NATIONAL CHURCH SCHOOLS:—Wri earnestly direct the at-
tention of our readers to the approaching anniversary of the
charity schools connected with the established church, intended
to be celebrated at St. Peter's Church. on Thursday next, the
IBth instant. The schools stand greatly in need of pecuniary
assistance, which can never be better bestowed, and in times
like the present such demonstrations on behalf of our church are
eminently valuable and useful.
APPREHENSION OF AN •I ISH MUEDERER.—A short time
ago a contractor far the repair of public rJads-near Belfast, in
Ireland, was waylaid and murdered by a rival in the same bu-
siness, who had been disappointed of ri job by the murdered
ituan. The murderer, who was assisted in his deed of blood by
some of his workmen, Abscondel,.and it was supposed they had
voceeded to Eegland,.via Liverpool, for the purose of escap-
ang to America. Police officers were accordingly despatched
*0 this port, and after a week's search they succeeded in appre-
hending the principal yesterday morning near the docks. His
taaine is Michael Ridings. Ile was lodged in the Exchange
lirideweil by the Irish police officers, who state that there is
every probability of .apprehending his accomplices.
AGRICULTURAL DISTURBANCES IN SUSSEX.—Disturbances
of a serious natute have broken out in the neighbourhood of
Rye, Eastbourne, and Winchelsea. A labourers' union has
keen formed at Rye, for the avowed object of compelling the
farmers to advance the rate of wages from two shillings to two
shillings and sixpence per day. Another cause of dissatisfac-
tion is, the change which the poor-law bill has produced iu the
Mode of granting parochial relief. Scarcely a night passes
'Without some farmer finding one or more of his sheep stuck
through the neck with a knife and left to die a lingering death,
the poor animals often living twenty-four hours after the brutal
deed has been perpetrated. Two guardians of the poor, living
near Willingdon, have had much of their property destroyed.
40 attempt has been made to fire the premises of one of them.
The barns of Mr. Buckwill and Mr. Horne, at Sutton, have
been destroyed. Two London police officers are engaged in an
attempt to detect the incendiaries, for whose discovery a reward
of £4OO has been offered.

THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS.—A NEW BREAKWATER.--A
kicked mischief-making reporter has, it appears, intruded him-
tell into the London conference of the society of friends (dis-
guised, of course) and published au account of certain disagree-
Mentz among that peaceable body which were not intended-to
Meet the eve of the public. We take the following extract from
An abridged report of the society's- proceedings :—" The whole
'Of one sitting was occupied with reading and commenting on ex-
tracts from the journal of Mr. Wheeler, who went out as a quaker
;Missionary to the islands in the South Sea, in a vessel purchased
ty the society. and fitted up exclusively for this service. His
4keenunt of the voyage from England to Rio Jaueiro, and thence
in Hobart's Town, was certainly-n:l6st extraordinary. During
The former, the wind and weather were so favourable that not a
HSingle tack was made; whilst the voyage from Rio Janeiro to
obart's Town was !one continued scene of storms and hurri-
canes; from all of which he was pfosideritially rescued, having,
In one extremity, been most remarkably preserved from the
siverwhelming waves by a regular breakwater of two hundred
'whales !"
MR. WALKER'S LECTURES ON :AsTnowom?.—Wr. Walker
tommenced repeating his course of lectures on astronomy, il-
lustrated by his concave orrery, at the. Liver Theatre, last night,
And will continue them on the evenings of this day, to-morrow,
Atld Thursday. We have so frequently spoken of their excel-
lence that any other than a.generel reCorninbndation of them to
'he attention of the public is

e of the 90th Psalm was chanted by the Blue Coat children.
he whole scene was very impressive and affecting, and will
°lag be remembered by those who witnessed iti all present
itilieared to feel as if they had lost a dear and intimate friend.
THE DOUBLE-SIGHTED HIGHLAND YOUTH.—The perform-
-I,...ttees of Louis Gordon M 'Kean, the Highland seer, are singular.
I:vitt' his eyes blindfolded, and with-his back turned to the
4erist, he answers questions very readily, such as the denomi-
:atiou of any coins, the date and monarch whose " image and
11Peracription" is impressed upon them, or the metal of which
Bey are formed; in the same position he also describes the co-
4r, texture, and peculiarities of any article exhibited.
Tax APOLLO Corecerer.—One of these concerts took place
°la Thursday evening last, and, we are happy to add, to a fashion
biti)le and crowded auditory. It gave universal satisfaction.
as Cassidy, who is the principal singer in the company, was
dly encored in .that beautiful ballad, "Kate Kearney," as
7t in the Italian duet. We are happy to find this young lady
favourite in this good old town ; and her crudell perche, who
supported his part in that beautiful duet, drew forth great
4"lePlause. This gentleman is gifted with a very superior voice,
ti,tici we doubt not will rank high in his profession. A comic
I tok,''eti by Miss C. and the two gentlemen amateurs,
t"6rally admired. All the comic powers of the societyseemed
in this young lady. Of Mr. Walton we cannot speak
,1`)0 highly. The applause his "Anchor weighed" drew forth
!Lust be a sufficient essurance of the pleasure which he afforded.
44e madrigals and Italian concerted glees were extremely well
4R; hut "Light as Fairy Foot'"- 'was amongst the happiest
;tiris of the night. Miss Leach skrig the several pieces al-
est to her very pleasingly. The duets by Mr. G. Holden and
4,1 k Henshall were well pled, but were rather uninteresting.
ttn- Brown's flute solo wag

amateurs gave uh satisfaction. On the w ole,
