BONUS MEETING, 1867. • The Report presented at a Meeting held on the 3d January last, for the declaration of the EIGHTH Bows, showed, 1. As TO TIIE PROGRESS OP THE SOCIETY, that, during the quinquennial period which terminated on the 30th Juno, 1866, NEW ASSURANCES for a total sum of £1,518,181, and yielding £50,197 in Annual Premiums, had been effected, of which sums the former exceeded by £31,811, and thb latter. by £2,392, the corresponding items of any previous period; that THE INCOME had increitsol from £195,400 to-V.15,327 por annum; and that TREA.SSURANCE FUND, after inymont of £85,303 on account of Bonus at the last Division, had risen from £1,422,191 to £1,619,539. 2. As To THE FINANCIAL POSITION or TILE SOCIETY.

Gd., of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division. 3. AS TO THE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION. That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths, or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cent. on the premiums paid since the last division; and that the CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the like premiums. The Report explained at length the nature of the In vestments and the bases of tho Calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The next DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place in January, 1872, and Persons who effect NEW POLICIES BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits over later Assurers.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The new morning sittings of the House of Commons began yesterday, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when business was suspended at 7 o'clock, declared that the experiment had been eminently successful. The independent members who found it impossible, in spite of all the assist ance of Government officials, to make a house at 9, may perhaps dissent from this view of Mr. Disraeli, but, so far as the progress of the Reform Bill is concerned, there can be no doubt of the ac curacy of his statement. The work of Monday night was taken up zealousy on Tuesday afternoon, and if things go on as they have done in the last two days members may even look forward to an early prorogation. As far as the douse of Com mons is concerned, the franchise part of the bill is settled. The committee yesterday commenced by fixing the provisions under which those who are converted from compound householders into rate payers shall at first be registered in spite of their necessary failure to fulfil the ordinary condition of residence as ratepayers 'which will be afterwards required ; it-then proceeded to discuss and reject Mr. Pouett Scrope's suggestion that no rates should henceforth be levied on houses rated at £4 and under—a suggestion involving the consequence that the occupiers of such houses should not be come voters; and it finally discarded the " fancy franchises" altogether. The dual vote had, as a matter of form, to be eliminated from the bill, and the consideration of part I. was thereupon completed. It must be acknowledged that the de spatch shown yesterday afternoon was accomplished by the summary excision of three clauses from the bill, and the equally summary refusal to adopt Mr. Poulett Scrope's proviso. This is an easy, if effec tual, way of getting rid of difficulties. The fran chises left are the ratepaying franchise and the lodger franchise in boroughs, the £l2 rating fran chise and the reduced copyhold and leasehold pro perty franchises in counties. The first part of the bill has thus been brought to a .condition of greater simplicity," although it is, perhaps, open to question whether the resolute desire of the House of Commons to get through the work befo:e it has not led it to reject additions to the bill which might have been accepted had the time available for discussion been unlimited. Mr. " Scrope, in withdrawing his amendment, confessed that he had been too late in urging it on the attention of the committee, and probably this backwardness was the reason for the failure of his suggestion. The objec tions to the proviso were, in fact, somewhat feeble. Mr. Hibbert opposed it because it would disfran chise large numbers, and a proposition of disfran chisement ought not to come from the Liberal benches ; but, even were the reason based on an accurate representation of facts, it does not deserve much regard when it is remembered that the edu cational and savings -bank franchises were also abate,: doned because opposed by Liberal members. In assumption was not borne out the assumption would occasion the dis iro. w s • e c v f e o r p , e s h franchisement attributed t o it. Th e b oro ugh fran chise as finally settled is a f ranc hi s e a cquired by tthruatthS however, every ratepaying householder, and, as the Reform Bill will not abolish poverty as well as compounders, , there will be householders enough who will fail to satisfy the condition of being punctual ratepayers. These defaulters will have to be excused, and the question raised by Mr. Scrope was whether it were better to excuse the poorest class altogether by a Parliamentary enactment, or to leave a very im portant and delicate function, which may exercise considerable influence on borough elections, to be regulated by the discreti on o f overseers, controlled by the slight supervision of borough magistrates. The practical disfranchi semen t o f numbers is certain, and the dispute was by what machinery it should be effected. We agree with Lord Cran .borne that it would have been better for Parlia ment to determine the line below which occupiers should be excused the payment of rates. There could be no question that the benefit of the remis sion would be reaped entirely by the occupier, and, so far from the remission acting as an inducement to build inferior cottages, it would really have made it possible for builders to provide a better class of tenements at low rents. Mr. Scrope showed by statistics how little the adoption of his suggestion would have affected the rates paid by other classes of occupiers. The only reason of any weight against the plan lay in the argument that it would have affixed the characteristic of poverty to all the oc cupiers of the tenements exempted from Rating. Unhappily, this poverty exists as a fact, and has been recognised bysimilar exemptions in other direc tions, and it is now too late to put much stress on the impropriety of recognising it once more. The House of Commons, however, refused to ac cept the suggestion, and we can only hope that the provisions for voting and the redistribution of seats will be so ample and complete as to remove all danger of the interference of election-agents on the one hand, or of the capricious exercise of the ex cusing power by local authorities on the other. Mr. Bright put forward a claim yesterday after noon to be regarded as the true author of the en franchising clauses of the Reform Bill ; but he will, perhaps, allow that to Sir Roundell Palmer must be attributed some of the merit, if merit it be, of reducing them to their present simplicity. Sir Roundell Palmer, who was supposed to have told the electors of Richmond, when he was first intro duced to them, that he reserved, Complete indepen dence in joining a Liberal Government, was the first convert to the prudence of going straight to House hold Suffrage, and yesterday he led the opposition to the Educational and Pecuniary Franchises. The history of these Franchises is sufficiently remarkable as a striking illustration of the jealousy of anything novel which animates the house of Commons even in its most daring mood. Household Rating Suf frage members understand, because it, or something like it, has .long existed in municipal elections ; a Lodger Franchise is in the nature of an Occu pation Franchise, and so can, though with diffi culty, be accepted ; but to give a man a vote because he is a graduate or has been admitted to a learned profession is a suggestion so wholly unprecedented as to be intolerable. It is true that similar franchises were contained in former bills, and have been approved by the leaders of all parties, but there are times when the House of Commons is too strong for its leaders. Sir Roundell Palmer found a vigorous supporter in his opposition to these innovations in Mr. Bouverie, who incarnated the spirit of the House of Commons i n n his strong de nunciation of all things new to the Constitution ; and although Mr. Fawcett, as a University Pro fessor, entreated the Chancellor of the Exchequer to persevere with the Educational franchises, the latter gave way before what he aptly called the " reactionary party" on the Opposition benches. The Savings-back clause, " a clause of venerable antiquity," was abandoned on similar compulsion ; 4nd Sir Roundell Palmer, looking forward to some remote time when the Income-tax may be abolished, WQUid not cTen allow the taxpaying franchise to be es the o nut bi llu p , eruelte haved that eu enfranchised e c 1 1 j a i retained. exl uded from W s u eti s m t a h n u y s persons who will not be entitled to be registered on other - grounds, and it is undoubtedly true, as'we have before remarked, that th e adoption' of the lodger franchise has materially affected the reason's for maintaining them ; but it mu ,t be remembered that they have been abandoned out of deference to prej•idice rather than reason, and, we may almost be permitted to say, throu ' eli the influence of iemor ance..rather than of knowle lge. Oa Thursday the Committee will attack the . second part of the Reform Bill, and we cannot 'dissemble the difficulties they will have to encounter, and which lie, indeed, on the very threshold of their enterprise. Tlie first of the redistribution clauses is that which proposes to disfranchise Great Yarmouth and the other con victed boroughs ; and every subsequent chuse con tains proposals of disfranchisement, which must occasion opposition, or of enfranchisement, which will raise a crowd of. competitors for the privileges of representation. There are further amendments for altering the plan of conferring additional mem bers on populous constituencies, and for reforming the method of voting itself. When the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in the Reform Bill he more than half acknowledged the meagre character of the scheme of redistribution is embodied, and professed himself not unwilling to be encouraged by the support of the house to greater efforts. We trust the offer will be met,' and the implied promise redeemed. The enfranchisement bestowed by the ' bill is ample and generous ; let the redistribution of scats and the reform of our electoral machinery be as bold and statesmanlike, and the bill of 1867 will settle the problem of Reform for .aleisger time tha (Rd its famous predecessor of 1832 . THE "WESTMINSTER GAzrrrE " ov 001 INTEL LECTUAL PROGRESS.—Next to the votaries of Wealth, the worshippers of Intellect are undoubt edly the most numerous and most powerful body of the upper classes of England at the present time. In fact, atno period, probably, in the history of the world, even from the ripest days of Athenian genius, have men of intellectual power evinced greater activity, wielded greater influence, or' obtained higher consideration from their fellows, by reason of their mental gifts. Indeed, it may be safely said that Mind is now fighting on equal terms with Money for public favour, and in no way cedes the palm to its rival. But a few years ago—within the memory almost of living men—first-rate talent, combined with the widest learning and greatest culture, was impotent to save its possessor from absolute want. Those works which we have now come to regard as masterpieces of literature, and ornaments to our language, failed to procure for their authors even the barest livelihood, or to aid them over the temporary difficulties beneath the pressure of which they not unfrequently produced some of their best writings. But now we have changed all that. Posterity has done what it could to recognise the merits of those literati who were neglected by their own generation, and we are in danger of running to the opposite extreme in the treatment of the authors of our day. Not only do we now lavish abundant praise, together with more substantial rewards, upon works of undoubted power and merit in the higher ranks Of literature, but fortunes are amassed and repu tations made by novels, and works of a like cha racter, whose literary worth is of a very dubious kind. If any stronger proof were wanting of the great change of attitude wrought in our generation towards the professors of Intellect, nothing could more clearly show the power they have acquired than their ready admission within the body of our national Legislature, to which formerly only unbounded wealth and personal influence opened the way. In fact, from being almost a stigma of contempt, literature—the outward manifesta tion of intellectual activity—has come to be a lever by Which a man may raise himself to the highest places of emolument and honour, and acquire an immense influence over a vast num ber of his fellow-creatures. It may be well, per haps, to look for a moment how the change has been made, and what is its practical tendency. The difference we have pointed out in the present position of mental power, as compared with a few years past, is, of course, due to the great change effected in the intellectual state of the bulk of the people. When, at the close of last century, we came out of the struggles in which ive had been ;gloriously engaged on behalf of the freedom of 'Europe, the nation settled down to what has since proved to be a period of comparatively unbroken quiet, and was thus enabled to divert its energies to internal improvement, and the prosecution of the arts of peace. The wonderful scientific discoveries brought to light during this time, and the steady and gradual enlightenment which broke upon a multiplicity of subjects, served to fix firmly upon the mind the doctrine of the proverb which teaches that 4 , knowledge is power." Impressed with this notion, many began to see that we had been too long in a state of ignorance, and that if we were to do any good—if England were to acquire power, its people must be placed in a position to gain that essential preliminary to power—knowledge. The cry once raised, and the tide of opinion fairly turned, as is generally the case . in such matters, the reaction of public feeling was sudden and rapid. Educate, educate, became the watchword, which still resounds on all sides of us. Education was to prove the panacea for all evils. Teach the people to read and write, it was said, and they will be thoroughly regenerated; they will abandon all their vices and will become virtuous and orderly. Beneath the influence of this movement, there have been established in the last few years, partly at the expense .of the State, National Schools, throughout the length and breadth of the land, for the educa tion of the poorer classes. Municipal money and that private patronage for which England is so remarkable, have been exerted, and we have seen mechanics' institutes, public libraries, and schools for the arts and sciences, spring up numerously around us, and learning of every branch has been thus placed within the reach of all. In addition to this, there has grown up, with our increased commerce and prosperity, 'a wealthy and numer ous middle-class, whose money has enabled them to proiide for their children a better and more complete mental training than that given to our working-classes. Still further to help on the course of knowledge, we have thrown open many branches of the public service to competition, by which method we profess to bestow upon the fittest of our youths appointments in the executive de partments of the Government, formerly supposed to fall by patronage to very inefficient ser vants. And we have set on foot all over the country, in connection with the universities, public examinations under very attractive con ditions, which may be considered no mean incen tive in the same direction. It is by the impetus thus given to the acquisition of learning, rendering it as it were a sine qua 71011 for success in life, that we have completely reversed the position formerly held by the professors of Intellect. We have created a remunerative demand for their services, greater almost than can be supplied, which has brought them from a state of want and obscurity to one of affluence and honour. But what has been the result of this eager quest of knowledge, and in what man ner have our intellectual men employed the influ ence so unexpectedly put into their hands? Some eager interlocutor immediately rep lies : Look at the intelligence which is now manifested i▪ n every direction. See how our libraries are constantly besieged by readers of every class. Note the penny papers, which are sca ttered broadcast over the country eYery day by the hundred thousand, and let these facts bear test linon y to the liv▪ ely in terest now manifested in g eneral literature and 'Where else the affairs of the world at large. than in Protestant Engla nd do y ou see displayed a like mental activity to that which is proYed, be yowl doubt, to exist amongst , us by the wondrous What an de v elopment of our public press . im mense advance, in fact , ha ve we not made upon the old state of things ! At first sight this lan guage sounds very unanswerable and convincing. But let us look for one moment at the literature so eagerly devoured by this improved and enlight ened generation. With regard to their interest in general literature what are the facts? Is it not undeniably true that the chief call upon the libra ries is for the productions of the Braitlons and I\roods of the day, not to mention the minor mem bers of the same branch of the craft, to the true influence and tendency of whose 'works no discern ing person' can be blind ? Yet the tone of decided immorality, more or less deep, which pervades our novels, is less pernicious. and less enduring thanimfind the terrible spirit of Atheism which inspires e _ gradually - ous portion of our literature, and is ing its way into the pages of popular fiction. The f every shade ' speculations and conjectures of mien o r and, in fact, f those infidelity are eagerly sought ose who call form the staple mental food of Neither are themselves the educated classes. dreams of their idols such content that the wild . the sphere of their should be confined withui. of the most dan gerousown society. Cheap editions. ofirreligion. to works carry the poison educated people of the the poorer and less . _ well perform the task for country, and only too which they are designed. The productions of Paine, of Colenso, of Ronan, are now to he found in the hands of nearly all who can read, but who have not the necessary knowledge to detect the danger latent behind the display of intellectual fire works by which their mental vision is dazzled and confused. Left to the resources of their own feeble reason—enfeebled by the very fact of the mere smattering of secular learning given them—they are easily enmeshed in the snares laid for them. Do we turn from this view of the matter to the field of journalism, the result is the same—perhaps worse. It is the province of journalism to guile the in tellect of the country—to direct the mind of the multitude to a proper appreciation of matters of public well-being and morality ; and no one who is in the habit of coming in contact with all classes of people—from the rich to - the poor—can fail to see how effectively each is guided by its own special organ. It would be well for the nation, indeed, if such a powerful influence as journalism is every where acknowledged to be were consistently and universally exerted amongst us on the side of jus tice and virtue. Far from this, however, being the case, the majority of our p a p ers are devoted to the dissemination of revolutionary and destructive doctrines. The indefeasible rights of sovereigns, whose claims date back for ages, are ignored, and their subjects openly exhorted to rebellion. The safeguards of religion are ruthlessly attacked by these public prints, and the deep-seated convic tions and inalienable beliefs of millions of fellow creatures—amongst whom are thousands whose in telligence and honesty do not admit of doubt—are publicly scorned and ridiculed. In point of 'nor- notlaipz_za.a-1,9 W4141 .04;-4, dilation given—and that by the cheapest part - of the press— to the revolting reports of some of our public courts: Indeed, on reading the ac counts of many of these cases, given with such fulness. of detail, an impartial person would not hesitate to say that they were specially prepared to appeal to the degraded passions of the lowest stra tum of society. Stich, in brief, is the way in which English journalism too often acquits itself of its responsibilities! It is the custom to compare the • intellectual con4ition of the past generation with that of our day—much, of course, to the advantage of our own times. We have- certainly taught the masses to read and write ; and, having thus ren dered them susceptible of mental impressions, we have handed them over helpless to the purveyors of infidelity and the writers of sensation novels. Our youth is not educated. We cram them with crude figures and facts,---of abiding principles, but which should guide them to the choice of what is good and true, and enable them to reject what is false and vicious, we have taught them nothing. Looking to the results which may be seen around us, one may be permitted to doubt if, after all, our ignorant ancestors are so much to be pitied ! Yet the deplorable state of irreligion, to which our in tellectual progress is rapidly hurrying the nation, is only the natural outcome of our false system of education. Instead of bringing in religion to control and direct the advance of intelligence, it is the aim of modern science to keep them separate and independent--and even to render them antago nistic. The antagonisms resulting between the hy potheses of science and the doctrines of religion are strongly insisted upon, and made to tell with destructive effect upon the pliant and suscep tible minds of their pupils by the Atheistic pro fessors who lead in the van of learning; and the result is what we now see—the elevation of In tellect, in the esteem of men, to the place of God. The tide of infidelity is rising rapidly around us, and the only foundation yet unsapped by its action—the only barrier capable of resisting its advance—is the Rock of the Church, whose strength and numbers are steadily increasing as the crisis becomes more imminent. Banquet at the Mansion-house. - .0.- Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress entertained her Majesty's Judges, many of the more prominent members of the Bar, members of Parlia ment, the Court of Aldermen, Sheriffs of Loudon, the metropolitan magistrates, and others at dinner at the Mansion-house. The banquet Was one of the customary series given in every mayoralty, and was served 'as .usual in the Egyptian-hall. The guests were about 250 in number, and were received by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress in the principal saloon. There were present, among others, Lord Chief Justice and Lady Bovill, Lord Justice and Lady Turner, Vice-Chancellor Wood and Lady W ood, Vice-Chancellor and Lady Malins, Mr. Baron and Lady Martin, Mr. Baron and Miss Bramwell, Mr. Justice and Miss Shee, Mr. Justice and Lady Smith, Mr. Justice and Lady Lush, Sir William and Lady Erie, the Judge-Advocate-General and Miss Mowbray, the Queen's Advocate and Lady Philli more, &c. On the removal of the cloth the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress drank to the guests in a " loving cup." The usual loyal toasts were then given in sue cessionfrom the chair, and drank with all the custo mary respect. The toasts of " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," proposed by the Lord Mayor, Lieut.- Gen. Sir G. Lawrence, Vice-Admiral Robinson, and Lieut.-Col. Hawkshaw, C.E., respectively replied. The LORD MAYOR next gave the toast of " The Equity and Common Law Judges," referring in eloquent terms to the righteous and impartial admi nistration of the law which distinguishes the times in which we live. Chief Justice BovILL, whose name had been associated with the toast, acknowledged the high compliment paid to bei Majesty's Judges. They had, he said, ever received there, as in every assembly of Englishmen, that tribute which their predecessors in forsier times deserved. They were honoured that evening with the company of a distinguished man, in whose footsteps he himself humbly endeavoured to tread (referring to Sir Wm. Erle, the mention of whose name was enthusiasti cally cheered). He remarked in passing that there was no post on the English Bench which was not open to any man in this country who devoted him self with assiduity to the study and practice of the law, and he alluded in grateful terms to the encou ragement and assistance which its younger practi tioners had received from the corporation of London. Mr. ROEBUCK, M.P., who in rising was loudly cheered, responded to the toast of "The House of Commons," with which his name had been con nected by the Lord Mayor. He felt, he said, how inadequate he was to speak for that great body of which he was a member. A mighty theme, he said, required a mighty advocate, mid a mighty theme the House of Commons was, though it was now the habit to speak of that assembly in dis paraging terms. Men eager to be in office cried down the House of Commons, forgetting how much the people of England owed to the institution. It was, .in fact, the oldest representative assembly in the world, and, he believed, the greatest. It re presented the intelligence, the feelings, the habits, and the wishes of the English people, and it had re sponded to them, not altogether throughout its ex istence, but certainly of late years it had placed this country in a poltion which every other country was bound to envy. , Look, he said, at our law and our liberty. In every station of life a man could ex press what he thought, and in expressing what be thought he was in no danger. Bearing all that in mind, he wanted to know what the House of Com mons could do ? It bad been said, and said tru!y, that there were parties in the country who were not represented. Look at the present house of Commons. Did it not respond to the cal there not now before the House of Commons. a bid more liberal than ever Lilicrsils,i,,lvid conceived ?

CARDIFF, 27.—There is more business doing in the steam coal trade ; still the demand is far below the capabilities of the eollieries, and below what it was at the corresponding periOd of last year. The removal of the war cloud will, it is believed, lead to additional purchases on continental account. In the inquiry from the mail packet companies there is no alteration to note. The communication between the Taff Vale Railway and the East Dock has been completed, and that company will in future be able to convey coal direct to the East Dock without going over the Rhymney. There is a moderate coasting sale for house qualities, but merchants experience a good deal of keen competition, and prices are by no means uniform. Freights continue low to both home and foreign stations. There are slight indica tions of better times at the iron works, but the long desired improvement will necessarily be a slow one, owing to the utter prostration of many branches of industry which are intimately connected with the iron trade. Purchases of pigs are made with greater freedom on the part of buyers, and the market indi cates an improving tendency. Tin plates dull. LEEDS, 28.—There was no feature of change ob servable in the aspect of the woollen cloth markets here to-day. The attendance of buyers was not large, and there was no great disposition to purchase beyond small selections of goods to complete orders on hand or to fill up assorted stocks. The slight improvement which was noticeable last week has certainly not increased so far as the home trade is concerned, but, on the contrary, it has rather fallen off. The comparatively cold and ungenial nature of the weather keeps the summer goods trade from expanding; and until the retailers' shelves are cleared of some of their present stocks, the purchase of autumn goods by merchants will remain quiet. The foreign trade, taken as a whole, is getting a little more active than we lately had to report it, yet it is far from being brisk. There is no change is the prices of wool, woollen yarns, or goods ; but, con sequent on the quotations for colonial wools at the sales now going on the metropolis, the local wool markets have a lowering rather than a hardening tendency. ROCHDALE, 27.—The fl tuna market to-day has shown little animation. The attendance of buyers was less than last week, and they purchased sparingly. The best demand was ex p erienced for fancy flannels, for which a moderate amount of orders were received in addition to the stock bought for immediate 'delivery. The demand for Yorkshire goods keeps quiet, but prices are steady. There was not much done in wools to-day. The lowered currency of the present series of colonial wool sales in London causes a somewhat depressing feeling here, and has the effect of restricting orders for goods as well as the sales of wools. There was, however, no noticeable change in the price of wool in this market to-day., United Kingdom Band of Hope Union. The twelfth annual meeting of the United King dom Band of flope Union took place last evening at Exeter Hall ; Mr. Samuel Morley presided, and amongst o thers on the platform were—the Rev. John Guttridge, the Rev. L. D. Bevan, LL.D., the Rev. B. W. Backe, M.A., Rev. Newman Hall, LL.D., and Joseph Payne, Esq. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, the Secretary read the report of the past year, from which it appeared that a large number of bands of hope have been esta blished in different parts of the country; that juve nile intemperance was on the increase; and nowhere, perhaps, is this more strongly manifested than at the east-end of London. In one district of Whitechapel there are 635 houses, peopled by 7,496 persons; there are 1,780 children, 1,350 of whom do not attend any school. In the same district there are 21 houses open for drinking purposes; in another district, about a quarter of a mile square, there are 6,165 houses, 25,000 families, and nearly 70,000 individuals; and in one street alone in this district there are no less than 24 houses licensed to sell intoxicating drinks. The demand for the various publications of tho union continues on the increase. The finances of the union do not show the pecuniary support that might be rendered to so deserving an object, nor do the committee think it has ever been supported to the extent to which it may fairly lay claim ; and they, therefore, earnestly urge the claims of the Baud of llope movement on all who are interested in the moral and religious welfare of the young. The income of the past year amounted to £942 4s 9,1, and the expenditure was £966 9s sd. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report in au appropriate speech, and the meeting was afterwards addressed by several of the above-named gentle men. During the evening the children, of whom there were about 600, sang a series of pieces very well indeed.
