FArrzrora Taour.—As a general rule large fish are
most often taken in large water; but abundance of
food, easily obtained, is also conducive to the large and
rapid growth of fish. I had two wooden boxes made,
one within the other, with a span of three Inches
between them to keep off the too great heat of the
run, but without any bottom 4, them, instead of which
a few round iron ban were placed across them. This
double bin was suspended over the river near where a
trout lay. A gamekeeper supplied the inner box,
through Its lid, with hares and rabbits, in which the
flies laid their eggs. The iron bare which supported
the rabbits allowed the maggots to fall through them
Into the water, and the trout rapidly innesad in size
on food thus procured without much exertion.—

Ariu. Amery's&Aar. The mini.
vagary services in connection with this place of
worship were held on Good Friday. In the afternoon
a sermon was preached by the Rev. J.
formerly of this circuit, from the words—" Surely
this was the Son of God," on which he founded an
able and Interesting discourse. Tea was provided in
the Corn Exchange at five o'clock, of which about
$OO partook. There wee a public meeting at 6.30,
presided over by Mr. Rains, of Up-Cerne. Mr. G.
Crocker gave the report, from which it appeared that
the debt on the chapel has been reduced to 13660, and
we have no doubt that that sum will soon be mad*
up. Interesting and instructive addressee were then
delivered by the Rev. J. T. Ramley, Rev. W. Allen,
and Rev. J. MAR

Ws understand that Lord Alington, who is
always desirous of sedating the working classes,
has placed the old Wesleyan Chapel, in Durngater-
street, at the disposal of all the Benefit Societies of,
the town, as a "General Benefit Societies Hall,'
where the °Hoare and Members, numbering consider-
ably over one thousand. of the industrial classes, may
meet and transact their business; certain Societies
meeting on certain days, by an arrangement to be
mutually agreed on. His lordship will, we believe,
lay out a oonsiderable sum of money in fitting up and
making the rooms comfortable and suitable for the
purpose) intended, and the acquisition of a good build-
ing on such End and favourable terms is haled with
pleasure by the large number of provident Mell com-
posing the different societies, who have long been
desirous of acquiring a place of meeting of this descrip-
tion.
