PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED

The Petition of a General Meeting of illinistersof various
Evangelical denominations of Christians and other In-
habitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, held on Thurs-
day, May the 30th, 1814.
SHOWCTH,

That your Petitioners have examined the provisions of
Bill sent down to your Honourable House, intituled
" An Act for the Regulation of Suits relating to Meeting
Houses and other Property, held for religious purposes,
by persons dissenting from the Church of England."
Your Petitioners beg to represent to your Honourable
House, that certain Places of Worship and 'Charitable
Institutions, with which large sums of money are con-
nected, and which were founded or endowed by English
and Irish Dissenters holding Trinitarian sentiments, have,
by various means, passed into the hands of Unitarians,
who bave deviated from the religious principles of the
founders, aad for the maintenance and propagation of
which it cannot be doubted these benefactions were pro-
vided.

Your Petitioners cannot but regard the aforesaid mea-
sure with the utmost disapprobation and alarm.-as a dan-
gerous interference with the established course of law and
justice ;—since, if placed upon the Statute Hoak, it will
Fonder the mere fact of possession for a term of years,
'rrespective of the legitimate appropriation of such pro-
PtrtY, a valid title to its retention, and afford a precedent
wulch will place in jeopardy the provisions of trust deeds
already in exist
tuted, ence, or which may be hereafter consti-
Your Petitioners enter their decided and solemn protest
against such a measure because it sets aside the equitable
principle heretofore held sacred by the Courts of Law,
and confirmed 'by the highest judicial authority in the
realm :—" That the intention of the founders, where it
,oan be. ascertained by means consistent with the rifles of
legal Interpretation, shall govern and regulate the:admi-
nistration of charitable trusts t"—and because it legalizes
a perpetual injustice by prohibiting all inquiry into the
manifest breaches of trust by which Unitarians employ the
funds established 'by Trinitarians for the propagation of
doctrines of which their ow are utterly subversive.
Your Petitioners, therefore, earnestly pray your Tufo-
nourable House to reject the said Bill, or any other mea-
sure calculated to unsettle the existing law with reference
to the Constitution of Charitable Trusts in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c.
Carried unanimously. •

ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—On Satur-
day considerable surprise was occasioned by a statement
in the Times, that before its pages would probably have
been read by the public, the Emperor of Russia would
have set foot on the shores of England. The announce-
ment has turned out to be correct, his Majesty having
arrived at Woolwich on Saturday evening, at ten o'clock.
The arrival of the Emperor has, up to the present period,
for some unexplained reason, been kept a profound secret.
The Emperor travels incoy., and was conveyed, along
with his suite, in three Dutch steamers. Immediately on
landing, his Majesty and suite entered the carriages in
waiting to convey them to Ashburnham House, the resi-
dence of Baron Brunow, which' they reached at half-past
eleven the same evening, and, after partaking of coffee,
his Majesty repaired to the rooms prepared for him. On
Sunday morning his Majesty was waited on, soon after
nine, by Prince Albert. Their meeting was of the most
affectionate and cordial character. The Emperor threw
his arms round the neck of the Prince Consort, and em-
braced him fervently, Prince Albert returning the salute
with great apparent feeling. They remained in conversa-
tion a considerable time, when the Prince left, promising
to return at half-past one to conduct the Emperor to
Buckingham Palace, his Majesty intending in the mean-
time to attend divine service at the chapel of the Russian
embassy. At the time stated the Prince nrrived, in com-
pany with Sir Robert Peel, whom his Majesty received
vary cordially. They then proceeded to Buckingham
Palace, and his Majesty was presented to the Queen,
after which the Emperor was conveyed on a round of

MODE OF TESTING THE QUALITY G OF UAlvo._
Good guano is the excrement of sea fowl,
accumulating
in countries where there is no rain. It owes its virtue to
a int.nure, first as the presence of aminonical salts, and,
secondly to that of phosphate of lime or bone earth, derived ;
from the bones of fish. To test the ammonia, take a
spoonful of guano, and a spoonful of powdered quick lime '
put them iu a mortar, and rub them with a pestle fora few,
smell
seconds;
if the guano be genuine, the will resemble
that of a bottle of salts, and will make the eyes water in
the same manner. In this way it may be proved whether
the sample be guano or not, and also the strength of dif-
ferent samples may the comparative
strength of effluvia of the ammonia disengaged. To test
for the phosphate of lime, place aamall•
quantity,
(say an iron ladle or earthen ii .tic• , -,
I I m or r 100 grains) in any
similar vessel, in which heat it red hot over a clear fire,
for twenty minutes.- If the guano be genuine it will be
reduced to a white ash, weighing about 35 grains ; if the
100 grains when burnt, weigh much more than 35 grains,
the guano is not
genuine, or contains an undue Proportion
of sand or similar ir atter. The ashes of genuine guano I
will be found to be phosphate of lime nearlY pule. if
it be requisite to prove this a small bottle of acetic acid,
or white vinegar, will • dissolve the phosphate and hold in
solution, leaving the selica and alumina, (probable
amounting to three or four grains) undissolved. The
ashes should be left in the acetic acid for two days, and
the bottle occasionally shaken. It is assumed that the
Iguano to be tested be dry.— Farmer's Journal.
