CHURCH-RATE

WM 3
Tary triumph of Radicals and Dissenters, who would
not have been successful, were it not for the apathy of
professing Churchmen, many of vi

refusal of a Church-rate for Liverpo

m had been persuaded
into the belief that the rate was intended for the support
of Tractarianism and choral services in the Parish Churches,

an assertion so utterly without the shadow of a foundation,
that it is surprising it should have gained any credit
whatever. The public could hardly have been aware of
nportant fact, that in the Parish Churches of Liver-
pool the whole of the ground floor is free to all, without
distinction between rich and poor, who are there upon a
practical equality ; whereas in no other places of worship
is anything like the same amount of accommodation
afforded to those who cannot pay for it. The rate was,
however, refused, and the evil consequences of such an
utter disrep--

Bard of the spiritual instruction of the poor

are becoming every day more apparent. This is parti-
cularly the case with St. John's Church, which is largely
attended by the humbler classes, and to which the atten-
tion of the congregation was especially.called on Sunday
week, by the Rev. W. F. TAYLOR, the incumbent.
At the conclusion of the poll for a Church-rate, it
was distinctly understood from the Churchwardens
that St. John's Church would not be affected at all by the
decision, and that its expenditure would be continued
as usual; so that no attempt was made, either by

g for additional aid or by any curtailment of the
outgoings, to meet the difficulty. Within the last few
the Churchwardens have declined to meet
the expenses of the current half-year
.for gas, coals, choir,
&c., stating that as the Act of Parliament did not render
the payment of these charges compulsory, they could not
defray them, no Church-rate having been granted. The
sum required was about £l2O, and under the circumstances
of this unexpected refusal, the Wardens of St. John's
Church had no alternative but, in the first instance, to
throw themselves on the congregation ; and accordingly,

weeks, however,

tinned, when the Rev

pointed out the hardship of the position of St. John's
Church. He stated that the ground-floor of the church
was entirely free for the poorer sort of people, from whom

FOREIGN

INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.—The Emperor Louis Napoleon left Paris on
Thursday, at half-past two o'clock, for Boulogne. All the

etween the railway station and the Biighton Hotel
were choked with the inhabitants. Amongst the crowd
were a number of English of both sexes, sailors dressed in
their Sunday.best, and labourers and villagers from the
country around. On Friday the Prince Ernest steamer,
from Folkestone. entered the harbour, with the horses of
Prince Albert, and a detachment of Life Guards on board.
They experienced a most cordial reception on landing. All
the usual rides with reference to the landing of passengers
were dispensed with. The British Ambassador to France
had already taken apartments at the Hotel Pavilion Im-
perial ; •Soliman Pasha and his son Iskander Bey have
also taken apartments ; many English officers and noble
personages from England have done the same. Lord
Hardinge, General Wetherall, and a brilliant staff, will
also be present. The first and second floors of the Hotel
du Nord have been engaged to accommodate the guests
invited for the oceasion. The King of the Belgians was
to proceed by water from Ostend to Calais, and from that
town post in his carriage to the review ground, where his
horses will await him. The Prince de Chimay, (an em-
barrassed grandee,) who has been spending the summer
months, as usual, at Boulogne, will be in attendance. The
report abroad is that the Belgian King will make no stay
at Boulogne, but will, immediately after the review, return
to Calais, and embark for Ostend. Prince Albert was to
take his departure from Osborne-house yesterday, in the
royal yacht, and proceed up channel for Boulogne, where
he will disembark early to-day. His Royal Highness was
to be accompanied, in addition to his own suite, by the
Duke of Newcastle, her Majesty's minister of war, and
attended to the French port by four vessels of war, though
his Royal Highness is not entrusted with any diplomatic
commission. The royal and distinguished visitors of the
French Emperor will witness the grand military evolu-
tions of the camp to-day and to-morrow, and take their
departure on Thursday. The camp is now composed of
about 100,000 men, and presents a most imposing and
brilliant appearance. The cholera panic assumes almost
incredible proportions in some parts of the south of France.
Not a day passes without the news of some government
functionary, often a very important one, having deserted
his post. The manager of the Provence, a newspaper
printed at Aix, has written a circular to his subscribers,
informing them that all the editors and printers being
absent in consequence of the epidemic, the publication of
the journal is suspended. Colonel Espinasse, the com-
mandant of the Military School of Cavalry at Saumur, is
just dead, after a " short and terrible illness," doubtless
the cholera.

BELGIUM.—The Belgian ministry has tendered its re-
signation. It was delivered to Bing Leopold, at Ostend,
by M. Liedts, one of the members of the cabinet. This
determination was come to on Friday, at a council held
under the presidency of M. H. de Brouckere, the minister
of foreign affairs.

SPAlN.—Queen Christina has at length been able to leave
Madrid. She set out on the 28th ult., with the consent
of the government. Her immediate destination is Portu-
gal. There was an attempt at an insurrectional move-
ment on the departure of the Queen Mother, but it was
put down by the destruction of some barricades, by the
troops and the National Guard. The behaviour of the
latter, under the circumstances, called forth especial praise.
AusTELL—Accounts from Vienna state that the nego-
ciations, for the accession of Austria to the Anglo-French
treaty offensive and defensive, are suspended until the re-
ceipt of the answer from Russia to the demand for gua-
rantees. If that answer should contain a refusal, the
negociations will be resumed. The following is contained
in a telegraphic message from Vienna of Thursday night :
—New proposals have been made by Russia, which will
involve new negociations. Letters of the 28th, from Ber-
lin, say that Austria has so far accepted the Russian pro-
posals as to have countermanded the further movements
of troops. Telegraphic despatches from Vienna show that
diplomacy is again active in the Austrian capital. The
expected message had arrived from St. Petersburg. Prince
Gortschakoff was holding out new expectations and pro-
mises to Austria, even going the length of pretending his
master's readiness to accept the four conditions laid down
in the notes exchanged between England, France, and
Austria, on the Bth, in order to induce negociations.
Practically, the answer of Russia amounts to a determina-
tion of still claiming the protectorate of Turkish subjects
who are members of the Greek Church. Nevertheless, it
is asserted that Austria is inclined to entertain the new
propositions, which are likely to figure in Count Buol's
next note to the Western Courts.

GasEcs.--We learn, by an Athens despatch of the
28th of August, that the Porte has refused to delay
rigorous measures against the Greek shipping, unless King
Otho will recognise the demand of an indemnity to Turkey.
The Greek Government had replied by making a counter-
demand, to an amount of considerable importance in the
present state of Turkish finance. As the cholera is very
violent at the Piraeus, the French Commander has pro-
posed to remove his men to Athens. This has caused a
most unpleasant sensation in the capital.

THE WAR.

THE OPERATIONS AT BOMARSITND,

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA

FRENCH OFFICIAL DESPATCHES,

Through the Reine Hortense, which arrived at Calais
on Wednesday, despatches have been received by the
French -government from General Baraguay d'Hilliers,
dated Bomarsund, August 21, with enclosures from the
French General of division, Niel, commanding the artil-
lery at the siege, together with a report from Vice-
Admiral Deschenes, of the naval operations, also dated
from Lumpar the 21st. They occupy collectively no less
than half-a•dozen columns of Thursday's Moniteur, but
as they add little or nothing to the details which have
already appeared, it will be unnecessary to. reprint them.
The annexed, however, which are the concluding remarks
of General Baraguay d'Hilliers' despatch, will be read

with interest :

By the British and North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Arabia, Commodore Judkins, which arrived on Sa-
turday, we have intelligence from New York to the 23d
ult. She also brought 116 passengers, and $1,163,037 in
specie and £2OO in English silver.

"The intention of the Emperor of Russia was to make
Bomarsund one immense entrenched camp for his military
and naval forces, to the first of which there were great
obstacles, and which had been a constant menace to the
neighbouring states in the Baltic. After obtaining pos-
session of the Isles of Aland, Russia has not ceased to
augment the fortifications of Bomarsund ; and if, from
that which exists and that which was in course of execu-
tion, we may judge of the projects of that power, Bomar-
sund appeared destined to become the advanced sentinel
and the principal port of Russia in the Baltic. _ _ _

- The Arabia left New York at 2 25 p.m. on the 23d, had
light and favourable winds the entire run, and arrived in
the river at 6 15 p.m. on Saturday. During the passage
she attained a very high average speed, having ran 300
miles and upwards on seven successive days. She passed
the Asia on the night of the 23d ; and signalised the fol-
lowing vessels :—The American ships Panama and John
Bright; the Bremen ship George F. Hurlbert ; and the

" The destrtictiOn of Bomarsund will be a considerable
loss for Russia, not less in a material sense than in a
moral aspect. We have destroyed in eight days the
prestige attaching to those ramparts of granite, which
cannon, it was said, could not overcome. We know now,
we cannot doubt it, that there is nothing in those fortifi-
cations, so fine and so menacing, which is not at the
mercy of a well-directed fire.

" This happy result, Monsieur le Marechal, is :due to
the intelligence, the devotion, the courage of the officers
and soldiers of the expeditionary army and the allied
squadrons. Each one has done his duty. Danger,
fatigue, privations have been reckoned as nothing by the
admirable French soldiers whom it is so glorious to com-
mand. If the troops of the expeditionary army have
responded to the expectations of France, and justified the
confidence which the Emperor pleased to repose in them,
permit me, 31. le Marechal, to pray you to call for the
benevolence of his Majesty upon the officers, sub-officers,
and soldiers whom I consider worthy of reward. Two
thousand soldiers belonging to the marine infantry, under
the orders of Colonel Fieron, and two companies of artil-
lery, under the command of Chef de Battalion Freboult,
rendered us powerful assistance. It remains for me now,
M. Marechal, to render the warmest acknowledgments
for the assistance which I so frankly received, not only by
the French fleet commanded by Vice-Admiral Parseval,
but also from the English fleet by Vice-Admiral _Napier.
" General Harry Jones, by contributing by his marines
and sappers to the attack on the towers of Bomarsund,
has shown us once more what may be expected from the
bravery and discipline of English soldiers. The greatest
cordiality did not cease to prevail not only between the
officers of the two fleets and those of the expePicinary
corps, but also between the soldiers and sailorkl -
The destructive effect of the fire of the 12111,der of
Admiral Chad's ship, the Leopard, is especially nuked by
the French General of Engineers. He describes it as not
only remarkable for its precision and great range, but
that at every discharge " ilfait e'elager le granit."

Madame Grisi and Signor Mario had safely arrived at
New York, where their reception does not appear to have
been of the most enthusiastic nature. The members of
the Musical Union got up a demonstration, but it was a
failure.

THE BLACK SEA FLEET.
THE CHOLERA.

TR correspondent of the Times., writing from Baits-
chik Bay, on the 19th ult., says :—The cholera, which has
long been hovering about, has at length visited the fleets
in earnest. It attacked the French first, and they suffered

Fires had occurred at Williamsburg and Brooklyn, at
which three men and one woman lost their lives.

Telegraphic advices had been received from New Orleans
announcing the arrival of the United States with the Cali-
fornian mail of the Ist August. A great fire had occurred
at Marysville, five squares of buildings were destroyed,
and the loss reached $250,000. The State Democratic
Convention assembled according to announcement, and,
after great disturbance, a regular split occurred, and two
tickets were nominated. The trial of the City Marshal of
San Francisco, for official misconduct, had resulted in his
conviction. The wheat crop had been all harvested. The
yield was ♦ery large, and great quantities were being
exported.

Captain Klockgethar, of the Bremen ship Hindoo, whilst
on his passage to New York, picked up a boat in which
were two human skeletons. The boat was • full of water,
but being of a light construction had continued to float.
A few remnants of clothing were found, but nothing to
give any clue to the unfortunates.
Several lives had been lost at Boston by the fall of a
building.
Forty-four deaths had occurred at Buffalo from cholera.

so severely in some of the large ships tliat they put to sea
in hopes of benefiting by a change of air. A few days
after, this terrible sickness fell upon us. A few unmis:
takeable cases occurred in several of the ships, and we put
to sea also. On Saturday, the 12th, our squadron sailed,
consisting of the Britannia (Admiral Dundas,) Albion,
Trafalgar, Vengeance, Queen, Rodney,London, Retribution,
Furious, Tribune, and Diamond. For two days we got on
pretty well, the Trafalgar only having suffered ; but on
Monday night (14th) the disease broke out in all its awful
furyin several ships simultaneously. In 20hours 60 men died
in the Britannia, and 30 in the next 20 hours. Those who
have only witnessed the effects of this fatal pest on land
can hardly imagine the additional horror which accom-
panies its progress at sea. Let them imagine 1,000 men
narrowly caged in a floating box ; a heavy sea obliges them
to close all the ports, so that, notwithstanding all the ap-
pliances of air-sails, &c., the air at night becomes abomi-

are sudde

enly,-alinost in an instant

with the death agony, raving, perhaps, or convulsed, in the
midst of this dense mass of sleepers. "Who can tell the
horror of such a scene ? It was enough to quell the bravest
spirit, or to destroy the balance of even a well-poised
brain. But in each of the ships both men and officers did
their duty most nobly in these trying hours. The generous
self-devotion of the men to their dying comrades was to
the last degree touching. They nursed them, cheered them,
and waited on them indefatigably, and with all the gentle-
ness and tact of women, while the officers divided them-
selves into watches, and generally superintended and aided
the doctors in their arduous duties. No man shrank from
the disagreeable, but manfully went through his dreadful
duty. Some of the men nursed three sets of sick, and at
length sank themselves. As for the poor sailmakers—
whose trying task it was to sow up the bodies in hammocks
hour after hour, without rest—some died, and others were
fairly worn out. Every man and officer were so weakened
and debilitated that the ordinary duties -of working the
sails of these ponderous ships could scarcely be carried on.
Happily the wind and sea fell, and on Thursday, 17th,
several of the ships anchored again at Baltschik. It is
very remarkable that no officer of any rank has seriously
suffered. To what can this be attributed ? Is it to their
superior modeof living ? But midshipmen are not renowned
for sumptuous fare ; and, as to the atmosphere bel
night, many of the officers are not better off than the men.
On the day before we sailed, a hot stifling blast from the
land swept over the ship. It was so unpleasant that it
drove me below ; and I now find that most people noticed
it, and it generally has the credit of having laid the seeds
of the disorder. The Britannia has suffered most (about
100,) which is singular, as she has been most remarkably
healthy hitherto during her entire commission. Furious
(about 17,) Albion (50,) and Trafalgar (35,) are among the
next sufferers. All the ships which were lying at Besika
Bay have suffered, while those which have joined since
have comparatively escaped. However, things are evident-
ly steadily mending, and fortunately there are men here
ready to fill up the gaps. At this instant we have sound
ships enough to perform any duties required of them, and
to give the " Muscov" a very handsome thrashing should
he venture out of his kennel.

Another fatal fight had occurred between the Irish and
native Americans near Buffalo. The former raised a
liberty pole, with a cross upon the top of it. This led to
a fight, in which three men are said to have been killed.
The steam-frigate Jacinto, which was under orders for
the Baltic, had been compelled to put into Boston, disabled.
The cholera was gradually disappearing from New York.

. The Agamemnon, Bellerophon, Sanspareil, and Leander,
now at Varna, have almost escaped all sickness. Courage !
Let us hope that the worst is passed, and that we shall
look back upon this as a terrible dream.
_ . _

The French loss is more severe than ours, and in each
the crowded 3-decker has suffered more severely than the
freer and more roomy 2-decker. None will readilyforgetthe
distressing splash which broke the stillness of the night or
of early morning, when 13 or 14 fine fellows were periodi-
cally launched into the sea, sown up in their hammocks,
and weighted with cannon-shot. Medicine was not of the
slightest use ; the work of death had commenced at the
extremities, in many instances, before even a complaint
had been uttered.

On Sunday, the 16th ult., General Baraguay d'Hilliers
and Vice-Admiral Napier went up to Hango. In their
sight the Russians blew up the fortifications, and retreated
to Abo, where there are 15,000 troops.
Abo will be attacked by the allies.

The Medin, Scott ; Gorgon, Cracroft ; Driver, Hobart ;
and Lightning, Sullivan, engaged 18 Russian gun-boats,
carrying about tO men each, and four steamers, at Abo,
on the 18th of August, without loss.

Admiral Martin, with a small squadron, is gone up the
Gulph of Bothnia.
It is given out that the Russian cabinet will not accede
to the Anglo-French propositions in their present form ;
and that it is affirmed at St. Petersburg that a disastrous
war of many years would not justify such sacrifices and
humiliations as the Western powers would impose on
Russia ; therefore, she will hold out and wait for better
terms. Count Buol, on the other hand, declares that
Austria herself will now negotiate on no other basis than
these obnoxious propositions.
A BRUSH WITH THE COSSACEB.—They write from
Bucharest, 19th August : —lbrahim Pasha has sent four
regiments of cavalry as far as Busco, on a reconnoitring
expedition. Arrived, the day before yesterday (17), near
the town, the Turks were forewarned that there was still
in that town a detachment of Cossacks. About 50 men
were immediately detached, and fell upon them. A skir-
mish took place in the town itself; the Russians lost six
men and two prisoners ; the Turks had one dead and two
wounded, and remained masters of the town.
In the despatches from Galatz, of the 16th ult., mention
is made of another combat which had taken place on the
7th, near the Sulina mouth, between the auxiliary troops
and the Cossacks. The troops which had landed effected
a reconnaissance on the 7th by going up the river, from
the Custom-house, and after a two hours' march, they met
a piquet of Cossacks who had one cannon, and who fired
with grapeshot upon the English. The English detach-
ment, which reckoned 100 men, then withdrew to a
covered position, and waited for the enemy, who did not
make their appearance.
Very contrary opinions are put forth as to the proba-
bility of the recent fire at Varna, occasioning a delay of
the Crimea expedition. It is calculated that the expedi-
tionary army will .consist of 80,000-40,000 French, 20,000
English, and 20,000 Turks. The enthusiasm of the Turks
is described as something extraordinary. On the 13th,
3,000 of the Ottoman troops were embarked at Constanti-
nople on board six French frigates—the Ulloa, the Lavoi-
sier, the Pomone, the Eumenide, the Mouetti, and the
Dauphin. This was the first son.vg of Turkish troops
who are to form part of the expedition. On the 14th,
3,000 more Turks were embarked•on 'bciard the Napoleon,
the Charlemagne, the Mogador, the risitihone, and the
Megere. These troops are delighted at forming part of
tile expedition and to be under the orders.of Suieyman
Patios, an excellent officer, who Boas French nal.

POLICE COURT. YE
STERDAY

Asset:rm.—Ann Smyth and Patrick Brunton were
charged with having knocked down and robbed a man
named John Halpin, in Fontenoy-street, on Saturday
evening. The prosecutor, who admitted that he had been
drinking, stated that as he was passing along the street
on his way home he was attacked by the prisoners, who
knocked him down, and robbed him of 11s. The case was
fully proved, and the prisoners were each sentenced to be
imprisoned for three months.
ROBBERY BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT.—Ann Yates or
Fox was charged by Mrs. McCarthy, residing in Moon-
street, with having stolen from her wearing apparel to the
value of about £9. It appeared that Mrs. McCarthy had
taken the prisoner into her service on Thursday last, and
on Friday the prisoner, taking advantage of her mistress's
temporary absence,' dressed herself in a gown and other
apparel belonging to the prosecutrix, and also possessed
herself of several other dresses, two or three pairs of boots,
a mantle and a shawl; in addition to which she took also
a pair of boots, and a dress coat, besides other articles be-
longing to her husband David McCarthy. The prisoner
was detected offering some of the articles in pawn. She
offered no defence, and was committed for trial at the
sessions.

GAROTTE ROBBER T.—George Evans, Charles Eaton,
and Thomas Glover were charged with robbing a man
named Joseph M`Farlane, on Sunday morning, about
three o'clock, in Back Leeds-street. The prosecutor stated
that as he was going along the street, at the time named,
he having had a few glasses of ale, he was suddenly set
upon by the prisoner Eaton, who seized him by the throat,
and threw him to the ground. The other two prisoners
then came up and assisted Eaton to rifle the prosecutor's
pockets. They took £2. 4s. in money out of his prmket,
and the boots oft' his feet. The prosecutor was rendered
insensible by the treatment he had received. Police con-
stable 625, in going his rounds, had his attention attracted
by the groans of some one in distress, and proceeded to
the spot whence the sounds emanated ; h

saw three men

as if in the act of dividing money, and on perceiving him
they separated and ran off in different directions. He
laid hold of the prisoner Evans, who had a pair of boots in
his hand; witness then procured assistance, and the other
two men were likewise secured. On examination he
found the prosecutor lying on the ground apparently
much stupified by the ill-treatment he had received. On
searching the prisoners, money less than a pound in
amount was found on them. The boots found in Evans'
possession were identified as those which had been taken
from M`Farlane. All the prisoners, who were well known
to the police, were committed for trial.
THROWING STONES AND CREATING A DISTURBANCE
ON SUNDAYS.—TweIve boys were charged, before Mr.
Mansfield, by Mr. Superintendent Quick, with creating a
disturbance in Parliament-fields on Sunday last, by throw-
ing stones, a kind of annoyance which, by its extent and
frequent repetition, had become a cause of serious com-
plaint in the neighbourhood. Complaints having been
lodged with Major Greig, constables Nos. 58, 524, 586,
and 665 were despatched to the spot, on arriving at which
they found about a hundred and fifty boys engaged in a
regular contest with stones and other missiles, some of
them being armed with slings, and out of the number
they apprehended the prisoners. Mr. Darcey, merchant,
who resides in Grove-street, near the place, stated that
the disorderly conduct was repeated every Sunday, and
that many persons, besides being annoyed and frightened,
were actually injured by the stones which were thrown.
Mr. Mansfield stated, that on former occasions when
similar complaints had been established as in the present
ase; he hact from motives of leniency, ordered the parties

impropriety complained of. He hid there-
fore resolved to inflict a more severe punishment in future;
and was determined to do all in his power to abate the
nuisances complained of. He sentenced the prisoners to
pay a fine of five shillings each, or to suffer fourteen days'
imprisonment.
