filling that service in the world and to Himself which God
sent her to perform. Yes, my Lord, -we have to tell a Bis,op,
who ought to be rejoiced, that he cannot be surprised at this ;
and, in the sad necessity of acknowledging that such a move.
ment does not gain his personal sympathy, we must tell him

more : that the age—albeit, as it is, one of "religious declen-
-will not suffer him to do more than deny his personal
sympathy. Strange, though it is out of a regard to popular
feeling that your Lordship has met us with a rebuff on this
occasion—still, popular feeling recognises our right to tolera-
tion; and, though it scorns the claims of our theology,
swells with its voice our demand for justice. It tells yon,
my Lord, that you cannot, in common fairness. employ the
powers of an office, the imposed condition of whose tenure is
an equal supervision over the whole Church, to crush a system
which is as legitimately a part of it as that which may chal-
lenge your individual approval; and that your predilections
as an individual, and your functions as Bishop of Chester, are
distinct in their relation to your diocese, and must be kept
distinct in the discharge of your office. It tells you that you
cannot violate the terms of agreement, nor substitute for a
principle of action a ale rolo, sic jubeo, which by its substit u•
tion becomes a prejudice or a caprice.
Yet your Lordship may say,—" under this plea for revived
frequency in the public ministrations of the Church, you
cover a design to promote what you call 'Anglo-Catholic '
tenets." Well, then, my Lord, is not the motive of opposition
to our scheme a desire to Puritanise the Church ? Suppose
you describe both parties by saying, that one aims to pro-
mote a spirit of regard for the Catholic consent of the first
ages of Christianity, and the other more particularly a spirit
of regard for the Reformers of the 16th century (a distinction,
mark, which I am not myself accepting). I win not say that
this first spirit is most incontestably and prominently the
spirit of the Church of England, as iz!so of the Reformers them-
selves,—that it is the tone of all her documents, the rule of
all her decrees, the professed basis and strength of her re-
formed position ; but I say these are the two parties whom our
rulers consent to tolerate. These are the "high" and the
"Mt." Ben comes LI the principle of comprehension, Mac

ENHEAD Docks.— The Birkenhead Dock
Trustees, at their meeting, on Friday week, which was pri-
vate, discussed the new dock extension scheme sanctioned
on the previous day by the Liverpool Dock Committee, and
the propriety of transferring the whole of the Birkenhead
Dock es

tateto the trustees on the other side. Ultimately
committee was appointed to confer with the Liverpool
Dock Trustees, and to take such other steps as they should
think desirable with a view of promoting the general in-
terests of the estate.

RO2dISH CATHEDRAL AT BIRIZENIIEAD.—We under-
stand that a meeting of the Romanist residents of Birken-
head took place a few days ago, presided over by the
bishop of the district, for the purpose of adopting mea-
sures preparatory to the erection of a cathedral in that
township, the expense of which is to be borne by the Earl
of Shrewsbury, who has offered a grant of £15,000. The
price of the land is to be raised by subscription by the
Romanists, and at the meeting upwards of £1,500 was
subscribed, Since then, it is said, a further sum of £l,OOO
has been received towards the purchase of the land, which
will cost -about £3,000 altogether. The site fixed updn •is
at the end of Price-street, near the park.

PRESENTATION TO MR. W. G. CRAIG.—A dinner was
dd on Friday at the Westgate Hotel. Newnort. for the

_
purpose of presenting a testimonial to Mr. W. G. Craig,
late engineer of the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal
Company. Mr. Craig is brother to Mr. J. Craig, surgeon,
of Liverpool, and also to Mr. James Craig, surgeon, resi-
dent at Birkenhead. Some time ago Mr. W. G. Craig
accepted an appointment on the Manchester, Sheffield, and
Lincolnshire Railway, and the officers in his former em-
ploy and other friends decided upon presenting him.with
a mark of their esteem. Mr. Wells, cashier of the Mon-
mouthshire Railway Company, presided, and the vice-
chair was filled by Mr. Lane, the traffic superintendent in
the same undertaking. The chairman presented the
testimonial to Mr. Craig. It consisted of a salver, kettle,
and stand, tea and coffee service, trays and spoons. The
salver bore the following inscription, beneath a crest with
the motto "J'ai bonne Esperance :"—" This salver (to-
gether with a silver tea-kettle and stand, tea and coffee
service, Scc.,) was presented to William G. Craig, Esq., by
the officers of the Monmouthshire Railway Company, and
other friends, on his retiring from the service of the above
company, as a mark of their respect and esteem. August,
1854." A second testimonial was then presented to Mr.
W. G. Craig by the working-men connected with' the
Monmouthshire Railway, who had been formerly under
his superintendence. This gift, which was presented by
Mr. R. Routre, consisted of an epergne of elegant design,
representing the grape harvest, three youths being en-
--pd in gathering the nendnnt fruit and •• •

..zu depositing it in
d vat beneath. Mr. Craig thanked his working friends
for the proof they had given him of their esteem ; and
after several toasts, &c., had been given, the meeting
broke up.

PRACTICAL Joxps.— At the Under-Sheriff's Court,
`er Caitle, on the 41)2t1 ult., Mr. Grace, the tenant of
occupied by the late Mr. Wm. Francis,
A well-known character at Bebington, obtained £3B from
Messrs. Johnson and Welsh, two young gentlemen who,

In one part of the ground are still to be seen two embat-
tled towers, mounted with soldiers and guns (wooden),
and looking very imposing to a stranger,. His successor
valued the broken figures more from being the production
of his relative, than from any intrinsic merit they pos-
sessed; and the defendants were made to pay for a mali-
cious and senseless joke.

OXTON AND CLAUGIITON HORTICULTURAL SHOW.—
The first exhibition of this society took place on Thurs-
day, in Birkenhead Park, and was very successful. A
handsome marquee, 90 feet long by 30 feet wide, was
erected on one of the prettiest sites of the park, close to
the margin of the lake nearest the grand entrance, in
which the ca/

_..,action of flowers, fruit, and vegetables, were
.aid out in a ,very tasteful manner. The day was beauti-
fully fine, the lawn of the park was smooth and dry, and
the harmonious strains of Gribbins' band enlivened the
proceedings. There was a numerous attendance of the
principal families of Oxton, Claughton, and the adjoining
districts ; and towards the evening, when the price of
admission was lowered, the marquee was thronged with a
large number of respectably-attired persons, of whom
altogether about 1000 visited the shoe-. Messrs. Hender-
son and Brown exhibited on the centre table a large and
.choice collection of greenhouse and stove plants, besides a
quantity of cut flowers and dahlias. Mr. Kellock's show
of greenhouse plants was also extensive and fine. The
best collection of six greenhouse plants belonging to Mr.
Duckworth, elicited general admiration, the fuschim
being remarkably beagtikl. The collection of wax
flowers exhibited by Mrs. Renaud and Mrs. Duranty were
exceedingly pretty, and were generally admired. It was
pleasing to witness the perfection of the cottagers' gar-
dens, as seen in the various productions exhibited. Mr.
Henderson, who was appointed to visit the cottagers'
gardens in Oxton and Claughton, has reported to the
committee of the society that there is much to hope for in
the future from the kind endeavour that has been made
to refine and elevate the taste and condition of that class.
FATAL OCCURRENCE AT LLANDUDNO.—We are ex-
tremely sorry to record the death, by drowning, at
Llandudno, of Mr. James Falconer, fifth son of the Rev.
George Pearson, rector of Castle Camps, Cambridgeshire,
and brother of Mr. Pennant Pearsor' who succeeded, on
the death of Lady Fielding, to a part of the estates of the
late David Pennant, Esq., in Flintshire. About eleven
o'clock on Saturday morning, the 26th instant, he went
out and engaged a machine for the purpose of bathing.
The tide was coming in and the water perfectly still, and
the machine was taken barely two feet into the water.
Almost immediately afterwards he was seen apparently
struggling in the water, and an alarm of danger was
raised. The Rev. Mr. Burn, though not an expert swim-
mer, rushed into the water, but was unable to render any
effectual assistance, and was taken out much exhausted.
A young man connected with the machines also swam to
the spot, but being encumbered with his clothes and not
a strong swimmer, he also failed. A boat sailing at a
short distance bore down to the spot, and other efforts
were made, but without success, and he sank before
available assistance could reach him. Drag-nets were
instantly put in requisition, but the body remained in
the waxer for nearly three hours, and on the lowering of
the tide was found almost on the spot where it had sunk,
then ceTered by about biz feet of watere—Chester Ceyrants .

TRADE AND MARKETS

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER—The glorious harvest weather has
had a beneficial effect upon this market. A more confident
feeling in the future prosperity of commercial affairs, to be
brought about by cheap food and an easy money market,
has given rise to more decided action on the part of buyers.
This has imparted a greater degree of firmness to the
value of both goods and yarns, and in but few instances
will the prices, that would have been willingly accepted
last week, now be entertained. In yarns the operations
for India have been renewed, in consequence of which
prices have regained their former position. For Germany
and the Continent generally, as well as for the Mediter-
ranean, the demand is also better, whilst manufacturers
are again more freely in the market. For all descriptions
very full prices are required. The goods market is also
better than of late. The Greek houses have again been
busy, and large orders for long cloths, T-cloths, and
domestics have been given out. The home trades have
been rather more in the market, but their offers are not
liberal enough to meet with very ready acceptance. On
the whole, decidedly more has been done in this depart-
ment of the market, and at faller rates.

ROCHDALE.—A very good demand for flannels, at
rather better prices, and a considerable amount of business
has been transacted. The wool market has not under-
gone much change ; it remains steady, and the tendency
of prices is upward.

HUDDERSFIELD.—A quiet market in both the piece
hall and the warehouses, very little business having been
transacted in any of the branches of the Huddersfield
trade. The fancy woollen and vesting trade has been
quieter than for some time past.

LEEDS.—More than an average quantity of seasonable
goods has changed hands ; there has also been rather more
doing out of the halls during the last few days. Prices

are without any alteration, the stocks moderate, and

pretty general expectation of a good trade for the winter
is anticipated. Business to a full average amount has
been transacted in the warehouses for the home trade, but
the foreign houses are rather quiet.

BRADFORD.—WooI : The disposition to buy wool at
present prices is not on the increase purchases are made
very sparingly, and as the supply of all kinds of wool in
the market is now abundant, the desire to sell is more
apparent. Noils and brokes are without change.—Yarns:
The contracts for delivery in September cannot be effected
at the same price as the last month. The spinners are
now in a bad position, from the great disproportion
ttween the cost of wool and the ruling price for yarns.
his applies to both spools and hank.—Pieces : There is
ked iteration in V • t fog --ek ; and,

no marked at. .4e business tor this wee._
as the old orders are completed, the manufacturers Beet
an advance, which the merchants are not free to give
the operations are limited in conseauenee. but as stoelo

are 10-w, and the production small, there is no doubt,-ere
long, it will be realised.

NOTTINGHAM.—No alteration in either of the staple
trades, although we are anxiously looking forward to an

increased business in consequence of being blessed with
so good a harvest as is now being housed in most splendid
condition. The prices of both hosiery and lace yarns if
not, at present, absolutely advanced—there is every
prospect, from the state of things in Lancashire, of their
being so before long.

LEICESTER.—AII things are moving very satisfactorily
in the various departments of trade, and the increasing
benefits that must result from the splendid harvest
weather and abundant crops, fill us with pleasurable
anticipations of the good time before us. Wools are firm,
and yarn at the late advance.
