WARRINGTON BLUE COAT SCHOOL

The lively interest which James Greaves, Esq., Mill-bank,
Cheshire, has long taken in the welfare of that institution,
has been well appreciated by the trustees and friends of the
school ; and the paternal kindness which he has unceasingly
evinced towards the children gave rise to sentiments of grati-
tude withi❑ their bosoms, creditable to themselves, as well as
justly due to their benefactor. To give expression to these
feelings, the female pupils of the school spontaneously under-
took to execute two pieces of needlework, an appropriate and
permanent token of their gratitude. These beautiful and
well-wrought specimens of skill and industry, neatly made up
into two ottomans, were presented to Mr. Greaves at his
residence, on Friday last. The following inscription, tastefully
formed in needlwork, appears on the loose cover of each :

PRESENTED TO JAMES GREAVES, ESQUIRE,
OF MILL-BANK, CHESHIRE,
BY THE CHILDREN OF

THE WARRINGTON BLUE COAT SCHOOL,

AS A MARK OF THEIR AFFECTION AND GRATITUDE
FOR HIS LONG-CONTINUED
ATTENTION AND KINDNESS TO THEM.
May health and peace attend you here,
And ev'ry joy above,
While we improve with grateful hearts,
The labour of your love.
Warrington, 12th May, 1843.

After a plentiful dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding, in
the true old English style, served to the happy group under
the umbrageous shade of the overhanging trees, and when the
friends whom Mr. Greaves had invited to be present on the
occasion had also partaken of his hospitality, the children,
conducted by Mr. and Mrs. Forester, and attended by Wil-
liam Stretch Esq., their excellent Treasurer, who is always

at his post when the interest of the Institution is to be served,
the Rev. P. S. Dale, incumbent of Hollinfare, and his lady,
(this gentleman is always amongst the foremost to contribute
to the innocent enjoyment of those poor children,) Mr. and
Mrs. Wolfe, of Rixton-hall, were also present, and a nume-
rous company formed a circle in the grounds adjoining the
house, when one of the boys addressed their worthy host in
these terms :

HONOURED SlR,—Permit me most respectfully to state,
that nay schoolfellows have selected me to perform the pleas-
ing duty of presenting to you these two ottomans, as the tri-
bute of grateful hearts, and a small acknowledgement of that
paternal kindness which the children of the Warrington Blue
Coat School have so long experienced at your hands. We
are indeed highly gratified, that our conduct should have se-
cured your approbation, and we earnestly hope, through the
care of Almighty God, that our future conduct in this world
will be such as to deserve your approval. Kind Sir, that
you may long live to witness our future attemps to do our
duty to God and our fellow-creatures, is the ardent wish and
prayer of the orphan and fatherless of our school. In con-
clusion allow me most heartily to thank you for your kind-
ness on this—to us—memorable day."
To this address, which was delivered by the youthful
speaker with great propriety, Mr. Greaves responded in a
most feeling and affectionate manner.

The philanthrophic sentiments he expressed were listened
to by his young guests with marked attention, upon whose
young hearts they were calculated to make a beneficial
and lasting impression. Mr. G. spoke in high terms of the
peculiar fitness of Mr. and Mrs. Foster for their situation,
and of the effective services which they had rendered to the
institution.

Mr. Forster, in an animated speech, eulogised the unpre-
cedented kindness and attention which Mr. Greaves had so
repeatedly bestowed upon the children. He also acknow-
ledged the very hospitable manner in which the whole com-
pany had been treated.
_

• The day, with the exception of some passing showers, was
fine. while the beauty of the season, and the hilarity of the
children, who, at intervals, gave fresh animation to the scene
with their excellent baud, made it a delightful treat to all.
Joy at beholding the happiness of others seemed universal.
This Mersey and Irwell Navigation Company afforded, on
this occasion, as they have kindly done on their former ex-
cursions, a free passage to the children in their steam-
packet.

Sir R. Peel was born in 178 S, Lord John Russell 1792,
Lord Stanley 1300, the Duke of Wellington, 1769, and Lord
Brougham 1779.

The important office of President of the Board of Control,
vacant by the lamented death of Lord Fitzgerald, has not
been filled up ; there is no doubt but that the Earl of Ripon
will have the appointment, and that Mr. Gladstone will suc-
ceed the noble earl as President of the Board of Trade, with
a seat in the Cabinet. No one is at present mentioned as
the probable successor of Mr. Gladstone, as Vice-President
of the Board of Trade.—Standard.

KIRKBY LONSDAI.R.—On Monday last, the farmers and
others who supply the inhabitants of this town with milk,
consented to a reduction of a halfpenny per quart in the
price of the new milk, it being now sold at threebalfpence,
instead of twopence as heretofore ; and on Thursday reduced
the blue or skim-milk to two quarts for thrsehalfpence, in-
stead of a penny per quart, the price at which it was before
sold.

The library of the late Duke of Sussex is likely to be

forthwith distributed, except it be purchased by the British
Museum, to which body the executors have injunctions in
the first instance to offer it. For that purpose Messrs.
Evans are valuing it. Should that he declined, it is ex-
pected that it will then be offered to the public. There are
upwards of 45,000 volumes, said to be in excellent bindings
and condition, independently of an immense number of
valuable MSS. of the Holy Scriptures, consisting of early
copies, &c.

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD.—lmportant alterations are to
be made in some of the colleges in this university. Baliol
is to undergo thorough repair, the direction of which was
entrusted to Mr. Pugin, the celebrated catholic architect.
The master of the college objected to the employment of
this gentleman, and Mr. Pugin's engagement is, conse-
quently, broken off. St. John's and All Souls' Colleges will
also receive decorations during the course of the summer ;
and some new buildings are to be added to University Col-
lege. The dirt, which has been accumulating for many
years, covers many beautiful specimens of art in the respec-
tive colleges, the existence of which is scarcely known.
ROBBERY AT LORD FITZGERALD'S MANSION.—On Satur-
day a daring robbery was committed at the residence of Lord
Fitzgerald, Belgrave-square, London, at midday. The rob-
bery was especially odious from the fact of the body of the
deceased earl being then upon the premises, and that awful
circumstance being to its fullest extent taken advantage of.
.At 12-o'clock that day the tailor and milliner to the establish-
ment attended at the house to measure the servants for
mourning. They were all ordered up into the drawing-room,
and immediately afterwards a chaise-cart drove up to the
door, two men descended from it into the area, proceeded to
the butler's pantry, took up the plate-chest, carried it up the
area steps, put it into the cart, and drove off. So coolly was
the robbery committed that two female servants who met the

wen carrying the chest away never imagined but that it was
by order, and let them pass. The error was, however, soon
discovered, and a pursuit, fruitless in its result, was made
after the men. The value of the plate stolen was upwards of
£3OO. Two persons, one a carman, and the other a steward

of his lordship, have been examined before the magistrates,
and both have been remanded.

FOREIGN Au) SOCIRTY.—The twenty-third annual mee-

ting of the above society, in connection with the Socidtds
Evang.lique of France and Geneva, and the Society Christi-
anisme Protestante at Bordeaux, was held on Wednesday,
in the lower room, Exeter Hall, the Marquis ot Cholmonde-
ley in the chair. his lordship opened the business of the day
by a few preliminary remarks, and called upon the secretary
to read the report. The growing interest and importance of
the society had occasioned much additional responsibility on
the part of the committee. Its operations had extended over
the whole of Europe, and it was the only Society occupied in

missionary labour on the Continent. It aimed at the revival
amongst the Protestant Churches of France, Italy, and the
Peninsular, of the genuine doctrines of the glorious Reforma-
tion. The number of persons in France professing the reform-
ed faith was 1,500,000; in Italy, 2,000,000 ; in Germany, in-
cludiug Austria and Prussia, 20,000,000 ; in Prussia,
1,200,000; in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, 1,500,000; in
Russia, 1,000,000 making a total of 38,000.000. All these
were within the scope of the society's aid. In Denmark one

agent was employed; in Belgium one ; and at Lisbon, until
recently, the mission was conducted by the Rev. Vincent
Gomez. It was no part of the society's design to interfere
with the discipline of the reformed churches of France, or to
favour the interests of dissent from those churches. The
number of colporteurs engaged at Geneva was seldom less
than 50, each of whom received 20 francs. The sum expen-
ded in this department amounted to £1,500 annually. The
" evangelisation " department continued to be prosperous.
The whole expenditure of the Genevan Society had fallen
short of £3,000, towards which the Foreign Aid Society had
given ..£3%. The society in France had employed during the
past year 69 agents and had educated 25 young persons. The
society began the year with a debt of 27,000 f; the expendi-
ture had been 119,000 f. The Socite Christianisme had ex-
pended £6OO, of which they had received the sum of £125
from the Foreign Aid Society for the year was £1,738, being
a larger sum than had been received at any former period.

MOST ATROCIOUS AND ALARMING OUTRAGE
BY A PARTY OF ARMED TURN-OUTS-SEVERAL
MEN SHOT.

MANCHESTr:II, W£DNESDAY.—AbOIIt eleven o'clock
last night, a most alarming and riotous outrage was com-
mitted by a large body of men, principally brickmakers,
armed with guns, pistols, bludgeons, pickshafts, and other
weapons, on the brickcroft of Messrs. Pauling and Henfrey,
a short distance from this town, on the Eccles new road.
The mob made a forcible entry on the premises, and in the
most savage manner commenced firing on the parties sta-
tioned there, with the evident intention of murdering or
maiming them, and destroyed everything'within their reach.
Owing to some disputes betwixt Mr. Pauling and his men, a
turn-out of the brickmakers took place two or three months
ago ; their place was, of course, supplied by fresh hands ; and
ever since a system of annoyance and intimidation, frequently
accompanied by acts of violence, has been pursued towards
the new hands.
The brickcroft which has been the scene of this murderous
outrage is situate on the right hand side of the Eccles new
road, about 200 yards beyond the Cross-lane toll-bar. Near
the centre of the ground is a cottage, which was occupied by
Mr. Ralph Fletcher, the manager and overlooker. Close to
the house are two large kilns of bricks, containing about
100,000, which they had just commenced burning.. A third
kiln at a little distance contained about 50,000 more. On
the night in question there were eleven men on the premises,
along with Mr. Fletcher, who had been led to apprehend
that an attack on them would be made; and about ten
o'clock this small force was augmented, by Butterworth, one
of the Salford beadles, being sent there by Mr. Diggles, the
deputy constable, in consequence of an application from Mr.
Fletcher for assistance. In anticipation of some such attack
as occurred, Mr. Fletcher and his men, and the private
watchmen, were armed, having amongst them four blunder-
busses, five guns, and three brace of pistols ; Butterworth
was not armed,
Things were in this posture at ten minutes after eleven
o'clock, when their attention was first roused by the dis-
charge of two guns, at what is called the top of the Croft,
which is the end nearest the toll-bar. At ten minutes after
that, the mob made their appearance in great numbers, sonic
of the witnesses estimated them at between 300 and 400, but
probably their fears, and the darkness of the night, might
lead them to exaggerate the number. As far as could be ob-
served, they all had fire-arms of some description or other,
which they proceeded to use in the best way they were able.
They rushed tumultuously along the Croft, towards Mr.
Fletcher's house, treading down in their way vast quantities
of bricks, in the soft state, which were spread out upon the
flats. Mr. Fletcher and his party had taken up a position
behind the house, the mob fired upon them ; the men re-
turned their fire ; about ten volleys were fired on each side,
and the affray lasted a quarter of an hour. Fortunately,
owing to the darkness of the night, and the unskilful manner
in which the ruffians directed their pieces, not a single shot
took effect, though the two watchmen were severely injured
by blows from the butt ends of guns. On the other hand,
the firing of the defenders of the property, though their num-
bers were small, told most severely on the mob, several of
whom were wounded.
Shortly after their entering on the ground, the mob sepa-
rated into two divisions, one of which stood aloof, firing at

the men, as above described, while the other division forced

thrir way into Mr. Fletcher's house, breaking the door with
a large pick-axe, which they had brought with them for the
purpose. Having thus effected an entrance, the house was
instantly filled with armed ruffians, all of them having either
guns or pistols. Their avowed intention was to murder Mr.
Fletcher ; but the only persons in the house were Mrs.
Fletcher, and a poor:woman from Ireland, who, being foot-
sore, and unable to walk any further, had been taken in
through charity on Sunday evening. When the mob entered
Mrs. F. was seated on a chair near the bottom of the stairs,
and a number of them rushed up to her, presenting the guns
and pistols as though to shoot her, which they would most
likely have done, had not one, less inhuman than the rest,
called out, " d—n you, don't kill a woman." One ruffian,
however, struck her with the butt end of his gun, knocked
her from her chair, dashed her head against the flags, kicked
her, and dragged her by the hair from the house into the
house into the brick-croft. She was severely bruised, and
left in a very weak state. One of the mob ran up stairs in
search of Mr. Fletcher, and returned, exclaiming, "The
b—y b—r is not here ; he's given us the slip." This man
was known to Mrs. F. as Michael Bagley, commonly called
" big Mick," and from her description, ho and another man
were afterwards apprehended. The poor Irishwoman being
observed to look at one of them, was also knocked down.
They then smashed the furniture, threw the bread into the
brick-croft, and threw a small table upon the fire. They
they broke into the office adjoining, and attempted to set it
on fire, by burning some wooden seats ; they also carried off
a portion of the furniture.
While these outrages were going on, the thirteen men were
engaged with the rest of the mob outside. The ruffians made
an attempt to surround them, but were prevented doing so
by the continual fire kept up by the men, who, notwithstand-
ing some adverse circumstances, made a most gallant de-
fence. A soldier, who had been engaged as watchman, was
knocked down and disabled, and another man tumbled into
a gutter, and his gun getting wet, was of no further service.
Notwithstanding this, and the disparity of numbers, the
mob were compelled to retreat. Before doing so, they com-
menced pulling down the new kilns, intending to destroy all
the bricks ; but here the fire of the men proved too hot for
them, and they were compelled to relinquish their purpose.
The portion of the mob who had taken possession of the
house were also compelled to evacuate it, and they then
effected their retreat, which was done at the command of one
who acted as their leader, by the lower end of the croft, and
took the road towards Eccles. This was extremely fortunate,
for Mr. Fletcher's men had discharged their last shot, and
must have beer., in a great measure, at the mercy of the
mob, had they remained. Probably the ruffians had also ex-
pended their ammunition, and hence their precipitate retreat.
Mr. Fletcher, accompanied by Mr. Butterworth, the Sal-
ford police-officer, followed them along the road, and found
that they had halted on the other side of Trafford-park View.
Fletcher and Butterworth got behind the hedge, and on
coming up to the place where they were, found them engaged
in counting themselves, or calling over the roll, which they
did by calling out—" No. 1, get your men together ;" and
by the numbers called out, it would appear they were in six
regular divisions, each having its leader, and that several of
the men were missing. They then moved forwards on the
road to Eccles. At Eccles, which is about a mile and a half
distant, the firing had been heard by the county constabu-
lary, and two of them, a sergeant and a constable, were
coming towards the spot, but being warned by a person whom
they met that a large body of armed Men were coming up the
road, they concealed themselves in the hedge-bottom till the
mob had passed, and then followed them. On reaching the
lane which tnrns off towards Seedley, the mob separated ;
the greater portion of them took the road to Seedley, hut
three proceeded on towards Eccles. The police kept their
eye on these men, and when they were a sufficient distance
from the rest, they seized them, and took them to the lock-
ups. They had no fire-arms with them ; but on their being
examined, it was found that one had his boot full of blood,
and that he had been shot pith a ball just above his knee;
and the nails in the boots of another were found, on compa-
rison, exactly to correspond with impressions made on the
clay in the brick-croft.

After Butterworthand Fletcher had heard the mob call
over their divisions, they returned, collected their men, and
went in pursuit, but the mob had dispersed. An alarm was
sent to the Salford police-office; and a party, consisting of
the superintendent of the watch, three inspectors, and 80.
hanna, the beadle, came up in cabs, and pursued some por-
tion of the mob towards Isaac Goodier's Fields ; but they
retreated towards the river Irwell, at Throstle Nest, and got
away. The remainder of the mob got into the back lanes
near Seedley. Their pieces appeared to be loaded with large
heavy balls and slugs; and though the shots flew like hail,
they chiefly went over the heads of the party attacked. The
night was cloudy and dark, and the light from the kilns was,
from their situation, rather a disadvantage than otherwise.
Of the two parties hurt, Lomas had suffered most; he had
been severely beaten with the butt end of a gun or a bludgeon ;
the soldier was slightly wounded in the face, having been
knocked down by the butt end of a gun. A surgeon was sent
for with all convenient speed, and they received the proper
attentions.

The number of bricks destroyed by the trampling of the
mob was about 34,000. The parties, it is thought, must have
fired upwards of 1,000 shots, as the croft was in a perfect
blaze for more than ten minutes ; and though the shots have
done comparatively little execution on those against whom
they were directed, in every part of the croft, especially in
the doors of the buildings and the kilns, there is abundant
evidence in the shot holes, of the plentifulness with which
they have been scattered. Besides fire-arms, the mob were
well provided with large pick-shafts, the handles of pick-
axes. The large pick-axe which they brou,,l,ht with them to
break open the doors, they left on the ground ; and on its
being examined, it proved to be one that had been stolen
from the ground in a former affray. Two pistol ramrods and
some other articles were also found after they had left the field.
The circumstance which led Mr. P. Fletcher to apprehend
an attack was this :—About a week before, an anonymous
letter was thrown over the wall of the brick-croft; it was in
the following terms :—" Fletcher, mind, an attack is made up
on the lith, at 10 o'clock. Take care of yourself; and, con-
stable, mind your head,—keep out of the way." The con-
stable alluded to was Thomas Powell, a day constable, who
had been regularly on the premises for eight weeks, but who
went off at six o'clock in the evening. This man, on Mon-
day afternoon, overheard a party of men in the road, who
were going in the direction of Manahester, conversing and
saying that their men would stand man to man, and would
beat them off the ground. In consequence of this, Mr.
Fletcher sent down to Mr. Diggles for assistance.
Early the following morning Butterworth -and Drennan,
two of the Salford police, apprehended Michael Bagley and
Thomas Hough, in Cross-lane, Salford, on the information
and description given by Mrs. Fletcher. Hough is one who
had been engaged in the first disturbance, and he was only
liberated from the New Bailey on Monday morning, after an
imprisonment of two months.

On Wednesday morning, these two prisoners were brought
before Sir Thos. Potter, at the ...,;alford police-court, and,
after a short statement nfthe facts, were remanded till Friday.

Op the same day, the three men apprehended at Eccles in
the first instance, whose names are Peter Burnes, alias Lund,
Matthew Hough, and Charles Lee, were brought up before
Mr. Maude, at the New Bailey, along with the other priso-
ners, Thas. Crompton, Henry Robinson, and John Walker,
the last of whom had been apprehended at two o'clock in the
morning, in Cheetham-lane, a considerable distance from the
spot, with a wound in his leg, They were all remanded till
Friday.

DISSENT AND TRUE CHURCHMANSIIIP.—My dissenting
friends, oppose the Church Establishment as much as you
will, but let that oppo•ition be fair and manly ; and do not
have recourse to Romish aid, nor join hands with anarchists.
(Cheers.) The day is at band when the conflict will be, not
between rival sects ; not between the Church and those who
are (it may be) conscientiously opposed to her, but between
Christ and Antichrist. (Hear, hear.) lam less than ever
disposed to make common cause with Dissenters, because
they, less than ever, show that dissent in itself is a good thing;
for it seems to produce such an intense and immitigable hos-
tility against that which they exaggerate into so great an evil,
that they lose sight of all real evil in comparison with that
imaginary one. (Hear, hear.) Let the really orthodox, in
life as well as in creed, come out and separate themselves
from such unhallowed alliances ; and we will not, I am sure,
attempt to lord it over their consciences. (Cheers.) My
Christian friends, neither become Low Churchmen. A High
Churchman is a man, who is as high as his Church and no
higher. (Cheers.) We are content with our Church as she
is ; and we will stand by her, and, if needs were, we would
die for her. (Loud cheers.) Have we been the men to de-
preciate her? Have we not more communicants than those
who would turn the Supper into the Mass, and make it the
way to heaven ? (Cheers.) Were we not among the first to
restore the sacrament of baptism to its proper place in the
service? (Renewed cheers.) We are the High Churchmen ;
we love the Church from our heart's core, and we will never
desert her. (Great cheering.) Let me only add, at this hour,
two remarks. Be not supine. Events which used to take a
generation, are now developed in a year; they hasten after
one another, like shadows in autumn over the waving corn-
, tield ; and there is no time to be lost. It may be—now or
never: next year the cloud may have burst. Friends, be
alive. (Cheers.) And finally, be alert, and he not affrighted.
It was beautifully said by a dying saint, " There is no danger
to the Christian." His daughter whispered, tremblingly,.
You do not think there is any danger to the Christian?
" My child," he answered, " do not use such a word ; there
is no danger to the Christian." (Hear, hear.) Then there
ought to be no fear to the Christian. Let us be firm, not
fearful ; ardent, not anxious ; calm, not cowardly ; and, spite
of the storm and the waves, we shall so pass throueh this
troublesome world as to reach the land of everlasting rest:—

THE REFUSAL OF INFANT BAPTISM.

that

reportedsum Assuming
hnation, either through the press or the pulpit, is due to the
conscientious members of the glorious Church of which you
are an apostolically ordained minister. Difficulties of a nature
to peril the continuance of tender consciences 'within our
communion I fear may beimpending; and the sooner they
are enabled accurately to understand their exact position.
with reference to the administration of infant baptism, w
motives will there be for murmur and discord.
Let me, therefore, request you to inform the members of
the Established Church to whom I have just alluded, of the
precise principle upon which you acted in intimating your
willingness to celebrate a portion only of the baptismal ser-
vice. And, if you deign to answer that question, probably
You will think it necessary to point out your scriptural au..
thority, as well as your legal power, to intercept an ordinance
which Christ has himself made universal, and in which there
is reasonable doubt whether any person in your position is
entitled to introduce arbitrary, or apparently arbitrary, mo-
difications.
My knowledge of Mr. Logan is altogether confined to his
name. I believe, however, he belongs to a dissenting per-
suasion, and that misfortune it is alleged constitutes your
justification. Have you ascertained whether Mr. Logan
holds the essentials of Christ's religion? Is he a believer in
the doctrine of justification by faith ? If lie is, he must
repudiate works of supererogation, to which, I lament to say,
there appears in the Church no inconsiderable tendency.
My definition of works of supererogation is, that of our
Articles, as they are " understanded of the people." If Mr.
Logan is orthodox on these important points, I am inclined
to the belief that he has been rather summarily treated ; at
all events, in the absence of information from you, I, for my
part, am not in a condition to consider your alleged defence
sufficiently valid.
I hone I have not prejudiced the merits of this case. My
intentions were certainly otherwise ; and my mind is at this
moment as open to conviction, from argument on your side,
as it has been to impressions from statement upon the otner.

THE INDEPENDENTS AND THE FACTORY BILL

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sist,—You must be well aware of the numerous meetings
held by dissenters of all denominations in this town for the
purpose of protesting against Sir James Graham's Factory
Bill, in which opposition the Independents have taken a pro-
minent part, petition after petition is got up by them, and
presented to the House of Commons as bearing the signa-
tures of the respectable inhabitants of Liverpool. But what
is in reality the way in which these petitions are got up ?
There is at present one lying in the vestry of a chapel in this
town to forward the attainment of their object; and it is a
notorious fact that last Wednesday week three school boys.
who actually confessed their ignorance of the enactments of
the bill, were allowed to sign it, one of them only fifteen
years of age having had permission, and himself the audacity,
to append stx names to it ; is this honourable and fair deal-
ing. My reason for giving publicity to the above mentioned
fact is, that people may have some idea bow the numberless
Pe I
petitions have been got upwith which parliament has lately
I am,
been deluged.
Yours truly, L.
