Pansy READING& —On Friday evening the firm
of the winter aeries of "readings" came off at the
Towthall, and was well attended. The chair was
taboo by E. 0. Spooner, Esq. Tbe entertainment
commenced with • glee—" The Village Choristers,"
which was ably sung by tbe choir. Mrs. Edwards
presided at the pianoforte in her nasal efficient style.
To this lady the committee of the Working Men's
Club, and indeed all who have it. welfare at heart,
are moth indebted for the readinem she aviaries to
assist when called upon. Readings from the
"Pickwick papers," by Mr. J. Donioesy, followed,
the selections being —The conversation between Sam
Weller and his respectable progenitor respecting the
lawsuit against Mr Pickwick, in which the old
gentleman urges the adoptioe of an "alibi," a mode
of procedure on behalf of a culprit which appears to
be greatly favoured by a certain German Protection
! Society in the present day. The second extract was
the Tait of Sam and his father to the Buckle's. teetotal
tes-drinkiog, in which the celebrated Mr. Stipp'ss
appears in a rather curious position, having imbibed
rather too much "pins-apple rum ;" and the third,
the interview between this individual and the two
Weller' after the death of the elder Mr. Weller. j
I The three eztracts were well read, and caused oon-
I adorable amusement. —After • few remarks by the

If tie sentiments expressed in the song were not
agreed with, the admirable way in which it was
sung was. Mr. Primus then gave a reading from a
work called " Cornish Tales," the chief point of
which was to show the amazement of parties being
in an unfrequented district with modern improve-
ments. The quaint remarks of the principal
characters introduced provoked much laughter. The
entertainment was well worth attending, but we
regret to state that the Working Men's Club are out
of pocket by it., though the service of thou
present were gratuitous. We trust, however, that
they will persevere, and have no doubt when it be-
comes more fully known that such an innocent, yet
pleasant evening's entertainment is provided at In
small an outlay as Id., a larger number of the work-
ing-cheese will avail themselves of It.
TIMPSIANCI Sootirre.—The annual meeting of
the committee and friends of this society was held
in the Assembly Rooms, on Thursday, the 10th
instant. The attendance was small, owing to the
insufficiency of the announcement Mr. Robinson
occupied the chair. The reports of the past year
were produced. The committee complained of the
small support they received from the public, as it
was impossible for them to display greater effort in
the movement unless they were better supported.
They hope during the next year that the public will
assist them ungrudgingly with pecuniary means, and
thus will they be animated to greater efforts in
drawing attention to go noble • movement in
running many from the habits intemperance Mr.
H. Hodges, treasurer, produced his statement, from
which it appeals the income was £24 9s. Otd. ;
expenditure, £29 9s Id. ; leaving • balance of
£5 Os. 6td. due to him. 11w., ordered that a
number of the treasurer's extended report be printed
and distributed, in order that the subscribers may
see how faithfully their money has been spent.
The following were appointed as committee for the
ensuing year :—Mr. J. Payne, jaw., honorary
secretary; Mr. H. Hodges, treaserer ; Meths.
Hare, Barnet, Boucher, Cook, Robinson, Coombs,
1. Hicks, Shorts, Lear, H. Meader, Vatcher, U.
Stainer, sent., and J. ;Squibb. From these, sub-
committees were formed to manage the Band of
Hope, and the care of getting up lectures. Collec-
tions were also appointed, and it was suggested that
a ladies' committee be formed to mast the general
one in carrying out the objects of the society. The
new Oonslnittes seemed determined to act with
spirit during the coming year, and we trust their
efforts will be crowned with abundant success.
