Victory over Death: a Sermon, preached in St. Augus-
tine's Church, Everton, on the Sunday next after the
Interment of the late beloved and venerated Minister
of that Churzth, the Rev. Thomas Tattershall, D.D.,
F.C.P.S.. who " died in the Lord," on Thursday, the
29th of October, 1816. By the Rev. Hugh I.ll'Neile,
M.A., Hon. Canon of Chester, and Incumbent of St.
Jude's Church, Liverpool. London : John Hatchard
and Son, Piccadilly; Liverpool: Arthur Newling, H.
Perris.

We gave last week a general description and some
portions of the beautiful discourse preached by the Rev.
Hugh M'Neile, as a funeral sermon, upon the occasion
of the lamented death of the late incumbent of St. Au-
gustine's. the following introduction of the subject,
:Ind the character of the deceased, drawn by one who
knew him so intimately, will not be without interest for
our readers :
My dear friends and brethren,—l am among you this morn-
ing at the request of one whose circumstances are well calcula-
ted to awaken the deepest emotions of our Christian sympathy.
It has pleased Almighty God, in the mystery of his sovereign

grace, to deprive her ai once of the partner of her course, the
consolation of her heart, and the support of her life. A
"widow indeed," with three precious boys, is thrown upon the
bosom of the church's compassion. To feel with her keenly
and sincerely is the mournful privilege of devoted friendship;
and I could not refuse compliance with her request, though
at the expense of much personal feeling. And now I
humbly and earnestly implore our heavenly Father, for the
sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to pour upon us the riches of
his grace, by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven, that a
discourse upon DEATu AS A VANQUISHED FOE may prove a
blessing to us all, so that we may meet the foe without fear,
and rest in peace upon the Conqueror's arm as our assured
hope, as our beloved brother did, and does.

ft is not to praise the dead that I occupy this sacred place,
dearly beloved and highly valued as he was. The best praise
which my departed friend could possibly receive from his
fellow-creatures has already been recorded in the throbbing
bosoms and streaming eyes of thousands who loved him. The
circumstances of his life and the excellencies of his character
were calculated rather to win affection in private, than to
arrest public attention and challenge instantaneous admira-
tion. But he had better spectators than men. The moral and
spiritual triumphs which he daily achieved, although unheeded
by a fallen world, were such as caused joy among the holy
angels—such as God himself delights in. They were Christian
in the genuine sense of that word—Christian in their motive,
in their manner, in their end. Jesus Christ was the centre
of light and attraction round which all the features of his
character continually revolved ; and none were there more
remarkable than a sure, child-like confidence in God. This was
his peculiar feature, as all who knew him will remember. In
answer to one who saw and knew and felt what he was in the
daily tone of his mind, who asked him, " Have you never any
fears ?" with sweet simplicity he said, "No, never; because
God never changes."

Nor will the following, introducing an extract from the
last sermon preached by Dr. Tattershall, be less attrac-
tive or interesting :

I have thought of words to describe him, both in conference
with his fellows, and in intercourse with the world; and I know
of no words in which to express so comprehensively what I have
seen and known of him in both capacities as these :—" In con-
ference he was a sound man ; in intercourse he was an innocent
man." His public mini, try partook of both these qualities; it
was at once solid and simple; more calculated to instruct than
to attract ; more addressed to the judgment and conscience than
to the curiosity or imagination of his auditors. Christ was its
sum and substance, not sentimentally or poetically adorned,
but in close and conclusive argument, by fair logical deduction
from premises not to be gainsaid, set forth as the basis, and the
only basis, of God's dealings with our fallen world. But you,
my brethren, are better qualified to judge of this than I can be,
or the world at large. He has given but few specimens of his
teaching. From them, chiefly, I speak. His discourses upon
the doctrine of Election, and upon the Atonement, are ad-
mirable examples of theological perspicuity. lam kindly per-
mitted to introduce here a paragraph from the last sermon he
ever preached, strikingly characteristic of his views, and of the
repose of heart and mind, the sweet serenity which he enjoyed
through confidence in the character of God as revealed in Jesus
Christ. I hold the extract here, in his own handwriting:—

manifested in and through Christ, we shall obtain at once the
pardon of our sins, which will, in due time, as that trust and
confidence becomes more strong, more definite, more intelli-
gent, more distinct and clear to our own minds, be followed
with the consciousness of our acceptance with God, a sense of
safety, a freedom from bondage, the fear of death, and from all
anxiety and pain. But without such confidence in Christ we
can obtain none of these mercies, but must continue under the
dominion of sin and the sentence of condemnation. By trusting
to the power of God, ever ready to be put forward when

needed on our behalf, we may obtain a conquest over our own
corruptions, over the fear of man • over all our spiritual foes,
over our great adversary, the devil. But, without it, we can
never obtain any such victory. No strength of our own can
encounter such mighty foes, and we must at once fall in
the contest, and be utterly vanquished. By trust in the wisdom
of cod, we may be reconciled to all the trials and struggles

tribulation, kn-Owing that all things work together for oiir
and that the furnace of affliction is but the refiner's fire. With-
out such a conflict every adverse providence must appear dark
and cold, full of misery, apprehension, and gloom. * * * *
Again, by trusting in God's faithfulness, the unchangeableness
of his purposes, and his love, we obtain confidence in our own
final salvation : we obtain the assurance that we shall ourselves
be enabled to endure to the end. But if we are without such con-
fidence, we cannot tell whether we shall endure steadfast for
a day. We can never be sure there will not some day come
some trial, some temptation, which God will not give us grace
to resist, and so, after all, we may fall back into perdition.
And then to talk of joy or peace in believing, of glory in tribu-
lation, of a hope full of immortality, would be mockery—it
would be an unmeaning accumulation of empty sounds.",

A Workman that needeth not to be Ashamed: a Sermon,
preached in Wallasey Church, on Sunday, November
Sth, 1846, by the Rev. Thomas Byrth, D.D., F.A.S.,
Rector of Wallasey. London : Hatchard and Son:
Liverpool: Newliog.
This is another affectionate tribute to the worth of the
late lamented Dr. Tattershall. The reverend author ap-
pends the following dedication to his discourse :—To the
bereaved partner of his departed friend the following dis-
course is affectionately inscribed by one who, she knows,
loved, and was loved by him, as a brother.
Dr. 13yrth justifies addresses to the living in honour of
the dead, from primitive example and from scriptural au-
thority, and then proceeds to dilate on some of the more
prominent characteristics of a faithful Christian minister,
and shows, in glowing language, that those features were
sweetly exhibited in the life and labours of Dr. Tattershall,
and that thus he illustrated the character of an approved
and successful minister of the gospel, and shewed himself
" a workman that needeth not to be ashamed."
Whilst speaking of the intellectual powers which the
head of the church sometimes calls into exercise, Dr.
Byrth thus eloquently pourtrays the wonderful powers
of mind possessed by his honoured friend :
"Powerful in its grasp, comprehensive in its range, keen in
its perceptions, and vigorous and quick in its actions, it pos-
sessed every quality requisite to constitute a master reasoner.
He shrunk from no subject, open to the investigation of the
human faculties, on account of its difficulty; was never satisfied
with an indolent and half executed examination of an interesting
question ; was not betrayed into hasty conclusions by over-
looking any of the essential links of an argument, nor allowed
himself to he embarrassed by. the snares of sophistry, or to be
silenced by the noisy pretensions of learned ignorance. His
wonderful powers of thought were, as is common with men of
the first class of mind, kept in constant activity. He loved
thinking for its own sake; as the eagle delights in the exercise
of its pinions, and cleaves the sky as it soars aloft for the sole
gratification arising' from the use of its strength, so did this
eminent man live in the habitual enjoyment of his common
faculties. His love of truth of every kind amounted to a pas-
sion. The natural reward of this noble feeling was an almost
marvellous skill in the detection of error. The calm good
temper—for he was never violent, and seldom severe—with
which he would, almost with a touch, reduce to nothing the
baseless fabric of some fond theorist, showed how little he had
been perplexed by what to others seemed unanswerable, although
paradoxical."

Another quality of Dr. Tattershall, of no ordinary ad-
vantage, is depicted with exquisite beauty :
" He was naturally of a heart feeling, evrn to tenderness.
No lofty abstractions ever removed him from the sphere of
humanity. His relationship to the family of man was never
forgotten, in his familiarity with trains of thought and specu-
lation, which seemed to entitle him to a place among wings of
a superior order. How often have I seen that majestic counte-
nance, which I shall never see again, suffused with tears, and
quivering with emotion, as he referred, or listened, to some
instance of suffering or distress. He would leave the most
fascinating society, or suspend the most interesting engage-
ment, at the call for his sympathy, or his assistance, without a
murmur of complaint, or a sign of impatience. The lanes and
the cellars of the town, amidst the darkness of the night, and
the violence of the storm, after a hard day of labour and
fatigue—l speak what I have seen—might bear witness to the
perseverance with which he sought out the abodes of the
wretched, and the liberality with which he relieved them. In
no case was he contented with the bare expression of sympathy,
although that cannot be always obtained from some; he heard
the tale of sorrow, and as if by instinct, immediately set him-
self to the task of doing something to wipe away the mourner's
tears. Like his divine master at the gate of the city of Nain,
he not only said Weep not,' but did what he could to remove
the cause of grief. I have seen him with the mourner. I have
seen him with the sinful: his endeavours to administer conso-
lation were successful, because he made himself a partner in
the sorrow : his expostulations were received with thankful-
ness, for they were unaccompanied with harshness. The
benevolence of his nature was especially manifested in the in-
terest he took in little children. He would give up some grave
discussion at any time to amuse them, and he hardly ever
seemed more happy than when he had succeeded in making
his mighty mind their plaything. Well versed in all the de-
tails ot political economy, and fully aware of the evils of men-
(betty reduced to a trade, he could never pass a beggar without
bestowing relief, if a child were in her arms. With this ten-
derness of heart, sanctified by divine grace, you will easily
perceive how well, in an important respect, he was calculated
to do the work of a Christian shepherd, and to feed the lambs
of Christ's flock."
The subjoined testimony is extremely valuable
"Dr. Tattershall was a thorough Episcopalian. And this
form of Church constitution he thought he saw more perfectly
exhibited in the Establishment of this country than in any
other portion of the Catholic Church, at least for a long suc-
cession of ages. I ought to state, that in his notions of the
importance of Episcopacy, he went far beyond the views of
those who believe it to be the best of several allowable forms
of polity : he believed that he found it prescribed by divine
authority in the New Testament. lie was from conviction,
and not from education, a member of the Church of England ;
and among all her sons, there was not one who loved her with
a more ardent affection, or did her work with more unshaken
fidelity. And Ido not think it inconsistent with the object of
this discourse, to draw fresh reasons from the contemplation of
such a character as that before us, for grateful exultation in
the possession of those seats of learning, and that apostolical
confession of faith, by which, under the thyme blessing, it was
disciplined and formed. The Universities of the land, and the
Articles of Religion, are, I believe, the main pillars of our
national greatness."

SMUGGLING.—A sailor was yesterday fined, at the
Police-court, in the mitigated penalty of for smuggl-
ing two gallons of whiskey on board of one of the Dublin
government mail steam-ships. The full penalty is £lOO.
STRIPPING CHILDREN.—A good-looking and well-
dressed young woman, named Sarah Haynes, was yester-
day, at the Police-court, committed for trial on two
charges of child stripping. It appeared that she bad
taken a string of coral beads from the neck of one infant,
and a Victorine, or boa tippet, from another, wiling both
of them into a bye place to accomplish her object.
WALTON BRECR CHURCH.—This church, which is now
nearly completed, displayed a lively appearance oa Wed-
nesday last, a number of colours having been hoisted on
the summit of the spire to denote that the top stone bad
been safely fixed. We presume the church will be opened
about the close of the present year. The interior displays
a neatness and beauty we scarcely ever saw equalled,
whilst the exterior is no less strictly in accordance with
the best ecclesiastical and architectural taste.

THE LATE ROYAL VISIT AND THE EX-

MNYOR,

Whilst calumny at home has been pursuing the late
Mayor, Mr. David Hodgson, up to the last hour, and
even beyond it, of his retirement from office, it is pleasing
to find that in a higher quarter—by the Consort of Royalty
itself—his conduct in the administration of his office, as
chief magistrate of our town upon a trying occasion, has
been justly appreciated. We reported, at the time, the
great satisfaction and pleasure with which Prince Albert
appeared to regard the whole proceedings connected with
his recent reception in Liverpool, and the sense which he
frequently expressed to those around him, of the efforts of
Mr. Hodgson, in particular, to render his stay amongst
us agreeable and instructive. We have now to record a
voluntary act of his Royal Highness's, most flattering
to Mr. Hodgson, as proving that the expression of the
Prince's feelings, when here, was not the result of mere
impulse—not the mere prompting of a sense of politeness,
combined with an amiable heart—but of a deeply seated
conviction that the chief magistrate of Liverpool had
gracefully and judiciously fulfilled the duties of his high
office, and contributed materially, by his attention, to the
pleasure of our royal guest.
The following letter has just been received by Mr.
Hodgson from Lord Sandon, and has been shown us by a
friend, announcing his appointment as a county magis-
trate, at the express desire of Prince Albert himself.

London, Norember 14th, 1846

MY DEAR SlR,—His Royal Highness Prince Albert has
begged me to announce to you, that, desirous of marking in
some way agreeable to you has sense of the attention shown to
bins by you during his first visit to Liverpool, and his gratifica-
tion at the circumstances of his visit generally, and believing
that it might be agreeable to you to be placed on the magistracy
of the county, he has expressed to Lord Campbell, the Chan-
cellor of the Duchy, his wish that that step should be taken,
and that accordingly the Chancellor has agreed to do it, con-
ceiving it to be one in every way fitting ana right.
It g►ves me great pleasure to be made the medium of this
communication. [The remainder of the letter was private.]
I am, dear Sir, yours very truly,
To D. Hodgson, Esq. SANDON.

Any comment upon this graceful compliment is super
fluous. His Royal Highness appears to recognise the bear-
ing and manners of a gentleman towards him, although
the Whig-Radical censors of Mr. David Hodgson do not;
and feeling that something more than the every-day offer
of knighthood was due to him, has thus been pleased to
confer upon him an honour which he will value the more
as it enables him to be of increased usefulness to his fellow
creatures.

THE GLORIOUS PRINCIPLES OF MEL

REFORMATION

The Rev. Dr. Cumminz, of London, the able and elo-
quent advocate of the British Reformation Society, is,
we rejoice to perceive, advertised to deliver two lectures
this week, in the Concert Hall, on Tuesday and Friday
evenings, on the Romish controversy. We believe the
rev. gentleman's reception in our good town will be most
cordial. The Rev. Hugh M`Neile will preside, and the
platform will be crowded by the clergy of the English
and Scotch churches. The following extracts from the
report of the Reformation Society are sufficient to shew
the strong claims that society has upon the affections and
energies of Englishmen

" The Society has now added to its agency by appointing, in
addition to a Secretary in the North, another in the West of
England. The number of missionary meetings held by the
Secretaries during the year, many of them with unparalleled
success, amount to nearly one hundred."

" The impressions made at Bridgewater, Taunton, and Tor-
quay, were deep and eminently practical. Many who were
disposed to follow their minister, the Rev. Mr. Capes, into the
Church of Rome, have been arrested and retained in the
Church upon solemn and Scriptural grounds. Protestants
have taken their children from Romish schools and sent them
to r —nt a P-

Protestant ones ; and nth [ew „omanists have been sa-
vingly enlightened and reclaimed in that neighbourhood. The
Rev. J. 111ingworth, the Superior of Cannington, and the Rev.
W. Fanning, the Priest of Taunton, successively entered into
discussion with the Rev. Dr. Cumming, before immense audi-
ences of Protestants and Romanists, and were not only sig-
nally defeated, but were brought within reach of the most
faithful exhibition of the truths of evangelical religion by their
opponent; and it is known to your Committee, that great and
lasting advantages were reaped by these discussions."

reduced prices. Books, calculated to instruct, have been lent,
and without noise, ostentation, or display, a great amount of
real good has been done." •

" The following is a statement" of the valuable publications
of the Society, sold at very reduced prices in the office, and
thereby at great loss to the Society :-31,240 tracts; 90 vols. of
tracts ; 48 controversial works. There have also been granted
to clergymen and others for distribution and lending libraries :

LYING-IN HOSPITAL —We draw the attention of our
readers to the annual meeting of the subscribers to this
hospital, and sincerely hope that public sympathy may be-
come excited towards one of our most deserving charities.
We understand that during the past year a greater num-
ber of patients have been admitted than in any previous
year. We are sorry to add that its funds are in a very de-
pressed state. The Rev. Hugh M'Neile has kindly pro-
mised to preach a sermon in aid of its funds on the 16th
of December, and we hope other Clergymen will follow
in succession, in making public appeals for so excellent a
charity. _ _

THE MERCURY AND ABERCROMBY WARD.—The
grave charge of our contemporary against the Conserva-
tive Committee in this ward, of treating, intimidation and
bottling of voters, turns out to be a cock and bull story,
amounting to nothing after all. A man going up to vote
for Mr. Kaye, " said something in a low tone" to Mr.
Muncaster, who, the Mercury's informant says, replied
"you shall have a glass after, I'll see ;" and Mr. Hand.
a member of the Select Vestry, was observed to walk up
to the polling booth with a regisrar of births and deaths.
The bottling story was •• told by a tory to a gentleman of
our acquaintance," of remarkably gullible character, no
cOubt. What a pity- that a party should be reduced so
low, as to have recourse to such paltry charges to account
for their defeat !
THE WAREHOUSE "Fix."—The Journal intimates
that we ought to make an apology for having discredited
his statement with respect to the difficulty encountered in
getting insurances effected upon the Albert Dock ware-
houses. We do not see the necessity of doing so. Our
contemporary, however, has proved so far right, with re-
spect to the existence of a combination amongst the in-
surance offices to charge a high rate, as almost to warrant
a charge of being an accessory before the fact. The al-
leged " fix," however, is nowhere visible. Liverpool can
insure its own without London aid. We may ask, how-
ever, what becomes of the confident assurances of Mr.
Evans and others, that the dock warehouses would be
insured by the London Companies for a two-and-six-
penny rate. These companies do not seem overfond of
such warehouses.

ST. PAUL'a CHURCH Scnooes.—The sermons which
we announced in our advertising columns last week, as
being to be preached at St. Paul's Church, in support of
the schools connected with that church, were delivered
on Sunday last ; in the morning by the Rev. John Jones,
Incumbent of St. Andrew's Church and Rural Dean, and
in the evening by the Rev. Fred. Parry, Minister.of St.
Clement's Church, Windsor. The civic procession at-
tending the new Mayor to St. Peter's Church, interfered
very seriously with the attendance at the morning service.
For as the schools are situated in Exchange Ward, the
aldermen and members of council, for that and St. Paul's
Ward, would gladly have availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity of countenancing and supporting the efforts making
in behalf of the schools, situated as they are, in near pro-
ximity to the warehouses and offices of the merchants,
brokers, &c., of this great emporium of commerce, and
giving education to the children of warehousemen, porters;
boatmen, and labourers, whose labours serve to accumu-
late the wealth of the merchant princes of Liverpool.
The rev. gentlemen, for whose services the committee are
so much indebted, exerted them very energetically to re-
commend the charity to their hearers. Their stirring
appeals were of a character not to be evaded ; and the
earnestness with which those appeals were made, must
have carried conviction to every heart. The collections
amounted to £2O, a sum very far from adequate to meet
the urgent claims of these institutions.
PRIVATE BUSINESS FOR THE NEXT SESSION.—The
private business before parliament in the next Session
bids fair to find our legislators very little less labour than
they had to discharge in the last. Many of the earlier
notices, however, are of a widely different character to
those which marked last November with a lasting noto-
riety ; for they consist almost exclusively of applications
by established companies either for deviations, extensions,
or amalgamations. The symptoms of mania for new pro-
jects of that period are totally abated. Liverpool and
Birkenhead united are, however, more than unusually
prolific in their applications for private bills. Liverpool
has produced four notices independent of railways; Birken-
head no less than eight, making twelve altogether. Chester
furnishes three, one of which is for the payment of a
chairman, a judge of the quarter sessions, out of the
county rates ; Manchester and the neighbourhood about
half a dozen. The railway applications, as far as we can
see from a cursory glance over the formidable pages of the
Gazette, will, in the aggregate, exceed a hundred, being
scarcely one-fourth of the bills which perplexed our legis-
lators last session. Probably one half of these will be un-
opposed, and if so, there will be a speedy release of the
parties who solicit them ; but in the case of many other
bills, such as for the establishment of water works, we
anticipate lengthened enquiries and strong opposition.
Our neighbours, the Birkenhead authorities, are intending
to take both gas and water into their own hands.
THE EXTORTIONS OF RETAILERS.--4/1 all cases of
scarcity of provisions, or of other commodities, advan-
tages seem to be taken of the consumers, by the levying
of an extra profit by the retailer. The price of bread goes
up a little faster than the price of flour advances; but it
does not come down quite so fast. And thus it is with
most other articles. Any increase in the cost of the raw
material falls at once upon the consumer; but a decrease
goes most frequently into the pocket of the dealer. Who
is there, for instance, who feels materially advantaged by
the recent reductions of our tariff, which were to compen-
sate for the infliction of an income tax ? Few, indeed !
The saving is intercepted in most instances by the
merchant, the manufacturer, and the retailer. We
never noticed an instance of this so glaring as is af-
forded by the price charged at present by the retailer
for the article of potatoes. We have been told so often
ot
there etrhee failure o f
suchh thein potatog
a s
a crop,
d thatspecimen
c is no of tnecrtohpat;
and week after week the poor consumer is called upon to
pay for his supply a famine price. In the suburbs of the
town two shillings for 201bs. weight is confidently de-
manded and obtained ; one and tenpence is obtained in
the town. Yet five shillings will buy from the farmer a
bushel of excellent potatoes, or in weight 921bs. The
profit upon retailing this quantity is, therefore, little
short of four shillings, or 80 per cent. upon the cost
price If housekeepers would have their eyes open, and
look occasionally at the market intelligence with which
they are daily presented, they would save themselves
from such exactions. Perhaps, for the benefit of the
poorer portion of our population, stores might be opened
in the town for retailing an article of food so indispensable
at reasonable rates.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

THE RIVER PLATE

The London Times of yesterday gives the following
news in addition to what we publish elsewhere :
Mr. Hood's mission has failed, the chief cause being
the disinclination of the French Minister in the Rivet
Plate to acknowledge the authority of Mr. Hood.
The point on which the misunderstanding between Mr.
Hood and Baron Dcffaudis has arisen is, "Whether Mr.
Hood's instructions were definite as to raising the block..
ade of Buenos Ayres, previous to Hosas withdrawing the
Argentine troops from the Banda Oriental." The result
has been, that the truce which had existed for a short
time between the besiegers and the besieged in Monte
Video terminated on the day of Mr. Hood's departure.
The blockade of Buenos Ayres is still enforced, 81-
though a considerable contraband trade is nevertheless
carried on between Monte Video and Buenos 'Ayres
itself. The river Parana is still nominally kept open, the
Comus being anchored at Obligado to prevent theerectlOU
of batteries.

PORTUGAL

A part of the insurgents, under Celestino, whom the
old German encountered, have fallen back upon the
Algarve, and Schwalbach has returned from the plain be'
neath Viana, the scene of the late skirmish, to join the
Queen's force in investing Evora.
Das Antas is at Leiria, 45 miles from Coimbra, and 80
from Lisbon, witb, it is said, 6000 regular troops, and
8000 volunteers ; but the numbers are doubtless consider'
ably exaggerated. The Queen's troops in the norther!'
provinces are not strong enough to attack Oporto. Casalt
who commands for her most faithful Majesty, has onli
about 1200 men, and no artillery, and has fallen back on
Penafiel; and Vinhaes, who is in Tras-os-Montes, is jest
as weak, and hemmed in by guerillas.
On the 7th of November, the Queen's troops under the
command of Saldanha, now created a duke, marched ell!
of Lisbon with a view to attack the insurgents. They din
not muster more than 3,500 men, and were very week'
Lisbon has been left in charge of the Municipal Guard;
1000 strong, and the volunteer battalions. The Diario
the 7th contains a decree degrading Bomfim, Almargen!,
Celestino, Vasconcellos, Estevao, and others, from their
titles and honours.
The advanced guard of Das Antas's forces had reached
Ca:lava!, only 3G miles from Lisbon.

Martial la;V is proclaimed throughout Portugal .
The Times of yesterday, referring to this intelligenCe,
says :—At this moment it is not quite certain whether the
Queen of Portugal still rules in her hereditary kingdom,
or whether a revolt arising from very sufficient provoca-
tion has not deprived her of that crown of which England
guaranteed her the possession.

George Russell Clerk, Esq., was unanimously appoint-,
ed Governor of the presidency of Bombay by a Court nt
Directors held at the East India-house on Wednesday.
At a meetine in Ormskirk, held a few days since to con'
sider as to applying for an act to improve the town, it OS
resolved to wait th sanatory measures of Government.
An English newspaper has just been started at Rome'
It is entitled The Roman Advertiser, and appears once s
week. The editor is a Mr. Hemans, but the proprietors
appear to be all Italians.

The Observer says that the Queen has not directed the
removal of the Wellington statue, but that the resolution
to that effect has been come to by the government, and
that, before the Queen had even seen the statue.

arrivals of this day being about 1.400 tons. A large Ato;
trian brig has arrived at Kinsale, also with a cargo 0'
Indian corn.—Cork Reporter, Nov. 13.
Loss OF £3oo.—On Wednesday, the clerk of an Wen-
sive linen-draper, in Oxford-street, whilst proceeding
from that district to Corn-hill, either lost or was robbed
of a pocket-book, containing, in :addition to other valua-
ble papers, Bank of England notes to the extent of ur-
wards of £3OO. No clue being obtained likely to lead to
recovery of the property, a large reward was offet ed
staff
for its restoration.
A receipt for cooking Indian corn was sent by Lord
Monteagle on Sunday last to the chapel of Shanagoldenr
in order that it might be published. The Rev. Mr Listen:
Roman Catholic curate, said that the people did not need
ouch humbug rcovipto that all they wanted was the c0,,,r0'
and they knew very well how to cook it if they had it. He
concluded by saying that he would not degrade himself or
degrade the altar by reading such epistles to the c°Dgre-
gation.— Limerick Examiner:

COAL IN AUSTRALIA.—A. supplement --
extraordinary
plaint
Mr. Samuel Moore, of a stratum of coal in a clay
thirty-five miles south of Freemantle, and within a short
distance of the Murray River. The stratumwas found abege
three feet from the surface, of clay, similar to the shale °f
Lancaster. On digging some yards east and west, the
stratum was again met with, dipping to the west about
two inches in the yard. A boring instrument was to De
transmitted to the field of operations.
ATTEMPTED ENORMOUS BRIBERY OF A RAILWAY
OFFICIAL.—The Sunday Times says that " some singe'
lar disclosures are likely to occur respecting an attempt
to bribe a railway official, of high standing, to betray the
interests of his company. We are in a position to state
that the sum offered was £25,0001 The offer, was, het'
ever, rejected with indignation." Our contemporary i 5
perfectly correct. The terms offered were " £20,000 or
£25,000, to purchase the gentleman an estate, and enable
discoverY, 11"
him to retire." We are in possession of the whole facts
of the case, and know that the party who made the offer
had a narrow chance of being thrown out of the window,
and having his neck broken, by the official to whom the
insulting and scandalous offer was made.—Morning
Herald.

then asked Mr. Early if he could oblige him with a chee'r

that he wished to send that amount to a friend in White,
