the league millocracy, after this failure of their late at-
tempt to coerce the legislature into an adoption of their
mad schemes, settle down into orderly and peaceable
subjects, and enjoy themselves and allow others to en-
joy that returning prosperity, the symptoms of which
were so lately visible around us ? We believe we are
correct in saying " !" The league millocracy of
Manchester, or at least those gentlemen who pull the
wires which move that body, will do no such
thing. We are presently to be visited with difficulty
and danger of another description. The commerce
and the returning confidence of the nation is to be
shaken by a few bankruptcies ! One or more of the
Manchester banks, we are assured, are at this moment
in possession of a large assortment of this description
of missiles, wherewith to pelt the premier and his
cabinet. Live millowners of all sizes are to be put
into the legal howitzer, and projected amongst us !
Bricks and mortar, spindles and power-looms, are to
be " chawed up" without mercy or distinction, and the
isle is to be "frighted from its propriety" by the falling
ruins!

In sober earnestness, this, we are credibly informed,
is the next step upon the tapis. The banks in ques-
tion have selected this particular crisis (7) as one pecu-
liarly favourable for winding up a whole host of their
insolvent customers ! The " names and styles" of
some of these, it is said, will paralyse the community.
It will not, however, paralyse ourselves, if the banks
in question should eventually discover this to be as
dangerous an operation as the baffled insurrection !

LOCAL NEWS.

An elegant coffee-pot and salver has been presented to the
Rev. Dr. Beaumont on his leaving the Liverpool South Cir-
cuit " as a token of Christian affection and esteem."

The Treasurer of the Liverpool Dispensaries has received
roni. Mrs. Hugh Jones the sum of £3OO, as a donation to
:hose valuable charities.

We understand that to-day the select vestry will appoint
a secretary in the room of Mr. James Eckersley, who has
resigned.

The Duke of Brunswick, who had been staying at the
.Adelphi Hotel, honoured the Theatre Royal, on Wednesday
evening, with his presence.
It is stated by several of our contemporaries that the Rev.
C. T. Wilson, lately Incumbent of St. Thomas'-in-the-
Fields, has been appointed one of the curates of St. Nicho-
las' Church, and will commence his ministerial duties about

the beginning of November.
ST. SILAS'S CIIURCH.—A splendid new organ is being
erected in the church of St. Silas, Pembroke-place, by Messrs.
Bewsher and Fleetwood. It is in a state of great forward-
ness, and we understand that it will be first used in the ser-
vices of the church on Sunday next.
ROCK FERRY NEW CHURCH.—This beautiful erection,
by Messrs. Walker, of Birkenhead, which forms such a pro-
minent object on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, will be
opened for divine service on Thursday next. The Rev. Chan-
cellor Raikes will preach on the occasion. It is expected that
a vast number of the gentry from Liverpool and the surround-
Mg neighbourhood will be present.
BIRKENHEAD WATER WORKS.—This spirited company
after boring to an immense depth, on the top of Claughton
Hill, have at length found an abundant supply of excellent
water. A small engine is erected to clear the well, and then
the works will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible. No-
tices have been served on the inhabitants to make a return of
the supply they need for their respective establishments.
AMERICAN MAIL STEAM SHIPS.—The British and North
American Royal Mail Steam Company's new steam-ship,
Hibernia, will be launched at Greenock on Thursday next.
The Hibernia is about 200 tons larger and of greater power
than the present mail steam-ships. Captain Judkins takes
command of the Hibernia. Captain Edward C. Miller, for-
merly of the Acadia, will now command the Columbia.
A new Independent Chapel was opened on Thursday
last, at Liscard, near New Brighton. It has been built at
the expense of J. A. Marsden, Esq., and by him presented
to the Independent body. It will acccommodate 800 people,
and the donor has procured and fitted it up with the pulpit
and some of the oak pews of the chapel which was occupied
by the Rev. Dr. Isaac Watts, in St. Mary Axe, London, and
the marble monument commemorative of that eminent divine
he has had placed i❑ the vestibule of the choir.

• REMOVAL OF TILE REV. DR. BUTLER FROM LIVER-
POOL.—We understand that the Rev. Dr. Butler of St. An-
thony's has been suspended from the exercise of his pastoral
duties in Liverpool by the Roman Catholic Vicar Apostolic
of the district. It is rumoured that this has arisen from his
obstinately persisting to preach controversial sermons, in de-
fiance of the expressed wish of his superior. We have some
reason to believe such to be the cause, as the vicar's opinions
on the subject are well known. We remember that some
time ago when the priests of Seel-street Chapel proposed to
introduce Father Tom Maguire to their pulpit, they were
publicly inhibited by the vicar, and the reverend father did
not attend. Dr. Butler, it seems, has not profited by the
warning, and his removal from Liverpool has been determin-
ed upon.

IMPORTANT TO ELECTORS.-It IS important to city and
borough electors to know that the only means provided by
the Reform Act for apprising those persons whose votes have
been objected to, is the publication of a list containing the
names of all such persons, which, together with the list of
persons claiming to he put on the register, are made out by
the overseers, and exhibited at all the church and chapel
doors, in their respective parishes, on the two first Sundays
in September ; they are also kept by the overseers for perusal,
without fee, at all reasonable hours ; from Sunday, Septem-
ber 4th, to Thursday, September 15th, they are also bound
to supply copies of such lists to any person applying for the
same, and to charge Is. for each copy.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC AND TO STAGE COACH
AND OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS.—By an act of the last ses-
sion, which is to come into force on the first of next month,
the duty per mile is reduced from 3d. to lid. ; thus effecting
a saving of one-half, and about £4OO per annum on the om-
nibuses running on one line of road alone out of Liverpool.
Thus, while to the public a considerable reduction in the
fares may be reasonably expected, a tine harvest is open for
competition to coach and omnibus proprietors. At the same
time, security against impositions and racing will be obtained
by the regulations which the corporation, under their late
acquired authority, are about to establish.

SAILING OF TRANSATLANTIC STRANIERS.—The Great
Western steam-ship, Lieutenant Hosken, sailed hence on
Saturday afternoon, at five o'clock, having waited to receive
the Lon don morning papers, for New York. She carried
out one hundred and one passengers and 140 tons of fine
goods. She was not, on the whole, deep. On Sunday, at
noon, the British and North American royal mail steam-
ship Acadia, Ryrie, sailed for Halifax and Boston, with be-
tween seventy and eighty passengers. As these fine steamers
have taken their departure within nineteen hours of each
other, their voyages will attract very general attention.
Bets have, it is said, been laid as to which vessel will reach
her destination first.

THE HINDOSTAN STEAM-SHlP.—This most splendid
steam-ship made an experimental trip to Holyhead Bay, on
Friday last, and performed to admiration. She left the
George's pier at eight o'clock, A.M., went into Holyhead
Bay and saluted the town, and was again at the George's
Pier at 6h. 45m., P.M. ; thus accomplishing the entire dis-
tance in ten hours and forty-five minutes, although she had
an hour's flood against her at starting, and an hour's ebb
when returning to Liverpool. She made the run from the
Skerries to the George's Pier in four hours and forty-two
minutes, and from Point Lynas to the Floating Light in two
hours and forty-nine minutes. the latter a distance of 411.
statute miles. Her engines, of eight feet stroke, made fif-
teen revolutions per minute, although the machinery had
only been turned round in dock once, and for a few hours
prior to this trip to sea. The entire outfit of the vessel, ex-
cept the bare hull, has been accomplished since the 7th of
May last.
THE CHARGE AGAINST A CLERK.—On Friday last John
Ackerly was brought up again before Mr. Rushton on the
charge:of having obtained, under false pretences, a sum of
money belonging to Messrs. Woolfall and Percival, of Man-
chester. The former part of the case was heard on the pre-
vious day, and it appeared in our last. On Friday Mr.
Owen, for the prisoner, pointed out some clauses in the deed
of assignment to Messrs. Woolfall and Percival, from which
it appeared that those gentlemen were empowered to receive
a further sum beyond the £195, but not in all exceeding
£3OO, to cover any other deficiencies that might thereafter
appear in the prisoner's accounts, or any debts he might have
contracted in their name ; and he contended that they must
have anticipated further defalcations, and that, therefore, a
guarantee having been thus given, the charge could not be
construed into one of felony, or even perhaps of receiving on
false pretences. Mr. Rushton overruled this objection. The
prisoner was no longer in the employ of the complainants.
The proviso relating to the £3OO in amount was evidently in-
tended to cover any deficiencies not then discovered, that
might have arisen prior to the execution of the deed, but
would not apply to any new delinquency after he was dis-
charged. The evidence proved the facts stated to the satis-
faction of the magistrates, and the prisoner was committed
for trial at the sessions. In reply to questions put by
Mr. Rushton to Mr. Woolfall, after the prisoner was com-
mitted, that gentleman stated, that the prisoner and his
father held other debentures to the amount of £2OO, the pay-
ment of which the father had stopped, as they were in their
names. They had been defrauded by them to the amount of
£BOO. Mr. Dowling said it appeared that the object was to
compel Messrs. Woolfall to rescind the deed of assignment,
on condition that the debentures withheld were given up.

SCHOOLS FOR THR SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE
IRISH CLERGY.—We have been requested to draw atten-
tion to the advertisement in another column, soliciting as-
sistance from the Christian public towards the re-establish-
ment of the Irish Clergy Daughter's School, in a situation
more congenial to its necessities than that remote corner of
the sister island in which it was formerly placed. The ap-
peal is brief, but expressive; indeed, it is a cause that pleads
for itself, and, we are sure, needs but to be known in order
to draw forth the sympathies of all who desire to befriend
the ministers of the Established Church in Ireland, whose
privations, in many instances, have deeply and loudly called
for such institutions; and we feel convinced thaf a single
glance at

above
o ns, vice-patronesses, and ma-
nagingall,
the honoured names of
Ireland's noble viceroy and his amiable partner, who have
graciously condescended to patronise this establishment, will
insure all confidence and respect. It is now four years since
this school was first opened at Port Stuart, near Coleraine,
in the North of Ireland, since which period 45 young ladies
have been admitted, of whom 20, having completed their re-
gular course of instruction, have, left the institution, leaving
25 on the hooks at present. There are besides numerous
applications for the admission of pupils, which the state of
the funds renders it impossible to grant. „ An extraordinary
appeal is now being 'made in Ireland, onlbehalf of the welt-
known, and, comparatively, longer and more-firmly estab-
lished School for the Sons of the Irish Clergy, at Lucan,
near Dublin, for the purpose of enlarging its dormitories
and school-rooms, which have been found to be wholly in-
sufficient for the number at present on its books, and capable
of being maintained by its present establishment.
The cost
of this addition has been estimated at about £6OO. A letter
has been addressed by an Irish gentleman, of well-known
benevolence, resident in Lucan, to the incumbent minister
of Lucan, offering to contribute £l5O towards this desirable
object, provided that double that sum (viz.,. £300), shall be
collected for the same purpose, by sanction of the board of
trustees, within three months from the present date. This
sum to be contributed by individuals who have not heretofore
been regular subscribers. This offer has been cheerfully ac-
cepted by the trustees, Waco have requested the Rev. 11, E.
Prior to undertake the collection of the above sum, accord-
ing to the proposed offer, with the addition that if the sum
required should not be raised within the time limited, the
subscriptions should be returned. We can only add, that
we shall be happy to receive and forward to the Treasurer of,
either or both, the above valuable schools, any contributiOn
which may be left at the Office of this Paper.

thee and fellow-soldier in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus,
George Holden, of St. John's College, Cambridge, has ceased
from his labours in this world, and entered his everlasting
rest. He fell asleep in Jesus, on Sunday, the 24th of July,
at Nice, where he had been residing for the last six months
for the benefit of his health. His end was peace. Relying
for salvation alone on the one Saviour and Mediator, he
found the glorious doctrines which he had delighted to pro-
claim to his fellow-sinners when in health, able to sustain
him in the cold embrace of death. Mysterious as the provi-
dence may appear which has thus removed so zealous, bold,
and yet gentle and loving a spirit from this world, where his
popular talents and commanding eloquence appeared to us
so likely to be of extensive benefit to the Church of Christ,
we must not murmur or repine. Our loss is his infinite
gain. He now sees his Saviour face to face, and has for ever
done with sin and sorrow. His illness was such as to give
him the most intense bodily pain ; and while we therefore
mourn for the loss which his friends and the church have
sustained in his removal to a better world, we cannot but
rejoice for him that his warfare is accomplished, his course
finished with joy, and that he has been safely received into
the haven of everlasting rest. It is not improbable that a
brief memoir may be published of one whose short life was
rich in usefulness, and whom it was impossible to know and
not respect and warmly esteem. May we live as near our
Saviour as he did, and burn with as pure a zeal, and serve
him with as warm a love. May we die the death of the
righteous, and may our last end be like his."
SCOTCH KIRK, OLDHAM.STEEET.-011 Thursday next
the shareholders of this church proceed for the fourth time
to the choice of a minister for the vacant charge. We say
the choice, or appointment perhaps, for at the last meeting
of that body sixteen out of twenty-four present proposed
and resolved to support the appointment of the Rev. J. R.
Welsh, of Largs, on the ground of his being so much the
favourite of the congregatiou, and decidedly the more
talented preacher of all the candidates who have been heard.
Besides the majority of the congregation and of the share-
holders at the said meeting, we understand this young
minister carries with him a majority of the trustees, and
likewise of the Kirk Session, so that in every point of view
it promises to be a most desirable settlement, likely to heal
existing divisions, and ultimately give entire satisfaction to
all parties in the congregation. In the west of Scotland,
where Mr. Welsh cornea from, lie ranks high among the
young preachers of the day, and has earned for himself the
unmixed respect and goodwill of all classes, from his supe-
rior devotedness, assiduity, and faithfulness, as• a visiting
pastor. From all accounts he unquestionably deserves, and
we cannot doubt will on this occasion receive, the decided
and cordial support, as well as good wishes, of every true
friend to the good OLD KIRK.
LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT ACT.—This act, some of the
provisions of which are of a very salutary nature, came into
operation on Thursday last. The following are the clauses
which affect the publicans, a copy of which, we believe, has
been delivered, during the week. at each house in the trade:—
" Sec. 248. And be it enacted, that every person who, by
reason of his freedom of the mystery or craft of vinters of the
city of London, or of any right or privilege of such mystery,
shall claim to be entitled to sell foreign wine by retail, to be
drunk or consumed on the premises within the borough,
without license, shall be subject to all the provisions of all
acts made for the regulation of persons so licensed, (except
those provisions which require or refer to the taking out of
a license, either from any justice of the peace, or from the
Commissioners of Excise,) and in the case of any offence
committed by him against the tenor of the license, granted
under the provisions of any act for the sale of exciseable li-
quors by retail. to be drunk or consumed on the premises,
shall be liable to be dealt with, proceeded against, and punish-
ed, in like manner as if selling wine by license, and not by
virtue of such claim or privilege.
" Sec. 249. And be it enacted, that no licensed victualler
or other person shall open his house, within the borough, for
the sale of wine, spirits, beer, or other fermented or distilled
liquors, or permit the same to be sold therein on Sundays,
Christmas Day, and Good Friday; before the hour of one in
the afternoon, under a penalty not exceeding five pounds for
each offence: provided that nothing herein contained shall
extend to prevent refreshment to travellers.
" Sec. 250. And be it enacted, that every person lisensed
to deal in exciseable liquors within the said borough, who
shall knowingly supply any sort of distilled exciseable liquor
to any boy or girl, apparently under the age of sixteen years,
to be drunk on the premises, shall be liable to a penalty not
more than twenty-shillings ; and, upon conviction of a second
offence, shall be liable to a penalty not more than forty-shil-
lings ; and, upon conviction of a third offence, shall be liable
to a penalty not more than five pounds.
Sec. 286. And be it enacted, that if any victualler or keep-
er of any house, shop, room, or other place for the sale of any
liquors, whether spirituous or otherwise, shall knowingly har-
bour or entertain any man belonging to the said police force
of the borough, or permit such man to abide or remain in his
house, shop, room, or other place, during any part of the
time appointed for his being on duty, except for the purpose
of quieting any disturbance, every such victualler or keei,er
as aforesaid, being convicted thereof before any justice, shall,
for every such offence, forfeit a sum not exceeding five
pounds."
It will be seen by our report of the Intermediate Sessions,
which commenced yesterday, that the Recorder publicly
announced to the Grand Jury that the above clauses,
although so recently in operation, had already produced most
promising results. The statement of the learned gentleman
received a strong confirmation in the altered condition of
the police list. The average number of prisoners on Mon-
days has hitherto been 150 ; • Yesterday they amounted to
only 78, being little more than one-half of the customary
number. Of these there were 24 on suspicion of felony,
only one case of which was sustained, and 54 for being drunk
and disorderly. The chief influence, of the public-house
clause has been among the latter class ; for whilst the
charges of felony remained about stationary, in point ,of
number, the latter exhibited a decrease of almost 50 per
cent. We sincerely trust that the new act will continue to
work as beneficially for public morals as it has begun.

LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AT SEACOMBE.
TWO YOUNG FEMALES DROWNED.

On Saturday evening last, about nine o'clock, Miss Har-
riet Evans, of Gateacre, with a servant, went into the water
at Seacombe to bathe, from the garden-steps of her brother-
in-law, Mr. Bevington, (a short distance below the Ferry-
house,) and were, in a very short time, carried away by the
tide, and soon sank to rise no more; for though they cried
for help, the darkness of the night, and the isolated position
of the spot at such an hour, rendered it impossible to pro-
cure assistance in time to be available. The bodies were
both picked up on the retiring of the tide, at an early hour
on Sunday morning, and an inquest was held yesterday af-
ternoon, before Mr. Churton, the coroner for South Che-
shire, and a respectable jury, assembled at the house of Mr.
Frost, the Oddlellows' Arms, Seacombe. Both the bodies
of the ill-fated deceased were viewed in the parlour of Mr.
Bevington's house, which faces the river, and between which
and the scene of the catastrophe there is a small hanging
garden. They presented a very painful appearance, the
faces and eyes of both, and particularly those of the servant,
being disfigured.
. _

The follOwingevidence embodies all thefacts,—a separate
inquest being held on each body, each being found at a dif-
ferent time, and spoken to by different witnesses :
Miss Mary Hannah Dean, being sworn, said—l knewthe
deceased Miss Evans, who was in the habit of coming to
Mr. Bevington's to bathe, and I have seen her bathing there.
On Saturday evening last, at about half-past nine o'clock, I
was at Mr. Bevington's house, and she came there, and ex-
pressed a wish to bathe. I said I should not bathe myself
on such a night. The water was very rough at the time,
and it was blowing a gale of wind. It was nearly high water.
She unloosed her clothes in the house, and went to the bot-
tom of the garden. These are steps there leadiNg into the
water at tide-time. She generally walked down the steps.
It was not a minute after she left the steps when she and the
other were carried away. She called out for a rope more
than once, and the other also called out. lam sure she was
out of her depth at the time. I immediately ran to the
house of Mr. Bevington, and gave the alarm. I afterwards
went for assistonce. I saw nothing more of them at that
time. My father went down to their assistance. About
one o'clock yesterday morning I saw the body of Miss Evans
at a little distance ; I knew it by the dress.
[lt appeared, from the statement of a juryman, that a lady
attempted to save them by throwing out a rope from the top
of the neighbouring sea-wall, but it was found to be too
short, and, from the darkness of the night, unavailing. We
were informed, too, that a very daring attempt at rescue was
made by Mr. Tuton, a gentleman residing at Mersey View,
close to the fatal spot, and brother, we believe, to Mr. E. S.
Tuton, of Lord-street. Mr. Tuton, hearing the cries of the
drowning females, promptly leaped into the water from the
wall of his garden. Being unable to swim, however, his
praiseworthy effort was unsuccessful, and he himself very
narrowly escaped a watery grave.]
Thomas Barrow, a youth, who is a labourer, residing at
Seacombe said, be went down the shore, on hearing that two
ladies were drowned about ten o'clock. He saw nothing of
them. I and others got one of the packet's boats, with some
grappling irons, and searched for the bodies for a long time,
but without avail. They afterwards walked about the beach,
when the tide fell, until we found the bodies. We found the
body of Miss Evans first—about half-past one on Sunday
morning. She was lying on her face, left by the tide, and
partly immersed, and about 30 yards from the steps. She
had a bathing dress on at the time.
The coroner recapitulated the evidence, and the jury im-
mediately returned a verdict of " accidentally drowned."
[lt appears that the depth of the water varies at the steps,
occasionally, even more than the difference of the respective
heights of the tides, with north west winds, and that the
ground had been considerably washed away by the present
spring tides—so that the deceased might have been deceived.
Both had bathing dresses on when they entered the water.]
An inquest was then held on view of the body of Susan
Jones, who had perished with Miss Evans.
Miss Dean was again called and said—l knew the deceased
Susan Jones. She was servant with a lady of Egremont,
sister to the deceased Miss Evans. She came to Mr.
Bevington's house on Saturday night, with Miss Evans,
and went to bathe with her at the same place. She had a
bathing dress on. Miss Evans went into the water first,
and Susan Jones immediately followed her. They appeared
to have hold of each others bands. I saw them both soon
afterwards at some little distance from the steps, and they
were up to the neck in the water. I think they both called
for a rope. I went for assistance, (as before stated,) and did
not afterwards see the deceased.
Richard Chandler, a labourer, said—The shore is very
steep a little way off, several yards deeper than at the steps.
About three o'clock yesterday morning we found the body
of the deceased, Susan Jones, close to the water. The head
was towards the shore, and the feet immersed in the water.
The body had no dress on at all, nor could we find any. It
was lying as the tide had left it, about 130 yards from the
steps. The tide was very strong, and ebbed fast, that morn-
ing.

The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Accidentally
drowned."

We learn that both the deceased were highly esteemed by
all who knew them. Miss Evans was an accomplished young
lady, and had previously learned to float in the water. The
probability is, that they had hold of each other before they
went down, and that the servant's bathing-dress had been
torn off in her struggles to save herself. The latter is repre-
sented as having been an excellent servant. Her brother, a
young man of this town, was present at the inquest, and was
much distressed. Mr. John Murphy, builder, of Seacombe,
very kindly (in order to save the young man expense) sent
his own men to convey the body on board the steamboat, on
its way to this town.
