BL A N DFORD.• -Butannia' OFIRATITZSOCIITy. - -
The following report for the past year has been issued
to the members of this useful society :—The great
debt ol time Me again summoned us to another annual
meeting, and I must ray that it affords we much
pleasure to be enabled to produce to you your sixth
anneal statement. Your committee feels deeirous
to express to you their satisfaction with the maces'
which has attended the peat year's proceedings. It
has fallen to our lot as • society to share ia the sick
list very heavily this pest year, but still we have
every reason to be thankful that it bas not been
worse. All other societies have had to share the
same fete, and in particular for the past three
mouths. During the peat year we have enrolled no
less than 41 benefit members, but some of them,
I am sorry to say, lave neglected to pay their sub-
scription, for which reason they have been expelled.
Members' subscriptions for the past year have
amounted to £57 19• 6d. being an increase over
the peat year of Zll 12s. ha. Entraoce fees,
£2 Is. Fines for the past year about £2 10e.
Interest on the capital invested in the Blandford
Savings Bank. £2 17s. d. Our appeal to the
of this society has pin not been disregarded,
Lattmis they have responded to our call in • praise-
worthy manner, for which your committee returns
them their most siacere thanks. Your society has
paid to its members in Meknes this pest year no
less a sum than £32 la which is no small sum,
considering the subscriptions are only 9d. per week.
Death with it. firm and solemn step, we regret to
say, has visited our ranks and taken from us two of
the most healthy-looking of our weathers, thereby
teaching us that great lesson that He is no respecter
of persons, for although in the bloom of youth and i
health, we may be on the verge of death. This
night's proceedings will testify the respect we pay
to the departed, and the consolation we offer to the •
bereaved. This night as you are aware, is the night
for the election of °Seers for the ensuing year, and
as we are just on the verge of the seventh year, ayes,.
in which there is a deal to be done by this society
with regard to its future prosperity, your com-
mittee wish to impress strongly on your minds the
necessity of electing men in whom you have confi-
dence, men whom you firmly believe have the interest
of the society at heart, for they feel assured that the
tOOMOS which has attended the pea six years of this
society must be attributed to good management and
economy to place us in such • flourishing condition.
Benefit moieties in Blaadford have made rapid
strides in the past six years. When thissociety was
first formed by only 12 working men, the idea MOO
laughed at by many. Some put us down to be al.
meet insane to think that by paying 2d. per week
we should not exist as • society 12 mouths, and that
we should go to the wall, mid the critic. of the day,
but lam sued to say that we have at the present
time 126 efit members; and, after paying nearly
£lOO in sickness, we have at the preening time in the
Blandfonl Savings Bank over £122 Thew facts
speak for themselves, what can be done by paying
only 2il. per week. The scene which was lately
witnessed in this town must have fined every bene-
fit society man's heart with joy and gladness, and
also our supporters, to see therein that reassembly
the artisan mechanic and labourer, all united in an
almost endless chain, each member forming a link.
We only differ in name, our object icons, namely,
to moist each other in the time and hour of need.
The feeling which was manifested on Monday, was
enough to convince the most empanel. That spirit
which has ito long been wished for, broke forth
in its most majestic splendour, namely, the spirit
of unity Monday's proceedings were only the
stepping-stones to what will take place we trust
ere long. There was only one thing wanting
to make our cup of joy (ample* namely, after the
prooemion to have 'letdown and partook of the good
chimp of this life. Let us trust the day is not far
distant when the people of Etlandford will have the
gratifying eight to witness another united procession
Of the societymen, when we shall have the pleasure
of enjoying ourselves to our hearts' content. Let
onr motto still be unity, for united we stand, but
divided we fall. At the conclusion of the report the
the following officers were elected: Mamma
Mr. .1. Orchard; Secretary, Mr. T. W. Wills;
Treasurer, Mr. E. G. Kent. A few more members
were enrolled, and
.the committee appointed for
the ensuing year.

sented a gay appearance, flags and banners being sus-
pended from the bosses, and on arrivine at the Cora
Exchange the same gay adornment., intermiced with
evergreens, met the eye of the visitor. The emarnitter

The festivities in Poole on Ohs normion of the mar-
riage of Hie Royal Highnem the Prince of Wales to
the Princess Alexandra .4 Denmark were of • character
which will long be ?slumbered by the inhabitants of
that loyal and ancient borough. At early dawn the
church bells rang • merry peal, and on the tower of the
mimed edifies the British ensign Boated proudly in tin
breeze. The shipiiiim in the harbour were profanely
decorated with Bags of their respective wakens, and
Iron, the homes of the principal inhabitant.% garlands
of dowers and banners of various hues greeted the eye
in every direction. Magnificent triumphal arches,
bearing appropriate mottoes, were erected in many parte
of the town, which were in the evening, as well as the
houses of those of the inhabitants whom *Santinn in
life enabled them to display their loyalty, moat Marti-
fully and antietically illuminated. At ten ant. the
Oddlellows, Foresters, the members of the Hearts of
Oak Friendly Society, the Lonitteet Friendly Society,
and the National School Club, attired in the in.ignia of
their respective organisations, assembled in the park
belonging to Isaac Steele, Req.. and proceeded from
theme, accompanied by six bands of music, through the
principal streets of the town, end on their arrival at
the Townhall they were joined by the Mayor, 0.
Belben, June.. Eau, dromed an his civic r0b..., the Om,
poration of the borough,and the Poole Rifle Volunteers,
under the command of Captain Parr. They then
perambulated tee principal street, of the town, and on
their return to the Townliall, the volunteers Anal a
"feu-de-joie," and gave three hearty cheers, melt as
Britons know how to give, fnr the Royal pair. The
procession consisted of about AOO pedestrians ; in fact, a
more imposing speetaele wax never before witnessed in
the town of Poole. In thu afternoon the Sunday-
reboot children, numbering some 2,300, met at the
schoolrooms within the borough, and proceeded by
various routes to the Marketplace., from whence they
walked through the principal thoroughfares of the
town, and on their return to the Tomball the National
Anthem adapted to the occasion we. sun. The
pastors and other church officiate headed the schools
with which they are monocled, and it was truly grati-
fying to observe the kind attention which they paid to
the little innooenta. Thu parading Nieto; terminated,
the teachers and achelare repaired to sensible rooms,
and were reed with tea and cake. The rooms were
exquisitely demented, and the dear Idtle ones enjoyed
' themselves to their hearts eositenL We cannot forbear
expressing our regret Mast the Parkatone Sunday
School children were not provided with a tea on the
omission, although Id. per bead was apportioned by the
Committee for the purpose. We are given to under-
stand that it was in onmequence of • niandate which
had been Maned by the pastor of the village, that they
were thus prevented from enjoying themselves, an set
on his part which has been justly censured and con-
demned by the parishioners, and in the word, of a con.
temporary. "To us it appears, that if it was im-
proper to hold the festival in Lent, it wan Ismail alai
to join in the procession." So much for clerical inter-
ference.

until about 7 o'clock, when the people were
!attracted to the village by the illumination.,
which were general, for nearly every inhebitant of tlic
place, from the richest to the poorest, did theii beet to

the whole illumination. were very good. and all formed
a sight never before seen in Channooth. Notwithetand•
ing the unfavourable state of the weather the streets
were crowded with spectators the whole evening. The
outdoor amusements concluded with • display of fire-
works. There was alto a public tradesmen'. supper at
the "Coach and Hones" Inn, which was well attended,
and the comp.ny heartily enjoyed themselves oetil •

SW A N AGE. —llltitissuit or TIM PRINCE or WALIIII.
—The congregationalists of this town have not been
backward in tlieir efforts to celebrate this auspieious
event. On paying • visit to their schoolroom on Tues-
day we were fully convinced that • great amount of labour
had been bestowed upon the preparations and frorn
the graceful Ell in which the room was detiorated
with festoons of evergreens, artificial flowers, he, we
received the impression that fair bands mast have been
actively engaged. We noticed at the Northern end a
transparency of the Prince and Princess (lif.isise) sur-
mounted with the words, "God Mein the Prince and
Princess," in white letters upon crimson damask ; the
transparency was brilliantly illuminated in the evening,
this with other paintings emblematical of Literature,
Science, End the Fine Arts, were executed by a native
artist. The wall• were covered with • large nuniber of
lithogrephs, many of them very beautiful and molly;
altogether the room wore • very imposing and pay ap-
rearms*. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock upwards of
160 children belonging to the Day and Sunday schools
were provided with cake and tea at the expense of a
generous friend. After ample justice bad been done by
these jnyeniles to the good things set before them, they
were dismissed, and the room prepared for an adult
tea ; again the room was crowded and every one seemed
to participate in the National rejoicing. After tea a
Public meeting took plane, when several patriotic pieces
recreating. and the Revs. T. Stavin. T. Sisson, arid Mr.
Spanner delivered appropriate addresses. Tbe meeting
terminated at an early hour to enable the attendants
to be present at the fireworks. Wedneedayevening the
demonstration was mewed by a lugs company in the
aeboolronm singing the National Anthem, after which •
magic lantern entertainment was kindly given by the
Rev. T.Bissona, comprising a number°, views in Natural
History, Astronomy. Costumes, km. The meeting was
enlivened at intervals with airs by the drum and file
band. The whole pared off in a very credit bile
manner, and gave great satielsction to all concerned.
On Sunday evening, the 15th inst., • very interesting
rtnoo mu preached in the Congregational chapel, by
the Rev. T. Simmons. late of Corfe Castle, on the late
Royal marriage. The rev. gentlenuus took his text
from the 12th vase of the =ad chapter of St Matthew.
He expatiated wench' on the voluntary devotedness
and loyalty of all &eland to the present Royal reigning
house, comparing it with the fiendish slate of discord in
in America, the tyranny of France in Italy, the dii.
nieruherment of Greece, the arbitrary conduit of the
rider of Prussia, and the despotism of the Great Bear
of Ramis in his own country. and in Poland.

PULHA M.—Among the many places that hove byes
the men* of rejoicing to celebrate the marriage of the
Print e of Wale*. and to prove their love and attachment
to the future King of England, none we believe have
shown their loyalty to the Queen and Royal family more
than the usually quiet and retired little village of
Pelham, whieh on Tuesday was the 1110P0e of greet fes-
tivities. The worthy rector of the parish. the Rev. J.
T. Hindu (whose heart I. always open to the benefit of
the poor) together with Halsor. Rut, and G. D. W.
High,. Esq., most liberally gave sway • fat bullock,
weighing upwards at 30 ocore, to the poor inhabitants
of the village, which we believe will be long and thank-
fully remembered. We must not forget to mention the
kinitneri of Mr. Gatehouse end Mr Follett, the church-
wardens, in conjunction with the achoclinaater end
tenantry of the parish, for their kindness in carrying
out the arrangements for the distribution, no as to give
satisfaction to all concerned, and also for the liberality
In subscribing for • hogshead of beer, the distribution of
which took place in the evening at the school-room. In
the evening the farmers of the parish and several neigh-
bouring friends dined together at that well-known
bostelery the Kew Inn. Hoak Crocker. where "The
health of the Queen aid Royal family," " Success and
haripinees to the Royal Prince and Princess," together
with the newtt loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk and
responded to, after which the farmers adjourned to the
school-room, where for one. distinction end rank were
forgotten, every one meeting in one heart to conduce to
each otl era happiness. Doom after dance followed in
rapid anocemion, intersper,ed with song and sentiment,
until the small boars warned them to depart, which he
it said to their credit they did in the most orderly
manner.
