LANGTON. —Cacaos Minsiousa• SOCIITY.
On Sunday afternooo, the 11th instant, a sermon
was presched in Langtoo Church by the Yen.
Archdeacon Hortable, on behalf of the funds of the
Church Missionary Society. Prayers were read by
the Rev. It. Farquharson. The preacher selected as
his text, Matthew zxviii., 18, 19, 20. He first
dwelt upon the power and majesty of Christ; then
on His humility and sufferings. The poorest among
all the Dorset labourers was not so poor as He was,
or suffered such misery an if. did; and yet all power
in heaven. with its bright intelligences, and on earth
where man was endowed with mach wisdom, was
given to Him. This wee shown is a marked manner
by the articles of skill exhibited in the Exhibition
building; every article there ezhibited was made
by men professing to be Christians; and the up-
riglitnese and singleness of purpose which character.
lied the people of this country we. mainly to be
traced to the blamed results which followed a
knowledge of the will of Gad. The power which
Christ claimed as His wee, however, a source from
which the effected and sorrowful might derive oon•
solation, and it was given to them as a reward
for His humility and love to mankind. The
persons whom He addressed—poor despised fisher.
mono( a despised nation. Them were the instruments
tinit employed for this great work. Their success
we. however, great, and it was computed that at
the end of the first century there were 500,000 ,
, Christians. The rev, gentleman then depicted the
aid condition of those who were idolaters. To he
an idolater was to be bound hand and soul to the
devil. It was a system of cruelty to both mind
and body. This was shown by the self-inflicted
tortures of those, who, to obtain pardon of their sins,
prostrated themselves before the car of Juggernaut ;
and it was •solemn fact that the Queen of Rogland,st
the present time, ruled over 150 millions of idolaters.
The rev, gentleman, in making his appeal on behalf
of the society, detailed the snowse which had at.
tended the labours of it missionaries from the time
the first missionary was sent out, in lhl4, to the
present time. They had now 42 mission stations. 2,021
native teachers, 800 schools, and 38,000 'cholera,
17,700 communicants, and the Scriptures had been
translated into 30 different languages. The rev.
gentleman then concluded a very earnest and 'zod.
loot discourse by pointing out the various mum
which had hindered the work, the chief of which
was the demoralizing effect which the bad conduct
of Europeaos residing in heathen countries had upon
the natives. Even in India, at the present time,
where important railway works were going on, the
missionary found that the evil example of the navvies
produced such a bed eff.ot as nearly to destroy the
good which had been dame; and in the most earnest
manner entreated his countrymen to give up their
evil practices of swearing and drunkenness. At
the close of the sermon a collection was made, which
amounted to £6 14s.

CHARLTON MARSHALL INCINDIARIEDI.
We regret to state that on Sunday morning.the I lib
inst., afire was discovered raging in an outbuilding
belonging to Mr. Dimner, in which was deposited
• considerable quantity of agriculturel machinery
and implements. There is too much reason to oon-
clads that the fire was the work of an incendiary.
At the back of the beading wherethefirecommenced
is a cottage belonging to Mrs. G. Robins, but the
inmates positively declare that they bad no fire after
half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night. The fire
was first discovered by a person named Hicks, who
lived nearly opposite the building, and who im-
mediately gave the alarm, and then hastened into
Woodford for the fire-eogine. In a very short space
of time a part of the brigade, under their worthy
superintendent, Mr. Barnes, were on their way to
the place; but by the time they arrived, the out-
building and its contents were completely destroyed,
and the fire had communicated with the adjoining
cottage. Through the active and praiseworthy
exertions of the brigade, and a few others who were
present, the fire was soon checked, and the cottage
saved. Had the engine and brigade been • quarter
of an how later, nothiag could have prevented the
total deatruction of the whole. Too much praise
cannot be given to the brigade for their promptness
and expedition. The news arrived in Bleadford
just before tbree,and by a quarter-past they were on
their way to the spot, and within two hours they
had conquered the fire, were back into Blandford,
and their engine deposited in the engine-house—We
understand that Mr. Diran,r's loan is partly covered
by insurance in the Sun Fire Moe, and that the
cottage was insured in the London. A reward of
LIO is offered to any one who shall give each infor-
mation as shall laid to the apprehension and con-
viction of the offender.

railed anything by taking the bay; their only
object seemed to be a sorter pride in their manor's

Behaved it was the plaintiff's son. He told her if it
was not paid Mr. Cheemman would put it into the
court. She answered they weld not pay the bill
then. The meson she got a fraud to write the
