The CHAIRMAN, in delivering the senior divinity
medals, referred to one of the subjects, "The Life and
Writings of St. Paul." He said it was of the utmost
importance at the present time, in the great controversy
raging,—for we learned by infallible history that it was
St. Paul, and not St. Peter, who founded the Church of
Rome. There was no proof, and he defied the most
learned man on earth to show that St. Peter was ever at
Rome at all. He did not wish to say one word against
his Catholic brethren ; but the head of the Catholic
church had sent a foreign titled gentleman over here to
say that we had had no Christian church in this country
since the time of Queen Mary, and that we Protestants
must inevitably be damned because we don't believe that
St. Peter is the prince of the apostles, the popes his suc-
cessors, the Church of Rome the Queen and mother of
churches, and because werefuse to worship the Virgin Mary.
But we could not believe one or the other (loud cheering
by the boys). One of the subjects of a prize awarded was
the English Reformation. Now, his friend Dr. M'Neile
and he were neither of them worshippers of candles arid
candlesticks (loud and continued cheering). There was one
candle, however, which he believed they all reverenced, and
that was the candle lighted by the blazing faggots at the
deaths of Latimer and Ridley. Dr. Cardinal Wiseman
had thought that lie could snuff that candle out ; but he
(the chairman) trusted that he had made it burn brighter
than ever (loud applause).
The boys then sung, at the request of the principal, a
hymn composed on the Great Exhibition.
The Rev. Mr. OSBORNE, M.A., the Principal of the
Northern Church of England School, at Fleetwood, ad-
dressed the assembly, bearing testimony to the value of
an education blended with religion.

Mr. George Howson, Mr. Cox, and Mr. Michod, the
respective masters of the high, middle, and lowerischools,
read a detailed list of the prices, certificates, and honours
awarded in each.

The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE then rose to move a vote of
thanks to the chairman, whose services to the institution,
espe.lially by close attendance upon committees, be
warmly eulogised. He then adverted to the importance
of religious instruction. endorsing the sentiments uttered
by the Rector Campbell. It was not true that the clergy
were enemies to useful secular knowledge. They were
friends to all knowledge, keeping every branch in its
proper place, but they were friends to subordination ;
they desired the general to be at the head of the army.
and the knowledge of God to be at the head of all
knowledge which was to be communicated to the mind.
(ipplause.) The rev. gentleman then went on to
point ,out a failure in all schemes of natural

theology, on the ground that the books treating
of it set out with the express purpose of drawing a
conclusion from nature which they had already stolen
from the Bible, selecting only particular phenomena
to prove that God was love, and omitting those other cir-
cumstances which showed man's fall. He said he dared
not trust himself to speak on the controversial matters
referred to by the Rev. Rector Campbell. (Laughter.)
He was so much at home upon them that he might be in-
duced to keep them too long from home if he began.
(Laughter and applause.)
Mr. ADAM HODGSON seconded the motion, and in
doing so. expressed the regret of the directors that Mr.
George Howson, the vice-principal, was about to leave
the school for another sphere of duty.

Mr. HO SON acknowledged the compliment, and
briefly bid adieu to the pupils.
The. National Anthem was then sung, and the boys dis-
missed to the enjoyment of their holidays.

LIVERPOOL MECHANICS' INSTITUTION

EXAMINATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF HONOURS

The pupils of the various schools in connexion with the
Mechanics' Institution passed through their annual ex-
amination on Monday and Tuesday, in the presence of
their parents and friends, and a number of influential
gentlemen who take a warm interest in the institution.
The scholars in attendance at the High School were ex-
amined in the Sculpture Gallery from ten to four o'clock
on Monday, after which recitations were given in the
lecture-room. John M'Killop, Robert P. Roberts, and
James M'Andrew received honorary testimonials, whilst
a number of the pupils were meritoriously alluded to.
The examinations in the other departments of the insti-
tution, both as respects girls and boys, exhibited a very
creditable proficiency. The usual recitations of the boys
in the Lower School were given upon the whole with
great spirit and cleverness, and elicited unbounded ap-
plause. At the meeting held on Tuesday evening for the
distribution of honours to such of the pupils of the
Lower and Evening Schools as were deemed entitled to
them, William Rathbone, Esq., presided, and as their
names were respectively announced, he shook the youths
cordially by the hand, and delivered to them their testi-
monials, which were beautifully lithographed. Mr. Rath-
bone also made some pointed and judicious observations
in regard to the duties of both the pupils and their
parents. The names of the boys in the Lower School to

Mr. R. V. Yates, who, together with the principal
tutors, Dr. Ihne and Mr. M'llveen, was seated on the
platform, then addressed a few words to the pupils as to
the line of conduct which would most tend to their real
benefit after their school-days had passed ; and, after a
brief address from Mr. M'llveen, the national anthem
was sung, and the assembly dispersed.

THE LAW OF NATURE AND THE LAW OF

TRADE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD

SIR,—In a very respectable, and, ordinarily speaking, a
very intelligent paper—the Liverpool Times—l caught a
glance to-day of the following passage :
" By an admirable economy of nature and Providence, the
interests both of producers and consumers are effectually se-
cured under a system of free-trade."

It occurred to my mind, the moment I read the above,
that there must be a huge number of nations, on the face
of the globe, excluded from the operations and laws of
" nature" and " Providence," if the dictum of the Liver-
pool Times be correct. But lam afraid it is all a clap-
trap. Take the facts.

Prance is not a free-trade nation, for she taxes our pro-
duce most heavily ; ergo, she is a cast-out from the " ad-
mirable economy" of nature and Providence.
The German states that form the Zollverein are not
free-trade states, for they tax our produce most heavily :
ergo, they are rejected by nature and Providence.

, _ ... ._.
-America is not a free-trade country, for our produce is
taxed enormously ; and not merely our produce, but our
labour and our capital: ergo, America is among the
accursed of nations, unnoticed by nature and repudiated
by Providence.

Prussia taxes our produce, and is, therefore, not a free-
trade nation: ergo, nature and Providence have nothing
to do with her.

Spain taxes our shipping admirably for her own pur-
poses, while we repeal the laws against their shipping.
Spain is not a free-trader : ergo, nature and Providence
have left Spain to Mammon's father.
The Brazils tax our produce, hence they are not free-
traders : ergo, nature refuses to assist the sugar cane, and
Providence strikes the band that would press the juice
from it.
might make you out a list as long as myself of peoples
who must in this way be viewed as mere nothings in crea-
tion ; but from the few I have jotted down, a general
principle may be elicited.

. .
Is it not extraordinary that the only " security" which
the nations mentioned require for their "interests" is pro-
tection, and not free trade ? And is it not still more
curious how those countries get on so well, seeing that
nature and Providence are opposed to their efforts. Yet
if I should happen but to hint to my free-trade friend the
justice of reciprocal action in the matter of taxation, po-
sitively you would think he would act the part of a canni-
bal, and eat me outright.

Are the people of this country of Great Britain gone
mad ? Yours, &c.,

A CITIZEN

Glasgow, June 19. 1851

ntstritt pett)s,

Prescot contains 6,393 inhabitants, being an increase of
942 ow r the last census. St. Helen's contains 28,041 in-
habitants, being an increase of 7,561.
In the Court of Common Pleas, on Friday, it was de-
cided that the depositors in the Rochdale Savings' Bank
had a prior claim upon the estate of the late actuary to
other creditors.

About five years ago, a house in Bridge-street, St.
Helens, was sold for £55, and three years ago it was sold
for £95; the same property was again put up by auction
a week or two ago, when it was sold for £350.
223,842 persons left Manchester during the Whit-week
against 202,543 who left Manchester last year, being an
increase in railway passengers this year of no less an
amount than 21,299 persons over last year, and this not-
withstanding the unfavourable weather.

RIVINGTON PIKE FAlR.—This fair, as it is now called,
was held on Saturday last, when the " Pike" became the
spot of attraction to thousands of persons—most of them
from the neighbourhood of Bolton—who sought a day's
amusement in the hilly regions of Norwich and Rivington.
The locality not being yet accessible by rail, an abundance
of conveyances were called into requisition ; the more
common appliance being that of the ordinary cart, so that
while the gay holiday folk were enjoying the advantages
of fresh air, the horses would lack nothing in the shape of
" exercise ;" it is doubtful if some of them had not more
than a reasonable share. The number of vehicles taken
to the fair is considered to be about 150. Such visitors as
were unprovided with, or whose baskets contained in-
sufficient quantities of victuals, had the opportunity of
procuring supplies from a number of venders, who had
taken to the Pike, eatables and drinkables of various
kinds. Bands of music were present; and fiddling and
dancing were amongst the amusements engaged in by the
crowds upon the moors • while rolling down the hill was
a favourite sport with the young. The day being tine the
" trip" to the Pike must have been an agreeable one to
most of those who made the journey.—Bolton Chronicle.
TARVIN-HALL SCHOOL EXAMINATION.—The public
examination of the pupils of the above-named school took
place on Tuesday, in the presence of a number of the
parents and friends of the institution. The Chancellor
of the Diocese kindly presided on the occasion. The
usual subjects, including some high mathematical and
classical papers, with the modern languages, were intro-
duced during the day. The proceedings were rendered
additionally interesting by the presence of the former
captain of the school, Mr. Sprague, who has just obtained
the first place at St. John's College, Cambridge. Mr.
Long, for many years his class-fellow, took his final
school examination, having been entered at Cambridge
for October next. The lecture-hall, which has been
greatly beautified, was much admired. The music, as
usual, was very attractive : some exceedingly d.fficult
choruses were rendered with excellent taste. A large
party honoured the Principal with their presence at the
dinner table, when the health of Mr. Sprague, who has
already done such honour to the school, was given with
much enthusiasm. The very interesting proceedings of
the day passed off to the complete satisfaction of all pre-
sent.—About fifty of the pupils accompanied the Princi-
pal and tutors, on Thursday, on a week's visit to the
Great Exhibition.

RELATIVE INCREASE OF BRITISH AND
AMERICAN SHIPPING.

statesmen and journalists who have taken in hand the
benefitting of Great Britain by promoting exclusively
foreign interests—are excessively fond of statistical tables.

This statement, I say, may not be without its use, as an expres
sive evidence of the marked wisdom of the free trade go-
ment and party in this country, in their repeal of the
tion Laws. Our greatest commercial rivals have, it
extended their shipping 561,058 tons beyL
same time; the proportion of their increase as compared with
oursrbeing as 38 to 11. I regret that I cannot add to this
statement a curious extract from an official document of the
American government that came into my hands in the year
1848, which gave the state of their shipping in 1847, and a
computation of its probable increase for a succession of .years.
This book was lent to that truly honest, honourable, and high-
minded man, my late noble and lamented friend, and the true
friend of his country, Lord George Bentinck. It was mislaid,
and after his decease could not be found. I speak, therefore,
from memory, when I say that the computation then made by
the American government was, that the advanen

There is no man in Liverpool will doubt for a moment
that this is the true relative position of the two countries,
observing as we do the splendid new and large ships, from
the United States, which are continually arriving in our
river. And it is lamentable to reflect that the chief and
most profitable source of employment for those ships is
the deportation of the blood and sinew of our land,
which we are sending out to till and develope the wealth
of a foreign soil.

CHILDWALL FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL

EXHIBITION

From its first establishment this floral fete has been one
continued triumph, and notwithstanding the dull, and
even showery, weather of Thursday last, there was an at-
tendance for which the Society was totally unprepared.
Year by year the tent has heen increased in size, until it
has reached such unwieldly dimensions as to be almost
unmanageable in windy weather, nevertheless it was in-
conveniently crowded on Thursday, when it was visited
by upwards of 3,000 persons. in order to accommodate
this constant increase, the Committee has determined
upon providing a more substantial and commodious erec-
tion for the next season. On this occasion the company
was as select as it was numerous, every family of respecta-
bility in the neighbourhood being present. The band
from the Zoological Gardens, under the management of
Mr. Emidy, gave great satisfaction by the spirited per-
formance of a choice selection from Bellini, Donizetti,
Meyerbeer, Handel, Jullien, &c. After the flower show,
an al fresco ball was got up, and dancing on the green
was kept up with great spirit until the shades of evening
compelled the company to separate, after a day of rare
enjoyment.
