Aldermen in the 'Press on Beggar'. Rasp, It need not be said it deals with the vexed question .of
the demolition of the trees on the Great Weems road,
and consists chiefly of correspondence not, hitherto,
made public. From • canary risme we learn the
egtorpos=sties are each actuated by the purest de-
em and the most unselfish des for the

asulasoa as view of the matter that the wishes of
the town should he consulted.

the spirit was being wasted, and then a considerable
quantity bad rue away. A constable was sent in
search of the fellows, and he found them at the
Chequers, making merry over their capital joke. The
change in their Amps was very great when they
were told they would have to pay another visit to the
Made. Back they were marched, however, and
there offered the alternative of paying the damage or
going to the leck-ttp. They mustered 6s. between
them, and took their departure, saddened and sobered.

LA-I/TiEJLACHER AT THE P 1111171•1 METHODIST
CH•PLL.—YhOES who have no objection to ladies
pulpits may be interested to loiow that the
frienPrif Primitive Methodism in this town, have
again engaged the services of Miss Parker, the well
known preacher who has ban labouring in various
wt., and who since her last visit to the county town
has pad • visit to the Isle of Wight, and other distant
towns. The lady commenced a series of special
services On Sunday HIGTEing, when there 114/ aline
attendance. During the afternoon there was a camp
meeting in Grove Buildings, at which several members
took part, and at five o'clock an open sir service was
held at the end of Mill-street. At half-past six Miss
Parker again held • service, the chapel on this
occasion being crammed. Mks Parker is a very lady-
like person, tall. and graceful in her manner. Me
erkgfluently, and distinctly. Her manner is very
sing, and her hearers are kept in breath-
es. silence whilst she tells forth the simple
story of the Cross. Her usual course is to select a
chapter by way of lesson and carefully to expound
each verse as she reads. She afterwards takes a
passage of scriptures as a text, but she sloes not
sermonise in the common acceptation of the term.
Her discourses form more a gospel address, inter-
spersed with various anecdotes of 800001 whammed by
herself during her tour of evangelistic work. The
usual excitement on such occasions,and any attempt to
force persons to the penitent form, or to make a pro-
fession of faith is avoided. Her manner is calm add
and the secret of her success seems to be her
rentridi le, oving, persuasive, argumentative style.
Every evening this week the urvioes are to be con-
tinual, and on Sunday next Miss Parker will again
preach.--Comaissirated.
YOUNG HEN'S CHRISTIAN Annocurion.—On Thurs-
day evening the members of this Association were
addressed by the Rev. T. Neave. There was a large

of the committee presided. The meeting was opened
with singing and prayer, and the reading of a portion
of Proverbs I. attar which Mr. Neave commenced his
address, founding his remarks on the werda "Godliness
is profitable unto all things." It war a masterly and
profitable discourse, and was Reamed to with much
attention. The rev, gentleman allowed the different
positions in life in which Godliness would be profitable;
It was essential in business, in pleasure, it led to • life
of happiness, • death of peace, and was mks:unary for
hereafter. Thou was no real happiness in the world
without it, and he* made a forcible appeal to his
hearers to seek this godliness and to live entirely for
Christ. —At the close another hymn was jsung, and the
Chairnian proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr.
Nance for his excellent addres• This was cordially
seconded by Mr. Dixon, the Secretary of the Associa-
tion, and acknowledged by the rev, gentleman, who
mentioned the pleasure it gave him, and the honour
he felt in being permitted to give an annual address
to the members of that Association. He sincerely
and earnestly prayed that God's blessing might a
them, and urged the young men then present to value
more highly the mesas of grace the room aforded. and
to attend the meetings which were held there from
time to time' reminding them, as had the Secretary in
In his remarks, that the best way to avoid evil we. to
endeavour to get good. The meeting then separated.
