members of the House of Commons had been induced,
through the representation of the delegates, to abandJo
their intention of not opposing the government. Amongst
the speakers were the Rev. Dr. T. D. Gregg, many other
church clergymen and dissenting ministers, as well as
laymen, and some hard sarcastic hits were dealt out to the
prime movers of the goverment measure, which excited
no little laughter. It was unanimously resolved, that
united meetings should be held on the return of the de-
puties to their several localities, and that the providence
of God should be acknowledged by special prayer on Sun-
day the 18th instant.
The fifth and last meeting took place at the Crown an'l
Anchor, on Saturday, the same chairman presiding. In
th course of the proceedings he read a long letter from Dr.
Chalmers, of Edinburgh, calling upon all to unite against
the grant. A vast number of clergymen and others ad-
dressed the meeting. A resolution was passed recording
gratitude to God for the character and results df the con-
ference, and the unanimity that had marked its proceed-
ings, and for the testimonies forwarded from all parts of
the kingdom, and all classes, of determined oppos'tion to
the bill. A closing resolution conveyed a high compli-
ment to Sir C. E. Smith, who feelingly returned thanks,
and after a hymn and prayer the conference broke up.

Owing to the facilities afforded by railways, the inmost
towns of the kingdom are now supplied with the luxury
of fresh fish. During the past month the Liverpool
market has been well supplied with excellent Severn sal-

or its interests; for the very great kindness shown towards
the boys under his charge, as visitor; and for his gra-
tuitous services as treasurer of the society since its com-
mencement. Mr. Gray, in a feeling manner, returned
thanks for the kindness evinced towards him on this
occasion, and assured them that as long as he continued
to recollect that he had once been an inmate of the Blue
Coat School. he would continue to feel that interest he
had felt in behalf of the society, the mention of which
always gave him great pleasure. The evening's enter-
tainments were prolonged till about eleven o'clock, when
the members separated. The society is composed of per-
sons who have been educated in the school from which it
takes its name, and has for its object the assisting of young
boys from the same place, who are now serving as appren-
tices. Mr, Gray, who was once an inmate, is now, after
a faithful career of upwards of fifty years, filling the
onerous office of assistant overseer of this parish.
SEAMAN'S CLAIM FOR WAGES.—At the police-court,
yesterday, a man, named John Linton, who had gone out
to Africa as cooper of the ship Silk, and had shipped in
July last year, claimed from Messrs. Lovett and Curran,
the owners, wages to the amount of £lB 45., alleged to
be due to him. According to the claimant's statement,
he had performed the voyage out and home, and had ar-
rived back in this port in January, but had not before
applied to Mr. Rushton, he having been very ill from the
treatment he had received. He had, he said, gone with
some of the crew in the long-boat, and having been de-
tained by the natives, seven of his companions fell sick
and died. lie afterwards became frost-bitten, and had
not been able again to go to work until about four weeks
but he had appl,ed to the owners on his arrival, and
was advised by them to apply to Mr. Rushton. Tbis he
had not then done, being so ill. Mr. Rushton said
that as he had since been at work for some weeks, he
might have applied before now, and before the captain,

officiated as incumbent of St. George's Church, Everton,
selection worthy of the Bishop's Nell-known discern-

not have met with a gentleman possessing in a more emi-

again meet. _

parish of Sr. Bees, in 1519 ; and there are at the present
time several families living in the village and parish bear-
ing the name. His grace was successively Bishop of Lon-
don, Archbishop of York, and Archbishop of Canterbury.
He was of course the contemporary of John Fox, and had
the great advantage of having the firm patronage of the
blessed but ill-fated martyr Ridley. If the excellent
Archbishop could now inspect the course of education
afforded at this imperishable seat of his liberality, he
would no doubt rejoice to see his beneficent intentions so
religiously observed and so ably carried out. It is, of
course, impossible to form any estimate of the advantages
spread far and wide by the young men who have ben
educated at this school, for they have been congregated
there from all parts of the world. •
The Collegiate Institution is of comparatively modern
date, having been founded about a quarter of a century
since by Dr. Law, the then Bis Lop of Chester, who ap-
pointed the Rev. William Ainger, D.D., formerly fellow
of St. John's College, Cambridge, and prebendary of
Chester, the first Principal of the college. The Doctor
engaged as his assistant the Rev. R. Parkinson, who re-
mained at St. Bees until his appointment to one of the
Canonries at- the Collegiate Church, Manchester, the •
duties of which the reverend gentleman discharges at
present. Dr. Ainger died on the 20th October, 1840,
aged 55, having been perpetual curate of the parish for i
twenty-four years. A plain tombstone is erected over his ago,
grave in the churchyard, and the students who had re-
ceived his Christian instruction and advice erected within
the church a plain marble monument, surmounted by a
well-executed bust of the excellent and learned Doctor,
