,ever executed when genius had plannel
uld be placed in one scale, and that on
simple,declaration "-God so loved the world that he gave hi

only-beloved Son for it," could be placed in the other—the
Scale that hears the -whole heaped and hoarded intellect of
man would rise and tremble aloft in the air, outweighed by the
all-enlightening proclamation of the love of God to sinners !
(Tremendous cheers.) But I will not, I have not time,
insist upon these things. And in truth when I remember
how you, whom I am now addressing, have been indoctrinated
into such subjects, it seems very vain and absurd to sup-
pose I could add anything to your previous convictions. But
this it is necessary to impress upon you, because it bears
upon our religion. Remember this : it religious education
be thus necessary to your young people, it is also a most
certain fact that the clergy are, and must ever be under all
circumstances whatever, the principal instruments in all such
education if it should be rightly and soundly conducted.
(Hear.) I know, and lam ready to confess, that the clergy'
of the church of Christ have too often forsaken their high
calling ; but I know that though they forsook it ten thousand
times it does not invalidate the calling itself. (Hear.) I
know that though every man in the church of Christ in the
world, were bound each with his fellow, in one conspiracy to
cast a cloud of darkness over the face of the earth, if by the
grace of God in the following generation, men of God once
more arose, if they could cast aside that darkness, if they could
roll away that cloud, if they could by the power of God em-
breathed in their souls, stand forth once more as the de-
clarers of Christ's grace, as Christ gave it to his church,
then I know their calling would return valid as ever, their
right to be the commissioned instructors of the people would
be acknowledged as if never forfeited, their commission as
immortal as Christ himself is immortal. (Hear, hear.) The
clergy are your teachers; they ought to be the superinten-
dents of your schools, because they are the superintendents
of your religion. (Hear.) Let any man tell me what argu-
ment there is which can place a distinction between the right
of ministers to speak to old and young of the people, and
the right to speak to little ones in the faith, in the class and
in the school ? I know no exception that Jesus Christ has
instituted upon the subject. I know that be has commis-
sioned us through his apostles to be constant in this great
work—to be indefatigable ; he meditated no hiatus in our
commission; he did not contemplate that we should be clothed
with all the authority of our calling, when we ascended the
pulpit to teach, and the instant we left the church should sink
into the rank of our fellow men, and to be no more than the
rest of society around. (Hear.) That was not his purpose
in instituting the ancient church. Hii purpose was that it
should be universal, not only catholic in place but catholic in
spirit also ; not only universal in its local extent, but universal
in its pervading influence through every class and every de-
partment of society. (Hear.) Therefore when I ask you to
subscribe this evening (for I will say we want assistance, boldly
and plainly) to this association. I do so for this one main
reason, that you can secure to this association that the clergy
of the established church of England, the pure dispensers of
truth, shall be superintendents of the teaching of the young.
(Cheers.) I trust in God, my friends, that I yield to no man
in this large assembly in 'my deep and tender sympathy with
every one of every calling who professes the truth in Christ.
I can sympathise even with their errors, for I know I myself
am liable to error ; I can sympathise, I bad nearly said, even
with their darker failings, when I remember that if I myself
am sheltered from such it is the free grace of God alone that
has interposed between me and ruin. (Hear.) But while I
do so I would still insist upon the principle, that there is the
truth of God ; and as that truth is one which you, as mem-
bers of the united church of England and Ireland profess to
hold, better than other societies, you, in belonging to that
society, openly, not from habit, but from reason and convic-
tion, are bound I say to stand by the church of the living God
as it is established in these realms. My dear friends—for I
feel I must cease—we would have you to extend your sym-
pathy upon this occasion, as you have often done before, to
your poor Irish sister. We know you have indeed often
helped us before in our need. We acknowledge that many
and many a time, when ghastly famine had sicklied the cheek
of the poor Irish peasant in the far wilds of Connaught—we
cannot forget it—how England stepped forward to relieve
her famishing sister. Never, no, never can we forget it ; for
perverted as she may be by misled men, even the arts of treason
and faction cannot, after all, rob Ireland of her divine gift of
gratitude to her benefactors. I leave this case with you ; 1 leave
it with your understandings and I leave it with your hearts.
Simply and plainly I put it to your understandings—is there
peace for Ireland if this church in teaching gospel truths does
not assist her ? I ask•you if " the salt of the earth " cannot
preserve her, what else can be expected to do so ? If Christ's
own appointed remedy for national evils cannot soothe her
deadly wounds, where shall we look for the balm that Gilead
cannot give ? Is there any safety in looking for a national
restoration any where but where the architect of the uni-
verse has placed it, or any use in seeking for national ad-
vancement when the vanguard is not led on by the captain of
our salvation ? (Cheers.) I know your hearts are ready to
join us in this cause ; and I would remind you, if you would
urge this cause any where, you should urge it among the
young, among the hope of this country. There is the field
of genuine patriotism ! (Cheers.) If I were asked of that
sublimest of virtues where it is shown genuine and good.
where should I point? To the senate-house, or the hustings ?
No ! I should seek it among the humble and more familiar
of her majesty's subjects ; and (I trust there is more than
one of that excellent fraternity here) I know none who has a
better claim to that character than the church's own school-
teachers—than those who cultivate the seed-plot for truth,
this training ground for immortal happiness. (Cheers.) Fi-
nally, we would beseech you to join us in this work. You
see it plainly if you merely refer to rational grounds ; but
say if you can come to any other conclusion than the one I
would lead you to. But little can you know what the case is
unless you knew the people for whom I am pleading. You
know many of them, but unfortunately they are the most
unfavourable specimens of onr Irish peasantry ; it is those
who can find no home in their own country that throng your
shores, driven hither, oftentimes, I fear, by famine. You
cannot know our people from such specimens as these. You
cannot know the Irish character from these off-shoots of our
nation. Believe us to be a people generous, a people tender
and devoted, a people enthusiastic, a people loyal—l will
say it, even when perverted. (Tremendous cheers.) I do
say it, because even when perverted, it is loyalty of
spirit still. (Renewed cheers.) The heart is moving
loyally, but it mistakes the object. The great deluder places
before it a false phantom, and the heart, in the instant of
loyalty, embraces the cloud he forges for it. (Hear.) This
people it is that supplicate you by my voice this evening ;
this people—even our itomish peasantry, the gospel-deprived
Romanists of Ireland—ask you, by my voice this evening,
to help them. (Cheers.) The clergy of Ireland—the true
friends of that country in peril and persecution—beseech
you by my voice to help them. To go further : the mitred
prelates of Ireland, the chiefs of our hierarchy—they have
largely contributed to our funds, I assure you—and, above
all, that dear and much-beloved man who presides over the
church in Ireland—they all beseech you this evening, by my
humble ministration, to come forward and help the cause of
church and gospel education in the kingdom of Ireland.—
(Tremendous cheering, during which the eloquent and rev.
gentleman resumed his seat.)
The Rev. THOMAS NOLAN, in an able speech, seconded
the motion, and it was carried unanimously.
Mr. How Ann, after a few remarks upon the excellence of
the society, moved the next resolution, which embraced the
appointment of the committee and officers for the ensuing
year, for which see our advertising columns.

Mr. CH ARLES GROVES seconded the motion, and it was
carried.

The CHAIRMAN having addressed a few practical exhorta-
tions to the meeting, the doxology was sung, and the pro-
ceedings terminated a few minutes past ten o'clock.
Several gentlemen afterwards became annual subscribers
to the society.

AWFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday James Malone, the son
of the respected Barrack-Serjeant of Ballincollig, while
shooting, in company with two lads, on the lands of Mr.
Joshua Sullivan, near Ballincollig, and in the act of drawing
the gun up a hedge was killed on the spot, leaving his afflicted
parents and friends to lament the sudden bereavement of this
fine and much loved youth.—Cork Constitution.
Private letters from Manchester, adverting to the failure
of Gisborne Wilson and Co., the calico printers, state the
amount of liabilities at about £BO,OOO. The immediate cause
of the stoppage is referred to the Bank of Manchester, which
stands as a creditor for £6,000. This is the very precise
bank, it will be remembered, which allowed one of its own
directors to overrun his account by £30,000, and then com-
pounded with him for ten shillings in the pound, without pub-
lishing a word about the matter, so that his credit should not
be affected, and continuing him besides as before one of the
Bank directors, which of course helped to sustain his credit
as high as ever. Many people are inclined to think that the
then and all creditors since of that insolvent director, who
after all did not pay the bank the 10s. poundage composition,
have a legal and justifiable claim upon the bank for payment
of their debts in full, upon the principle of the false credit
and character so directly and indirectly given by the bank.
The question would seem worth the trial any how, for surely
there cannot be one law for individuals and another for cor-
porations endowed with no special immunities in that re-
spect. The Bank of Manchester, which at the late meeting
of the proprietary made so deplorable an exhibit of the dis-
appearance of surplus profits and rest, and was questioned
about inroads upon capital stock besides in the shape of lr.rge
uncovered advances to one or two of its actual directors, ap-
pears anxious to make up for lost time and past losses by
the earliest possible application of the screw now.—Morning
Herald.
SUDDEN TERMINATION OF MICHAELMAS TERM IN THE
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Thursday being the last day
of term, it is usual for their lordships to sit until a very late
hour, but the court rose this morning before eleven o'clock,
under circumstances, which, it is stated, are without a pre-
cedent. The subject is the universal theme of conversation
in Westminster-hallatnongst members of the legal profession,
and great difference of opinion exists as to whether Lord
Denman was justified in declaring the term at an end. Their
lordships took their seats on the bench at the usual hour
(ten o'clock), when Lord Denman gsve judgment in some
cases. Lord Denman, after giving these decisions (as is the
usual practice of the court on the last day of term) called
first on gentlemen below the bar, but none of them were in-
structed to move. His lordship then called on the Attor-
ney-General, who made a shnrt motion, which having been
disposed of, no counsel present were prepared to make appli-
cation. After a short pause, the Solicitor-General entered,
and moved to make a rule absolute, which was granted. After
a short pause, their lordships again inquired if any gentleman
was prepared to make an application to the court, and being
answered in the negative, Lord Denman said, the time
of this court, which is the time of the public, cannot be
wasted by the non-attendance of the counsel. I therefore
declare, as far as concerns this court, that the term is at
an end. His lordship added, I hope this proceeding may
have a favourable and beneficial effect, and that counsel will
see that in future it is necessary for them to be in attendance
at the proper hour. Their lordships immediately afterwards
(before eleven o'clock) rose and left the court.
THE LATE SIR FRANCIS CHANTREY R.A.—lt iS with
much regret we have to announce the death of that distin-
guished sculptor, which unlooked-for event took place on
Thursday evening last, about nine o'clock, at his house, in
Eccleston-street, Eaton-square. Sir Francis had altered
much for the worse in his appearance during the last year ;
and it is said that lie was for some time affected by a disease
of the heart, which, however, did not cause him any great
alarm ; but on the evening above stated he was suddenly
seized with a spasm or sense of severe compression of the
chest. A medical gentleman was immediately called in, who
ordered a medicine, the application of which afforded so
much relief to the sufferer, that he, though rather impru-
dently, believed himself safe enough to join his small dinner
party, at which he seemed to enjoy his usual state of good
spirits. Shortly after dinner, however, he was seized with a
spasm still more severe than the first, and in less than half
an hour he was no more. Sir Francis was a very remarkable
instance of the rise of talent from obscurity to eminence.
He was born at Norton, in Derbyshire, in 1782. His father
was what is called a small farmer, and it is stated that young
Chantrey frequently took charge of the milk, butter, and
eggs from the farm to Sheffield market, and it is still remem-
bered that the butter often exhibited strong indications of
the modeller's art; his genius was, however doomed to re-
main in obscurity for some time longer ; he was apprenticed
to a carver and gilder in Sheffield, in whose service young
Chantrey's genius had not a single opportunity to display
itself. Fortunately for him, however, he had an uncle in
London who was butler to the late Miss D'Oyly ; to the
metropolis, therefore, the young aspirant came, and was re-
ceived with great kindness by his uncle. Sir Francis com-
menced his career as a portrait painter, but did not do much
in that line. The bent of his talent was for modelling, his
first essay at which was a head of Horne Tooke, in which he
was very successful. Sir Francis married in 1809 a Miss
Watt, but has left no family. His lady survives him. At
the inquest the unanimous verdict was,-that he died of spasm
at the heart.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 26

For the ensuing week, the duty on foreign Wheat is re-
duced to 22s Bd, on Oats to 13s 9d, on Rye to 12s 6d per
qr, on Flour to 13s 74d per brl ; that on all British colonial
produce remaining unvaried.
Since our report of Tuesday we have to note a moderate
quantity of Wheat, Oats, and Flour, with a further good
supply of Oatmeal from Ireland ; but of anything coastwise
or from abroad the arrivals are comparatively light.
The generally indifferent state of business in the manufac-
turing districts, and the depression in many of the leading
corn markets of the kingdom, having conduced to increase
the languor previously complained of here ; the transactions
since Tuesday have been extremely limited, and had buyers
appeared, most articles of the trade might have been pur-
chased on somewhat easier terms.
At our Corn Exchange to-day, a few thousand bushels of
foreign free Wheat having been disposed of for shipment to
Ireland, appeared to give the trade for this grain a rather
firmer tone, and on the part of holders there
was decidedly less inclination shown to press sales
than at an earlier period of the week : but upon a
limited attendance of country bnyers, and our local millers
continuing to buy very cautiously, no amendment in prices
was apparent for these descriptions, and English, as well as
Irish barely sustained our last quotations.
English, Irish, and foreign Flour, upon a very limited
enquiry, must be deemed the turn cheaper.
Malting Barley, the quality not being sufficiently attrac-
tive, was offered with little effect at a decline of Is. per qr. ;
and Malt, being more difficult to sell, experienced a similar
abatement. In Grinding Barley we have no material change
to note.

Beans were in some request, but on rather lower terms,
Egyptian being offered at 31s, and in one or two instances 30s
per qr was accepted.—ln Peas no alteration.
