'lis BISHOP OF OXFORD ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS. conference on Sunday schools has just terminated in the Isle of Wight, at which the Bishop of pxford presided. At the close of the discussion the bishop made 'a speech, in which be said Sunday wee as much a day of reet for children ea fur grown-up persons, and it was • mistaken idea to make children, whom God had made volatile, who could no t be still for • 'moment, because it was not their nature, who were always dropping off to sleep on the benches they sat upon, because they seeded sleep, and would begin to whisper and laugh, just ea the bee needed to buz when he flew about—it was • mistake to make children whom God had made in this way, to set them on a hard bench, and to make horrid faces at them when they began to buzz, or to knock them on the head when they went to sleep. In his experience, Sunday school teachers failed very much on the " Be-good system." That was the beginning and end of all their teaching, and marvellously unfruitful teaching it would be for men, women. or children. They could not expect the elder children to continue attending • Sunday school where all the little ones of the parish were being taught. The rook never frequented the same ground with the starling, who Ins a busy talkative gentleman, while the rook was a quiet sort of fellow, and, therefore, when the starling came near, the rook looked at him with • peculiar cock of the eye and then flew away. In the same way the 14 years' old pupil flew away from the little volatile things who at dozing upon the hard benches. As to these younger ones, no one who was at all acquainted with children would expect to get any real knowledge into them. No doubt • great deal might be done in showing kindness to these little ones, whose parents did not take them to church—at all events they might be kept awayfrom the Devil's school, where they played at chuck-farthing and made dirt pies. At the Sunday school everything should be done to make the children happy. Of course thereshould be some colouring el Christianity and religions teaching about it, but particu larly the little things should be taught to sing, for which they were always ready. The teachers ought to be a great dealahead of thescholan if they would teach them anything of the Church system. If the teachers only had a general fOl lO irooression about the church, and that was fre quently the case, especially with persons who were con tinually talking about "our beloved church," nothing ' natio' would be done. It was not by dreary dull teaching, sot by sending a man round to knock the children's beads when they fell asleep, that they would do good, but by . 111 4 king S un d a y sc h oo l s th e o pp or tunity of showing a Madly interest in the little ones sent there, and then by the leavening principle of the love of Christ they would make their schools not wearisome to the little ones, RR useless to the older ones, but would make them instrunients for touching their , hearts, sad thus would' get a great deal of truth into the narrow-necked mouth' 01 the bottle until, by God's grace, they could fill as full es it could bear. 01111TAL PALM:IR.-ONE SHILLING DAY.

Lot:IX NAPOLEON AT SCHOOL.—The Journal de Fraelhrt publishes the following :—" A certificate of studies has been communicated to us, which was delivered at the expiration of the half-year 18'21-2 to the future Emperor Napoleo n fe 111., who was at that time in the sth class of the of Sainte-Anne, at Aupburg. The document is as follows:—' No. 21. Prince Cherie' Louis Napoleon, son of the Duke de Saint-Leu, of Rome ; born at Paris; belonging to the catholic religion; aged 14 years _ —ith ••• good grt/sties, and fir; monrhs ; gifted with many in the development of which he has laboured with much zeal, so that he bas made good advancement in the German language, in Latin, and in arithme tic, and pretty good in Greek and in history—in general, therefore, considerable progress. His quiet manner towards his fellow pupils is deserving of praise, as also the respect and gratefulness with which he has accepted even disagreeable tasks. He has the 24th place ; the diM culties of the German language, of which he is not yet master, have prevented him from obtaining • higher rank. Besides, he is publicly commended, and he can pass into • superior class. The certificate for the preceding six months says : This pupil possesses an ardent feeling for all that is elevated, good, and beautiful ; he would have made great prover if illness had not, on several occesions, prevented him fr R attending the class." THE MAHON AT HOMBURG. HOMBMIG, AUCCIIT 25. The present is admitted to be the very best sea son the watering places of Ems, Wiesbaden, Hom burg, and Baden-Baden over had. It commenced much earlier than usual, and is expected to con tinue until the end of September. The hotels are all crowded, lodging-houses are full, parties accus tomed to easy reception are daily turned away for want of room, and it is quite useless to bespeak apartments ; persons of all degrees must take their chance, and many of the highest position are obliged to be content with accommodation at in ferior hotels. The ill fortune of last year is, there fore, being most amply compensated .for thin year, and, in accordance with the law of demand and supply, the prices of apartments have risen from 30 to 50 per cent. A large proportion of the visitors is English. At Wiesbaden the Prince and Princess of Wales and suite occupy three houses near to each other. The King of the Greeks is also there.' The Earl of Clarendon is seeking his annual relief from goat. At Homburg we have the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke of Rutland, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, and a host of inferior titles. At Baden-Baden the French, of course, predominate, and as the time for the races approaches, rooms become more diffi cult to get, and their prices rise. During the races the Prince of Wales will be the guest of the Duchess of Hamilton at Baden-Baden. The Duke of Cambridge is at Rumpeuheim, whence he pays frequent visits to Homburg and Wiesbaden. At that place the Princess is taking baths at her house daily, and though her knee is quite stiff, her royal highness is looking better, and rather stouter. She takes drives daily, and may be seen on the balcony of her residence playing with her children. The Prince is everywhere ; bathes and breakfasts every other day at the Hotel de la Rose ; lounges, and chats, and gossips pleasantly and unaffectedly with his friends ; risks a few gold pieces at the tables, walks about in the crowds alone, takes his coffee under the trees at the Kursal, and is not in any way annoyed either by foreigners or the English. He looks well, full of health and enjoyment, and has a pleasant, restless way of easily getting through the day. As the chasm commenced in Nassau on the 24th, and there is plenty of game, it is anticipated he will have some shooting in the royal, formerly the ducal, domains. A well-look ing youthful Prince of Prussia is also here, with whom he appears to be intimate. The tables at the Eurasia enjoy the full benefit of the excellence of the season. But there does not appear to be much individual high play. The greater part is in silver money, and rarely stakes of as much as 25 lonia d'or are to be seen. The Prussian government, which is now responsible for the tables at Ems, Wiesbaden, and Nanheim, ap pears to be irresolute as to the period of their con tinuance. At Wiesbaden it is said to have proposed to the company to limit the dividends to 6 or 8 per cent., appropriating the balance of profits to all the charities, not of the Duchy of Nassau, but of Prussia generally. This suggestion the company has of course refused to accept. At Homburg it has proposed to terminate the concession in six years and a half from the end of the present season, but this proposition also has been refused. Later in the year it is anticipated that the Prussian government will take some serious resolution on the subject, and adhere to it, with or without the concurrence of the companies. RXTRAORDINARY ALPINI AOCIDENT.—A COM spondent of the Tires, Mr. A. G. Girdlestone, of Magdalen College, Oxford, writing from Grimael, on the 22nd inst., says:—" I send you for publication the following account of a very remarkable accident which betel Mr. C. J. True mao, of Oakwell, and myself yesterday, because our very singular escape Lod, already, the most absurd reports of it, extending even to our deaths, are in circulation. We left the Stein Alp yesterday at 1.30 a.m., meaning to come to this place by the Steinlimnir and the Trift Glacier Joeh—two glacier without guides. On retching the base of the Thalratook Rooks, which have to be mounted in order to avoid the upper ice fall of the Trift Glacier, we found that our best route was to cross a long bridge of frozen snow and ice con necting the glacier with the rocks. We had to cut steps along it, and while I was cutting the last, close to the rocks, the whole bridge suddenly gave way. I was instan taneously thrown backwards by the tilting up of the ex tremity of the Midis, and thrown headlong, more than 20ft through the air, down into the chasm between the rocks and the glacier, bumping as I fell against falling mares of ire. When all was still I found myself unable to move, under blocks of ctlbris, lying head downwards, while Mr. Trueman lay a little higher up in a similar posi tion. After resting a little I was able to get to my knife and free myself from my haversack, the strap of which was cutting in chest. I next slipped off the rope which was coiled round me ; but my coat was held firmly down under an immense block of ice by the elbow and the right pocket. Had the block fallen en inch nearer, my right elbow must have been *rushed, and we must have lam there sad died. Slowly, and by d I slipped out of my mat and got on to toy feet. ITM that we were under the glacier, and but a narrow band of dry was visible. Mr. 'Trueman was lying in pain his eight knee and calf under a very heavy, immovable block. Recovering my axe, I out away sufficient ice to free his leg and allow him to slide down into my former position - but here his knapsack jammed him against the block el los, and it was not until I had unfastened it that he could slide out and get on to his legs, when we found that, be pond bruises and abrasions, we had sustained no serious injury, and bad not lost anything except a knife, guide book, and • portion of my coat, which I had to out off and leave in order to carry off the rest. Our first thoughts and words, after ascertaining that we were both alive, were to thank Ged for so narrow an escape. If you would kindly publish this it might save our friends some anxiety, for the story has already gone to the Rhone Glacier, and come back under the form that we were on the Sidelkoru, and that 060 was killed, while the other had come oostlesa home. A gentleman who sat next me at breakfast this morning was relating this last story in the most serious tones to his neighbours. The guides, I believe. circulate these reports, it being to their interest to make the worst of the matter, which had really nothing to do with their anomie ; but they are jealous of my constantly dispensing with their services and tariffs." QUILINSLAND As A Home FOR EMIGRANTS.— A rather lively correspondence is going on in the Tinter the merits of Queensland as a competitor for • respecting la, emigration. This morning appears a letter alined "W. Dowel* Stone, M.D., late surgeon superintendent in her Majesty's' emigration service;' in which reference is made to a minute of the executive council of the colonial go vernment, declarirg that " only two classes of persons should em to to Queensland, viz., capitalists large and small, and labourers—that is, men and women accustomed MD work with their hands," it being added that all others will be doomed " not only to certain disappointment, but also to severe hardships." The writer further says " the retail price of meat is from 3d. to sd. ; bacon, from Pd. to Is. 2d. ; bread, lOd. the 41b. loaf ; butter, Is. 6d. to 28.3 d. per lb. ; cheese, lOd. to Is. 6d. • tea, 2s. to i s. The retail price of other provisions is abo ut the same as in England ; clothing about one-fourth more."

THE WEST INDIAN MAIL The Royal Mail Company's steamship Rhone, from the West Indies, arrived at Southampton yesterday, with 174 passengers; 367,626/. sterling in spec;e; pearls to the value of 3001. ; and 1,9117 packages of cargo, consisting chiefly of cochineal, tobacco, cigars, and bark. The Rhone left St. Thomas on the 13th, and experienced tine weather throughout the The British ship Empire arrived at St. % 1 7( g3 i t as . on the 12th. The British brig Susannah Temple was wrecked near Matanzas. Intelligence from Bogota says :—" The Legislative Council met on the 3rd. The Procurator-General had entered an accusation against President Mosquera and the Ministers of State and of the Supreme Court of the Union. The accusation was handed to a commission of three members of the Council, who were to return their decision in six days." In Chili the government were making great pre parations for constructing fortifications in anticipa tion of another visit from the Spanish fleet. Com mercial confidence was undisturbed. The Spanish fleet was wintering at Coquimbo. The Chamber of Deputies had voted eight million dollars for the construction of docks for commercial and defensive P Ve lle c l ereal crop was abundant, and large exporta tions were being made to Sydney. It was reported that a cargo of 500 African negroes were recently tended on the coast of Cuba, and were rapidly dis persed among the sugar plantations. The sugar crop in the island was stated to be below the usual average, and was the same at Porto Rico. In New Zealand everything was quiet. The gover nor had returned to Wellington from Auckland. The House of Assembly was to be opened on the lth July. It was reported that considemble sickness pre vailed at Panama, but despatches from the isthmus lot having come to hand, the statement requires confirmation. The weather wee very dry at Antigua, but vege tation prospects were encouraging. The crops were nearly all reaped. On estates at Jamaica little was doing. The weather was favourable for planting operations. !the season for coffee was good. Pimento crop indifferent. _ _ _ Yellow fever still prevailed at Newcastle Barracks. Immigration from the United States continued to occupy attention. The Cape mails are to be despatched from Fal mouth by the Kaffraria steamer on the 4th proximo. Letters addressed per Kaftan& via Falmouth will be sharged 4d. only the half ounce. Tai AzzazBINATION or LOPZZ.—A letter gives Ae following details of the assassination of Lopez, who betrayed Maximilian :—" I arrived here to-day, and learned the startling news of the assassination of the traitor Loper. The partiealan of the assassination are tis follows:—Lopes was stopping at • hotel in Puebla, Where his wife *spurned him from her presence. Early one tug' • Mexican arrived, and familiarised himself 'th an ostler in a livery stable adjoining the otel. General Miguel Lopez was inquired for, not being in, the stranger was told that the would be at dinner. Before the dinner hour returned, and was pointed out to the stranger, who made special cote of his man. When dinner was called Lopez and his assassin occupied opposite seats at the table. After some minutes, daring which timethe stranger called for and drank a glass of wine, he deliberately rose, drew a concealed knife, and sprang upon Lopes, and stabbed him loins times. The stranger then took his hat, and, as he started to leave, said, ' This is the way all traitors should be paid.' No one interfered or prevented the assassin from leaving. Thus was the blood of Maximilian, Mira- Mon, Moja, yes, and thoumnds of others, avenged."—New York Tribune, August 14. GOING Alban.—The new town of Jidesburg, on the Union Pacific Railway, is growing rapidly in scene things. The Omaha Herald. says it has one hundred and twenty whisky shops for • copulation of about three thousand. At a recent meeting of the citizens it was =to form • civic, government and to adopt the r, laws, and ordinances of Omaha. They have elected • mayor and tidy council.

No definite answer was then furnished, but subsequently a letter wen received, conelnding :—v As the election will not take place before 186 u, I feel reluctant to com mit myself to a candidature which is to last for two years, upon data so indefinite as those at present before me. I will tell you, however, wh►t I am willing to do should that be acceptable to my friends in the associated boroughs. Without formally putting myself forward as a candidate, I will come down and address two or three meetings, so as to afford the people an opportunity of becoming acquainted with me and my political views. Should the res ul t prove satisfactory perhaps there may grow out of that a requi sition, or some other mode of ascertaining the wishes of the elector*, actual and prospective, which will be more definite and conclusive than the mere votes of public meetings, however enthusiastic. And if it should appear that there is a large body of your people who are desirous that I. a brother Welshman and a brother noroonformist, should, to the beet of my ability, represent them in parlia ment, then I will do my utmost to fight their battle and win it." - Miteen•rer Semis/ea ORPHAN ASYLUM.—A gene ral half-yearly meeting of the governors of this institution was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Rishopegate. street, for the purpose of electing 20 children, viz., 14 boys and 6 girls, to be received into the asylum, out of • list of 59 candidates. The concluding paragraph of the report of the committee presented last February sets forth—" That an unusual number of disasters at see, and a season of much mortality, have considerably augmented the list of candidates applying for admission, and they cannot but think that • glance at the particulars connected with the applications received will constitute a more forcible appatl than any they could make to the sympathies, not only of those who are more or less dependent upon the sailor's exertions for their position in life, but to the public gene rally.

The general rehearsal appointed for this morning took place shortly after 9 o'clock, when Mr. Costa, the conductor, the band and chorus, and some of the principal singers concerned in the works to be rehearsed, assembled in the orchestra of the Town-hall, where the performances take place. The first work gone through was Alexander's Feast, which is to be given, followed by a miscellaneous selection, on Tuesday evening. Professor Stern dale Bennett's new sacred cantata, the Woman of Samaria (with which the performances of Wednes day morning will commence), was next rehearsed ; first without, and again with the choruses. This work was directed, as it will be at the performance, by Mr. W. G. Cusins, conductor of the London Philharmonic Society, who represents Professor Bennett on the occasion. The composer, who was seated in front of the orchestra, was warmly greeted by the assembled performers, both on his first appearance and at the close of the rehearsal of his new composition—on the merits of which it would be premature to offer an opinion until after its public performance. After a short interval of rest, the rehearsal was resumed soon after two o'clock—the whole of the large assemblage, band, chorus, principal singers, and conductor, first remaining, at a given signal, for two or three minutes in fixed immova bility to enable a photographic view to be taken by a manipulator stationed with his apparatus in the end gallery opposite the orchestra. After going through the National Anthem, Gounod's Mass (to precede Israel in Egypt at the Friday morning's performance) was next rehearsed, fol lowed by several vocal solos—the rehearsal lasting until half-past four. For the evening (as stated in our previous notice) another rehearsal is called, to include Mr. J. F. Barnett's cantata, The Ancient Mariner (which will form the first portion of Thursday evening's concert)—Mr. Benedict's Legend of St. Cecilia (to be given at the concert of Wednesday evening)—and probably detached por tions from the other programmes of the week. The highly favourable result of the balloting for tickets has already been stated in the Express—to which may be added that every available place in the hall is disposed of for Thursday morning's per formance of the Ittihad ; and had the grand dimen sions of that noble building been even greater, it could have been filled on that occasion. That im portant accessory to the enjoyment of the week, the weather, promisee to be favourable, in spite of a few light passing clouds and an almost inappre ciable sprinkling of rain this morning. All, indeed, seems propitious towards a highly successful result, musical and financial, to the Birmingham Festival of 1867.

A meeting of local magistrates has been held for the purpose of taking steps to secure a permanent military force in Drogheda. One of the speakers, referring to the obeervatious of the chairman, that troops could be had en it short notice, said that if another Fenian Tieing were contemplated, the very first act of the insurgents would be to tear up the rails in order to prevent the arrival o' soldiers. A memorial to the Lord-lieutenant, praying for a continuance of military protection in Drogheda, was adopted. OLD CLOTFIES.—Many of the garments are con verted to fresh uses.

Rae ork THE ALTON 'WADE& The main statements as to the barbarous murder and mutilation of Fanny Adams, at Alton, turn out to be true. Rumours of all kinds are circulated, and the excite ment of the neighbourhood readers it difficult to obtain • clear or full narrative of even what is known. The most reliable account seems to be this :—On Saturday afternoon three children—she demand Fanny Adams, her younger sister, and a girl named Warner—went playing in a meadow about 400 yards from their homes, when they were ac costed between one and two o'clock in the afternoon by • young man named Baker, who offered the deceased • half penny to go with him up a hollow, or old road, leading to the village of Sheldon, by the side of a hop-garden ber longing to Messrs. Henry and John Chalmaft, farmers' and Warner threehalfpence to take the sister away and not to ante with him. The dammed took the half penny, but declined going with him, whereupon Baker took hold of her hand, and led her away crying. The two other girls wandered about the fields till about 6 o'clock is the evening, when they retained home. After waiting till between 7 and 8, and the deceased not returning, the sub set of her noaappearanes was dimmed by the neigh bmrs, aad fearing some foul play is the matter • party • combined together and went in search. Soon after enter ing the hop-garden previoualy mentioned, and on looking about, the mutilatig remains as described in yesterday's paper were found. The mother, on learning what had occurred, became nearly frantic, end rushed off to coin- • municate to her lausbaad, who was engagedp at • cricket match on the Bates, bat hefere she got far she fell from the excitement and hula, Imeennepei here. The young man Baker, clerk in a solicitor's office, was taken into custody by Superintendent Cheyney, who told hies that he felt bound to take him on simpleton of mur dering the girl Fanny Adams. Baker replied, "He was innocent of the crime." He was then taken out the back way from the office to the pohewsletion, to prevent through a large and excited crowd who were usemrect g n front of the office, some of whom declared they would kill Ma. On being eserabed two mall finer knives were Wong in his posseneon, but they were net stained with blood. He was dressed in • black hat, black frock ooat, light waistcoat • and trimmers. On his clothes being examined spots of blood wareobservedoa With mistimed& of his shirt. One had evi. deatly been lately washed. Traces of blood were observable , in places on his trousers, which had been smeared in wash ins. One of his socks was wet, indicating that he had bean steadies in water, the River We, running close by the scene of the tragedy. The conduct of the prisoner throughout this shocking affair has been cool and collected. Assenting the prisoner to have been the perpetrater of the deed, it must have been done between one and two on the Saturday afternoon, for he returned to hie ordinary avoca tion man at ter two o'clock. He was seen in does proximity to the mese of the murder between five and six, and was observed at the Swan tap, in the High-street, drinking a glass of ale and smoking a cigar. He chatted as freely and as coolly as if he knew of nothing that had occurred. Anothersccoant received from Alton last night says: " Fanny Adams was seven years and six months old, and her father is • brieklayer, working for a budder here. The murderer, Frederick Below, is 211 years old, and his father is a tailor in • small way of business, living in South-street, Guildford. The young man has lived in Alton for shoat twelve months past. On Saturday afternoon, as seen as the information was conveyed to the station, Mr. Superintendent Cheyney west to the spot and eared diligent search to be made in all direc tions for themeless's' parte of the body, and having made such inquiries as seemed necessary he went to the office where Baker was employakandfound him there. That was nearly nine o'clock, the usual tine for Bair to leave being eight. Superintendent anyway said, Have you head of this murder, Baker!' and he said, Yea ; they say it. me.' The superintendent said, ' Well, yea axe suspected ; and Baker replied, 'I am innocent' Mr. Cheyney then said, As the case stands I shan't lose sight of you. I shall leave • man here,' Further 'equities' resulted in Baker being taken tate custody and conveyed to the police sta tion, though it was with peat difficulty the mob was Iceo at bay. When the charge was entered on the sheet at the station Baker merely said, ' I am innocent ;' and made no reference whatever to his crime during the whole of yesterday. This morning he was taken before Mr. Edward Knight, at Cawton, and remanded on the clone of wilful murder. A great crowd of persons, especially women, collected, end yelled and hooted the the prisoner most vociferously—their execrations making an evident impression on his mind after he was put book into the all. Of course undone and earnest search has ' been continued throughout the day for the weapon with with which the murder was committed, but as yet without seems, That, however, is not very astonishing, as the presumed murderer did not return to his office till nearly 7 o'clock in the evening and was seen two or three twice up the lane near where the foul crime was perpetrated. To-morrow the river Wye, which has its source close by, will be thoroughly dragged, • large posse of constables having been detained for that purpose. "This afternoon a discovery was made which has put the murder almost beyond all questioa. Superintendent Cheyney, is searching the desk used by the primmer at his office, found a diary put away behind some law papers ; and under the heeding Saturday, 84th August' is the following entry, is the handwriting of the murderer : • Killed a young girl -it WS/ fine sad hot.' On this book being shown to Baker, he at once admitted it to be his ; sad when asked as to the entry, said, Yes, that is' my handwriting, but I did not mean to do it so. I was intoxicated after I saw the women.' The inquest will be held toonerrow." EQUALISATION OP POOR BATE& Lest evening a meeting of the ratepayers of the East-end of London took place at the Vestry-hall, St. George's-in-the-But, for the purpose of pretentieg • testimonial to the Rev, Mr. M'GRI, the incumbent of (. hristchurch, Watney-street, in recognition of his efforta, extending over many years, to promote the equalisation of poor rates. The testimonial consisted of a handsome eight-day clock, together with a ificent dinner Derek* of plate, the whole being of the value of 21101. The in scription on the testimoaial plate stated that it was gives to the rev, gentleman as a recognition of his efforts to pro mpt:: the equalisation of the metropolitan poor rates. The CH/LIBMAN (Ile. C. & Bailer, M.P.), iu introducing the business of the mesein4, spoke in high terms of the laborious exertions of Mr. WGill in promoting everything which was for the good of the district. With respect to tun equaliwitien of the poor-rates, that settle:nen had brought to the subject great ability and immense labour. The statistics he bad compiled with the view of promoting as object so desirable es far as the east end was concerned were enormous, and he could not but regard the recent measure of Mr. Hardy as a step in that direction. Mr. M'Gill had also rendered great service to the district by his efforts to establish a museum and library, and by the part be took in she promotion of the But London Work. big Men's Exhibition ; and, above all, the inestimable ser vice he had rendered to the district by his religiois teach. in 3 and his coastant efforts to alleviate the sufferings of the poor had long endeared him to this quarter of Lon don. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Mr. DOSIOVAS, the secretary of the committee, stated the circumstances which led to the testimonial, and added that at least four-fifths had been contributed in the dis trict, and that the Bishop of London not only fully con curred in the movement, but had sent • handsome contri bution. (Cheers.) Mr. Munro, the chairman of the board of guardians, Milo-end ; Mr. Herbert, the senior churdhwarden; and Mr. Spence, chairman of the Limehouse board of guardians sad the Rev. Mr. Scott, also added their testimony to the untiring efforts of Mr. M'Gill, and agreed that although circumstances had prevented carrying out the full plan of the equalisation of the metropolitan poor rates. Mr. Hardy a bill was the thin end of the wedge. and that before long • measure go much wanted in this district would be carried. The CHM num( having in a few suitable words presented the testimonial to the rev. gentleman, Mr. leGitt acknowledged the gift which had been made to him by his parishioners and others with the most heart felt gratitude. He stated that when he first cams into the parish it was in a season of dire distress, and many people were actually dying of starvation. At that very time, while the poor rates at the West.end were not more than sirpence in the pound, in St. George's-in-the-East they were no is than 4s. fiat. ; and he found that the people se the East-end were actually working not for their im mediate ntsghbours, but for the rich populdion of the West-end, and this being more particularly the case with the Spitalfields weaver and the dock labourer ; tied, therefore, the conclusion which forced itself on his mina was that those parishes ought to contribute t . • the relief of the poor at the East-end. This it was that kd him to make the exertions he had, and he was gratified to find that they had been so far successful as to attract general &doziness to the subject, and to lead to the passing of the bill of Mr. Gathorne Hardy, and also the union Rating Bill, which bad effected great good is the ceilidh. The rev, gentleman narrated the progress of the movement, and gave some startling instances of the manner in which the present system of unequal rating operated. He was received with great cordiality. On the conclusion of his address, on the proposition of Mr. G. RYMER, seconded by Mr. HANKRIDGE. • vote of thanks was given for the use of the Vestry-kill ; and a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed by the Rev. Mr. M'GILL, and ascended by Mr. 1311CIUDAN, con cluded the proceedings.
