peculiar pleasure that the School of Art hal found
its legitimate home for their special department A

men would take a deeper interest in the welfare of
their children, that they would avail themselves of the
opportunities which were furniehe I t' them in con-
nection with the School of Art 11.4 well as the other
classes. If he might presume upon referring to his

Englishmen, and he did hope that Mr. Moule's
enthusiastic anticipations would be more than realized.

of the zeal mil enthusiasm into them which they
could generally manage t o tratm for the s;h

thing for them, and for the community. (Applause.)
He wished again to express, as " • citizen of no mean

munificence by Mx. William+, and to hope that it
would be so utilize' that he might have what he was
sure he would deem the Whom stratainetion and

Justice Coleridge abed the grest increase of crime,
existing in 1878 (the year of plenty), showing when
labour was tileutifol, and m inoy profuse, crime was
on the increase, and in 1879 when the farmeis had •

people who be I never taken chsrity all their live*,
were compelled to go to the soup kitchens for soup or
else starve. Crime was then on the decrease, plainly
showing that when the money spent in drink becamo
less, crime also became less, as In 1879 it was 21,000

good delivery and • very effective way of putting it.
He kept on well for an hour, and his first meeting was
a decided success. A vote of thanks was accorded him,
and he briefly responded. A few remack. from the
Chairman (when he announced the Rev. P. Stokes, of

" TEM FLOORS 1111.D."—This workmen's club and

Owing to the death of the late Mr. White, some very
desirable premises at • rental of £l5 per annum have
been obtained. They coneist of a lower and upper
storey, and the lower will be furnished as tea and
coffee bar, the upper as reeling and smoking rooms,
and to furnish and start these roome an outlay of from
£4O to £5O e necessary. A committee, mainly com-
posed of workingmen, has been formed to carry out
this pliui,and they appeal rivet urgently to the pubic
for help, as they and all friends of the temperance
