INVITATION TO PRAYER

(From a Correspondent)
The inhabitants of Manchester have very recently pub-
lished and extensively circulated "an invitation to the inha-
bitants of Liverpool, to unite with the inhabitants of Man-
chester, in a concert for private and family prayer." This
praiseworthy proposal has, we understand, originated with
members of the Church of England, and appears to have
been suggested by similar concerts for prayer previously
formed between the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, be-
tween Perth and Dundee, &c. The Scotch Presbyterians in
this town have heartily responded to the call. On Sabbath
last the excellent minister of St. Andrew's, Rodney-street,
commended the scheme to the adoption of his people, and
preached an appropriate sermon from the memorable words
of Samuel,—" God forbid that I should sin against the Lord
in ceasing to pray for you." Copies of the adress have been
distributed in the pews of that and other churches. We give
the document at length, and will be glad to find our contem-
poraries promoting the hallowed project by reprinting it.
" It being predicted that a time shall come when ' the earth
shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord ;' when ' all Israel
shall be saved;' and when `from the rising of the sun, even
unto the going down of the same, the Lord's name shall be
great among the Gentiles' (Isaiah xi. 9 ; Hab. ii. 14 •, Rom.
xi. 26 ; Mat. i. 11)—it being an appointed mean of obtaining
these promises that prayer shall be made by the people of
God for their fulfilment (Psalm ii. 8 ; Esek. xxxvi. 37)—it
being also specially promised, that if two of God's people
shall agree together respecting anything that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them (Mat. xviii. 19)—and it being pre-
dicted that ' the inhabitants of one city shall go to another,
saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the Lord, and to
seek the Lord of Hosts : I will go also' (Zech. viii. 21)—
there being, moreover, in the present times, many circum-
stances affording special encouragement to prayer for the
bringing in of the Jews with ' the fulness of the Gentiles'—
the Spirit of God having of late been more copiously be-
stowed than formerly upon the Churches—and it being be-
lieved that it is the duty of ' the inhabitants of one city' to
invite those of another' to join with them in prayer for the
revival of the Lord's work at home, through the Divine
power accompanying His ordinances, and for the spreading
of His Wad abroad for the conversion of Jews and Gentiles ;
a duty to which the attention of other cities has already been
drawn—the inhabitants of Liverpool are hereby earnestly re-
quested to unite with the inhabitants of Manchester in seek-
ing the Lord by special prayer for these desirable oblects ;
as also for the prosperity of the, Churches in and around
these two populous and important towns. It is further sug-
gested, that, with such ends in view, they devote to secret
and family prayer, the hour from eight to nine o'clock, or
as near'that hour as may be, every Sabbath morning.

May the Lord put it into the hearts of His people to agree
' speedily' to this proposal, on which many are already act-
ing ; and may He abundantly pour out upon them the Spirit
of grace and supplications, until in every place the savour
of His knowledge shall be made manifest • and the wilder-
ness and the solitary place shall be made glad for them, and
the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.' "

endowment, in addition to Bishop Wilson's munificent con-
tribution of £20,000, the East India-Company has granted
`.£15,000 and two additional chaplains ; the British residents

that the affair of the Archbishop of Cologne has been arranged
on the following terms :—The archbishop is to return quite

in waiting for him, to support which the King of Prussia has
offered him a pension of 20,000 dollars. The friends of the

ATTEMPT TO POISON A FAMILY.—A reward of £lOO has
been offered for the discovery of the person or persons who
" attempted to poison the ,family (nine in number) of the
Rev. Joseph Webster, of Merriman.s hill, near Worcester,
by introducing a quantity of arsenic into soup, of which the
family partook, and which nearly caused the death of the
whole, and several members of it are still in a dangerous
state."

A correspondent from 'Belfast informs the Londonderry
Standard that upwards of £3OOO have already been collected
in Belfast towards the well-merited testimonial to Dr. Cook,
for routing Mr. O'Connell out of the north, and also that the
Marquis of Downshire intends contributing £lOOO for the

same purpose.
DUBLIN, FEB. 25.—A case of some interest was tried be- i
fore Judge Perrin, in Wicklow, yesterday. A young man, I
named William Massey, who is entitled to a property of about ,
£3OO a-year, and is of respectable family, was charged with
having stolen two heifers and a bullock, from a Mr. Ireland.
The prisoner was found guilty, but reconi mended to mercy.
BREAKING-UP OF A SOCIALIST COLONY.—The disrup-
tion of the colony of Socialists established in Manea-Fen,
under the superintendence of Mr. Hodson, will not occasion
so much surprise as gratification. We rejoice that the at- '
tempt has failed to introduce doctrines so pernicious and de-
moralizing, for the sake of those who have been led astray by
the seductions of this miserable delusion. We apprehend
Mr. Hodson and his associates found few new converts in the
district where he sought to establish his community. While
the scheme languished, we did not attempt to force it from its
obscurity by frequent allusion or an exposure of its errors.
We felt convinced it could not stand the test of time, and we
are completely of opinion, that the better course in such mat-
ters is to leave them to the operation of reason and common
sense. The attempt to put them aside by argument, much
less to crush them by violence, would tend only to increase
their strength. The result has confirmed our expectations.
Socialism is banished from the Fens.—Cambridge Advertiser.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—On
the evening of Monday se'ennight, about seven o 'clock, as
Dr. Laing, of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, was proceeding from
that village to the westward, along the bye-road to New-
port, passing by the farm of Scotscraig, he met with a serious
accident, by which his horse was killed, and his own life put
in imminent peril. The night was extremely dark, and in
consequence, horse and rider went to one side of the road.
Within about sixty yards of Ferry-Port-on-Craig there is a
deep quarry of nearly a quarter of an acre in extent, the brink
of which is within a few feet of the road, and totally Unpro-
tected by any fence whatever. Dr. Laing's horse unfortu-
nately went too much to the right, and slipped its foot over
the quarry. Finding the absence of terra firma, the animal
endeavoured to recover itself, but finally leaped forward into
the quarry, a height of at least nineteen feet perpendicular.
Dr. Laing firmly kept his saddle until he reached the bottom,
and the preservation of his life is solely to be attributed to
that cause. He escaped with scarcely a single bruise. The
horse was dreadfully injured, and died on the spot.
GLOUCESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The pro-
ceedings of the half-yearly meeting of this company, on
Tuesday, were highly satisfactory, as evincing full confidence
in the judicious management of the directory. The comple-
tion of their line should urge on the railway from Bristol to

I'HEATR

OUTRAGE AT THE BIE.MINGHAN,
nesday evening, the audience of the Birmingham Theatre
suddenly became much alarmed in consequence of three
large tissue paper bags of flour being simultaneously thrown
from different parts of the gallery into the pit. The conster-
nation this diabolical act mated in all parts of the house—
but particularly in the pit—cannot be described. The per-
sons in the pit all hastened in a state of great terror to the
doors, believing the roof of the theatre was falling in. The
cries of the females were most distressing. One of the bags
of flour fell upon the bead of a gentleman in the orchestra
a second in the centre, and the third at about the fourt'
bench from the centre box in the fit—the whole of NO-
was speedily enveloped in a cloud of dust. For,-
there was but one person injured in the terrific rush to escape
from the house, a female, who was knocked down when
struggling at the door. In consequence of the general alarm
in the gallery, the scoundrels who committed this wanton
outrage were not secured, but in consequence of information
that was conveyed to the police-officer on duty, a fellow
named Thomas Jackson, was taken into custody during the
night. He was brought before the magistrate on Thursday
morning, at the public-office, and it was proved that he
threw one of the bags of flour. The magistrates ordered
him to enter into recognizances to appear at the sessions at
Warwick to take his trial for the offence, and not being pre-
pared to do so, he was committed.
CHILD MURDER.—One of the most atrocious cases of
child murder that has ever come to our knowledge, was
discovered on Wednesday last, through the activity of Mr.
M`Dougal, our superintendent of police. It appears that,
about thirteen weeks ago, a young woman, residing with her
mother and sister in a house in the Craigs of Stirling, was
delivered of an illegitimate female child, but it had scarcely
drawn the breath of life ere it was doomed to meet with a
cruel death from the hands of the unnatural grandmother
and aunt.—No sooner had the child begun to cry, than the
grandmother said " she would soon stop its squalling," and
after procuring a piece of cloth, which she saturated with oil,
and wrapping the infant within it, she placed the whole upon
the fire, having first stirred it up, in order to insure a speedy
dissolution. These are the facts of the case, so far as they
have reached us, and we understand that the grandmother,
mother, and aunt of the deceased child have been apprehended
by Mr. M`Dougal, and after being examined by Sir John
Hay, they were committed for further examination.—Stirling
Journal.

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—We are exceed-
ingly happy to state that there is no foundation whatever for
the paragraph which has appeared in several of the daily
papers, stating that her Majesty Queen Adelaide was suffer-
ing from a severe cold. On inquiring at Marlborough House
this morning, we were informed that the Queen Dowager
was in the full enjoyment of her usual good state of health,
and that her Majesty had not been suffering any indisposi-
tion, or in any manner prevented from taking her usual daily
exercises. The band of the Fusileer Guards did not play in
St. James's Park either yesterday morning or this morning,
but we are happy to state that the health of the Queen
Dowager was not the cause.—Standard, Thursday.
The Carlow Sentinel states that last Sunday, after the ce-
lebration of mass in the chapel of Mayo, in the Queen's
County, the doors were closed, and the congregation obliged
to sign two petitions, one in favour of Lord Morpeth's bill,
the other against Lord Stanley's. The respectable farmers
who were confined for a considerable period were very in-
dignant at the course pursued, and on the following day
upwards of 200 Roman Catholics, residing in the district,
signed a petition in favour of Lord Stanley's bill. This
journal further states, that " there is a general feeling favour
able to Lord Stanley's bill amongst all those who comprehend
its object, and the salutary effects that would follow its enact-
ment." On Sunday last, the officer in command of some
Roman Catholic soldiers belonging to the 47th depot, removed
them from Longford chapel, in consequence of the officiating
priest using violent and exciting language in his sermon in
opposition to Lord Stanley's bill.—Morning Herald.

UPSETTING OF A CONVICT HULK.—On Monday, the
Thames frigate, which has been lately converted into a con-
vict bulk, and fitted up at Deptford, was being hauled out of
dock towards her berth off the victualling yard, when she
got aground on the " slip" close to the wharf, and was laid
on her beam ends, in which position she continued until
Tuesday morning at three o'clock, when she was hauled to
her berth intended for her, where she is destined to remain.
The old convict ship, which has for so many years lain in the
same place, has been lately broken up, and the Thames sub-
stituted in her place. There are 300 convicts on board, and
they were somewhat alarmed when the ship went aground,
but none of them received any hurt.

ATTEMPTED MunnEß.—draig, the unfortunate man who
was so desperately injured in the Sussex County Hospital, by
a fellow-patient named Clark, is going on much better than
could have been expected. It has been satisfactorily ascer-
tained that Clark was suddenly attacked by a paroxysm of in-
sanity, and it has been requisite to keep him under the re-
straint of a strait waistcoat.

A considerable degree of sensation was occasioned on
Monday, in the neighbourhood of the Old Market, Bristol,
from the fact of a funeral having been stopped by the police
on its way to the churchyard. Rumours had been flying
about for some days that the deceased, who was a married
woman of the name of Caroline Frost, had been brutally
beaten by her husband, and that she died in consequence. A
coroner's inquest has been held, and it appeared that, al-
though Frost had wounded the deceased some time ago by
throwing a key at her, which struck her on the eye and de-
stroyed the sight, that was not the cause of death; according
to the testimony of the medical gentlemen who had examined
the body, death was caused by an internal tumour in the
head, verdict to that effect was returned.

CLIFTON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—This wonderful struc-
ture is now rapidly progressing, and great interest is felt by
scientific men in this city, as well as many from a distance,
in the important operation of fixing the chains, which we
hear will shortly be done. The masonry has elicited the un-
qualified approbation of all who have inspected the works.—
Bristol paper.

AMERICAN TROTTERS.—The Americans, who derive their
best breed from us, have hitherto been able to produce horses
greatly superior to ours in trotting, and the only possible
reason for this must be, that they early habituate those
horses that appear likely to shine at this pace to stick to it
and no other, which they certainly would never think of doing
were their trotting powers likely to be ierounerated by no
more substantial benefit to their owners than mere fame. The
trotting stakes on the other side of the Atlantic, however,
are sufficiently large to induce the Americans to turn their
attention to improving a pace which, when rendered first-
rate, is sure to be rewarded by ample pecuniary gains ; and
there can be not doubt that were similar prizes instituted in
this country, we should very shortly be able to compete with
brother Jonathan in a pace which he has so studiously culti-
vated as to be able at the present moment to send horses to
this 'country which throw down the gauntlet to our best
trotters.—Old Sporting Mayazinefor February.
SUICIDE.—On Friday week, as a boy was proceeding
through Hornsey-wood, near London, he was exceedingly
terrified at beholding the body of 'a respectable-looking
young man suspended from a tree. He instantly ran oft;
and gave information to a policeman, who proceeded to the
spot and cut the body down, and carried it to the station-
house, where it was 'found to be quite dead. Every inquiry
was made for the purpose of tracing his friends, there being
nothing on his person to lead to the discovery of who or
what he was. His remains were subsequently recognised,
when it appeared that be was clerk in the service of Mr.
Castles, wine-merchant, of Aldersgate-street, City, and his
name Alfred Croley. He did not attend, as was his usual
custom, at his employer's house on Friday week, but in the
morning of that day he left his wife and four children, in a
dejected state of mind bidding them " adieu." On the same
day he sent a letter, addressing it' to' Mr. Castles, stating
that he had committed himself, and defalcations would be
traced in his accounts, and he could never face him again ;
and by the time he (Mr. Castles) would receive that letter
he should be no more, as he intended to' put an end to his
existence, and if they thought proper they would find his
corpse in Hornsek-wood. On examining his accounts con-
siderable defalcations were traced. He has left his wife and
family in very indigent crcumstances.
A letter from Berlin of the 18th ult. announces that the
nuptials of the King of Holland with the Countess of Oul-
tremont were celebrated on that day according to the rites of
the catholic religion, in the palace of the Princess Albert, his
daughter. The witnesses of the ceremony were the Prince
and Princess Albert, Count de Perponcher, minister of the
Low Countries, in Berlin, and M. de Brauchitsch. a general
in the Prussian service. The countess arrived in Berlin on
the 14th, accompanied by her brother. She alighted first at
the St. Petersburgh Hotel, and afterwards removed to a
private dwelling. Our private letters state that the newly
married couple were about to proceed to the Hague, to the
chagrin of the reigning sovereign.
The last case offatal duel which came before the House of
Lords was in 1776 or 1777, in the case of Lord Byron, who
was tried in Westminster Hall, for the murder of Mr. Wm.
Chaworth. Lord Byron had a dispute with Mr. Chaworth
about the best method of preserving game. The conversation
occurred at a dinner patty at the Star and Garter Tavern in
Palace-yard ; and his lordship, two hours after the dispute
was erided, and while the company were leaving the house,
beckoned Mr. Chaworth into an empty room, and then shut-
ting the door, bade him draw his sword. After one thrust
and parry the parties closed, and Lord Byron, shortening his
sword, ran it quite through his antagonist's body. This is a
case of duelling, and a very bad case of duelling, for the en-
counter took place without witnesses, yet of all the peers of
parliament assembled upo❑ this trial, not one pronounced
Lord Byron guilty. Four pronounced him not guilty, gene-
rally, and the rest, not guilty of murder, but guilty of man-
slaughter.

REMARKABLE WILL.—One of the masters of the Court
of Chancery has this week, in ascertaining who are the next
of kin of Thomas Spooner, Esq., late of George's-yard, in
Lombard-street, London, deceased, decided in favour of a
poor old woman residing in Salford, (a client of Mr. W.
Banks, solicitor, in this town,) by which a surplus fund of
personal estate undisposed of by the will of the deceased,
amounting to £15,000 and upwards, will now become distri-
butable equally between her, another, and the widow of the
deceased. The proof adduced by Mr. Banks in establishing
his clients claim as one of the next of kin, and upon which
the master in chancery has decided, will also hereafter, if the
legal necessary steps be taken to perpetuate that testimony,
establish the claim of the " heirs at law" to the testator's
real estates in Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk, all of which
are devised to the widow for life, (who is still living,) and
upon whose decease, real estates to the amount of £70,000
will descend to the testator's heirs at law, who at present are
two poor labouring Men, one residing in Westmorland, the
other in Lancashire. Most strange to relate, the testator by
his will, after bequeathing pecuniary legacies to his friends a-
and relations, amounting to £25,000, out of his personalav e
tate, proceeds as follows :—" lat present (1837) the ee
