The natural tendency of a noble mind is to take the
weaker side, so it is not to be wondered at that, with
" Mad John" to represent the Bulgarians, our
excellent member, Mr. Edwards, has pronounced ,
strongly against the Russians. Meanwhile the latter
have taken Kars, a feat which almost all Englishmen
regret, however they may expect sae ultimate success
of Russia as the only source from which peace may be
hoped. Russian successes in Asia are supposed, with
much reason, to threaten our Indian Empire, and
those who see no hope for the subject races from
women's-blood-stained Turkey, would prefer that the
Turks held all their Asian possessions. But the
Russians have, it must be remembered, previously
taken both Kars and Erseroum in Asia. and in Europe
Varna, and before the gates of Andrianople they made
peace Let those who are so jealous .4 Russia look
back into history, and read whether that peace was,
or was not, made on terms moderate to the Turks.

--
Encroachments on our Quay and streets by the
Allied Companies cannot be disposed of hastily. On
the one hand is the conaiderable trade, which the
companies wish to develop, and which is of the greatest
value, apparently, to the Harbour Fund ; on the other
the rights of the residents to all the peace and
comfort they reckoned on and paid for when they
bought or rented their houses. Mr. Howard,
who is very clever at putting cases, suggested
that private rights must give way to public wants, and
railways must even be allowed through parks, if
necessary. Quite true; but it must be remembered that
wherever vented rights, especially those of owners of
real property, are interfered with, the same law that
gives the public need the power to override private
rights, gives also to the private-right-owner full and
just compensation. This is of the essence of the case ;
if the companies' trade requires the Quay, if even a
siding is to he occupied, and trucks are to come close
up to the footpath, then the question is—whether
compensation is due? The magi-drates and magis.
trate's Clerk certainly ought to have a share too, if
they are to hear such obstinately contested cases as
that of Tuesday, all for a shilling and costs. The
c,,mpanies must have more sidings, if even a double
line cannot be made ; for there is positively not enough
room Ca- the trade; but surely they won't expect to get
it free of cost.

GLOUCESTER-STREET CHAPEL ANNIVERSARY.
The friends worshipping at Gloucester-street Chapel
hail a very pleasant gathering on Wednesday evening,
commencing with • tea in the schoolroom, where sat down
as large a company as is usual at the meetings of this
enterprising church.
After a short interval, the friends again assembled in
the schoolroom, which was very full.
The Pastor (Key. E Bolton) presided, supported by the
Rev. W. Lewis (Hope Chapel), Rev. W. M. Fell (Portland),
Rev. J. Bailey (Baptist), Rev. J. S. Biltcher(Upwey), Rev.
W. Smith, Rev. J. Turley (Primitive Methodist), Rev. H.
Tubb (Lower Bond-street Chapel), &c.
The proceedings were opened with singing, and the
Rev. J. BAILEY offered prayer, after which the PASTOR
referred to the work of decoration and repair in which
they had been engaged, and which none regretted in
connection with their boantiful place of worship.
(Applause.) This was not the annual business meeting;
hut he remarked this. the past had been a very happy
year, they had been aide to do a little more than hold
their own, for the additions to the church would be found
1,, be not under what they might have expected.
Ciiiifidence, freedom, and outspokenness had reigned. and
he had et, occasion to mistrust any one. (Applause.) Mr.
Neave was attending a recognition service at Pere Regis,
:Led Mr. Allen was called away by another meeting. But
he was .lippiirtsel by several other ministers, and intended
to clo,e by r quarter-pant nine, so he warned the speakers
t le brief.
Rev. W. H. FELL would not attempt to make a speech,
for it took him 10 minutes to get up the steam. Ile
acknowledged the hospitality of the friends at the
meetings of the Dorset County Congregational Association.
Their chapel was one of the most pleasant places he knew
if, to speak in, and by the way he advised them to call
the place of worship a church, which is a better name.
When he came home from New Zealand, he found
the minister received him oddly, and instead of being an
In dependent minister as he was out in New Zealand, he felt
he was only the minister of an Independent church, and
some of them seemed as if he were come to take the bread
iiut of their mouths. (1.. vughter.) But in the Smith he
wax received with open arms, and could work cordially
with all mini-der,, around. (Applause.) Home Missionary
work he urged theta all to be earnest in, to get those who
go to no place of worship to come to this church, for that
feature is, the Wesley ans he very ranch admired. (hear.)
Their pastor he urged them to be cordial to, to always
,peak well to and of, for a pastor is very much what his
people make him. (Applause.)
ANTHAM "Awake, awake, lilt on thy strength, 0
Zion." Mr. Rogers presided at the harmonium.
The Rev. WALTCR ERIK of Lilworth, endorsed all that
Mr. Fell had sad about the kindness with which those
coming into these parts are received, he had experienced it
himself. The perfect peace in this church wa, something
to lie thoroughly grateful for, to Our Father in Hesven.
Every one needs to he at work for the Li ird. as Mr.
Spurgeon pointed out—When the spies said "Let not
all the people go up to Ai," they were beaten; but when
the IL mil spoke he nail "Let all the people go up,"
and then they were victorioue. The moral is that the
responsibility must not he thrown upon ministers or
Sunday school teachers only, but all the church should
work, and if we try ti tied out our special work, we shall
he able to do something. He hoped the next year would
be re prosperous than any before. (Applause.)
ANTHZ3I: 'Oh. Lord, how wonderful are thy works I"
This was received with applause.
Rev. W. Tuna, of Lower Host-street chapel, defended
short sermons by the anecodote of the old lady, who
hinted to her minister that he was • little long. "My
dear lady l" said the minister, "I am afraid you don't like
the sincere milk of the word," "Oh yes," said she, "but
the fashion now-a-days is, you know, condensed milk."
(Applause.) Speaking of the beautiful place of worship,
he asked "What mean ye by these stones t" And the
answer he thought was that Giei lives, and His work is
great, and they should be incited by the voices of the
stones of the building to do His work. Let them keep
Christ here is this large sanctuary, work in their various
spheres, and they would have the blessing of the Master.
(Applause.)
ANTHEM "God he merciful."
Rev. J. Tenter, Primitive Methodist, believed that in
order to sufficiently perform Christian work, the Church
needs a richer baptism of the Holy Spirit. The church has
this conviction but it is allowed to slumber, instead of
being roused into action. Yet the promise is unto us,
and there is no need for reserves, no room for doubt, no
warrant for hesitation. If we prayerfully, unitedly,
and believingly, pleaded the promise it will be
fulfilled, the conscience(' of men will be aroused, they
shall bow in penitence, kneel in peayer, rise in faith, and
obtain the salvation of their toil; the world shall be
saved, all through • church baptised with the Holy Ghost.
(Applause.)
Hymn "Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dore."
The Rev. W. SMITH reminded them that they had the
bond of sociability and Christian love to unite them, and
the Apostle called that "the bond of perfectness." One
of the most important means of doing Christ's work was
personal appeal, but it must he done properly, not as Dr.
Guthrie told —" A man going along a dreary road was
much afraid of foot-pads, when he heard • man pursuing
hint, and who managed to Come up to him, to speak a
word about his soul ; hut the way he did it was to shout
in a very uncouth manner—" Are you prepared to diet"
(Laughter.) "No," returned the timid man, "I'll give
you all the money I have to spare my life." (Laughter.)
He spoke also on the proper way of introducing the sub-
ject of religion, and was received with applause.
Rev. J. S. Ile-roma pointed out that God made us for
some particular purpose, and we have work to do, if we
can find it. Don't let its put anything in the way of any
one else coming to Christ. Let them "make straight
Paths for the feet, lest that which is lame be turned out
of the way." (Applause.)
The Rev. W. Lewis said the love they showed to each
other was what all Christian ministers ought to, and
pretty generally do; but he also believed they had been
welcoming the right sort of men. (Applause.) We had
greatly enjoyed the music, and he congratulated Mr.
Bolton, Mr. Rogers, and the rest, on the music, and pro-
posed a vote of thanks to the organist and the choir.
(Applause.)—Carried unanimously.
The PASTOR offered thanks to others who had helped,
by giving trays. The result had been so hearty that the
only fear he had was that someone would say they hadn't
been asked. (Applause.)
CHOIR "Oh ! pray for the peace of Jerusalem."
Singing and prayer closed • pleasant meeting at •
reasonable hour.

"To the Chairman of the Attendance Committee.
"We, the managers and teachers of these schools, are
smoy to have to take exception to some remarks in the
of last week relating to the mede of registration
carried on. Those remark, have made it incumbent upon
us to make the following etatentent :-The Fsitic ohm
Department has iositekl to managers tel teachers foil
fmetrertions relating to the ti 111.1•11,1 manner of !sinking
registers, and we beg mod distinctly to state that our
register. are strictly marked in accordance with those
requirements; mid we beg to 'date further that the returns
which we funki.h to poor cotanetttee are in es ery resiso•t
accurate. In the instreetions of the department it is pro.
Vided that Its ..... iter under any circumstances whatever
shall mark o register, neither ,hall they in marked even by
pupil leaeliers in their earlier years of apprentireship.
Her Majesty's I topectors are instructed ti intake • surprise
you,' ok order to test the acearacy of the registratien,
and arles.l managers are called upon to do the same from
time to time. The tilne for marking registers must lie
sanctioned by the department, and no child can be marked
present who comes to oho ii it only a minute after the
registers are marked. St.XX,elr ig any part of .chool
routine eirrounded by the Government with curb isle'
guarkle as is registrati.ku, an.l with the pains and pen iltit
attached to a breach in throe regulations, one would think
that even unprincipled teachers wetild be deterred from

Nos-Aremenseel AT AN AUDIT.-011 Tuesday last,
before the Mayor (Mr. Luntlie), Dr. Drew, Mr. Jamm
Robertson, Mr. B. Hopkins, and Mr. W. Tappet, the Owe-
seers of Owermoigne were summoned f or neglecting tin
i0u,,,„1 on: sunlit by the Poor-law auditor, Mr. Tenet.-
Mr. Welsford appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. T.
A. Ilanne for the defence. -Mr. Welsford stated that the
auditor ad been obliged to adjourn the audit and to
travel eW miles in consequence of its being adjourned.
-Mr. Howie urged that, as this was • penal
action, Mr. Welksfkkrd ought to prove most coay
elusively that the Art of Parliament had been strictly
complied with, one of the conlitions was that notice
should be sent by post to the °veneer*, 14 days preview,
to the audit. -Mr. Welsford replied that be • section oh
the Act, the notice was also to be given in some newspaper,
circulating in the county, and the production of a copy of
such newspaper should be deemed sufhrient proof that
notice lied been given for the purposes k 4 the andit. Ile
produced • cope of a Weymouth local paper, and argued
that was proof sufficient, it was not necessary for him to
send an or 70 miles for the person who sent the notice by
peat.-Mr. Benne replied that the paper produced was
really only a local paper, circulating in Weymouth, and
not a country paper, that is, not • paper circulating
throughout the county generally. He therefore urged that
Mr. Welkiford had not given such proof as required-Dr.
Drew considered the words very clear-" Shall be deemed
sufficient evidence of the notice of the audit." -The Mayor
held that sufficient notice had been given by the edvertise-
ment-Mr. }tonne continued to argue that the overseers
might not take notice of the advertisement ; but Mr.
Welsford urged that the same argument might apply to
an Act of Parliament, and the Mayor held that the notice
was sufficient for the purpose.-Mr. George Coleman then
mentioned that he was the party summoned ; but it WWI a
mistake; it was Joseph Coleman who was appointed
there WWI • mistake in the parish hooks. He had thought
that he Won the overseer appointed, and wILII told that the
second overseer had no occasion to attend. -
The Mayor thought flatters must In managed
very lonely in the parish of Owermoigne, to have
lest to each a result ' • but if Joseph Coleman waa not here,
that did not release Jame. Tucker from his reoponsibility.
-Mr. Menne appeared for Mr. Terker, and he objected
that there was no proof of hi. being merle,. The proper
way would be to call the magistrate's clerk, and prove
who was overseers. -Mr. Walter Turner said that the
proof of • man's being overseer was that he had acted.
The parish authorities had made • rate, had not had 'be
book signed ; but had colketed • considerable sum of
money illegally.-The Mayor nail matters seemed to be
managed in a very loose and unbusinesa-like way at
Oweernoigne, and he hoped the expose of this morning
would load to their being tamed out better in future,-
Mr. Welsford said that on the next occasion, if his
friend wished it, they should have the pleasure of seeing
Mr. Trask and his son, and all connected with the case.-
Mr. Hoene replied that he had seen Mr. Weleford before
he went into Court, and had asked hint if he would meet
him as to the ruse; lot he said-No, he was instructed to
press for the fullest penalty. If they were not prepared
to meet the case fairly, he etionld fail in his duty, if he
dad not raise every possible obiection.-The case was
then diemisned.
Tar MUCCI; ON YOU QUAT.--On• of the longest MIK,
or set of ease. °moldering the shortness of the evidence
itself, occupied the Bench lately, wan that on Tusadav of
alleged obstructions by trucks, and barrels on the Quay
and road at the hack of Devonshire and Pultencr
buildings, irk the South Pare-le.-Mk% Welsford appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Howard fee the plaintiffs. -
The first rase was where Charlet Jollife, agent for the
Railway Company, wan summoned for keening trucks on
the Quay longer than woe necessary. The summons
et
that this was unlawfully done ; but Mr.
Reward objected that no offence was set out because it
Ad net state it was committed "wilfully."-Mr. Welsford
eathat if unlawfully it must be wilfully, and the
. the cam had better he heard on its merits.-
W.& . regretted to have to bring the case forward,
but in compare of the removal of the steamboat offices
ha felt obbligato. During the season of the potato traffic
the Quay was wearied in such a manner se would have
the effort of driving pen- le out of their houses, and now
seeing that Mr. Nob/n-11r. Howard proteksted-it was
Mr. Jolkiffe who was summonesl.-After • "few words."
Mr. Weld krd continued that the annoyance to people
Wring there had been no great-Mr. Howard : Don t pile
up the agony in that way. (To the Bench): Why amen%
he ay he is tntereeted personally, and has lost 1100 a year
on Ms moody I-Mr. WaWord osi4 It is memory toss.

The special services were brought to a close at the
beginning of last week. The parish has been immensely
stirred up, intense and widespread interest in the services
being evoked, On Sunday the gathering of the church
was specially large, seats being placed in the aisles, and
yet no the people were scarce sufficed, in fact we heard the
congregation estimated at Met
On Monday evening a very large congregation assembled
—something wonderful for a week night set-vi e, and it
included great numbers of gentry, tradesmen and their
families, as well 114 other classes from all parts of Wey-
mouth, in fact we saw visitors from the extreme of the
I other side of the water. The services were offered with
extreme reverence, the full choir led the sinFing sweetly,
and the preacher, Rev. W. KENNION, wns illtelled to 111
deep silence. He took his text from Psalm =gide.' 3
" The Lord that made heaven and earth blew thee out of I
Zion." The preacher dep vted the multitude of devout I
Jews going out to Jerusalem to the great feast, and as '
they entered the Holy City, chanting to the priests in the
Temple—" Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of
the Lord, which by night stand in the House of the Lord;
lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bleu the Lord."
And then wafted over the streets that might intervene
between these assembled crowds and the priests who
stood on the steps of the Temple, would lie heard the
response "The Lord who made heaven and earth bless
thee out of Zion." After dwelling with much earnestness
on the Lard as the source whence we obtain blessing, the
minister continued a real atd pure Gospel sermon, con-
cluding Icy pointicg out the freeness and fullness of the
pardon which Jesus has procured, and the peace which
forms the crown of His blessing. Peace now I peace when
you go about your daily work, pear* in the church, peace
at home. All these things the Lord Jesus showers down
as He opens His divine hand to you in blessing. Oh I
remember this ! Our Father has not forgotten the wants
of His people, is ever ready to satisfy them—surely you
have learnt now to love Him, to trust Him. Surely the
wish of your heart should be that you may hear the true
answer to yony prayers in the words of the text—The
L rd bless thee, even thee, even thee—" The Lord that
made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion."
The lion. and Rev. Mr. Pattlsel made an earnest appeal
re to any who we yet hesitating, reminding them— " Oh,
remember that Jr sus who died for you is longing for
, ou." This idea, uttered in other forms, was very forcibly
