church on Sunday last, in aid of this society, by
the Rev. Talbot (heaves, of Meloombe Regis, but
that gentleman being unfortunately prevented by
illness from occupying the pulpit on the occasion,

of Missionary enterprise in that part of our dominions.
The rev. gentleman selected MI his texts Proverb.
iii. 27, in the morning, and in the evening, Psalm
oxviii., 27, which passage. of scripture he expounded
in a plain but forcible manner, speaking of the
blessed ideate which have as yet been accomplished
by aid of missions to the heathen, though the results
ars small compared with the work still remaining to
be performed ; and then urged, with much energy, the
duty laid upon all of contributing, II far as lay in
their power, to the extension of the efforts of such
societies as that whose claims he advocated.
tions were made after the services which, togother,
amounted to £l3 17s.

and criticisms, by stating the grounds on which he
thought architecture deserved to -be a subject of public
discussion and study. First —ln oonxiderstion of
the office and mission which in all ogee architecture
has fultilled. Secondly—The fact that there was
nowhere to be found such a complete ainl vivid
record of past civilisation as was afforded by 'role.

audition of architectural art if no such feeling
prevailed amongst us by which the examples be.
iineathed to us by past ages were enninined —studied
and reproduced and their highest achlevmente
systematised into standards, and to preparing the
way for further development mu t progress? And
lastly, because there waa no warranty that our
uncultivated tutus can be safe guides in esthetics,
any more than ignorance would be a premiss for
correct judgment in ether waters, Lu eildition to
the value of antiquity "to leek back to," or PA
quarry horn which to build up or develop art
aotiortling to our present nemmitlos, there were
general principles of art, by which we were to be
directed in its cultivation, It was to mimeo such
principles that Mr. Ruskin's work was dovetail,
while Ilia position MI one of the foremost (mato' of
the day, Justly entitled his opinions to be viewed all

Obedience. The principled brought under review
in the present lecture were those of Bearlike and
Truth, and the lecturer concluded by expreming his
high estimation of Mr. Ruskin.
Somme DNATIL—On Thursday an Inquest will
held before H. M. Aldridge, Rol., coroner, on
view of the body of a man named Trevellien, a shoe
maker, who was found dead in his bedroom that
morning. It appears that the deosased had been
labouring for some time with disease of the heart
and dropsy. The only evidence given well from a
little girl sleeping in the same room with the

The jury returned a verdict, "Died by the visitation
