It is as yet uncertain whether the Duke of Rich-
mond will be well enough to attend ; and the
Marquis of Downshire we believe is prevented by
some family affliction.
In addition delegates will attend from the fol-
lowing amongst other county and branch pro-
tectionist societies, viz. :—lpswich, Boroughbridge,
Amersham, Polesworth, Haddington, N. 8., North
Nottingham, Boston, Lincolnshire, (5 representa-
tives) ; Stafford, (six) ; Ripon, Devon, and Exeter,
Last Kent, Huntingdon, (fifteen); Oswestry, Wor-
cester society and branches, Caistor, Lincolnshire,
Rumford, Bridgenorth, Scottish Protection Society,
East Suffolk, Bridgewater, Brigg, Grimsby, Alford,
Caistor, Doncaster, Wiltshire, Brigg and Barton,
Northamptonshire, Uxbridge, North Wilts, Mont-
gomeryshire, (six representatives); Wolverhampton,
(seven) ; Essex, (eight) ; Sleaford, Herts, Eccleshall,
Lincoln and Lindsey, Banbury, (eight); Ellesmere
district (twenty-three) ; Rutland, Epworth, Ando-
ver, Berkshire; and about 140 of the yeomanry of
Lord de Tabley will represent North Cheshire.
In addition to the above, the mercantile and
trading interests of Liverpool will present a power-
ful and influential phalanx; and we shall, no
doubt, see present as many of our industrious
classes as can obtain admission, anxious to express
their disgust and disappointment at the fraudulent
representations, by which a one-sided Free Trade
was forced upon their acceptance. We may men-
tion, as one instance of the importance with which
the meeting is regarded, the fact, that an applica-
tion was made to the committee for a thousand
tickets of admission, for the masters and mates of
the shipping at present in the port.
We shall have an opportunity in our next of
making a few comments upon the proceedings,
and the addresses of the various speakers, whom,
in the present incomplete state of the arrangements,
we are unable to name. In the mean time, we
venture to prophecy that the Free Trade oracles
throughout the country will, by this demonstration
of commercial Liverpool, above all others, be driven
to make the tardy admission, that a re-action has
already set in, and that the country is coming to
its proper senses upon the subject of their boasted
panacea for all ills—cheapness.

The Literary and Philosophical Society of this town
contemplate inviting the British Association to hold its
sittings in Liverpool next year. Thirteen years have
elapsed since the society assembled in this town.

Five bales of cotton have been recently received in
Liverpool from Natal. It is described as a clean, bright
yellow cotton, very fine and silky in the staple, and ex-
ceedingly good quality. It is worth 81d, per lb., and is
principally adapted for fine numbers.
On Sunday two sermons were preached at Preston by
the Rev. T. Robinson, incumbent of St. Bartholomew's,
in this town, in aid of the Church Missionary Association,
and on the following day the same reverend gentleman
delivered an excellent speech at a numerous meeting for
the same object.
LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.—
This northern safety-valve of Liverpool is being rapidly
proceeded with, and is expected to be opened about the
Ist of August. The permanent way at the Kirkdale end
is laid for some distance, and the bridges are in a forward
state on the whole line.
Our readers will be glad to learn, that the Reverend
Alexander Crummell, the African clergyman who created
so favourable an impression in this town about twelve
months ago, occupied a very flattering position at the re-
cent Cambridge examinations. In classics he was sixth
in a class of fourteen, at Queen's College, having only
been engaged in the study a little more than a year, while
his competitors have been thus occupiei probably all
their lives. . _

BT. MATTHEW'S SEHOOLS.—We perceive that on
Sunday next, two sermons will be preached in St. Mat-
thew's- Church in aid of the schools attached to that
church. It is extremely desirable that a strong effort
should be made on this occasion to increase the school
fund, as the children still receive their education under
the church, which should be continued no longer. We
hope to see a suitable building erected ere long. detached
from the church.

COLLEGIATE INSTITIITION.—In addition to the c
honours enumerated elsewhere and conferred at Ox-
ford on gentlemen educated at these excellent schools,
we perceive that R. H. Hart, (son of 'William Hart, Esq.,
of Spring Hill, Blackburn,) who was so fortunate as to
obtain the Egerton Scholarship at Christmas 1848, and
the M`Neile exhibition at midsummer 1349, had last
week awarded to him a scholarship at Emmanuel College
Cambridge. Such a series of brilliant successes is rarely
attendant on so comparatively young an establishment,
as our collegiate schools, and attests the excellent system
of tuition and discipline adopted at the institution.

SLAVE-GROWN SUGAR.—On Friday, among those who
voted with Sir E. Buxton for a protection to colonial
against slave-grown sugar, were E, Cardwell, J. Bailey,
Marquis of Blandford, B. D'lsraeli, W. E. Gladstone, H.
Goulburn, Marquis of Granby, T. Greene, J. Heald, Sid-
ney Herbert, J. Hornby, Lord Mandeville, Lord J. Man-
ners, F. O'Connor, Col. Thompson, Col. Peel, G. San-
nars, J. Sanders, Hon. E, Stanley, R. Stephenson, Sir F.
Thesiger, and J. Tollemache. In the tninority of 234,
were Sir T. B. Birch, W. Brown, A. Henry, J. Heywood,
J. Bright, Sir R. Peel, R. Cobden, J. E. Denison, W.
Ewart, Sir J. Graham, Lord R. Grosvenor:L. Heyworth,
T. Thorneley, and Sir J. Walmsley. No fewer than
twenty-six supporters of Sir Robert Peel voted for the
motion, as did twelve Whigs.
On Sunday last a sermon was preached by the Rev. W.
Rawson, at Christ Church, Waterloo, on the occasion of
the death of the Rev. Charles Graham Jones, the late
incumbent, and in the evening a sermon was preached by
the Rev. John Jones, at St. Andrew's Church, with a
similar view of improving the melancholy event. The
prayers, on the latter occasion, were read by the Rev.
Herbert Jones, and the Rev. Ambrose Jones, brothers of
the deceased ; and two other brothers, the Rev. Edward
Jones, and the Rev. William Henry Jones, were present
in the church. We understand the Rev. Ambrose Jones
was ordained deacon last Trinity Sunday, by the Bishop
of Chester, and is appointed the curate to St. Andrew's
Church, in the place of the Rev. Henry Slater, who has
accepted a curacy in the county of Durham.
INQUESTS YESTERDAY.—On view of the body of
George Trafford Newman, a child twelve months old.
On Friday the parents of deceased arrived in this town,
from Hull. Same night deceased went to bed with the
servant girl of the family, (his aunt,) and another child
was in the bed. On Saturday morning, when the servant
awoke, she found the deceased close to hp., and quite
dead. Verdict, " Overlain."—On Felix Riley, aged 65,
residing in Crosby-street. He went to bed well on Sat-
urday night, but on Sunday morning wasstruck with
some inward complaint, and died almost immediately.—
On James Bolton, aged 13. Deceased was playing, on
Friday, in Blenheim-street, about an empty cart, in
which were sonic children, causing it to sway alternately
from end to end, when he got under it, and one end
falling upon him, he was so much injured that he died
Sunday deceased was out at the
shortly afterwards. " Accidental."—On William John

fell, and lighted on the deck of the next vessel with such
violence as to produce fracture of the skull, of which he
died in two hours. "Accidental."
