Binu SOCIETY. —The annual meetings of tbe Britiob
and Foreign bible Society were held in the Town•hall
on Thursday, when among those who attended were
Revs. Messrs. E. W. Years in the chair, It Motile,
George Monte, Handley Monk, C. J. Bird., C. W.

T. W. Knipe, E. Ludlow, C. .1. Glyn (County Sen.).
G. Robbins (association secretary), and J. Mann. The
afternoon meeting was. as annul, very thinly attended ;
the Nat is that the increase of parochial and local associa-
tions has made the county meeting no longer necessary,
and the sooner it is discontinued the better, sa it is •
great trial to deputations to speak to empty benches. In
the evening the attendance woe very fair, especially
when it is considered that through the removal of Mr.
Fos and the lainented illness of Mr. Merriman no notice
of the meeting was given at the chapels. The oollection

Ton TTROLFaa SINGIVIL —The advent Of these
charming warblers will bring to the reeolleetion of those
who have a proper recollection of their "geography
days" cartain =Hoes "fact." connected with the
Tyrol, via, that 30,000 of the Tyrolese emigrate every
year with a hurdy-gurdy swab, that 2,400 Jew's-harps
are made daily at Rive, and that £4,000 worth of
canary-buds are annually reared at Imst. After that
what more is required to stow that the Tyrolese are
a toesical nation? Bat theme gingers will also remind
us of the never-to-be-forgotten Jenny Lind, and,
, according to what we hear, the singing of
the three ladies of the party recalls the delicious
music of the Swiss nightingale, so that the concert.. on
Wednesday and Thursday nest will be mama treats of
no ordinary kind, for doubtless the four gentlemen will
be equally "up" in their respective parts. They
have had the honour of appearing before the Queen
the various members of the Royal Family, and have
achieved great success in 1 ondon. We hope that for
the sake of good musk in Dorchester, everybody will
go to hear Sbeln, and to prevent being crowded out on
Thursday night, those who vial to enjoy a great treat
had better get tickets from Mr. Ling for the Wednes-
day morning or Thursday evening concert.
