iino-wiiiattgseXiieriment has been most successful.
The churches have been built—are open—and are now
filled. So far from there being any want of inclination on
the part of the people to fill them, the churches are so
crowded that they want enlarging. The success of the
plan has been so great that we have been induced to es-
tablish a second society for the purpose of building four
more churches in districts three of which have no place of
worship whatever. These contain a large mass of people
who may literally be said to be without government in
the world. For the first of these churches the Rev. Mr.
Connor, aided by some members of his congregation, not
of the higher classes, have raised no less than £4,000 to-
wards the erection of St. Simon's Church. Most gladly
have we voted £2,000 towards that object. That church
is now open and will be consecrated in a short time. We
have now arrived at this point, that we are now about to
lay the foundation stone of a new church here, and soon

do we hope to see it opened and attended by the population
of this neighbourhood ; but that is not all—there is a churoh
building, and it will soon be opened, at the sole cost and ex-
pense of our present worthy chief magistrate. That church
will be a lasting memorial of the advantages derived from
an earthly father, and of the pious zeal the sons have
manifested in behalf of their fellow-men. In a few weeks

more, 1 hope we shall 03 ante to open, in euunexio❑ wirn
the established church of this country, a church that was
to be built to be occupied by members of the Church of
Scotland, and hope in the course of a few weeks more we
shall have the pleasure of opening this building ; but still

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.-THIS DAY.

The panic in sock and shares in London increased towards
evening yesterday, and prices at the close were lower than ever
were known. We cannot account for this in any other way
than that sales were forced under the influence of the panic,

At this morning's meeting of the Stock Exchange there was
no great pressure o stock, nor can we say that the tone of the
market was bad, seeing that the news received from London
up to late last night were so unfavourable. We had buyers of
most good stocks at a price higher than the closing prices of
London last night. The prices marked were :—Manchester,
Bolton, and But y, 11 dis.; West-Riding Union, 34 dig. • Che-

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE—THIs DAY.
Although during several days past we have had a strong gale
from the west. very few vessels have entered this port since
Friday; the supplies on the whole, in addition to those then
stated, are consequently light.
Notwithstanding the duties on foreign Grain will be resumed
to morrow, this circumstance has not produced any material
effect upon the corn trade at our market this day.
Wheat, however, has been rather more hrm, at the full prices
of this day week, for all kinds of foreign; and fine Irish new,
which was scarce, was the turn dearer.

been trained to habits of useful domestic industry, as
emigrants to New South Wales and South Australia, care
being taken of their well-being during the passage and
on their arrival in those colonies ; from which arrange-

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. FEB. 25.

No particular feature can be noticed in the state of the mar-
ket this week, though the general aspect of political affairs has
had an unfavourable influence. Business in Manchester con-
tinues dull, and the manufacturers having been disappointed
in their expectations of a general improvement in trade, Spin-
ners have, in consequence, operated with caution in making
purcha,es ; and, as several of the recently landed cargoes from
the Unite i States have been brought freely. upon the market,
holders have not been able to obtain the prices current at the
end of last week ; American descriptions have declined 4d. per
lb. from the quotations of the 11th instant ; Brazil and East
India are rather less firm ; whilst in other kinds no alteration
can to noticed. 400 bales American and 103 Surat have been
taken by speculators, and by exporters 220 American, 80 Surat,
and 50 Bahia. At ie public sale of Friday last, of 830 Sea
Island offered, 450 sold, at prices similar to the previous auc-
tion. 01 900 Fast India and 150 Egyptian offered to-day, only
40 Madras sold at 40.

the emigrants, the shipowners are both more liberal
than the government, and display more practical
acquaintance with the wants and habits of the pas-
sengers. The clause in Mr. Labouchere's bill
allows 31Ibs. of beef and pork, and albs. of bread
or biscuit per week ; and, in addition, 61bs. of
bread, biscuit, flour, oatmeal. and rice. The ship-
owners object that beef or pork is generally totally

emigrants are principally composed, who have been
unaccustomed to such food; and that biscuit is po

MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY

The excitement on the Stock Exchange has been very little
diminished. The business has, however, been less extensive
than on Saturday ; the violent fluctuations on that and the pre-
vious day induced a great number of the speculators to leave
nothing open in the evening, as they could make no calculation
respecting the future. A little more caution, has, therefore,
been used this morning, and the extreme prices of Consols have
been 81 and 83, the latest quotation being 812 to 821. Prices
have not been made closer than about one-half per cent. The
price for money has ranged from 81i to 83. The Three per
Cents- Reduced have been done from 81i to 21, the Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. 82i ; the Exchequer-bills advertised
have been done from ss. to 18s., and the June bills from ss. to
15s. pm. Bank Stock 191 5, and India 230. The decline in the
prices above noted may be considered the effect of the reaction
