PRLEINTATION TO Tag Rev. 0. CUT.-W 0 ex•
tract the following from the Pore Elizabeth referePA
rotating to • yr...natation to the Kee. W. Kayo' and
the Rev. O. Carey, the latter of whom formerly
resided at Poole :—A meeting of the Wesleyan oongre-
g Maus of Port Klizabeth Wa• held on May 2nd in the
echoolroom. Rustell.road, for the inetame of presenting
farewell addresus to the Rev. W. Rayner and Rey.
0. Carey, who in due c .urea of polite leave Port
Klixtbeth for other outions—their period here haying
expired. Rev. Mr. Rayner good to Cradock, Rev. Mr.
Carey to Middleburg. Thee tamer; to be form.r recapi-
tulated the leading eveot., hat had tranewred Inc
nuec-
tiou with the church ininiaterrei ti by Mr. Rayner for
the peat four years. During th It time • native ct arch
hu been built, a new church has been built at Smith
End. and a Sunday School at N gth Rod, all accom-
plished without unduly increasing the burdens of the
trust. Tbe very beet wi.hee for the health and

xeneral favourite. Both ministers made suitable

gentlemen tremor% and the m.e. log was closed in the
man cu.tomery on such occaainna.
THE STATE or me Towg.—From • public-g0...M0n
mot of view it s very, very long time eince this
ancient boron .11 has been, as dull as it is now. Mr.
Schreiber, has left big Parliamentary duties to
reeruit hi. health, ..f which we wi.h him • spe-dr
return. Neither the Liberal or the Conservative
party make the least sign, although if the political
prophet.. are to be believed it is quite time they
were rubbing the rust front their armour. The Tories
are, to nee a vulgarism, cock mug, nod the
Liberals. it is generally believed, intend, when the
time comes, a surprise that will be an eye-opener.
The magietrates now have very little badmen
brought before them upon which to exercise their
judicial functions. Two trumpery clews have beyond
the ordinary petty-sessional business, alone come
before them daring the loot three weeks In
one a vagrant was ordered to be "seen oat
of the town"—an official way of throwing your
rubbish "over the garden wall" of your neigh-
bour. The other Was imply what American "I""
record as —dru..k and diem: lerly, and a fine .. 5..
end coats taught the ,deoder, on Monday, that he
impt not wound the soemptibilities of honmt citizens
by such vagaries. Thi• happy state of things is
veriously stocoun•ed for. Soma ascribe it to the in-
fluence of the Blue Ribbon Army ; others give the
S dvation Army the credit; and others wain, and it
wnuld seem more reasoesbly, say that trade has now
taken • turn. A letter which appeared in the Dorset
Express of Towaley, aloud " A Working Man,"
an I stating the imewers are discharging their men, ie
indignently denial. " The Trade" nay their prospects
are Inking brighter every day. On the other band
the Blue Ribbonites are by no means relaxing in their
effort., and a party of bcolond (naturally) Jubilee
Singers had a large house at the Temporanomball on
Tuesday evening.
