THE LIVERPOOL STANDARIi

TOI,VN COUNCIL NIOCEEDINGS.

On Wednesday the usual monthly meeting of the Coun-
cil wai held at the '1•,),,vp.h011.
The proceedings of the Finance Committee, comprising
the following recommc)alitions—the appointment of Ge )
Beggs,. as collector of (loci), fine.; ; the silt-of the rever-
sion of certain property at the corner of Fen wick-street
and Brunswick-street to 'dr. Georg; Holt; and the sale
of the reversion of tour small houses in Flint-street, for
the erection on the site of schools to be connected with
St. Barnabas's Church, having; been read,
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE moved their confirmation. In
doing so, he said he should only allude to one subject, and
that was the sale, or attempted sale, of the residue of the
corpor ttion property at Wallasey Pool, by auction. They
were all aware of the failure of that attempted sale; but it
could hardly be said that the intentions of the council
were carried out upon that occasion, as the restrictions
then imposed rendered the sale a nullity. He was most
distinctly of opinion that it never was the intention of the
committee to clog the biddings by any such restrictions.
The wish of the committee was to offer the land for sale
by public auction on such termsas would secure the high-
est price, and on the same terms that they were willing to
sell Messrs. Laird and Jackson the last lot of land which
those gentlemen had tendered for to the council. But, in
consequence of the committee not having adjusted the
precise conditions of sale, a difficulty had occurred ; and
it was now his duty to intimate, assuming that it was still
the wish of the council to sell and to offer for sale by pub-
lic auction in the first instance, that the committee would
think it right to put the property up again for sale, in the
manner they had done, but without the former restric-
tions.
Mr. ISAAC HOLMES said he had attended the sale, and
that 16s. 6d. was offered for part of a lot of land for which
only 14s. had been previously offered.
Mr. PARKER called attention to a portion of the pro-
ceedings, by which it appeared that the committee deemed
it advisable that innkeepers in streets of sixteen yards
wide should have the privilege of having a stand for cars
and coaches in front of their licenses. He thought they
would have stands in 150 parts of the town if this regula-
tion were carried out, inasmuch as almost every innkeeper
had a car of his own ; and was this in accordance with
the bye-laws ?
Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE replied certainly not ; but
added that the committee were preparing to make a bye-
law on the subject, with the view of meeting the wishes of
the innkeepers and the public. A memorial had been re-
ceived from the innkeepers, stating that it would be a very
great advantage to them if they could occupy a place oppo-
site their doors with a single car. With this request the
council could not comply ; but the committee were wil-
ling there should be a public, not a private, stand oppo-
site their doors, of which any and every car driver might
avail himself.

DOCK AND TOWN DUES.

Mr. Turner, on behalf of his house, has addressed the
following important letter to the Finance Committee of
the Town Council :

(COPY.)

TO THE CHAIRMAN OP THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
- - -

SlR,—The Council having decided that, as respects the
payment of town dues, all packages in wood or canvas
measuring above eight feet, and weighing more than two
hundred weight, shall be considered cases or bales, and
charged with duty accordingly, I beg on behalf of the house
of Sands, Turner, and Co., in which I am a partner, and
of whose business I have the principal management, to
enter my protest against this decision as altogether arbi•
trary,—not supported by custom,—contrary to the prat •
tice of the Town Dues office hither.o, and at variance with
instructions which have been repeatedly given by the re-
ceiver of the town dues to exporters for their guidance,
and therefore incapable of being enforced at law. In the
evidence given by Mr. Corrie, the receiver of the town
dues, before a special committee of the Council, appointed
in November last, he stated :

That his attention was called to the subject during the
litigation with Bolton, Ogden, and Co., which terminated
20th June, 1843.

That he spoke to Mr. Blake (the clerk of Sands and Co.)
on the 30th June, 1834, and that the subject was again
mooted by him on the 22d July, 1834, and a few days af-
terwards carried as far as he could carry it.
That the matter was afterwards mentioned to the Town-
dues Committee; he does not recollect the date, but he
says that Sir Thos. Braneker, " who was a member of
the Town-dues Committee at the time, recollects the cir-
cumstance, and will confirm my statement of the result ;"
and Mr. Corrie adds, " With that result I was sickened."
Mr. Corrie, your own receiver, was then asked :
Can you define the difference between bales and trusses,
and boxes and cases ?—No.

After a few observations from the TOWN-CLERK, it was
understood that the committee were to exercise a discre-
tion upon the subject, and not to grant the privilege in
places where there were regular stands in the neighbour-
hood.

Is there any person in your office who can give a decisive
definition ?—No.

Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE called attention to a part of the
proceedings from which it appeared that the Finance
Committee had offered to sell the North Shore strand to
the Dock Committee for the sum of £300,000. He
wished it to be understood that this offer had been made
by the Dock Committee. (Hear.) It further appeared
from the proceedings, that a bill had been paid for I.lw-
stationery: and he thought it necessary to call attention
to this payment, inasmuch as it had been distinctly un-
derstood at the time the Paid-officers' Committee pre-
sented their report, that no business was to be transacted
by the officers of the corporation.
Mr. AMIN begged to call attention to the Sailors'
Home. It appeared from the proceedings that there was
only one place which could be granted, and he understood
that in the prezent state of the corporate funds, the place
in question could not be given. He believed there would
be a value arising out of the establishment of a Sailor's
Home, which would justify them in granting the dearest
land for such a purpose. (Hear.) But, although the ap-
plication with regard to the central Police Station had
been refused, he was inclined to hope that what he was
now about to state would induce the council to allow the
subject to be re-considered. The Police Stotion had been
built by the Dock Trust, and that trust could resume it
for dock purposes at any moment. He believed the Dock
Committee were fully impressed with the belief that
nothing could be more desirable than the establishment of
a Sailor's Home, and that they would be willing to grant
the use of the station for the purpose. He was not desi-
rous that the two bodies should be brought into collision,
but if the Watch Committee would allow the subject to be
referred to them, he thought a proposal could be made
which would fulfil all the objects of that committee, and
thus enable the use of the Police Station to be obtained—.
a building which, if it had been erected expressly for the
purposes of a Sailor's Home, could not have more com-
pletely suited. There was a desire on the part of the pub-
lic of all classes on this important subject, and there would
be plenty of money pouring in if the building was once
grai,ted._

Is there any auth(,rity to which you can appeal fur a de-
finition ?—None.

Have you appealed to the Town-clerk in other instances
beside that of Sands and Co. ?—I have spoken to him on
the subject, but the difficulty of defining the difference be-
tween packages has prevented anv further proceeding.
Mr. Corrie further stated in his evidence,
That he had never remonstrated with Sands and Co.
since 1834, having been then set at defiance.
" That he made a complain' against Mongredien and
Co., to the Town-clerk, but it was not proceeded with.
" That he had told Mr. Ripley's clerk that be might
enter packages of 400 lbs. weight as trusses.
" That he had told Messrs. Brownrigg, Stevens, and
Co.'s clerk that he would be doing right if he entered
goods according as they were advised to the firm (it being
quite notorious, I must add, that all wooden packages corn-
ing from Belfast or Glasgow are called boxes, whatever
their size or weight may be.)
Mr. Corrie further stated,
" That he had, in company with Mr. Bridge, (the then
Inspector for the Town-dues office) visited the warehouse
of Messrs. Moon and Co., for the purpose of inspecting
some packages (which they were in the habit of shipping
as trusses), which he (the receiver) considered questiona-
ble, and being asked what was the size of the questionable
packages, he stated about twenty-seven cubic feet ; and
being further asked under what denomination these ques-
tionable packages were passed fur town dues at his of-
fice, he stated that they were always passed as trusses.
It is thus well known from the evidence of the receiver,
as well as from other sources, that the subject was consi-
dered by the Town-dues Committee so far back as 1834,
and that their attention was at that time specially called
to the circumstance that several of the merchants con-
ceived that the Town-Council could not legally enforce
the payment upon the export of dry goods packed in wood
or canvas, of any higher duty than the box and truss rate,
and that some of the largest exporters had been and were
continuing to act upon that impression. No legal steps
were, however, taken at that time, nor have they subse-
quently been attempted ; thus, in effect, surrendering all
question of legal right by an admitted acquiescence in and
acceptance of the lower rate of duty for the last ten years
at least.

- Mr. HENRY LAWRENCE moved that the subject be re-
considered, and thao,directions be given to ascertain whe-
ther any of the sites previously suggested, or any new
sites, might not be available for the purpose.
Mr. H. HOLMES seconded the motion, but after a few
further observations it was eventually agreed that Mr.
Aikin should bring the subject before the Dock Commit-
tee, and that that committee should seek a conference
with the Finance and Watch Committee.
Mr. NORTH said, that as it appeared by the proceed-
ings that an artist had been seeking permission to copy
the picture of the crucifixion in the Town-hall, he wished
to avail himself of the opportunity to state that that pic-
ture was, in his opinion, very unsuitably placed, and par-
ticularly on occasions when it was most seen. (Hear.)
He should be glad if any thing could be done with the
view of placing it elsewhere ; and he should suggest that
it be given to some church. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Bir-
kett.)

The Council however, now determine that they will
levy hereafter the higher rate of duty upon all packages
measuring above eight feet, and weighing more than two
hundred weight—upon what grounds it is difficult to con-
jecture, after the evidence of the receiver, and we have
reason to believe that none of the mercantile asoociations
who were applied to by a sub-committee appointed on the
subject, could, or at least did, give any definition what-
ever, whilst several of them expressly declared that no sa-
tisfactory definition could be given of the difference between
cases and boxes, or bales and trusses.

Although, therefore, considering the small amount of
any payment I can have to make, I do not think the point
worth contesting in a court of law, and it is my intention
to adopt the definition that has been decided upon by the
Council, I think it due to myself and my house to say,
that 1 cannot admit its correctness.—l am, sir, with much
respect, your obedient, humble servant,
Liverpool, Ist February, 1844.

Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE coincided in this view.
Mr. AIKIN dissented.
It was understood that a motion would be submitted on
the subject at some future day.
The proceedings of the Watch, Lighting, Cleansing, and
Fire-police Committee, comprising the laying of a watch
rate upon Liverpool, Kirkdale, and Everton' and those
parts of West Derby and Toxteth-park which are within
the borough having been read.
Mr. JAMES LAWRENCE moved their confirmation, and
ok occasion to observe that he was sure the council
would deeply regret, with himself, that Mr. Whitty, after
having served them so long, so faithfully, and so zealously,
had felt it his duty to resign. (Hear, hear.) He then
moved the watch rate of 1 37-40 d. in the pound be levied,
and that Mr. Neilson be appointed head constable for the
collection of the rate.—Agreed to.
The proceedings of the Dock Committee having been
read,

CH ARLES TURNER.

THE REFORMATION SOCIETY.

On Tuesday evening, a meeting of the British Society
for promoting the Religious Principles of the Reforma-
tion was held in the Music-hall, Bold-street. George
Finch, Esq., late M.P. for Stamford, and the Rev. John
Cumming, Secretary for Scotland, attended as a deputa-
tion from the parent society. Every part of the spacious
building was crowded with respectable auditors.
The Rev. H. M'NEILE was unanimously called to the
chair.

Prayer having then been offered up by the Rev F.
Parry,

Mr. BIRKETT said a statement had been made in one of
the public papers, (the Albion,) by a member of the Dock
Committee, (Mr. Evans,) which had a tendency to un-
settle the bondholders' security. He thought it extremely
objectionable that such a statement should go uncontra-
dieted.
Mr. EVANS expressed his willingness to re-open the
subject, and to controvert the financial statements made
upon the last day by Mr. Nicol.
Mr. MoottE thought the statements of Mr. Evans alto-
gether fallacious ; and if the subject were inquired into he
should be prepared to show the fallacy of Mr. Evan's own
figures. But in order to show that the letter of the gen-
tleman in question had not produced any alarm in the
minds of the bondholders, he had only to state that bonds
were selling at present at three per cent. premium.
The proceedings were confirmed.
The proceedings of the Improvement, Courts of Law,
Markets, Education, and Town-hall Establishment Com-
mittees were also confirmed.

Ttia
Rev. CHAIRMAN proceeded to explain the princi-
ples and objects of the society in behalf of which they
were assembled. The work, he said, is, the defence and
diffusion—defence against the hostile, and diffusion among
the ignorant—of the religious principles of the Protestant
Reformation. It is not willingly, as a matter of abstract
preference for its own sake, that we are engaged in the
contention inseparable from this work. Peace and ease
are objects of attraction to us as to other men, and if we
had no objects of more powerful attraction because of
more paramount importance. we would rest in peace and
ease. The real cause of our conduct is this, we believe
our Bibles ; and so long as the Bible remains the final and
sufficient standard of Christian truth and Christian duty,
it must continue to be a Christian duty earnestly to con-
tend for the integrity of Christian truth. (Hear.) We
are fully aware of the repugnance, the seemingly amiable,
and charitable, and kind repugnance, to all contention
which we have to meet. We are aware of the prima'
facie advantage which the advocates of peace and har-
mony possess with the public. We are aware of the skill
with which that advantage has been worked. At this time,
and in this country, the policy of Rome is apparent peace,
and consequently her practice is denial of all that would
justify contention. The principles we impute to her are
denied, although announced in the very words of her own
publicly authorised, accredited, and unrescinded formu-
laries. (Hear, hear.) The practices we impute to her
are denied, although transcribed from the pages of authen-
tic history. We know with what consummate talent, and
with what encouraging success, this game was played by
the late learned prelate Dr. Baines, Bishop of Siga, where-
ever that see is situate—(laughter)—and factor for Rome,
at Prior-park, in the city of Bath, and throughout the
southwestern counties of England. We know how, at
the opening of new Roman Catholic chapels,-built in a
great measure by contributions from deceived Protestants
—(hear, hear)—and among the rest at the opening of St.
Anthony's, in this town. he managed, under the profes-
sion of expounding the Roman faith, to gloss over, mys-
tify, or deny all the peculiar and distinctive principles of
Romanistn—(hear, hear)—so that Protestant gentlemen,
attracted there by curiosity, returned thence quite charmed
with the meekness, urbanity, and winning gentleness of
the good bishop. We know that similar success is now
attending similar practices, as carried on by Dr. Wise-
man the bishop of Melipotamus, another outlandish see,
—(laughter)—who is doing Rome's work in the midland
counties of England. Full well we know that the denials
of these gentlemen are palatable, because they plead for
peace, and that our associations are unpalatable ,because
they invite to contention. We perceive also, that what is
called, though most improperly, the liberal section of our
population, however widely they may differ from Roman.
ists in anything else, agree with them cordially in their
opposition to the gospel and to us. (Hear.) And as the
Romanists accuse us of obloquy, so these accuse us of
bigotry and uncharitableness. On this side also our op-
ponents seem to plead for peace, while again upon us is
thrown, with skill and effect, the appearance of wilful
contention. (Hear and cheers.) We are not ignorant of,
or insensible to, the many disadvantages of our position.
It is with our eyes open, having counted the cost, and
seriously considered the alternative, that we have occu-
pied, and continue to maintain it. The cost is loss of
reputation for judgement and discretion and moderation
among men whose good opinion we enjoy in other respects,
and value in every respect ; the alternative is, as we firmly
believe, unfaithfulness towards God. Therefore we can-
not hesitate. We believe it is better, far better, for men
to disagree about truth, than to agree in falsehood ; bet-
ter, far better, to disagree about religion and holiness,
than to agree in irreligion and sin. (Much applause.)
As to mis-atatements, unfounded calumnies, and all such
charges so freely inculcated against us, our simple answer
is, we do not make any. It is easy to assert without
proof, and a press which boasts its liberty and high prin-
ciple takes the liberty of asserting roundly, not only with-
out proof, but in direct opposition to counter-proof,
which counter-proof is wilfully suppressed by the same
free press. (Hear, hear.) Amongst all the charges of
maligning the Church of Rome, advanced and reiterated
by a large portion of the press of this town, against your
present Chairman, not one instance has been specified;
and why ? Simply because not oue instance has occurred.

The proceedings of the Gaol and House of Correction
Committee comprised the recommendation of a graduated
scale of salaries for the sub-officers of the prison, accord-
ing to good conduct and length of service. Resolutions
of the Court of Quarterly Sessions were submitted at the
save time, recommending that the salary of the surgeon
of the prison be increased from £lOO to £2OO per annum,
in consequence of great increase of the number of pri-
soners since the committals to Kirkdale have ceased.
Mr. MooRE. and Mr. PARKER strongly objected to any
increase of salary in those cases.
Mr. BOUTFLOWER supported the increase to the sur-
geon, and in doing so, said he could speak feelingly on the
subject, as he was a medical man himself. His opinion
was that medical men were never remunerated, and he
appealed to the gentlemen of the law present whether they
would work for the salaries that medical men generally
received ?

Mr. PARKER, seconded by Mr. BIRKETT, moved as an
amendment that the proceedings with respect to the in-
crease to the turnkeys be referred back.
The council divided, when there appeared—For the
amendment, 12. Against it, 17.
It having been intimated by the Mayor that the increase
was intended to have a retrospective effect to the Ist of
January, 1843,
Mr. BIRKETT moved another amendment, to the effect
that the increase take place from and after that day, Feb.
7,1843.

Mr. KILSHAW seconded the amendment.
The council divided, when there appeared—For the
amendment, 25. Against it, 7.

The increase of the surgeon's salary was then postponed
until the next monthly council.

The sealing of the bonds for loans under the new gaol
act, towards the cost of the new prison, to borrow £lO,OOO
for such purpose, was then directed.
The proceedings of the Health of the Town Committee,
which comprised a recommendation to extend the time
until the Ist of May for ejecting the occupants of cellars,
were read and confirmed.

The proceedings of the Fire Committee, comprising a
report on the necessity of alterations of the act in some
respects in the present session, were next read. The pro-
posed alterations had reference to the 26th section, which
restricts the places of deposit for oil, turpentine, chemi-
cals of an inflammable nature, &c. &c., and the commit-
tee deemed it their duty to urge an immediate amend-
ment of the act in the present session.

Some discussion followed, at the close of which the pro-
ceedings were confirmed.
The MAYOR said he had received a copy of the deposi-
tions taken on the inquest held on the body of Mr. Ben-
jamin' Mackrill, who met his death by an accident re-
ceived in landing at the Pier ; and also a letter from the
Borough Coroner, in which that gentleman called atten-
tion to the evidence of Mr. Askew, and expressed the
wish of the jury that something should be done to improve
the landing places.
Mr. NORTH was of opinion that the death of the de-
ceased was entirely owing to the extremely inadequate
conveniences for landing. He then gave notice that he
should submit a motion on an early day to the effect that
a special committee be appointed for the management of
the landing places, with power to obtain some legislative

enactor. nt in the present session, with a view to so,ne (Hear and cheers.) If such an instance hail occurred it

The motion not having been seconded fell to the ground, done.
concluded by callinc, upon
and the council adjourned at ten minutes to four o'clock. tleman
.George Finch, Esq., to
address the meeting.
Mr. Fisica said he conceived they ought to esteem the
obloquy to which they bad been exposed a high privilege.
They were only in that respect partakers with our Lord
and his Apostles; In the days of Nero, the Christians
were accused of setting fire to Rome. He did not agree
with the Chairman that they would incur as much odium
as himself, and for this reason, that they had not done as
much to deserve it. (Hear and cheers.) Since the last
time he was in Liverpool, during the discussion between
Mr. Dalton and Mr. Falvey, the society had been making
great progress. The society was called the British Refor- '
mation Society. Its principles were those which are con-
tained in the Book of God. They were to be found in
the standards of the various reformed churches. He
felt that some apology was required for their abstinence
from politics, intimately connected as these were and
nalst be with religion. They professed not to be a great
national society, but a home missionary society : they
. came forward to take up the irregular work which was
rendered necessary by the irregular proceedings of the
Roman Catholics,—to meet and counteract the manifold
and desultory efforts of the emissaries of Rome amongst
the population. For this purpose the absence from poli-
tics had many advantages. He referred to the thirty
years' war in Germany and to the religious wars in France,
as well as to what had taken place in our own country
under Henry, Mary, and Elizabeth, to show the spirit
which religious controversies in connexion with politics
engendered. On this account, unless there was something
of paramount importance forcing them into politics, they
had, he thought, a manifest advantage in keeping away
from them. The religious prejudices in the minds of
Romanists were too strong to make it expedient to add
to them the many prejudices of a political kind which
weighed upon the minds of that class of the population
of this country. He thought this character of the society
would rather raise it in the estimation of Christians, how-
ever it might lower it in the opinion of worldly men.
Mr. Finch went on to show from the nature of the super-
stitions and delusions of Romanism, the importance of
the work in which the Reformation Society was employed.
The object of the society was two-fold :to warn Protes-
tants against the errors of Romanism, and to endeavour
to win Romanists to the embracing of the truth. There
was no place where this work ought to be carried on upon
a more effective scale than in Liverpool, chiefly on account
of the great number of Roman Catholics residing in and
passing through the town. Much might be done in this
way to the evangelising of Ireland. The feelings with
which this work should be engaged in were those of hu-
mility, patience, meekness, and torbearance. In addition
to these, there should be a correct knowledge of Protes-
tantism ; in order to obtain which, those who undertook
to act as missionaries in connection with it should get
themselves indortrined by their respective pastors. The
seminal principle of the Romish error he believed to be,
that the Church of Rome made a distinction between sins
before and sins after baptism. For the former there was
forgiveness by the merits of Christ al ,ne ; against the
latter he was represented as being angry: and here the
intercession of the Virgin and the saints was called in.
On this point Protestants must be clearly informed, or.
they would never succeed against Roman Catholics
(Hear.) Mr. Finch then pointed out the advantages this
country possessed for the encouragement of missionary
enterprises, and the responsibilities arising therefrom ;
and concluded by an urgent exhortation to zeal and per-
severance in the cause.
The Rev. JOHN CUMMING recommended the persons
connected with the press in Liverpool, to whom allusion
had been made, to inform themselves of some of the prin-
ciples of Romanism. He would advise them to read the
encyclical letter of Gregory the XVI, which had been be-
fore the world since 1832; by which they would see, that
if Rome had her way, the thumb-screw would soon be
upon their hands. How did Pope Gregory speak of that
boasted liberty of the press in which these persons gloried
so much ? This was his language. " The never to be
sufficiently execrated and detested liberty of the press."
(Hear and loud cheers.) If those members of the press
of Liverpool, then, really cared for the liberty of the
press, how deply-rooted in their minds ought to be the
sentiment "No peace with Rome !" The Church of
Rome was no less inimical to liberty of conscience than
to the liberty of the press. Of this charge Mr. Cumming
likewise offered proofs, as well as of its idolatry and
blasphemy, in the worship which it paid to the Virgin
Mary. He believed that until every clergyman followed
theAxample of their excellent chairman, they would never
suolllied in spreading the Gospel throughout old and happy
England. There were some who wished to see the rose
without any thorns, the atmosphere without any storms,
and the millennium coming to-morrow in all its peace and
uninterrupted beauty ; but thorns are needful to defend
the rose, storms to purify the atmosphere, and there never
would be a millennium of peace until a millennium of
truth and righteouness should have been established over
all the earth. (Applause.) It had been argued as an
apology for Rome, that there were truths in that church.
This was the fact. Them were truths in Hindooism and
many of the other infidel systems of the day. Satan's
policy, with regard to Rome, was to gild the bill.
The Rev. Mr. WNEILE here expressed his regret at
being obliged to leave the meeting. The chair was
I taken, amid loud applause, by the Rev. Fielding Ould.
Mr. CUMMING then proceeded to remark upon the
various expedients of the Church of Rome to circulate its
influence throughout the world. He confessed that when
he saw men drawing from the wardrobe of Aaron, with a
view of decorating the church, he began to think that
there was something which they wished to conceal. " The
king's daughter was all glorious within," not without,
and her beauty was a moral beauty. lie wished the opera-
tive classes to be able to meet the salient points advanced
in support of Popery in a short compass. The readiest
mode of proving the existence of error was to contrast it
with what had been written by the Apostles. The ques-
tion had nothing to do with chronology, out with the
law and the testimony. In one sense, Roman Catholic-
ism was old ; for its members would appear before God
in a robe of their own righteousness, too short and too
narrow to cover them. He believed Cain was the first
Romish priest, and Abel the first Protestant martyr. It
was the height of effrontery for the Church of Rome to
ask where the Protestant Church was before the Refor-
mation, when she knew well that her own persecutions
had been the means of driving it out of almost all coun-
tries. Prior to the period of the Reformation, the Pro-
testant Church was in the cold iron death-grasp of a per-
secuting church ; and it was only when Cranmer, Latimer,
Ridley-, and other martyrs rescued it from that gray, that
it shot up and bloomed into those churches which are at
once the gory, the bulwarks, and the ornaments of all
lands. (Cheers.) The Roman Catholics were building
gingerbread cathedrals at present, thereby showing that
they had given up the claim to the Protestant cathedrals.
He then proceeded to combat the doctrine of infallibility,
and to eulogise the character of the Church of England.
He said, the stones of the latter church were living stones,
her cement living cement, her foundations the rock of
ages, on the top of which there was a glory which was
met by the blending beams of righteousness and truth.
She had not only a true priest, and a true altar, but she
had a true sacrifice also ; whereas the Church of Rome
was the mistress of iniquity, Babylon the great, drunk
with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus.
The points which separated the Churches of England and
Scotland were microscopic, for the articles of the one and
the confession of faith of the other were everlasting as the
attributes of God, enduring and immutable as eternity.
The rev, gentleman sat down amidst great applause, after
which a collection was made.
The CHAIRMAN called upon the meeting to return
thanks by acclamation to the two gentlemen who had
given the meeting such a feast of truth. He hoped the
deputation would soon return again to Liverpool, where
there were Protestants who loved the Reformation and
did not denounce John Knox. He hoped also, that all
who held the head would unite—that there would be unity
at least, if there was not conformity. He contended that
it was the duty of all Protestants to join in such a work
as the present, at such a time as this. Popery was active
in the United Kingdom ; she had her tracts and her sisters
of mercy, or, as he woud call them, her pitiful sisters;
and, at such a time, should Protestants be slothful, because,
of the ribaldry of an infidel press ? (Loud applause.)
The meeting concluded with the singing of the dox-
ology.

BACHELORS' FANCY DRESS BALL.

This ball, which took place on Thursday evening last,
forms one in a series of brilliant entertainments which
have for a long period been given, at intervals of about
three years, by a club of the unmarried members of society.
Among the groups that attracted most attention was
the party of the Earl of Sefton, who arrived soon after nine
o'clock—consisting of Lord and Lady Sefton, Sir Hussey
and Lady Vivian, Sir John, Lady, and Captain Gerard,
Captains Brooks and M`Bride, &c.—the gentlemen in
military costumes, the ladies in fancy dresses. These
were speedily followed by Mr J. N. Walker. and a large
party, from Calderstone—consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
Walker, Sir Edward and Lady Walker, Major Ford, Mr.
Rigby, Mr. Corbet,
Miss Walker, Miss Hesketh, &c.
Mr. Walker was superbly apparelled as a Highland chief,
and became the tartan like one whose font was familiar
with the heather, and his hand accustomed to distribute
largesse in a princely mountain home. It may not beout
of place to mention here, that another numerous party as-
sembled early in the evening at Miss slundell's, Aber-
cromby-square, and thence proceeded to the ball room,
their entrance into which, as was also that of each arrival,
being watched with wondering delight by eager crowds,
who assembled at the doors ; but all of whom, we are glad
to say, conducted themselves with the greatest propriety
and decorum.
The following are the names and costumes of nearly
every one who was present, as far as it is desirable to give
