A L A.D KILLED nr A. CARTHORSE; -- On Saturday
morning last, John Barton, a youth aged 15, son of Gilbert
Barton, miller, 15,Victoria-street, Everton, left his father's
house about eight o'clock to go to his employment at Mr.
Marples's printing-office, where he was engaged as errand-
boy ; on reaching Scotland-rbad, he was looking at some
carts being unloaded near St. Martin's Market, when a
cad loaded with potatoes was going up the ascent into
• Market-street, and the boy came in contact with the
horse and was thrown to the ground. The horse being a
spirited animal, started forward suddenly and trampled ou
the boy, whose head was also crushed by the wheel. Po.
•constable 245, who was passing at the time, conveyed
the body to the Deadhouse. The policeman stated at the

inquest, which was held yesterday, that no blame was
attributable to Richard Sutton, the driver, and a verdict
of accidental death was returned

earnest exertions of those who had devoted their time,
trouble, and talents, to raise so large a sum of money ;
and when he told them that they had raised above £50,000
for this purpose, it would be admitted that Liverpool had
stood forward as much, and more, than any other town in
the kingdom, in endeavouring to complete so good a
work. When he first came to Liverpool as a clergyman
not

s a rector, he was not sure whether there were six or
seven churches in it, whilst now he hau the pleasure of
witnessing the time when there were between thirty and

torty churches.—The ceremony was then gone through,
and concluded by speeches from Mr. Groves and the Rev
Dr. Baylee.

service was celebrated in the Cathedral, in which a large
congregation were assembled. The bishops were met, on
their entrance into the Cathedral, by a large number of the
local clergy, preceded by the churchwardens. The Bishop
of Manchester appeared in full canonicals,and occupied l,he
throne, which has been erected for him. The prayers
were read by the Rev. Canon Clifton, and the lessons by
the Rev. Charles Richson. The first lesson was the 33rd

fifty of the supporters of the institution, lay and clerical,
dined together at the Palatine Hotel. The Bishop of
Manchester occupied the chair, supported by the Bishop
of Chester and the Bishop of Sodor and Man. The Rev.
Joshua King was in the vice-chair. The Bishop of Man-
chester, in proposing " The army and navy," observed
that if ever there was a war which deserved the approba-
tion, as far as war could deserve it, of ministers of reli-
gion, it was that in which we were now engaged to put
down a most unprincipled attempt upon the liberties of
mankind, marked by more than an ordinary degree of
departure from that good faith, high honour, and senti-
ment which ought to characterise a Christian monarch of
the present day.—The healths of the prelates present were
drunk, and the Bishop of Manchester, in returning thanks,
urged the importance of regard, in the selection of young
men for ordination, not merely to their individual piety,
but also to their ability to maintain the position of the
Church as an efficient part of a great empire. They must
have men able to take holy views and to combine them
with large and high views. If they introduced men of a
lower standard than that which was generally considered
necessary for the Church of England, they would be doing
an injury irreparable in its consequences, not merely to
themselves but to those who were to come after them, and
whom the Christian was bound to regard. His lordship
concluded by proposing the health of Lord Grosvenor, the
president- of the institution, for whom the Bishop of
Chester responded. The toasts concluded, the bishops
and other clergymen retired, and a conversation ensued
relative to the financial position of the institution. It
was introduced by the honorary secretary, who observed
with respect to the parent institution, that they were just
concluding a year of more than usual importance, and he
might say of anxiety, many changes in the constitution
having taken place. Though the subscriptions were large,
they -did not meet the grants which -were .made' at every
anniversary. Last year they voted the sum of £1,200;
the sum they could actually depend upon was only £1,070,
so that there was a deficit of £l3O. There was an abso-
lute necessity for an increase of the funds of the parent
society, as new cases of an urgent description' were before
the committee, who had been compelled to say with re Spect
to them that the granting of relief depended upon the
bounty of the society. The amount required to complete
the "liquidation fund" was £330, and there was a pros-
pect of its being realised. In the clergy-orphan school,
there were not so many scholars as there ought to bo, to
make it payable; and the terms were therefore lowered
seven or eight months ago. What they wished to do was
to fill the school (where there were at present only 45
scholars, although there was accommodation for 80), and
to clear off the existing debt by subscription. The Rural
Dean of Ashton attributed the lack of support to the non-
diffusion of information with regard to the institution.—
£3O was collected on its behalf at the Cathedral, on Sun-
day, and the collection on Thursday amounted to £35
making a total of £65.
STOPPAGE OF WIGAN CHURCH BEI
A few days since, a meeting of the congt
deciding upon the course to be adopted to provide funds
parish church was held in the vestry, for the purpose o,
for the uses of the church, in the place of the church-
rate. It was then estimated that the sum of £3lO
would be required for the current year; and it was re-
solved that a subscription should be entered into for the
purpose of raising that amount. A committee was formed
to canvass for subscriptions. On Thursday evening last
another meeting was held at the vestry, and it was
then stated that £2lO had been received or prom-
and that about £3O additional might be expr
question then arose how the deficiency was to be
persons who were at present absent from home.
The three largest items in the estimate were, the verge.
£5O; the organist, £5O; and the bell ringers, £45 for the
peal, and about £lO for the six, eight, and half-past ten
o'clock bells. It was considered desirable to contin
services of the verger and organist, and it
the services of the ringers should be dispens
