_ WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR AND
INHABITANTS OF LIVERPOOL.
The PETITION of the PASSENGERS of the SWEDISH
BRIG AG.4THON.
ITR. BRADLEY and Mr. D'ALTON, in acknow-
ledging the very kind and handsome manner in which
the public have responded to their appeal on behalf of the poor
creatures on board the Agathon, have now to state that they
have succeeded, at a very moderate charge, to ship off five of
the passengers for New York. One amongst the sufferers is
dead, and her child has been sent back to friends in Ireland.
For a sum of .e9O, in addition to what has already been sub-
scribed, the whole of the remaining passengers be shipped
for Buenos Ayres, a gentleman, 11:h/Ls:tit 7'enevolent spirit,
having volunteered to forward them very considerable loss
and risk.

Mr. BRADLEY and Mr. D' oN would merely recapitulate
one fact, amongst other d' esses, that the poor creatures have
lost every penny of the' and savings, amounting to nearly
300: under the c' cumstances and destitute condition in
which they are left, the benevolence of the public cannot he
better bestowed.

CHURCH EXTENSION.
AN APPEAL for a NEW CHURCH for-the MILL-
ROAD DISTRICT, EV ERTON, near LIVERP.
This District is bounded by the Everton-road, the BreOOLck-road,
Rocky-lane, Whitefield-lane, Boundary-lane, and West Derby-
road.

It already contains more than 800 houses, inhabited by a
population of more than 4000 persons. By far the largest
proportion of the inhabitants belong to the labouring classes
of the community.
New houses are rapidly springing up in every direction, and
as there is a very considerable extent of ground already appro-
priated to building purposes, the
population will, in all proba-
bility, be very largely increased in the course of a few years.
There is, in the above district, no place of public worship
belonging to any Christian communion whatever, with the
single exception of the Everton National School Room, which
is in connexion with St. George's Church, Everton: and is
supported almost exclusively by the voluntary contributions
of the congregation of that church. The School Room has
now for the last thirteen years been used, with the consent of
the Bishop of the Diocese, as a place of wor iprand divine
service is celebrated there twice on eve unday, and once
also during the week. These service e attended by crowded
congregations; but the buildin s incapable of affording
accommodation for more the persons, in addition to the
children of the school.

It is surely needless, aftfr the simple statement of the above
facts, to point out tlic( urgent necessity which exists for the
immediate erectiowbf a church, to meet the spiritual wants of
a large and constantly increasing population. If the progress
of Infidelity is to be checked—if the pure doctrines of Holy
Scripture are to be maintained in opposition to the corruptions
of the Romish Church—if the careless and irreligious are to be
awakened—and if society is to be leavened by the sanctifying
principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—these most important
objects can only he effectually attained by regularly and sys-
tematically imparting to the people the knowledge of the saving
truths of our most holy faith, both in the public services of the
congregation, and also in frequent private visits of the Pastor
and his assistants from house to house.
Influenced by these considerations, we have resolved. under
the blessing of God, to make an appeal to all those who have
at heart the spiritual welfare of their fellow men, and the pro-
gress of the Gospel of truth, to assist us by such contributions
as they may be able and willing to give, in procuring, as soon
as possible, the erection of a church in the above district.
A piece of land for the site of the proposed church, in a
convenient and central position, near the east end of Audley-
street, has been kindly offered by J. A. CASE and J. G. Montt's,
Esquires, and se% eral other friends have already promised
subscriptions. It is also hoped that some assistance may be
obtained from one or more Church Building Societies.
The new Church is intended to accommodate 1,200 persons.
Half of the seats will be either entirely free, or let at very
small annual rents, not exceeding, in any case, five shillings a
sitting.

The estimated cost of such a building is .i'4,000. Another
£l,OOO will he required to furnish an Endowment Fund,
without which the Church cannot be consecrated.
The following Clergymen and Gentlemen have consented to
act as Trustees for the appointment of a Minister:—
The Rev. WILLIAM WITHERS EWBANK, M.A., Incumbent
of St. George's Church, Everton.
The Rev. Jon N HERBERT JONES, Incumbent of St. Augus-
tine's Church, Everton.
ADAM HODGSON, Esq., Breckfield Lodge, Everton.
JAMES Cu ERI E DuNcvs, Esq., Springfield, Everton.
NETLAM TORY, Esq., Netherfield. road, Everton.
The Rev. JOHN NIACNAUGHT, 8.A., of Wadham College.
Oxford, who, as one of the Curates of St. George's Church,
Everton, has been labouring in the above district for the last
two years, is to be the firstiMinister of the proposed new Church.
We earnestly hope that we may be cordially aided in the ac-
complishment a our bject by the united exertions of all our
neighbours, whether rich or poor. The work before us, as all
well know who have been engaged in church building, is one
which evidently requires a strong and persevering effort; but
if they who, in any degree, value the inestimable blessing of
pure religion, will earnestly support us according to ihe various
means wherewith God has blessed them, we doubt not that ne
shall speedily have the happiness of seeing a House of Prayer
and Christian teaching arise in the midst of a population which
so mnch requires it, to the glory of God our Saviour and the
eternal advantage of our fellow-men.
WILLIAM WITHERS EWBANK, M.A.,
Incumbent of St. George's Church, Everton.
JOHN HERBERT JONES, M.A.
Incumbent of St. Augustine's Church, Everton.
NETLAM TORY, Treasurer.
N.B.—Donations to the proposed New Church will be re-
ceived by the Treasurer, NETLAM TORY, Esq., or at the Bank
of Liverpool.

r CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION.—WC learn with
pleasure that that staunch, unflinching, noble-hearted
Champion of Protestant truth, Hugh Stowell, of Man-
chester, will lecture at the Amphitheatre, in this town,
on Tuesday evening next. The subject of his lecture is
" the supremacy of the Queen as contrasted with the pre-
tended supremacy of the Pope," than which we know of
no theme of deeper interest at the present time,
denouncing as it does not only those who yield obedience
to and acknowledge the supremacy of the Roman Pontiff,
but also that modern heresy which denies to our Queen
the chief authority in all things spiritual as well as tem-
poral. We would strongly advise our readers who intend
being present to make early application for tickets, as the
demand will be great, and the committee have arranged
not Ito issue more than the house will comfortably hold.
Tickets are now on sale at the office of this paper.

STEAM FROM LIVERPOOL TO HAVRE.—The Liverpool
and Havre steam-ship Margaret arrived in the Mersey, on
Thursday, from Havre, via Southampton, with a large
cargo of fine French goods for the United States, the Le-
vant, &c. It via ybe remarked, as a curious feature in the
"course of trade," that goods destined to Constantinople,
&c. are now forwarded from France to their destination via
the Mersey; no direct steam communication existing from
Paris to the Levant, except by the expensive overland route
by Marseilles. The Margaret brought, in addition to hcr
valuable cargo, a fair number of passengers. The steam-
ship Commodore, of the same line, leaves Liverpool for
Southampton and Havre, this afternoon, and carries out
to the former port a very considerable cargo of produce
and manufactured goods for London ; the route from South-
ampton to the metropolis, being by the Southwestern
Company's line. It is anticipated that this new mode of
communication with the metropolis will go far, when fully
known and appreciated, to overthrow the monopoly of the
London and Northwestern Railway, which now conveys
goods cheaper from Manchester to London than to the
banks of the Mersey.

-QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE CHAMBER

OF COMMERCE

Liverpool Chamber of Commerce was held in the

portrait of the late Mr. Canning, which has been pre-
sented to the chamber by Mr.J. Graham Gilbert, a Scotch
artist of eminence. The president,
THOMAS B. HORSFALL, Esq., occupied the chair.
the PRESIDENT, in opening the proceedings of the
Chamber, said,—Another quarter of a year having now
elapsed, your Council, as in duty:bound by the rules of the

Chamber, have called you togetner
hearing the details of the proceedings of the Champ

occupied their attention ; but perhaps none more so
than the one they are now engaged in—that of en-
