,xamined by

texts, viz., in the morning from -Ezekiel, ix. 4, and in the
evening from John,'xvii. 19, in'behelf of building day and
Sunday schools in connexion with the above church, under
the paternal care of our excellent minister, Mr. Butler,
Whose exertions have been so far most indefatigable to
raise donations for such a praiseworthy object.
It is a most lamentable fact, that Toxteth-park contains
upwards of 40,000 inhabitants, amongst whom we have
only three Church of England schools for the 'cnltivation
of the little minds of thousands of our fellow-creatures,
who are daily hurrying on the broad road to destruction,
the greatest mass -of which is in the district of the above
church ; and numbers of these poor half-starved and half-
'clad children are•obliged to be sent away every Sabbath-
day from the church, there being no place of refuge to

uable manure which
introduced into England
" The Joshua Waddington " is of 355 tons burthen,
old measurement. She isl3o ft. in length over all, 26 ft.
3 in. in beam, and 18 ft. 3 in. in depth of hold. The
materials of which she is built are of the very best de-
scription throughout ; her timbers being of prime full-
grown English oak, and .her planking of East India tiek
and African oak—both found to be excellent, and the
durability of the latter •so great, that, though in use for
years-" multitudinous,"-it is not yet ascertained.
Fora merchant-vessel, to carry a large cargo, this ship
is of a good model; and though high-sided, in proportion
to her length, she will probably sail fast, and, from her
depth of hold, keep well to windward. 'She is, in fact,
what•may be called a good wholesome merchantman, and
what:little she may lose •in speed, compared with a smarter
ship, she will probably more than make up on the right
side of the ledger. She has a full-length figure of Mr.
Waddington at her bows; and on her stern -mblematical
figures and ornaments carved in alto, in the best style of
the art, representative of the respective countries, Eng-
land and South America.
The .assemblage of spectators was -very great, and a
covered platform was erected on the south side of the
basin, -for the accommodation of the principal guests.
Amongst those present we noticed the Rev. H. M'Neile
and family, the Rev. Mr. Hampton, Messrs. Jones (2),
Bright, Brownell (2), Cotesworth, Naylor, Hagan, Croft,
Wynne, Saukville, Swire, Paton, Jos. Miller, Forwood,
Caton, Bowie, Kendall, and others, with, many of them,
their families and friends.
A few minutes after twelve o'clock the vessel was
launched, and went off in -gallant stylel her plunge into
the water followed by loud cheers. She was christened
by Miss Fanny Peel, cousin of Sir Robert Peel, Prime
Minister, a very young lady, who performed the cere-
mony with so such spirit and enthusiasm ;that fragments of
the bottle and a portion of the wine were thrown back
upon the stage at the bows, on which she and her friends
stood. The vessel, on rushing to the offing, nearly ran
down adlat in the river, but the latter escaped with little
or no damage. The " Waddington," with a number of
persons, on her deck, looked well on the water. She was
afterwards-towed into the Queen's Dock Basin.
THE LUNCH.
-Shortly after the launch, the greater part of the com-
pany, including many ladit s, and numbering in all about
one hundred and thirty, sat down to a sumptuous cold
collation, wines, fkc., in the moulding-room, provided by
Mr. Longden, of the Belvidere Hotel, South Castle-street.
The viands were of the best description, served on two
long tables; and though no fire could be allowed, the wea-
ther was so mild and sunny foe the season, that no incon-
venience was felt, and the guests leisurely did ample jus-
tice to the good things set before them. The large room
was screened off on one side by British ensigns, and on
the other with flags of all nations ; the pillars and roof
were decorated with evergreens and flowers, and the whole
resembled a splendid marquee, filled with a joyous com-
pany, on a May day. The chair of the principal table was
ably filled by Mr. Cotesworth, one of the owners of the
ship, on each side of whom sat the Rev. H. M'Neile and
family, and others of distinction. Captain Samuel Stott
officiated in the vice chair of this table. Mr. Wynne pre- ,
sided at the other table, with Captain Bottomley, the
commander of the new ship, as his vice. Grace having
been impressively said by the Rev. Mr. M'Neile, " board-
ing pikes and cutlasses" were seized with an avidity that
betokened excellent .appetite, and a regular onslaught was
made upon roasted, boiled, and baked, in which rounds
of beef, legs of mutton, turkeys, chickens, tongues, &c.,
suffered extraordinary havock,: while Christmas pies were
utterly demolished. Commensurate justice was done to
the porter, pale ale, and wines, including, amongst the
last, capital champaign, which did its best, though in vain,
to eclipse the sparkling of the ladies' eyes.
The health of " the Queen" having been drunk with
all the honours, Mr. M'NEILE, in very felicitous terms,
alluded to the new ship. Blessed as the undertaking had
so far been, he fervently hoped that she might be destined
to carry the valuable produce of one land to another, sup-
plying mutual wealth and mutual wants ; that she might
prove a source of satisfaction and profit to her owners ;
and that slam might be protected from rocks, and storms,
and all disasters of the deep. He concluded by proposing
" Success to the Joshua Waddington." We need scarcely
state that the toast was drunk with the moat enthusiastic

arid Scriptural educa-
tion. There are at this time about 300 poor children
taught every Sabbath-day in the church, and more refused
for want of schools. Is not this.a deplorable scene-in a
Christian and a Protestant land-? The answer is univer-
sally "Yes," in the midst of the greatest affluence.
The above church was erected and endowed by sthat
'Christian philanthropist, John 'Gladstone, Esq. •of
Fasque, at an expense of nearly XE,OOO. What a cheer-

men would,go and do likewise in behalfsof erecting schools

NORTH,

Mr. WYNNE returned his grateful thanks for the ho-
nour conferred upon bis partner and himself, and proposed
" Mrs. M`Neile and the ladies who had that day favoured
them by their presence." (Loud cheers.)
Mr. IWINTEILE, in the name of the ladies, returned
thanks, and, with allusion to the condition of the manu-
facturing population, and particularly the young females,
suggested, as a noble exploit, for the ladies of England to
make a representation to the Queen—herself a mother,
and imbued with the kindliest maternal feelings—with a
view to an amelioration in their condition. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Health and prosperity
to the Builders of the Ship.', (Loud applause.)
Mr. ROYDEN returned thanks, in plain but hearty John
Bull terms, for the compliment. He expressed the plea-
sure he felt in being surrounded by such an assembly, and
trusted that the Joshua Waddington, now afloat on her
destined element, would prove herself second to no ship
in the several qualities requisite for a merchant vessel.
The health of Miss Peel was then drunk with three
times three, and afterwards that of Mr. Brownell. That
gentleman, in returning thanks, proposed '
the Owners," which was heartily responded to.
A GENTLEMAN, whose name we did not obtain, pro-
posed the health of Captain Bottomley, expressing a hope
that the vessel would long be a source of emolument to
her owners, and of satisfaction to her commander.
Captain BOTTOMLEY said it was an old saying amongst
sailors, that the prayers of the wicked rose no higher than
" the leading blocks;" and if that were admitted as an
axiom, surely the kind wishes of so goodly a company
would (on the other hand) ensure
the undertaking they had that
