PRESENTATION TO THE REV. H. CARPENTER,
BY MEMBERS OF HIS CONGREGATION.

At a numerously-attended meeting of the congregation
of St. Michael's Church, held in the School-room, Nel-
son-street, on Wednesday evening last,—Mr. Tollitt, one
of the churchwardens, in the chair,—a handsome silver
tea and coffee service was presented to the Rev. H.
Carpenter. The principal articles bore the following in-
scription :
" Presented to the Rev. H. Carpenter, A.M., Minister of St.
Michael's, Liverpool, by members of his congregation, as a token
of their Christian love, and as a testimonial to his faithfulness
in preaching the' truth a it is in Jesus.'—June Ist, 1844."
The following are copies of the address and answer :

Mr. AIKIN said. (Sat as it sottld not affect the interests
Of the trust, he did not see hoe/ they could interfere.
After some further conversation, it was resolved that
the committee ought not to move in it.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the dock receipts during
the last week had been £15,443 13s. 10d.; being a much
larger amount than was ever received in any one week,
and considerably more than double the receipts of the
corresponding week last year, which were £7213 10s. sd.
That, in some measure, had arisen from the long preva-
lenoe of easterly winds.
Mr.' Ev.a.Ns supposed that the members of the commit-
tee had rt.-!•td the evidence as to the Wallasey Docks, and
he
e reading,
wouldm7- as the result on his m;nd of what he had
been th!t it was not desirable to continue their
opposition to the WlZ!lasey Dock Bill.
Mr. Aiszts said be ha read the evidence very carefully,
and had come to precisely the same conclusion, and begged
to second the motion.
Mr. EVANS said one of the reasons was, that the Lords
of the Admiralty and the Lords Commissioners of the
River had made up their minds on the subject. He had
had that information from the best authority.
The CHAIRMAN said that would have the effect of
withdraw'ng the vote of confidence in the Parliamentary
Comaiittee which was passed last week.
Mr. AIKIN said not in the slightest degree. That vote
was come to before the evidence was placed before the
committee.
Mr. EvaNs asked if any answer had been received to
the letter to the Admiralty ?
The CHAIRMAN said he believed not.
Mr. EvAris said this confirmed the information he hkd
received.
The CHAIRMAN said they might put what construction
they liked upon silence, but he did not think the matter
was settled when Lord Harrington, the First Lord of the
Admiralty, had consented to sit on the committee in the
Lords. Both the Wallasey and Liverpool Dock Bills
had Passed the standing orders of the House of Lords.
The votes were then taken, when there appeared for
the motion, four ; against it, thirteen : namely, for the
motion, Messrs. Evans. Holt, Aikin, and Bailey; against
it, Messrs. Middleton, Moon, Chilton, Bold, Tobin,
Sandbacb, Smith, Holmes, Boyden, Trotman, Molyoeux,
Shand, and Nicol.
The CHAIRMAN said the Liverpool Dock Bill was op-
posed in the Lords.
Mr. MOLTNRUX.—By the Commissioners of Birken-
head ?
The CHAIRMAN said Mr, Jackson and Mr. Laird stated
that the Commissioners of Birkenhead never opposed the
bill. In opposing it, they did so as Liverpool mer-
chants.
Mt. EVANS thought the sub-committee ought to put
the general committee in possession of all the materials
for judging of the matter. The plans of the Wallasey
Docks ought also to have been placed before them.
The CHAIRMAN said the plans were there : they had
only arrived that morning.
Mr. Atiraw.—Of course they have been before the sub-
committre.
The CliAinsaArc—l believe not.
Mr. MILIN.—You surely never would oppose plans you
never saw.
The CHAIRMAN.—O, I have seen them very often
myself.
The committee then proceeded to financial matters.
