The next business was to take into consideration the
propriety of rerommemling the County Magistrates to
eatabliah an Industrial Srhool.
The MAYOR thought the Corporation ought to take up

mastintrates are, at conaiderable expense, sending to Bath
children who are not accented at the ordinary schools.
He propoaed that the Council should act independently.
Dr. DREW propmed the following resolution :—" That
the Town Clerk be requested to inform the Chairman of
Quarter Sesnions that the members of this Board unani-
mously agree in the dedrahility and neceasity of establish-
ing an Industrial School for the county of Dorset, and
they hand the county magistrates will take the matter

The Congregationalists have led off by chllecting nearly
IS for the Indian Famine Relief Fund. Other denomina-
th.ns will follow in the good work, but with a more
thoroughly aroused public opinion ofithe necessities of
the ease, they will doubtlessly do for more. We wish
them every success, and remind them that the need in
urgent. Some, perhaps, will di more if we remind them
that we are descended from the same Aryan race even
though nor heck Inc entuewlett fairer. Th ~ -e hundreds of
thousands of pounds pouring into the Mansion House
show us that the richest nation in the world can pochetb
