That is jnat we mtue, -_ .e 1 pray
that the rampart raised against sin might not be over-
wheimed.—The Bey. IL Glover, superintendent of the
eireult, in a very excellent speech, elleded to the many,

t encouraging promises of success which God had given
to all engaged in missionary work. The Master's eye
is constantly upon us to Pee how we are employing
our talent. . The work was a vast one, and would not
be aticomplished till every human soul WWI the subfe.t
of Cod's converting grace. There were many encourag-
ing oirounistatices connected with it. One was, that as
we increase the work we increase the agency. Every
single convert became a coadjutor, and in most places
where the work was begun others took it up. Fields of
usefulness are being opened up everywhere, on the
Continent of Europe, in China, India, fsc. More help
was required, but thin they could not have without in.
creased liberality. As Christ was continually advocating
their cause at His Father's right hand, they should
be continually seeking to advance his cause on
earth. All other causes sank into insignificance
when compared with this. The foundation of
all religious societies were love to God, and
intense love to man. There was another source of
encouragement, in addition to the £130,000 raised at
home, between £30,000 and £40,000 had been raised at
miseion•stations. The rev, gentleman referred to an
anecdote related of Mr. Wesley, who, having his plans
arranged for several weeks, was asked by a lady what:Ube
should do supposing he knew he should die in • few
days, to which he replied he should preach at
that place, and attend • meeting at another, just
according to the plan he had laid out.—The Rev. James
Cooke, of Poole, in his usual earnest manner, also
addressed the meeting, calling attention especially to
the fact that Christians ought no more to neglect
Christ's injunction to spread the Gospel than they bad
,to break any commandments of the decalogue. He
also referred to the encouragements they met with
from the openings of Providence, the increased cont.
munication,and the support which Christian missionaries
had in India from the military officers. Votes of
thanks to the chairman, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Cooke were
passed, and after the Doxology was sung the meeting
separated. The total receipts, including the Christmas
juvenile offerings, amounted to about £l4.
MCAT TO WORKING•II6N.—On Wednesday
evening, the 11th inst., through the kind liberality of
our esteemed rector, the major part of the workmen
engaged in the repairing and decorating the interior of
Blaudford Church, were invited to a bounteous supper,
provided for them at the rev, gentleman's expense.
Upwards of 20 availed themselvie of the opportunity,
when • most pleasing and instructive evening was spent.
The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given with all
due honours, when the rev. gentleman gave some
graphic descriptions of the privations endured by the
Coventry operatives during the great stagnation of the
ribbon trade. He &leo pointed out the unjustness of
the free-trade principle in ribbons, by which the '
English operatives have to pay 11l per cent, to export
ribbons, whilst the foreigner could import his free. The
rev, gentleman, in wishing success to the church and to
all who were engaged in the undertaking, beautifully
illustrated his remarks by referring to the building of
the ark by Noah, hoping that all who assisted in
adorning the visible church, would also take a part and
have their names registered in the spiritual church.
The superintendent of the works, Mr. W. Groves,
sated as vice•chsirman, and the evening's amusemente
were much enlivened by his reeding selections from
Barnes's poems in the Dorset Dialect. The Revs. J. G.
Cunning and•Wickharn were also present. The former
gentleman, in proposing the health of the rector, said
he was sure, from his own experience, that the longer
Mr. Quirk resided in Blandford, the more would he be
beloved and esteemed. Mr. Quirk suitably acknow-
ledged the compliment, and said nothing give him
greater pleasure than is promoting the welfare and
happiness of his parishioners.
COURT OF CHANOXRY.—The decree of The Right Hon.
Sir J. Stuart, in the long pending suit of Pettey v.
Baacombe, was appealed against, and came on before the
Lords Justices on Thursday, when they could not see
why a new trial should bell/ranted, and therefore con-
firmed such decree.

DCRWESTON.—On Thursday evening, the 12th

The vocal solos were princir.ially sustained by Miss
Glyn, the Misses Osborne joining in duets, and the
chorus consisted of about 25 of the school children, who I
had evidently undergone very careful training at the '
hands of Miss Osborne. The instrumental music con- 1
sisted of two harmoniums and a pianoforte, the Misses '
Osborne performing very skilfully on the former instru-
ment.. '
The concert commenced with a full chorus of I
thirty voices, singing "All bail the Great Emmanuel's ;
Name f' followed by "He shall feed his flock," by Miss :
Glyn, accompanied on the piano by Miss G. Osborne. '
This was succeeded by "Lift up your heads," by 1
the Misses Osborne, on two harmoniums, which !
called forth load applause. Miss Glyn then sang :
"Consider the lilies," in a very pleasing manner. The .
anthem, "Praise the Lord, ohjerusalem," the quartette '
was sung by Miss Glyn, the Misses Osborne, and Mr. 1,
Russell, the chorus singers joining in with excellent '
effect. An air from Ruth, "Entreat me not to leave '
thee," was then sung by Miss Glyn, and deservedly
encovd. The Misses Osborne then played a Sanctus, !
by Mozart, on two harmoniums, and the first
part concluded with a fall chorus of the Hahne' children, '
"The strain upraise." After an interval often minutes,
"See the conquering hero comes" was played !
on two harmoniums. The school children then sang a
very pretty carol for the new year, " Hark ! the voice
of joy and singing," which was loudly encored. Miss J
Glyn then accompanied herself in Oh plaintive air,
"Sands of Dee ;" Miss Rickman following with a solo on 1
the piano. Some old hilootah aim were next played by
Miss Rickman (piano), Miss Osborne (harmonium), and
Miss G. Osborne (triangle). Some of these beautiful
airs were repeated at the request of the audience. A
trio and chorus, "All's for the best," sung by the
Misses Osborne and Miss Glyn, was also encored, Miss
Rickman accompanying rm the piano. Lady S. G.
Osborne and Mr. Osborne were next encored in a duet
On the pianoforte Miss Glyn and the Misses Osborne
afterwarns singing, "May Bells and Flowers," and the
school children, "The Hunt is up," an old English hunt-
ing song, which was followed by a glee, given by the
lady vocalists, and Moors. Russell, Collis, and Adlern.
This glee was also encored. An old English love song,
terindi "Pbillida," sung by Mies Glyn, which was
encored, concluded an entertainment which may fairly
be said to have been a complete success.
SHAFTESBURY.—L TTErteRT INSTITUTION. The
members and friends of this institution were, on
Tuesday evening, the 17th inst., entertained by Mr.

"an evening with the Poets," which consisted of read-
ings and recitations of choice selections from the
"Ingoldsby Legends." "Thaskeray," "Hood," "Lamb,"
and other celebrated authors, and which were rendered
in good style. The latter part of the evening was given
to readings from Barnes's poems, in the Dorset Dialect,
which, as usual, drew forth the mirth and applause of
the audienoe. The attendance was good, and the fre-
quent marks of applause with which Mr. Rickman was
greeted showed that his talents were thoroughlyppre-
elated.
