SALE OF AMERICAN PROVISIONS.—OOT..tIN:IO,
several considerable lots of Aineriran beef, 11:1113, ,r.;
&c., were submitted to auction sale, at the Corrimer.',
Sale-room, in Temple-court, on aecourir the .inport-r-
-by Mr. G. Badenach and by Mr. Gardner, brokers.
sale was announced for twelve o'clock, and at that, how
large muster of the trade were present. The first lots p,
up consisted of American lard, which were withdrawn
Mr. Badenach at 335., as the limit. Some other lot-
however, found buyers at prices varying from 32e. 6d. t
345. 6d., the highest price raid fair a smolt lot of very su
perior quality. Mr. Gardner then offered a number e
lots, a portion of which were knocked down at prices vary
mg from 31s. to 335. 9d., the holders of the rernaindf,
refusing to submit to these prices. The next articl
offered was a lot of 284 barrels of American beef, fit
which, however, no bidders came forward. A similar re
suit attended the attempts to get rid of a .small quantity
of pickled rounds and tongues. A lot of 501 canvasser.
American hams was put up in fifties, and 200 sold
30s. 6d. and 31 ~ the rest being withdrawn. A lot of 35
casks, of better quality, was also withdrawn. 50 English
hams, first quality, were next sold at 30s. 6d. per cwt..
and 48 of the same lot at 28s. 6d. A lot of second quality
brought only 28s. 6d., and a lot of thirds 255. To ac
count for these low rates we may remark, that the sound-
ness of the articles appeared to be doubtful. A quantity
of cheese was then offered by Mr. Gardner in lots, the
greater portion of which, however, were withdrawn. The
prices of those sold ranged from 38s. to 445. 6d. per cwt.
for fair and good qualities. A few inferior were sold at
30s. to 325. 6d.
ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST'S CHURCH.—This neat
place of worship (at the north end of Hope-street) has
recently undergone several interior alterations and im-
provements, and may now be considered one of the most
comfortable churches in the town. The pulpit, which
was before between the two entrances, has been removed
to the east end; the pews have been remodelled and made
uniform,—rising in steps on each side from those in the
centre, so that the entire congregation may be seen from
any point; and the whole have been covered with watered
rnorine. The voice of the reader or preacher is also by
this new arrangement rendered more audible. But the
greatest improvement—and a novelty in itself—is the
manner of lighting the interior when gas is required. This
is effected by a single, but large and splendid, Bude light,
suspended from the centre of the roof. The intensity of
illumination is subdued by the burner being fixed in an
immense dish, or bawl, of frosted glass—perhaps a yard
in diameter at the top—and of an ornamental form, it
being fashioned, at the upper part, into leaves, curving
gracefully over all round, so as to resemble huge flowers
of the rose or lily tribe. This has a beautiful and pleasing
effect, 'minding one of the vertical sun, and though not
dazzling to the eye as is the orb of day, it diffuses so even
and brilliant a volume of light throughout every part of
the building, that even those in the remotest seats and
corners can see to read the usual print in small devotional
books. From its great height—only a few feet below the
ceiling—its rays descend on the objects below in' a more
natural and efficient manner than can be attained by a num-
ber of minuter lights placed at intervals only a little above
the heads of those assembled, and tending to perplex by
producing intersecting shadows. This splendid lamp is
suspended in a bronze fixture, of handsome classical de-
sign. It was, we learn, furnished by, and erected under
the superintendence of, F. L. Hausburg, of Church-street,
who has thus added another laurel to those he has already
achieved in the production of articles of taste and virtu.
We entertain little doubt but that the efficiency of this
light, its brilliancy, without injury to the eye, and its
moderate cost compared with its advantages, will induce
its adoption on a similar principle in may of our churches
and other public edifices.
GUANO—FIRST ARRIVAL AT THIS PORT FROM AF-
RICA.—The extraordinary qualities of guano, or bird-
manure, from Peru, have been gradually developed during
the last few years, and it may be said to have become a
regular article of import. The discovery, however, of the
same, or a similar substance, on a desert island on the
coast of Africa, about twelve months ago, directed the
attention of numerous speculators to the spot—the vogage
to it out and home being much shorter, and consequently
less costly, than to Peru, which involved the doubling of
Cape Horn, and a long stretch thence to the northward
and back, along the western shores of South America. The
" secret" no sooner became known, than a great number
of vessels—perhaps not fewer than fifty in all—were des-
patched fi om England and Scotland together, in quest of
the material, priceless in all but in the digging, loading,
and conveyance. The first cargo from this new natural
depst was imported into Dumfries, in June last, and a
part of it was sold at £9 a ton. The second import of this
article to this country arrived here on the 19th ultimo, by
the barque Levenside ; and this cargo, amounting to
three hundred tons, was advertised for sale by auc-
tion, (the first sale of the kind here,) on Wednesday
last, at the sale-room of Messrs. Roscow, Arnold, and
Leete. The interest excited on the occasion was very
considerable, and the room was much crowded. In
order to suit purchasers, the whole was divided into five
and 10 ton lots.—Mr. Roscow stated that he had tried the
African guano (out of the first cargo) himself, and found
it nearly the same in effect as the Peruvian. The quan-
tity of ammonia which it contained was stated to him to be
about 30 per cent. The first bid made was £5 10s. a ton
for the five tons offered, and the biddings rose, by half-
crowns, to £B., and there hung. Mr. Roscow stated that
offers bad been made to the owner, and that unless an ad-
vance were made on £8 Is. 6d. he should not sell. There
was no other bidding. and £9 was named by the owner,
aq that it TOt
bidders at the advance required, were withdrawn. A part
was afterwards, we learn, sold at £8 10s., and the cargo
has since been advertised to be sold from on board, at £9.,
with a discount to farmers bringing their own bags. The
statement made in the Dumfries Courier, that the whole
" was sold at once for £8 17s. 6d. per ton, to be delivered
at the Clyde," is, therefore, inaccurate.—A small lot of
12 tons of guano stated to be Peruvian, and of which a
sample was produced but not guaranteed was next offered
by Mr. Baring. The first lot (half of the quantity) ob-
tained a bid of £B., and rose to £8 7s. 6d., when it was
knocked down. The other lot was taken in. It was stated
by some in the room to be of rather inferior quality for
Peruvian, but of this we do not assume to be judges. It
was somewhat remarkable that the same species of com-

CORPORATION LAND AT WALLASEY POOL !—On
Thursday last, the land belonging to the Corporation of
Liverpool, on both sides of Wallasey Pool, was again
offered for sale by auction, by Mr. Winstanley, at the
George Inn, on leases for 75 years, and subject to certain
conditions. The lots were the same as at the attempted
sale some weeks ago—fifteen in number, of various ex-
tents, from 11,000 and odd yards, in thirteen of the
pieces, to 54,000 and odd—the two largest lots being res-
pectively 94.640 and 160,010 yards. The conditions
(which were but slightly altered from the last) comprised,
on this occasion, liberty to make docks, basins, slips, and
other similar works ; and also to excavate clay for bricks
to be uved on the land, to the depth of eight feet; and to
quarry stone to the depth of thirty feet. The attendance
was not quite so numerous as at the last sale, but there
were present many of the same monied parties interested
in the future anpropriation of the Pool, and from the lati-
tude given in the conditions, it was expected that business
would be done. The Town-clerk and Mr. Franklin were

again present to give explanation. The same condition
was retained as to the purchasers being required to build,
within two years, a sufficient sea-wall, or quay, opposite
the respective lots they might purchase; and the precise
line of wall on each side not being definitively fixed upon,
a question was put, whether, in the event of the final line
extending beyond the present margin of the Pool, and
consequently enclosing more land than was marked in
the plan, the purchaser was to pay for the difference?
The Town-clerk said that it more were enclosed (or
made) that would not be charged for ; and if less„
deduction would be made accordingly. He also stated
in reply to a question by Mr. Jackson, that be had
no doubt but that parties making bricks, and selling
them for use on other sites, beyond what they
were required to build on the lots (to the amount of
one-eighth of the purchase-money within four years,) they
might do so on the payment as proposed, of say 2s. Gd.
per thousand, or thereabouts, to the corporation. The
auctioneer then proceeded to offer the Ist. lot of 21,530
yards. Mr. Jackson bid Ss. a square yard, and Mr. Jno.
Laird, 9s. There was no further bidding, and Mr.
Franklin declared the reserved bidding for the corporation
to be 21s. No offer was made beyond that amount, and
the lot was consequently withdrawn. For lot 2 Mr. Jack-
son bid Bs. and it was also withdrawn, the reserved bid
being also 21s. For lot 3, 65., and finally 6s. Gd. was bid,
but the reserve was the same. Lots 4 and 5 met precisely
the same result. For lot 6,6 s. and 6s. 6d, wes bid,—re-
serve 21s. Lot 7. Mr. Jackson offered 45., Mr. Laird
4s. 6d.,—reserve 255. The other lots, (with the exception
of 13,) were formally put up with no better success, the
reserve on some being 15s. and the bidding but 4s. Mr.
Jackson remarked on one of these that he would sell equal
land as to situation, and which was freehold, for Bs. The
whole were consequently withdrawn. Mr. Winstanley
returned thanks to the gentlemen present, who then dis-
persed.
VESSELS LOADING IN LIVERPOOL.—We do not re-
member so large a number of " ships loading" at our port
as at the present time. We find, by the Custom-house
list, that no fewer than 249 ships (most of them of large
tonnage) are loading for foreign ports, and our own pos-
sessions and colonies abroad. The ports for which they
are destined comprise almost every accessible port or
place of traffic throughout the known world. Of coasting
vessels loading the number is also greater than usual at
any one time, being about 100. What between craft large
and small loading or discharging, our docks, spacious as
they are, are filled to repletion. This affords a gratifying
indication of a revival of trade.

Mit. C. DICKKNS.—On Tuesday last this original and
popular writer unexpectedly paid a visit to the Weller
family, and afterwards lunched with them at the residence
of Mr. James C. Shaw, who married the eldest daughter.
Mr. Dickens was astonished at the various accomplish-
ments which nature has bestowed on this talented family,
and remarked, that "one of the bright gems of his exist-
ence was his introduction to them." Mrs. Shaw and
Miss Weller "discoursed sweet harmony" together on
the piano with that exquisite poetic feeling which has de-
lighted the best musicians of the day. Subsequent to this
visit from Mr. Dickens he forwarded two characteristic
verses of poetry to Miss Weller, which were proriuced
from his mind when acted on by the gratification he ex-
perienced at the Breck„

The CHAIRMAN, the proceedings with
gayer, addressed the awheric!e at some length. He said,
:at as many of them as •ii I tr,i iced carefully the objets
tr which he hid ju,t G d's blessing would have
ierceived what, in his jitig-in nt, was the true nature of
heir present work. Tticy waited to have such good done
o themselves as that they might do good to those around
hem, so that, by their means, through their neighbours,
0.1 might be done to the town, and, by means of the
own, good might be done to the country, and, by means
,f the cow,try, good might be done to the world. (Hear,
'tear.) For Proiesaiitistu was good: it was not merely
pr.}test against evil; it was in itself good. He had lately
in illustration of this which suggested itself to his own
mind in rather a curious way, and he would mention it
now—the circumstance first, then the suggestion, mid then
he application, for the instruction of those present. He re-
ceived a letter, soon after the beginning of this year, and
on opening the cover, found inside two slips of very thin
paper. One of them was blank, and the other had a song
written on it—a party song, cleverly written. It so hap-
pened that just at the time he got those two slips of paper
he had a £lOO note in his hand, which he was going to
change in order to pay his bills ; because he thought it a
part of Protestantism for every man to keep his bills
paid. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) It so happened,
then, that he had those three slips of paper in his hand at
the moment ; and he tholght to himself that it was a
curious circumstance, and that it spoke something to a
mind capable of getting instruction. He said—" here
is No. 1, a blank ; No. 2, a party song ; and No. 3, a
£lOO note." Now, what was Protestantism for protesting-
sake good for—just for finding fault's sake with others ?
It was a blank piece of paper, not worth the trouble of
tearing it. (Hear.) What was Protestantism for the
sake of politics worth ? A clever song not worth keep-
ing. (Hear, hear.) What was Protestantism for Chris-
tianity sake worth ? It had the water-mark of the bank
on it,—the true bank of God. (Loud cheers.) So,
now,tliesorttn otfbetnProitnestathnatitsmplachee,
and
dd
he alwaysaa
recommended
bold to say, in every place where they had heard him
recommend it, was the Protestantism that had Christianity
for its object—which protested against Popery, not for
the sake of finding fault. It would be a joy to him, and
to those who laboured with him in the same cause, that
there was not an individual on the face of the earth that
required to be found faul. with. One of their glorious
hopes was fixed on that millennium kingdom in which
there would be nothing to find fault ; and they bad the
germ of that kingdom of Christ within them now, being
children of the light, and their heart's desire was, to have j
nothing to find fault. Therefore they did not protest
against Popery for the pleasure of finding fault ; and if
any man were a Protestant for the sake of finding fault, he
had not a right sort of Protestantism in him : it was a
Piece of blank paper. (Hear ) They protested against
Popery, not for the sake of raising up party politics ; but
he would tell them why they protested against it. There
were a great many to join them in their protest when they
wanted to achieve a political object, before the change of
the government, when the late ministry were guiding the
counsels of her most gracious Majesty, whom God pre-
serve and her li tie family,—(loud cheers,)—men who
had only the song of Protestantism, and who came with
their political song to join the association. Their object
was political; that of the association was Christian; but
the association could not separate between the two. It
never could tell, when a rich man or a poor man came to
join, whether his object was political or Christian : he
called himself a Protestant ; lie joined the ranks ; swelled
the cry ' • increased the meetings—meetings which were
then so large as that they filled the Amphitheatre. And
why wasn't it so now? He (the chairman) would tell
them the reason : all the political ones had fallen off and
took no further concern; circumstances had separated
between the two parties; and the Cnristian Protestants,
who were few always, were shown to be few now; and
this was the secret of the matter. (Hear, hear.) What,
then, did he and others protest against Popery for? He
had already said, not for the sake of finding fault—not
for the sake of a party, political object, but for the sake
of God's truth both in church and state. (Cheers.) They
protested against it, because, whenever it was received,
the liberties of men in this world and the salvation of
men in the world to come were endangered, it not
destroyed. (Loud cheers.) They valued liberty here,
and they valued salvation hereafter. Therefore, for
the sake of liberty here, not party politics, but national
liberty,—for the sake of having the laws of England to
govern, and not the domination of the Pope of Rome,—
for the sake of keeping their old statute-book, and not to
be overridden by a foreign potentate,—they protested
against it. This applied to all Englishmen. It was not
the basis of party politics; and yet this was what was
called political in him and others. His politics embraced
England, and desired England's liberty—the liberty of
whig as well as tory—the liberty of the Roman Catholics,
too; and would to God they had liberty! (Hear, hear.)
'This was the application to this world, and the higher
application still to salvation, for there was a protestan ism
which did not reach the heart in its theory, and therefore
did not reach the life in its practice. There was a pro-
testantism which did not alter the temper, which did not
restrain the tongue, which did not guide the affections and
desire, in the love of the heathen, to do them good in life.
There was a species of protestantism which, he grieved to
say, had done their true cause much harm. What he
desired was. to see Christianity at the root, and the
protest against error nuatuoonea, not rot 1,0 0.,a0
sake, but for the sake of that precious root which
was to be preserved. (Cheers.) They object they had in
view was to deepen and to give solidity to the PrAestatit-
ism of their neighbourhood. The way now'to do good was
for every man in his place to give sound instruction ; be-
cause, to protest against error, without having direct in-
struction in truth, would never satisfy thinking men.
Every man in his place, then—every master in his family
—every young man amongst his companions, his brothers
and sisters—every clergyman in his church should endea-
vour now to convey, both by precept and example, a true,
sound, scriptural instruction, which was the only safeguard
against Popery. (Loud eheere.) Popery could win its
way, directly or indirectly, against anything anal every-
thing except scriptural truth. Armies would not keep it
out; and *hat the armies of Paganism filed to do, the
Bible, in the hand of Luther, did not fail to do. (Vehe-
ment applause.) Moreover, he would tell them another
thing—a secret, and he would not ask them to keep it
either—(hear, hear, and a laugh)—that the public mind,
commonly so called, now in England, had got into such
a diseased state that it recoiled from truth. They had
heard tell of Popery being increased by Evangelical

proceeded at some further length to inculcate upon the
working classes the necessity of early attendance at

cheers.

The Rev. THOMAS NOLAN then addressed the meeting
at considerable length, in the course of which he referred
to the propositions lately propounded in the Times news-
paper, whereby Humanism would, as he contended, be
more firmly established in the sister country. tic also
referred to the education afforded at Maynooth, and to
the evil influence exercised by the priesthood throughout
the length anti breadth of Ireland. The reverend gentle-
man proceeded to say, in effect, that if the Irish church
were put down—if it were deserted by England—it would
be a woful day for the empire at large. And he must say,
though with pain, vet with candour that the apathy of
the English Protestants had brought her to the position
in which she then stood, and that to England it was
owing that Popery in that country had become such as it
was. He then took a cursory view of the prominent
features of ecclesiastical history from the days of Henry
II to the present time, and pointed out in strong language
the tyranny of Romanism as exercised by the priests in
Ireland, on a confiding people, who were possessed of
feelings and sympathies which, were they instructed in
the true faith, and not deceived, as they were, would render
them a happy, virtuous, and valuable portion of the com-
munity. (Loud cheers.) Let, he said, Evangelical
preachers go amongst the peasantry of Ireland ; let the
Church of Ireland have but a fair chance for ten years,
and he feared not for the result—which would be the
downfal of Popery. He then passed a high and feeling
eulogium on the character of their friend and paster, Mr.
M'Neile; alluding to his arrival amongst them at a time

THE MAGAZINES LIFE-BOAT.---011 Friday evEDO
about six o'clock, some of the crew of the Magqejt
Life-boat, who were, as usual, on the look out, desert the
sloop on shore at the back of the North Bank, secloit
flag hoisted at the Rock Lighthouse. The whole
was mustered, and the boat launched as speedily se 170
sible. They rowed hard against a strong flood tide 01
heavy head sea, and reached the vessel, which they flpe
to be in a sinking state, and nearly full of water. 0$
crew of the Life-boat got on board of her, and while 001
of them turned hastily to pumping, the others rasdeidoi
on the vessel. By this means they succeeded in 1131;ehey
the shore at the Magazines before she went down. Jibs
got her on at high water, and when the tide left hernisi
leaks were stopped, and she has since got into dock. Lk
sloop was the Rosemont of Dublin, loaded with pot s;0
and having a crew of three persons. But for the eser:oidt
of the beat's crew, both the hands and the vessel Wu
in all probability, have been lost.
