life which presented to the mind a love of travel

their minds only be sanctified and hallowed, and then
young men, instead of going abroad to see the world, or
in search of lucrative situations—in search of the shining'
dust which is of no value in the hour of death—would
seek an infinitely more noble wealth than ever was exhi-
bited on their exchange. He confessed he could not help
a blush from suffusing his face when he heard it stated
that the Church Missionary Society had only one repre-
sentative in the Chinese empire. What was Rome doing?
Did she leave the ground to be unoccupied? No ! She
bad her sixty or seventy Jesuits spread over the face of
the country. What was Liverpool doing ? He thought
it was distinguished for its Protestantism, and yet they
could not erect a college for education of a scriptural
character, but a reptile Jesuitical institution must be
erected in the same neighbourhcod—a poor imitation of it.
(Loud cheers, and bear, hear.) The Church of Rome like
a great snake was busily employed encircling the church
in its folds, intending to crush it and with it all our liber-
ties, boht social and civil ; but by the help of the
Lord it never shall be. (Loud cheers.) It was not
merely the Church of Christ which they had to
defend but our own liberties—our own glory as a nation.
(Cheers.) Were there any young men present willing to
go out to the heathen world as missionaries ? Were there
any present ready to recruit for the army of the faithful ?
He had no doubt there were hundreds in this town who
would be delighted with cadetships in India, though
they had to step into the places of those whose blood
dyed the waters of the Sutlej. (Cheers.) How was it that
the honor which came from man was so eagerly sought af-
ter when that which would endure for ever—the honour

came from above was comparatively neglected? How
was it that man should desire a place in the records of
fame of this world when he vras regardless of the fame
which would be recorded in the imperishable records of

through the revolving ages of eternity. (Applause.)
Another field for missionary enterprise was opened in the

unjaub. He bad lately had an opportunity of break-
fasting with the good bishop of Calcutta whom he was
thankful to be able to say was about returning to India
with renovated health and renewed energy of mind, to
lay, as he said, his bones in his Episcopate. His lordship
f told him that when sailing on the waters of the Sutlej,

said to himself, " I take possession of the l'un-
jaub in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!' How
little did he think at that time that he was uttering a pro-
phecy which was so soon to be fulfilled. _ Now the whole

country was open to him, and should God open out a
country to them, and would they not occupy it?—

(Applause.) He hoped the Christian friends prWent that
morning would give such a contribution as would enable
Mr. Davies to return to the parent society, and to say
that Liverpool gad commenced a subscription which
would meet the wants of China and India. (Loud cheers.)
The resolution, having been put from the chair, was
unanimously adopted.
A collection was made during the singing of " All hail
the power of Jesu's name"; after which, the Worshipful
Chairman most pathetically delivered the apostolical be-
nediction, and the meeting separated.

The following are the amounts received, on Sunday, at

* Half to the Gospel Propagation Society.
An adjourned meeting of the Association will be held
in the Amphitheatre this (Tuesday) evening.

The Rev. J. W. Gouring, late of St. Matthew's Church,
in this town, and who is now unfortunately afflicted with
blindness, has just published a small pamphlet, entitled
" The Church, and what it is, being traces of the real
Church of the Living God during the first two centuries."
At the annual meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid So-
ciety, on Tuesday, Lord Ashley, as chairman, acknow-
ledged the receipt, through the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, of
£364 9s. as a special contribution from some friends of
that institution in this town. In the reporrtbe committee
acknowledged themselves to be under deep obligations to
Liverpool, as, in addition to this sum, the receipts there
had trebled during the pact year. It may be remembered
that, at the meeting of the Liverpool auxiliary of the
society, in February last, Mr. M'Neile promised to wipe
away the disgrace that attached to the town, of receiving
more from the society than the town contributed, and
the rev. gentleman has thus amply redeemed his promise.

the Fourth Inn, in Waterloo-road, in the neighbourhood;
and being recognized as he went to the house, an immense
mob collected round it (at the bottom of Stewart-
street, demanding the " murderer." Air. Inspector
Johnson, was early on the spot, at first with only font
police cfficers, and by the most strenuous, yet temperate
exertions, prevented the house from being broken up and
gutted. The assailants twice forced one of the doors, but
were gallantly repulw.d. The family of Mr. Hickson, in-
cluding Mrs. H., and several young ladies—her daughter
and others—•were dreadfully alarmed, but a reinforcement
of police-officers were got up, and protected the house,
though unable to do so until many panes of glass were
broken by the infuriated mob, who (men and boys) as-
sailed the officers with successive showers of stones, pieces
of brick, &c. Immense crowds, including females and
children, continued to gather in the streets adjacent for a
period of about two hours, bent upon mischief.
The whole of that part of Waterloo-road, Stewart-street,
Oil-street, &c., presented, from time to time, dense
masses of the lower classes, chiefly Irish, who seemed to be
much inclined for a bloody affray, but the disturbance was
quelled by about nine o'clock. After all, the passenger
who had been ejected from the ship remained only a few
