The CUAlRM.twoongratulated the society on its advancing prospects, owing to the munificence of Mr. Hadfield, M.P., and other friends, and also on the recovery of one who was lost but was now found- Dr. Livingstone—who had been for many years intimately connected with the society. The Rev. Dr. MULLEN:4 read the report, which gave a satisfactory account of the society's various stations. As soon as the year began, the committee were called to consider the financial condition of the society, and under a new system which had been adopted they bad to report that the gross receipts of the year had been n ,:sorki.

BUCKINGHAM AND THE IRISH CHURCH QUEE TIGN.—On Tuesday evening an enthusiastic meeting in support of Mr. Gliidskine's resolutions was held in the Town-hall, Buckingham, the use of which was kindly granted by the mayor. The Rev. N. P. Langrideo, of Loudou, having delivered • lecture, which was much ap- plauded, • petition in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish church was adopted without a single dissentient. Towards the close of the meeting, the Rev. Mr. Widdow. son, of Buckingham, submitted a resolution in reference to Mr. Coleridge's bill now before the House of Commons. A petition in favour of that bill was also unanimously adopted. THE LITERATURE OF THE STAGE.—Ina letter to the Daily Tdegraph, Mr. Dion Boucioault exposes what be calls " the area sneak of dramatic literature." The offender referred to seems to be some person or class of persons who ascertained the title of a drama be was writing, and anticipated its production by ad vertising the performance at one of the principal ' suburban theatres. lie forwarded to the offending manager in this case a copy of the certificate of copyright and the result was an apology and the withdrawal both of the title and the piece. The Long Striie, a drama which he wrote last year was pirated by I something like a dozen managers. Mr. Boucicault " ex posed the theft," and drew from the offenders • humilise sing confession that their credulity had been imposed upon. To show that this kind of piracy is not • trifling I matter, Mr. Boncicault says that a s suoceasful drama is worth at least 5,000/., and • very great • success may be worth from 30,000/. to 45,0001. Mr. Boncicault justifies his efforts for the suppression of dramatic piracy on the ground that he feels it to be his vocation to protect the interests of authors. Formerly it was the custom for authors of first-rate plays to receive, in London, about Si. • night for their work, and 11. in the provinces, whereas the " our actor " earned 20/.1 a night in London, and 50/. in the provinces. Mr. Bondi. cault takes credit for having successfully demanded that the literary element should be equally recognised and better 'd than the artistic, and the result ts that "a su ul dramatic author can now make as much as eve. • prima donna." MEETING OF THE IRISH CHURCH PARTY AT Counuirrem—At a meeting held in the theatre at Col chester last night, called by the tones, half those present were liberals. The speakers were Mr. Harslake, M.P. Colonel Learmonth, lb. Fowler, and Mr. Sedgwick, of London, and several local gentlemen. The proceedings were much Lite= and Gladstone, Bright, and Dr. Brewer were loud e Great feeling was mani- fested in favour of the dimetabliaLment of the Irish church. The chairman, Mr. Hawkitu, would not allow the liberals to vote.

CHURCH ASSOCIATION.—A conference of mem bers of this association was held yesterday morning at Willis's-rooms, King-street, St. James's, upon the duties of the protestant and evangelical members of the church of England at the present time. The chair was taken by Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, and amongst others pre sent were—Lord Fitewalter, Mr. B. P. Law, M.P., Hon. Captain Maude, Archdeacon Hunter, Hon. and Rev. E. V. Bligh, Hon. and Rev. Mr. Noel, Sir C. Leighton, Rev. Canon Conway, Mr. T. Chambers, M.P., Mr. P. T. O'Malley, Q.C., ire. The first subject brought under consi deration was : " Is action through Diocesan Synods legal and advisable,and what steps ought to be taken by the friends of protestant truth with respect to this question ?" The discussing' was opened by Mr. O'Malley, who was followed by Mr. Chambers, M.P., the Rev. Canon Girdlestone, I the Rev. J. C. Ryal, Mr. J. G. A. Creswiok, the Rev. W. A. Conway, the Rev. Charles Moore, and others, and the general opinion was that any attempt to revive synodical action would be of doubtful legality, and would tend to destroy the peace of the church. Amongst other topics distimed were the " objectionable character " of the Woodard Schools, and "What course is moat desirable the evangelical and protestant bodies should take in refer ence to the next church congress." COLONIAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. —Last evening the annual meeting of this society was held in the Weigh House chapel, Mr. George Leeman, M.P., presiding. The report stated that the response of the constituents of the society, if not enthusiastic, had been such as to meet the necessities of the ease in • creditable way, and so as to avert from them the reproach of haring left their country. men in other lands destitute of religious privileges. The existence of nearly 230 congregational churches in the colonies, by far the greater number of which could have had no existence, and aimed all the rest of which must have worked with much lees efficiency but for the aid of the society, was • gratifying proof that England was not regardless of those who had gone out to found new em pires in her name. From the treasurer's statement, made by Mr. James Spicer, it appeared that last year's income was 3,0911. 18.. Amongst those present, some of whom took part in the proceedings, were Rev. T. Binney, Rev. W. M. Statham, Rev. W. Cuthberteon, Mr. Charlie Reed, he. About 10,000 sovereigns were withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for Ceylon. The total with drawn for the week for export is 165,0001., while 21,0001. from abroad bag; been sent in. Of the 452,0001. in specie which has reached St. Nazaire from Vera Cruz by the steamer Panama, 240.0001. in Mexican dollars is on English account. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 6,150/. over last year ; the Midland, an increase of 1,2021. ; the Great Northern, a decrease of 1,969/. ; and the Great Eastern, an increase of 1,2261.
