A WALL KNOCKED DOwp DT A RullAW AY 110IME. -About
eleven o'clock on Friday night, the Burden Hotel 'bus
was brought round to the yud at the back of the hotel,
and the horses taken out, after returning from the last
train. One of the horses was led to the stable, the
other being left to drink at the trough. The horse
somehow got frightened, and ran up the street, turning
through Lennox-street towards the Esplanade. It
next jumped on the pavement of Victorin•terram, with
the harness dangling around it, and became more
frightened still as its hoofs sounded on the pavement.
Increasing its speed, it dashed down almost clue to
the area railings until it met the low stone wall at the
mouth end of the terrace. The wall reaches about half.
way across the end of the pavement, and against it the
horse dashed with such violence as to knock down the
will instantly, though it is of solid atone about inches
thick, and is finished at the end by a pillar about a foot
thick. The stones were dashed down with such
violence as to crack SOMo of the pavement outside, and
the impetus of the hone carried it halfway across to
the Belvidere, before it. fell. The bones of its chest
were forced almost on the lungs, and although the
bleeding was very little, the poor animal was mortally
injared, and, to put an end to its sufferings, it was
killed.

great number of friends who withed to have a "lent
look" at thelmortal remains of one whom they had loved
so Touch, the body of Mrs. Ashton was, by the with of
the deacons of Gioueester-street chapel, removed to the
vestry, a room adjoining that place of worship, but
approached from Mr. Ashton's house, and there was
visited by a great number of sorrowing friends. The
funeral took place on Saturday afternoon last, the
Derek's being held in Gloucester-street chapel, conducted
by the Rev. W. Lewis. The body of the chapel was
full, and all the dissenting minister' of the town were
present. A number of the Royal Engineers who attend
at Gloucester.street were in the gallery. As the chief
mourners. the husband, sons, and relatives o the
deceased, entered, the organist, Mr. T. S. Wallis, played
the Used March in SauL The Rev. W. Lewis
read a great number of well-seleeted pusages,
relating to the interest of Christ in believers,
and the resurrection of the dead, all tending
to give contort to the bereaved, and then de-
livered an address on the necessity and uses of
effiiction,concluding with aa appeal to the unconverted.
The hymn " Hear what the voice from Heaven pro-
claims" wee sune, prayer was offered, and the primeasioo
was formed in the following order :

The funeral arrangements were conducted by Messrs.
Hallett snot Son. The prousaion was followed by •
crowd of sympathising spectators. and advanced over
the Backwater Bridge to the Cemetery chapel door ;
but no service was performed in that chapel, The coffin
WAS carried by Mr. Buck, Mr. Damon, Mr. Seymour,
and Mr. Bennett, the four deacons, to the grave on the
Dissenters side. Here a prayer was offered by Mr.
Lewis, and the body was committed to the earth with
the usual words. After this some of the mourners dia.
penal, and the others returned across the Backwater
Bridge. The tad event was "improved" on Sunday
night by the Rev. B. Gray, of Blandford, who selected
as his text Romans viii. 11. Thu chapel was crowded
to excess, and many were unable to obtain admission,
although the aisle, stairs, and every available spau
WY filled. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. Ashton in
his low. Among those who have called to offer their
condolence were the Rector and Mrs. °naves.

Dawes in conclusion, remarked that there had been
considerable expense in getting op this Isidore ; but he
did not want the !Anglian's to give to the collection
unities they were satistied—(spplaose).
The Re.. T. Quarts thanked Mr. Dawes for the
research bis lecture had shown, and the trouble he bad
been at in getting up the illustrations. From the
lecture it was quite evident that church music had
always been an instrument for great good when it was
congregational. In the dark night of the Roman
chureb, it degenerated into the priests singing to the
people ; but at the Reformation it become again con-
gregational singing. He believed they were indebted
to the Reformation for congregational singing es well as
for many other great blessings. He supposed the right
and proper sequel of the lecture would be that be should
put himself in the bands of Mr. Dawes to be taught
music, for the lesson seemed to be that the great use of
the clergy is to sing, lint he demurred to that
altogether—be did not wish to have • singing clergy--
(mer). The clergy should learn to preach end teed the
devotions of the people, and allow them to sing
the praise of God. He Zid not wish oongregational wor-
ship to become a mere dielogse between the clergyman
and tbe clerk, nor did he wish the musio of the ebnrch
to be an exhibition on the part of the choir. His object
, in taking the chair was to stir them up to take • more
important part in churob pinging, and he hoped the
meeting would have that effect. But God forbid they
should have • singing clergy, for he believd it was the
first step to ritualism. The clergy were very often
blamed ; but he believed ritualism was not miesteraft
but peopleoraft. Tbe people of Israel it was that
induced Aaron to make the golden calf, and It was
because the people liked ritualism that the clergy were
so apt to adopt it The ostensible object they bed in
going to the Howse of Goa -the worship of Him—ought
to be their real object; and as to gratifying their puisi.
sal taste at church, he would rather that men went to
the theatre, if they were determined to do so, than
that they should turn the house of God into a theatre
—(bear, hear). He would not have been there, if
he thought the object of their meeting was to
create • thirst for display in the house of God ; hut be
could not see why the publio psalmody should be
, defective In harmony. They should make it their object
1 to unite in all the parts of the worship of God, the
prayers as well aa the praise—(hmar). There is ore great
secret in good singing—they 'motif never rise to the
highest ideal of church mush, until their singing came
from hearts filled with the bee of our God and Saviour
Jeims Christ. Until then there would be • went or per-
fection in their ingiag, and it would be formal and cold.
The encode, when he gave the direction "singing with
grace in your hearle unto the Lord," gave the best
receipt for ringing witb the lips. What is wanted at
St. Mary's was warm hearty congregational singing, in
which all could take part, and which would be ILO
acceptable service to our God—(applause).

others to chow the esteem in which singing was held by
the western nations. Antiphonal singing, or the taking
of different parts by the trebles and mile voices, was

The full choir performed Elvey's "Arise, shine," in

Of late years we have had • so-ealled revive) of choral
service in two different styles, Anglican or Church of
England, and Gregorian or mediaeval. The Anglican,
or full service, is objected to by some as being too florid
and notcongregational; hut to this Mr. Dawes answered
that those who want to sing should raise themselves to
the level of the music, and not expect the labours of
all our great inusioimui to be thrown entirely on one
aide. An old writer his raid that, as ell cannot sing,
there is no reason why thew who cannot should not
derive as much edification from hearing others sing as
by the prayers that others read. As to the reason
assigned In favour of Gregorian music by its par-
tisans—that it is entirely ecclesiastical, and that
the more florid music is more like operatic and
other secular music, Mr. Dawes urged that some of the
very tones called Gregorian are aimilar to these used by
the Greek flute players and Roman priestesses. He
thought there was ample scope for the congregation to
monotone or intone the responses, and sing the Amen
in unison or harmony, letting the choir sing the service
and the anthem. Mr. Dawes advocated placing the
girls or women on one side, and the boys on the other

should unite in the Amen and Gloria Petri. This would

• • • e• It only requires that neighbouring
parishes should adopt something like a uniform system,
form themselves into choral aesociations and by periodical
meetings cause • unity of feeling with respect to church
music, as well aa having a spirit of emulation excited
by watching each other's program. Where they (meld
not afford to continue the weekly supervision of the
choirmaster, they might send their leading voice with
• sub-master of each choir to attend weekly practices.
Then, again, the first rudiments of music having been
mastered in each choir, every member should endea-
vour to form a little fireside choir or class, and we
might in time see people in churches with their prayer
books noted, and young ladies, instead of 'mending their
time in equalling Italian operatic airs, learn to take part
in our glorious services, and feel it not only their duty,
but their privilege to be seen in the choir taking their
own proper side—(applauee.)
The choir also sang the beautiful eventide hymn
" Abide with me • ' lent falls the eventide."
Mr. Iniwes at the conclusion of his lecture, addressing
the congregation of St. Mary's said he felt himself to
be in rath••r • difficult position, as he had not been
regularly appointed organist, but was introduced by Mr.
Hooke, and people might perhaps say they disl not want
him to give an opinion ; but he had been requested to
do so. Whether they thought he was the right man to
effect an Improvement or not, he could not tell ; but if
not let them get • better one, for the time had some
when It was necessary some improvement should be
made. At St. Paul's the choir had been called together,
and told that if them was not some improvement, they
must aloes altogether, the music was so bad. He booed
however, that what they did would not pass off entirely
in talk ; but that they would really do something. A
