Brent, for, singular to relate, the land there is mainly

I Deriver, the turves hymn was sung in church
• them sad the Archdeacon reigned supreme at the
laden board. There were not, perhaps, so many
decoratinee as formerly in the village, but
there were quite sufficient to inform the stranger
that the day was ere apart as • gala-day, and
the keeps of happy it-Magee who crowded the
vicarage grounds was as unnerous 11,1 ever. Other
parishes supplied their qaota of visitors, and the old
and the yowl slide up quite a goodly @ht.+. Tbe
Archdukes @broiled about amongst them, and made
every see feel at m.o. A little before noon he in-
timated that service time was a ing, and two
heeds that had been sessued fee Lb. Weston-

Drum and Fife bawl ere antics to know what
Sue they should strike up in searching to the
sanctuary. "04.," and the Archdeacon, "God ease
Lb. Qualm," by all mesas, on gain to chime; sever
riled what you play as leave( it. Accordingly our
giorimka National Anthem was struck up, sad as
many as could liod Okras end standing aoconneeda-
tioa leaked into tbe tiscred edifice. No special
adornment of the interior had been effected, and save
' for two ears of wheat had on Lb. Communion
there wax nothing re typify tbe festive occasion.
The Litany was as* sad an effective anthem sung.
The Arebdesees elm ascended the paint. and gave
out as his eat the rt,h verse of the Snead Epistle
•18t. John —"f: trust to come man sou. and speak
hes to hes, that our jay may he fall." He showed
that thee were dine canoes of their coming together
that Asp fine, the sasewbly was an act of thanks-
give( to God; next, it was the means of bringing
differing dames together; and thirdly, it afforded an
opportunity for almsgiving. When the service was
concluded, the 'on left the church, and the
UMW prepared to follow their leader to a specious
Net, whores dinner of • most waletantial character
was laid out. The tent was, as nasal, adorned with
vrofffrouleared mottoes, and about 400 " sturdy WWI
of toil" wry ounded the groaning board, and tbe
Archdeasiva having struck • gong, grate was said,
all toll in with a gusto, and soon, too:pate Bloomfield,
The rib of b. grew light,
Aid pudding., till the boys got round 'em,
And lien they vasidted wine.

However, we mum not anticipate. The puddings
•erere not dispatched thus unceremonious] y hefore they
:had been borne into the tent in triumphal procession
by • train of ladies, headed by the musicians, and •
young lady bearing • flag. A large chows from the
•dairy of Mr. Hewitt, of East Brent. was next dis-
patched, and pronounced by owitical farmers,
"creditably stuff" The Yen. Arclidescon, we need
hardly add, presided, while the vice chair was
taken lit Mr. Whiting, one of the churchwardens.

The Vet& Atioureacore roes end proposed the
" Health. of Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince

Stele, he said that there was no single hodY or we.
who represented the Church, but that it was repre-
sented by both clerp and laity.
The next to= given by the Archdeacon was the
" Army and Navy, coupled with the name of Make
Port, and who would be better able to tell them
how greatly the army damned the confidences of
Englishmen. (Cheers.)
Mejor Piton, in acknowledging the compliment,
said that be himself ewe= in the army
for Often yeers. It might therefore be
thoegie only natural that be should have
their interims at heart, and that he
should speak up and say a good word for his brethren
in the army, and he thought they deserved it.
(Chemin) He thought that the history of England,
from the earliest period to the present time, would
show nothing but a genes of victories of the British
army, of whit* they as Englithatoi were proud, and
had every reason to he proud. (Cheers.) It was
not • nutter of surprise that the army of England
should widen sack eimeriee--mich glorious victories
—wins they saw the staff of writ t their British
army was made. (Cheers.) The stuff of which the
easy wee made was the stuff of which
Englishmen were made, and be seintaiged the army
of &geed was more titan equal to any army in the
world. (Cheers.) The vette= of their array were
a matter of INA history; but the victories they
achieved is Eagle= were not only those glorious
victories white they *wed to their army they had

notice is times of pea= It was their peaceful
victories giblet hall the effect of making England
what the wee, said he could only say for himself that
be had had very great pleasens In asniming there that
afternoon. It was one of elst he °wider= the
greatest victories of the age, sad he thought is •
victory everything was des, or • great deal, to the

He {bought that meetings of that description were

They had the effect of displaying more plainly than
anything that the interests of see were the
intense of all • sad whether it were the
interests of the labourer, or of the farmer, or of the
esquire. they were all 110 bnilald up, the on. with the
other, hied and hears, that they must all stand or
fall together. (Hear, bear.) Ole great thing which
was the meson of that income, which wee not
unusual in Eogliebnign was, that they always kept
in view on. aim. It was their object to have one
aim in view, and to follow that out regardless of
an thing dee, or deny cossequeooes. (Cenra) It
wee all very well to porch • germ= upon Levies an

vour of these, and all men as well, as that thetas an
