to the navy it was that which gave England her pi Lew

hear.)
The toaet wee cordially drunk.
_ . .

Sera Rigor, of the Rwal Artillery. briefly responded
an behalf of the render foram and CorPL STRIDER, 3rd
D.LIT., for the volunteers.
Dr. ALDRIDGE had the honour to propose the next
toast, which be was sure they would receive as they bad
done on previous eminent. It was nne whieh deeerved
their attention, their sympathy. eat their warrn•st
feallnes. It was that of the " Bishop and Clergy of the
Diocese, and the Ministers of all Denominations." They
all would acknowledita that they had enlisted their
sympothles, and that they daerved at their bands to l•
remembered at them social nenni was. (Hear, hear.) To
them, above all men, wars they Indebted for their social
position, and social comfort and religious happiness, as
well as for the reneral improvemelt of their motels.

The Ru. Eirgegyr replied. It wooled to him that
the neat object tor which they wen met together was the
townes and the general prosperity of their friendly
societies, end therefore everybody oueht to say every
single word he could and do everything ic his power to
aid and encomium them, and that must lie his
excuse toe spatting that day. The amount of
pauperism in England at U. present time was
almost appalling; and they all knew that it wu a
most difficult question, and how lode.! with it was you-
hag the wits and the brains of some of their wisest
statesmen. What they wanted wee to make the people
thoroughly independent, and especially independent of
the relieving officer. As he said, it was a most difficult
quectien, and he did not know how to solve it, but still it
seemed to him that the one °rutin' solution of it was to
extend all such grand societies es that which had met then
that day. (Applause.) Therefore they all ought to do all
they could to help them, and to unto everybody to Join
them. What be should like to see was a len passed
compelling everybody when in health and strength to
join these widen". That was whet titer wanted. Very
often mini spent their substance in dies potion arid idle-
ness, and than they fall back noon the poor law. He had
even heard men flatly refuse to Jon any society. because
they kn-w at some future day they would have outdoor
relief. But be should like to sore law paned compelling
everybody to join, and if they did not do so, when they
wanted relief, let them have it by all means—but let them
have that relief within the friar walls of the workhouse.
(Heer. hear.) He concluded by wishing them all prosperity,
aud trusted that everybody in that place would be isidnced
to Join the society. (Applause.)
The CUAIRMAX then roes and proposed the tow of the
day, viz.. "The Msochester Unity, and the Lodges

they would tithe the trouble to calculate would show
soreekliiO4 over .C 7 per bud. He then went on to refer to
the of bilis:mud section No 23 of the Poor Lew Amend-
meet Act The section provided as follows-1u the first

seemed to him to offer a direct premium to improvidence.
(Hear, hurl He was corivineed that thee, friendly
