The Rev. HUGH WNEILE proceeded to supplicate the
divine blessing as follows :—Almighty God, of whose only
gift it cometh that thy faithful people do, or can do unto thee
any laudable service, we are unworthy, through our manifold
sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice ; yet we beseech thee
mercifully to accept this, the free will offering of our hearts
and hands, not weighing our merits.but pardoningour offences,
through Jesus Christ, our. Lord. 0 Lord God, without whom
not a sparrow can fall to the ground, and who has numbered
even the hairs of the head of all thy faithful people, merci-
fully extend thy preserving care over all who will be engaged
in the building of 'this house. Let no hurt, no fracture, no
bruise, no calamity, no disaster of any kind, befall any of
the workmen engaged in this building ; but prosper thou in
all things the work of their, hands : and as thou hast given
us to-day to lay with joy and gladness the foundation of this
house, grant us in due time to see it finished with joy and
consecrated with thanksgiving unto thy holy service. 0
Lord God, when any of thy people shall have sinned
against thee, and shall assemble in this house, and shall cry
to thee, and confess their sins, and say, " We have offended
against thy holy laws : God be merciful to us, miserable sin-
ners,"—hear that from heaven, thy dwelling-place; and
when thou hearest, forgive! 0 Lord God, when any of thy
people, sensible of their exposure to the evils, the tempta-
tions to the dangers of a fallen world, shall assemble in
this house, nod cry to thee, and say, " From all evil and
mischief, from sin, from the crafts and assaults of the
devil, from thy wrath and from everlasting damnation, good
Lord deliver us,"—hear, in Heaven, thy dwelling place, and
when thou hearest, protect ! 0 Lord God ! when any of thy
people shall feel sensible of their wants, and of the wants of
all their fellow-countrymen, of all ranks and degrees in life,
and shall assemble hi this house, and shall cry to thee, for
their Sovereign, and all in authority under her—for the
bishops, priests, and deacons of thy Holy Church—
for the magistrates, that they may maintain truth and
execute justice, hear in heaven Thy dwelling-place, and when
thou hearest, bestow! 0 Lord God, when any of thy peo-
ple, trusting to thy gracious promise, and coming to the ordi-
nances of thy holy church, shall bring their children to this
house to be baptised in thefuame of th Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost ; and when they assemble themselves in this
house, to eat of that bread and drink of that cup, which Jesus
Christ has commanded to be received, and when they shall cry
to thee for faith, not to doubt but earnestly believe that
God favourably alloweth their charitable works, and shall
plead thy promise, 0 hear in heaven, thy dwelling place ; and
when thou hearest, make those ordinances channels of
mercy, grace, peace, purity, and love, for Jesus Christ's
sake ! 0 Lord God, who hast in thy wisdom appointed, by
the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe, send
in thy good providence for this house a preacher, and a suc-
cession of preachers, men of God who love thy truth,
and who have overcome this wicked world, men who
know and feel that by the deeds of the law no flesh
living can be justified, and who will proclaim, from the heart,
Jesus Christ the end of the law for righteousness to every
one that believes, men filled with the Holy Ghost and with
power, men dead to the temptations of the world around,
and living unto God in private from house to house, and in
the public congregation glorifying Him who died and
rose again that we might live for ever ! 0 Lord God, who
out of the mouths of babes and sucklings does perfect praise,
when any of thy people shall assemble in this house to glorify
thy holy name, and shall say, " We praise, and we bless and
we glorify, and we give thanks to thee for thy great glory,
O Lord God, heavenly King, God and Father Almighty, 0
Lord Christ, the Lamb of God thattaketh away the sins of the
world, thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only 0
Christ with the I loly Ghost art most high in the glory of God the
Father," then, Lord, hear in heaven thy dwelling-place—and
when thou hearest accept our praises and thanksgiving. Pre-
pare in this house many hearts to bless thee; mercifully awaken
many consciences ; mercifully inflict many salutary pangs of
godly sorrow ; mercifully communicate faith in thy dear Son ;
mercifully guide them in the paths of holiness and peace ;
mercifully prepare multitudes who shall worship here, to
join that sacred throng who at Christ's feet shall fall, and
raise the everlasting song, that crowns him Lord of All !
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, bless this work, be-
gun, continued, and ended in thee; and bless all its conse-
quences to our comfort and to thy glory, for Jesus Christ
his sake. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer was then repeated, after which the
Doxology was sang, and the assembly dispersed.

The church of St. Silas will be a handsome structure, and
a decided ornament to Pembroke-place. It will he built after
the Gothic style, with a tower and spire fronting the street.
The length in the interior will be 87 feet 2 inches, and the
breadth 47 feet ; and it is expected to be covered in before
winter. The architect is Mr. Clayton, of Ormskirk, and
the builders are Messrs. Miller and Blackie.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tms DAY.
With the exception of a moderate quantity of Oats. Beans,
and Oatmeal from lieland, and of Malt coastwise, very little
English or Irish produce has arrived here since the 24th alt, :
from the foreign ports of Europe, however, we have a tole-
rably good supply of Wheat, with a few parcels of Barley ;
and from the American States a liberal importation of Flour,
upon which a very small portion of duty has yet been paid.
During part of the week before last the weather here was
dry and cold, which for a few days gave a check to vegeta-
tion ; but, succeeded by frequent showers and a warm tem-
perature since, the crops in all directions around us appear
most luxuriant. Our market, nevertheless, was tolerably
well attended this morning by town and country buyers
and at the reduced rates of Friday good Baltic Wheats
met a fair steady demand, whilst the general runs of Medi-
terranean experienced a further depression, and must be
noted 3d. per 'Nibs. below the currency of Tuesday last :
at the same time, Irish Wheats continued to meet inquiry
for reshipment, and these descriptions realising higher prices,
we increase our quotations accordingly ; but in those of
English we make no alteration.

In British Flour we have no change to note. American
free, although not a lively sale, was in moderate request, at
the decline above stated; and bonded Flour, of which 8000
to 10,000 barrels have been sold since this day week, is stilt
mostly held at 255.

The prices of foreign Barley having declined to 3s. 9d. to
4s. Gd. per GOlbs., this article commands a tolerable sale at
the abatement. Malt and Pease remain unvaried. Beans
in request, and Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer.
Oats were difficult of sale, and rather depressed in value.
Oatmeal was also taken off very sparingly, by the trade here;
but, with some further demand for Ireland, holders refused to
recede, and we therefore retain our last quotations.
