-secillar education
alone, they would 'not be doing that whitili was necessary.

put together. In education they should combine that which
telongedto.eartn,a-ith that which belonged to heaven, and is
imparting secular knowledge, never forget the reverence which
was due to'Gcd. His Worship next referred to three prizes
which he offered last half-year to the pupils who should re
spectively produce the best essay on Holy-Scripture, on bio-
graphy, and on history. The reason he offered the prizes was
for the purpose -of carrying out this principle of combining
spiritual with scalar knowledge. The speaker dwelt for some
time on the-wonderful ability which the three successful com-
petitors; for thesevrizes had displayed, more particularly the
writer of the essay on the Holy Scriptisres.
Andrew Robertson was then called forward to receive the
prize for the best essay on the "inspiration and importance
of the tioly •C.Criptures."
The MAYOR, in awarding the prize, paid' Robertson a well-
deserved compliment. He said that he evidently possessed a
great amount of biblical knowledge, having read well. He
hoped that he-would persevere in the pursuit of knowledge,
and he did net think it unlikely that lie (the Mayor) might
one day seehim a respected minister of the Church of England.
Charles Dorringer was next called forward to receive the
prize for the beet essay on Geography,
The Marron,' in handing him the prize,- said the essay diti
him great credit. He hoped that he would,, pursue the study
of this important branch of education,—not, however, in a
spirit of prides bat in connexion with his other studies.
William Russell was next called to receive the prize for the
best essay on History.
The Mn;-au, addressing Russell, said the essay was unques-
tionably the best which had been presented to him. He was
sorry to confess that the best essays were from the boys. He
should have liked some of them to have come from the girls.
There was, however, one which had been written by one of the
girls named Mary 'Botham, which was so-corret-Aly written that
lie (the Mayor) had deemed it right to add a fourth prize.
The girl Mary Botham was then broughtforWard, and received
the prize. rom' his 'Worship.
Mr. Alderman. PINLY NEUX, chairman of the school, proposed
a vote of thanks to the Mayor, for his attendance to take part
in the proceedings, as also for the encouragement his worship
had given to tltc.priiils by offering the prizes.
Mr. Councillor W.I.s.:STAFF seconded the •mction, which was
passed amidst loud cheering.
The Mavoa•having returned thanks, the proceedings were
brought to a close.by the singing of the natioaal.acthein.
We unde,standthat the number of children at present in the
schools is 450 boys; 30e girls, and 280 in the infant school.

authentic case of restoration of the human hair is worthy
of observation. more particulark- as it relates to an article
of high and universal repute during the last half century.
Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen-street, Soho, had been quite
bald for some time past, and had tried various preparations
for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial
result. He was then induced to try the effects of
" Rowlands' Macassar Oil," and, after daily applying it
for about two months, he, much to his gratification, had
his hair quite restored, and now possesses a beautiful head
of hair. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require
comment.—Bell's Weekly Messenger.

PAESENTATIGN us COLOURS AT LIVERPOOL.—THE
ROYAL LANCASHIRE MILITIA.—On Friday, in the pre-
sence of a vast assemblage gathered in the fields opposite
St. Domingo Honse, Everton, a grand military fete took
place. On the ground there were, in addition to Sir T.
G. Ilesketh, lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, and his
officers, Colonel Derinzy, the official inspector, Colonel
wardlaw, Captain Swan, and other members of the
military profession. Almost all the men of the 2nd regi-
ment of the Royal Lancashire Militia, in number about
1,200, were present. They looked greatly improved by
their recent drills, and throughout the day conducted
themselves in a manner which called forth universal
admiration from the spectators. Lady Arabella Hesketh,
attended by the Rev. John Conor, chaplain to the garri-
son, took their stand opposite a drum, across which the
colours were placed in their covers. The rev, gentleman
then formally consecrated the colours, and delivered a
prayer. Mr. Preston, the senior ensign, and Mr. Pil
kington, the junior ensign, attended by three sergeants,
were then called. The ensigns knelt opposite Lady
Hesketh, who gracefully presented the Queen's colour to
the former gentleman, and ;he regimental colour to the
'atter. In delivering them she said :—" I give these
