WARRINGTON.

MEETING OF THE GUARDIANS. —The usual weekly
meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Warrington
Union was held, on Wednesday last, at the Warrington
Workhouse. Will Kerfoot, Esq., the vice-chairman, in
the chair. There waS a good attendance of guardians
present. The applications for relief were so numerous
that an adjourned meeting was held on Friday last to com-
plete this part of their business. It appeared from the
weekly returns made up to the time of meeting, that Mr.
Owen had expended during the past week, in out-door re-
lief, £22 ss. 9d., and in non-settled relief, 10s. 6d., but
the return did not show the number of cases he had re-
lieved. It also appeared that Mr. Aspinall had expended
for No. 3 district, in out-door relief, £2l 18s in money,
and £6 Os. 6d. in provisions, making a total of £27185. 6d.
amongst 206 cases, and, in non-settled relief, he had re-
lieved 33 cases with £1 19s. in money, and £2 9s. 6d. in
kind—together £4 Bs. 6d. The other relieving officers had
not made up their returns, nor had the clerk yet received
them. The Manchester Courier, of Saturday last, states
that the only officer who bad rendered the necessary re-
turns was Mr. Owen, and that none of the other officers
had done so, which is not the case, for Mr. Aspinall's re-
turn was forwarded in proper time, and was duly entered
for the Board. It is true that other officers had not made
up their books in time for the Board, and they were called
in and informed by the Chairman of the consequences of
not furnishing the proper returns ; and he told them that
Messrs. Owen and Aspinall had made their returns, and
ordered them to complete the same without delay, which
they promised to do.

CORRESPONDENCE.
THE CATHEDRAL AT CALCUTTA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

SIR,—In your last publication I observed a paragraph
relative to the new Cathedral at Calcutta, a building
therein stigmatised as " mean, insignificant, and tawdry.'
In utter ignorance of the architect, I may observe, that
the above is doubtless a quotation from some other pe-
riodical; although no such authority is, with your usual
accuracy, acknowledged at its close. May I beg leave to
suggest the propriety of caution in the repetition of such
statements. There are parties in Calcutta as well as in
this country, who are quite ready to avail themselves of
any opportunity to disparage the proceedings of an evan-
gelical and apwtoliml bishop. A remark which might
pass almost without notice by the general reader may
serve its purpose in certain quarters, and must occasion,
on the other hand, painful sensations to those who recog-
nise in it the hostility of a concealed enemy to an attached
friend of their own.

---iieeinersibieprelate under whose direction and by
whose instrumentality the new Cathedral has been
erected, well known to many in this country, as no less
efficient in ecclesiastical taste than in the more solid ac-
quirements of scriptural theology. An unworthy attempt
to impugn his qualifications in one capacity, results in all
probability from the same malignity which would detract
from their exercise in the other. The churches erected in
Islington, during the incumbency of Daniel Wilson, will
at least attest such an appreciation of architectural pro-
priety as must forbid any outrage upon taste.--I am, sir,
yours respectfully,
A FORMER PARISHIONER or DR. WILSON.
Liverpool, 3rd December, 1847.
[The paragraph to which the above letter relates was
taken from the Indian correspondence of the Morning
Herald--a paper which is not likely to lend itself to the
circulation of anything calculated to injure the true inte-
rests of the Church of England.]
