telling them that all this peace, all these blessings, under
God, are in no small degree owing to them. (Hear,
hear, and cheers.) How often have I felt, when ,ittitig
even in some of the smallest committees, though not
unobservant of the divisions of the christian world, that
I have never loved our christian dissenting brethren as
well as I ought to have done. I never have felt any re-
luctance to give them the right hand of fellowship, but
now I feel that I can hold out to them both hands.
(Loud cheers.) But much that is deeply interesting to
the christian heart—much that affords a peculiar character
of our meetings, came from our American friends. They
came over to this country—a country from which their
forefathers had gone as pilgrims to a foreign land—in
order to show that they retained the same spirit which
animated their fathers—that they were not enemies, but
still our friends. But for that circumstance, much of
the effect of these meetings on the world would be
mistaken. It can now be shown that it is possible
for christians from all parts, and differing widely from
each other on some points, to find some common
ground on which they can meet to prosecute some
common objects, and though they dill: r, yet can
all meet together at the throne of grace, to address
one common Father, being baptized by one common
spirit. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) My reverend fathers
and brethren, to come now to the conclusion of this-1
speak unto you to whom I am commissioned to deliver
this valedictory address. But for one consideration, no
office could have been more welcome to me. What were
the satin in which I should have clothed this address, my
reverend brethren, will be made up by the tone of this
meeting, who from these tables will echo back every word
of kindness ; so that the words of the speaker will be
considered only as the key-note to the sentiments ex-
pressed. (cheers.) A valedictory address ! We will take the
old Saxon word. We come here to bid you a heartfelt fare-
well ! We come to speak of our past scenes of enjoyment.
When friends separate, the first feeling upon the mind is,
that there is to be a suspension of all the happy intercourse
which they have enjoyed, and we cannot help thinking
we have enjoyed Christian communion, which for a time
must be separated—perhaps on this earth we may never
meet again ; but I am sure I speak the sentiments of every
individual at these tables, when I say we offer to you, my
reverend brethren, our deep tribute of gratitude ;—we
thank you for all your labours in this blessed cause—we
desire to thank you for the warmth with which you have
supplicated the Throne of Grace for all these blessings
upon us; we thank you for all these things, and in the
name of the Lord we say unto you, because we have a
right to that—" Brethren, pray for us." And we say
to you, in the name of our common Father—May it be
well with you in every relation of life—well with you in
your own homes—well with you in your intercourse
with our common Lord—well with you in your domestic
relations—well with you as ministers of the Gospel—well
with you in your congregations—may it fare well with you
in the hour of death—may it be well with you in the day
of judgment—may it be well with you throughout eternity!
(Loud cheers.) %Thee friends separate, my rev. brethren,
it is often with a feeling that they shall never meet
again. The word farewell is often associated with much
foreboding. It may be that in the flesh we shall never
meet again, and yet I speak confidently when I say, hav-
ing been commissioned to give utterance to the invitation,
Oh, come back to us again as soon as you can ! (Con-
tinued cheering for some time.) If I were to say it would
be a bright day in our spiritual history could we agin see
Dr. Cox (cheers), Mr. Church (cheers), and Dr. Patten
(continued cheers); but I should fail in recollecting the
names of all, but their persons and their conduct will never
be effaced from my memory. (cheers.) We hope you
may come back again. We hope we shall have an oppor-
tunity of seeing you again—forgive me if it he a self-
invitation. We hope we shall see-you, even beyond the
Atlantic (loud applause) ; I say that, because I know
your Christian love, and that we shall have a place in
your affections, even as you have in ours, and therefore, if
we come uninvited, we feel assured of a•welcome. (cheers.)
But it is not with the Christian as it is with the men of
the world in bidding each other farewell. We shall meet
again ! We have met in connection. with a great future
which is to come—we look forward to that meeting where
there will be no valedictory address—where there will be
no parting tears to mar the brightness of Christian love—
where we shall always be looking back upon the past, and
this day amongst the number, and thank God who has
made this as it were an oasis in the desert. (Loud
cheers.) He who makes all things work together for
good to them that love him will continue all these things,
in order to make us more blessed in His presence than we
should have been without them. (Applause.) And you, my
friends, who have come here, and who have endeavoured
to bear the same testimony shall never have occasion to
look back with regret upon what we have overcome ; we
shall never regret having joined in this holy cause ; in hav-
ing joined against the great enemy of the Lord, to unfurl
the banner of Christian union before the whole world.
(Loud applause.) When we say farewell permit me to
ask that we at least—indeed we know it will be so—should
have an interest in your prayers. When you cross the
mighty Atlantic, 0 brethren, pray for us—let us not be for-
gottenin your best scenes, let notthehallowed opportunities
which we have enjoyed pass away from our memories,
let us endeavour to draw closer together the bonds of
Christian union, and let us tell unto the world that which
some will consider a great wonder, that we have met with
persons differing from us on matters of great importance,
and yet agreeing in all that is essential ; that we have met,
not to differ, but to agree. (Loud cheers.) My rev.
brethren, may the Lord bless you and keep you I May
he lift up the light of his countenance upon you, and bless
you! The Lord shine upon you, and give you peace !
Farewell! (The rev. gentleman resumed his seat amid
loud cheers.)
Dr. Cox was then called upon, and addressed the
meeting in an eloquent speech, which lasted nearly two
hours, in the course of which he denounced the existence
of the slave trade in America, as a subject, of grief and
discomfort to all true Christians, but deprecated the con-
duct of those who advocated an appeal to arms to put
it down.

THEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSON SQUARE.-
NEW TRAGEDY BY MR. LINN.EUS BANKS.

Last night, the tragedy of " the Swiss Father," from
the pen of Mr. Linnwns Banks, a gentleman, doubtless,
well known to many of our fellow-townsmen as the author
of several published poems of some merit, in addition to
numerous contributions to our local press, was performed
for the first time at the Theatre Royal, before a respectable
and rather numerous audience. Unfortunately for the au-
thor, two of the actors upon whom he had relied to take
the leading character were absent. One part—a lead-
ing part—had, therefore, to be read ; and every one
in the slightest degree acquainted with theatricals, will
easily judge how much the effect of the piece was marred
by this unforeseen circumstance. In fact, the author's
leading characters were completely burked; and it was
only because, here and there, a few indications
reached us that the writer of the play had some poetry in
his composition, that the whole affair was not at once
condemned to the Tomb of all the Capulets.
Of the incidents or the plot of the drama, we need not
attempt to say much. The mumbling of one gentleman
who reads his part made a hiatus here and there, which
quite prevented us getting a fair ❑otion of the story.
The plot, however, appeared to us to hinge upon the at-
tempt of a villainous noble to get possession of the
daughter of a miser, who is enamoured of an humble
suitor, whom she marries. And here ends the first act.

Twenty- years are then supposed to have elapsed. The
daughter of the miser is represented as dead, leaving a
daughter, whom the same villain who has sought to wreck
her honour is enamoured of, and a son, who is sunk in
the vice of gambling. The catastrophe was to introduce
a murder and other matters; but it was judiciously cut
short, and, in fact, the piece concluded without an Ending
at all that was intelligible. We dare say Mr. Banks was
glad to get his tragedy concluded. We are sure
the audience heartily sympathized with him. We ought
not to omit saying, that one character, Peter Peterkin,
by Mr. Pearson, was excellently played, and is an excel--
lent character.

At the conclusion of the piece, which the audience re-
ceived, notwithstanding the performers generally did not
do it justice, with a very kindly and approving feeling.
Mr. Banks delivered a farewell address to his f-llow-
townsmen, on his approaching departure to the United
States, which was well received. The remaining part of
the performances was of ordinary merit.

Mr. Justice Williams, it is thought, died of gout in the

stomach.

lancholy event took place at a public-house, and the
policeman, in striving to quell a slight disturbance, struck

REVISING BARRISTER'S COURT.—The annual court
for the revision of the borough list of notices was held on
Tuesday last, at the Sessions-house, and adjourned till
the following day. The total claims and objections were
as follows :—Householders, Everton claims, 8, objections,
41 ; Kirkdale claim, 1, objections, 42 ; Liverpool parish
claims, 39, objections, 384; West Derby claims, 58, ob-
jections, 68 ; Toxteth-park claims, 22, objections 82 ;
Freemen claims, 16, objections, 541. Total, 144 claims,
1158 objections. Mr. Bretherton, solicitor, as usual, ex-
tended his eloquence in support of the League party and
their tools. Mr. Bremner conducted, with his usual
ability, the case of the Conservatives, the attendance of
which party was principally to support objections.
The result was, in Everton ward, out of 42 Radical ob-
jections, 34 sustained, and 8 failures. In West Derby
69 Radical objections were valid, and only 9 claims
out of 58 substantiated. In Toxteth-park only 7 out
of 81 Radical objections were substantiated, and only
one claim out of 22 claims, was successful. In the parish
of Liverpool, 242 objections of the Radicals were held
bad by the revising barrister, owing to want of proof of
the proper service of the notice upon the overseer, which
the Radical party say reached his bands at a quarter to
twelve on the last night, while the Conservatives contend
that it was not received until the following morning. The
decision is subject to appeal. On Saturday, the claims
and objections of the freemen were gone into, and of
whom 152 were struck off, many of them being dead
or householders. Amongst those objected to upon the
