THE Cotreitssiostst.—A crowded meeting was held

against the introduction of the Confeasional into the
Church of England. The chair was taken by Mr.
Andrews, and the speaker; were Canen
Sir Thomas Chambers, Mr. E (reene, i& P., and
others. A reselutien was pared condemning auricntar
confeesien XI subversive of morality, social order, and
civil and religious liberty, and adopting an address to
the Queen in accordance with these sentiments. A
second resolution appealed to the bishops to use their
authority to supprens the evil, m..re especially in
theological colleges awl parochial schools ; and if these
measures should he found insufficient, the meeting !
urged their lontships to devise more effective measures,
if necenary, by an appea lto the Legislature. A third
resolution expressed confidence in the VIDITeII
Lion. The nr-eting was interrnpted by a email
number of dieeentients, and some disorder prevailed.
INDUSTRIAL SCH,OLS AND THE PRIEVVITION OF
CRIMP- —At the Chester quarter session,. on Friday,
there were only three cases on the calendar, and the
Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury, commented on
the diminution .4 all kinds .4 crime in the city.
Taking the 'met quarter and comparing it with the
average of four years previensly, he Raid there wax a
very sensible diminution. He remembered the time
when, at the commencement of his recerlership, there
were seldom len than 12, often 11, and sometimes
more than '..9) prieniers for trid, and now it WWI
unusual to have more than four ..r five, This change
he attributed in a great measure to the ragged schools
of the city, which rescued the destitute children before
they had commenced that career of crime to which
their asesciationst were almost certain to lead them,
and prevented them from filling up the rinks of the
old offenders, who seemed to be fast dying ont. Taking
even the low ground of economy, it was beet to support
these schools, and he asked the Grand Jury to .10 all
they could to aid them, and as, confer a blessing on
society at large.
CONVICTIoN OVA BANKRUPTCY TRUTTEL—REM visit.
ABLE CASE—After three long days' trial at the Dev
assizes, at Exeter, Edwin Wilkes was on Wednesday
convicted of conspiring with Lower, a bankrupt
brewer, to defraud the latter's sreslitors. The case
excited great interest in the county, the prisoner hav-

among others that of Lewer, who failed for £20,000.
It was digcovered that in Lower's cage, and probably
others, Wilkes had aided the bankrupt to conceal
valuable properties. The Treasury took up the case,
and directed the prosecution—the first of the kind ever
tried under the present Act. Specially retained
counsel from London appeared on both sides, and after
a protracted trial before a special jury summoned
under the power of the Court of Queen's Bench,
Wilkes was found guilty, and, in consideration of his
previou, high character, Mr. Justice Findley
sentenced him to three months' imprisonment only.
EXCURSION OF WORKMEN.- On Saturday lad took
place another of thaws gatherings which enable
employers and workmen tai spend together a very
pleasant day, and more delightful weather for such
trip could not be desired. It was then that the staff
employed at them office, turned out for their annual
wayze-goose, which was fixed to take place at Bourne-
mouth. Startine early in the morning, in a large
brake drawn by Tour capital horses. supplied by Mrs.
Dunn, of the Junction Hetet, we were soon rattling
on the road, the morning air being enlivened by the
sweet strains of " our ' musician (for we have one who
stands A 1 in connection with the staff.) No hitch
of any kind occurs, and at 7.40 we are safe at Host
Knowles's Royal Oak Hotel, at Sere Regis. Here one
of the beat of spreads is laid for breakfast, and
speedily discussed after which we make our way
for "Peter's Finger," and thus on to Pale
where the Antelope Hotel is found to be a capital
place to halt at, and where horses and men are
refreshed. But as all are anxious to get again into the
"fresh air" of the country, we curtail our stay to 40
minute's, and are goon on the road to Bourne. The
ride all the way has been delightful, the gardens
looked in the best order, sweet perfume from delightful
flowers met us on every stage, and the waving corn
and scenery around led us almost to wish we were
permitted to spend our days amid all the glories
surrounding our rustic brethren. But whilst the
writer is thus ruminating, the horses go merrily along,
the music and singing reigns§ supreme, and by noon the
well-known Herbert Home Tavern is reached. Here
all prepare tor a repast, served as. Hot Martin knows
how to do it, and thoroughly enjoyed. The Proprietor
and Editor joins us here, and the former presides over
the happy party. The repast having been done
ample justice to, a few c•mplimentary toasts are
given and acknowledged, and all adjourn. Boating,
rambling, riding, and striving, make up the afternoon,
and then "lobster tea" is disemised, immediately after
which we bid farewell to Bournementh and Host
Martin, and were soon on our return journey. A
couple of halts were made to "refresh the home.,"
and we reached the county town shortly before the
'witching hour, everyone confessing the day had been
the most enjoyable ever 'pent, that the " 'Goon" was
per .n.l to none ever raked by any office in the pro-

SCATI.:T ANII DAT SCIIOoL FL4TIVAL—The children
of thew scho hal their annual treat on Thursday.
During the rewaing the clouds threatened for rain,
hat at two o'clock the sun shone out. and cheered the
hearts of the juveniles. At three o'clock they fell in
at the school, and under the superintendence of the
worthy vicar the Rev. G. H. Penny, Mr. Jeatt the
masker, teachers and friends they perambulated the
village and thence to the lawn in front of the
vicarage where the good things were provided About
2-10 children sat down to tea, their wants being attended
to by many kind ladies. and gentlemen. After ample
justice hal been done the children amused themselves
, by running for prizes and other enjoyments until 8.30,
when they separated all very well pleased with their
outing..

EXCCILAION TO SITOI,UTFL—The scholars of the
Church Sunday SChOolll MVie their annual trip to the
sea4le on Friday, the place of rendezvous being
Sidmonth. Al ut half-past seven o'clock in the
morning the chddren aeeembled in front of the
vicarage, and, after being marshalled in ordcr by
their teachers. and accomlginie.l by the 7th Dorset
Volunteer and the Sherhorne Reed Rawls, marched
to the railway station. Here a train was in waiting
to convey them to Sidinouth, where they snivel

41,y, they returned home again in the evening, having
apparently thoroughly enjoyed their day's °Ming.
Many f the children's friends accompanied them, and
, it was estimated that upwards id 1,000 availed them-

LITERARY Issetrcnos. —A meeting of the members
of the above society was held on Thursday evening, !
when a large number attended. The balance-sheet for '
the year was submitted, awl showed that there was a
sum of upwards of £l4 against the society. This it
was state.l, was attiibutalite to the illness if the late
secretary of the institution (Mr. Kite). Mr. George
Stokes said he was afraid there was a further sum of;
about £7 against the society, which, however, would I
not be felt until neat year, several of the patrons
having paid their subscriptions in advance. It was '
resolved that the salary of the secretary (who was to
be appointed to-day) should be reduced to one half, £5,
until the society is again in a flourishing condition.
The business of electing a secretary was then
proceeded with. There were four candidates in for
the office—Mr. Lowrance Elgar, •olicitor's clerk • Mr.
J. W. Simmonds, accountant ; Mr. C. Minifie, clerk;
and Mr. Watts, an en -superintendent of police. After
a ballot had been taken there were found to be 27 in
favour of Mr. Simmonds' election, and 2.1 for Mr.
I Eiger. The other two were "nowhere.' Mr.
I Simmonds was then declared duly elected at a salary
of £5 a year, house-rent free, with coal, gas, &c.
Under the management of a new secretary, we venture
to hope that the title •,f affairs will turn in favour of
this old and valuable institution.

So it is decided that St. Paul's School is to
follow the example of the Charter House and
move out of the City. But Paul's pigeons, as
the boys used to be called in Milton's time, are
not to take such a long flight as to Godalming.
It is said that the site of the new school will be
somewhere beyond Kensington in the open
ground not far from the Addison Road Station.
If so, it is an excellent site, central, cheery, and
easily accessible.

I also heard, on the best authority, that
it is only a question of time when Christ's
Hospital moves out to the country. Indeed,
out of the searching investigation pending upon
the recent doings of Christ's Hospital this, it is
said, will be one of the first obviously necessary
reforms. As this is a great boarding school, the
case is even stronger than that of St. Paul's,
and it is not to the credit of the Governors that
they have stood out so long against so necessary
a reform as this. It is now decided on principle
that they are to move, but such a site is not
easily disposed of, so they may be there another
ten or twenty years. City men do not move too
fast in such affairs.

rhe Necropolis Compsny, whose premises over-look
Waterlisidiriike, seem uneasy at the spread of cre-
mation principles. They acconlingly announce theirs
as the "earth t earth- system ; but they forget that
the cremalioners can retaliate with the next classe
from the Burial Service—" Ashes to whet" The last
word probably remains with the public who pay the
bills in either case, and they may say "Dust to dust"
The cremation question haa made no way in this
country, but in Italy one has been opened in Milan;
and now it is said preparations are made for setting
up ovens in Paris. It will be some time before popular
prejudice is overcome in this country, an I it becomes

two farm labourer, of Leigh. were summoned by the
Guardians of the Screrbonre Union for refusing to con-
tribute towards the maintenance of their parents, who
are in rixeipt of out-door relief—Mr. Gray, the relieving
officer, said as defendants were two able-bodied single
young men, he mw nothing in the way of their contribute
ing.—lt appeared that defendants lived with their parents
and each paid Si. a wesk for his lodging and food : but as
times had been so bad with them they pleaded inability
to pay at present, at any rate anything beyond the 54. fur

At last the bridge difficulty is in a fair way of solu-
tion in Inmdon. The Peers have consideml in com-
mittee and reported favourably on the Metropolis
Toll Bririge. Bill. The effect of thin will be the
freeing within a few months at farthest of Waterloo
and Chelsea Bridges, together with the I not-bridges at
Cannon-street and Charing-croas. A 9 we are on the
subject of bridge, I may ado' that the Court of Com-
mon Council have resolvel upon tbe erection below
London Bridge of a low level bridge, with openings
for the passage of ships. Not only will this be con-
structed at little more than a third of the cost of a
high level bridge—it will cost only £150,000, against
I:2,000,000 for a high level—but it will he vastly more
convenient, as the gradienta will be light no small
consideration in connection with heavy traffic.

A WITNESS SI:MIIONFD. -A lad named Charge No-re,
living in Brionl-road, wa+ charged on a summons with An
assault on a little boy named Earnest Clothier, son of a
lalscorer, al.io living in Bristol-road.—Moore was called at
the last petty sessions as a witness for the defence at
another boy, who wa: charged with assaulting Clothier,
owl the Bench expreoefl an opinion that he was as had as
the defendant himself, and ordered him to be summoned.
Ili' mother now attended, and, saying her boy had
absconded three weeks once, asked the magistrate to tine
him in his absence.—No evidence was now taken, and the
magistrates declined to deal with the cage unless the
defendant himself appears. They therefore recom-
mended the mother to get her boy back home SA SOOn SS
she could, or a warrant would be jutted for his apprehen-
sion.

APPLICATION VOA EJECTNENT.—Mr. George Collis, of
Ryme Intrinsica, made an application for an order for the
riot MO it from a cottage of a labourer named William
Sims, or Ryine, —To go out in a fortnight.

Something like two years since a young artist
named Bell, who had up to that period done some
excellent work on the Ifingrate,' Lonlon Neves, went
out to Cuba on a sketching expedition. Re saw some
rough experience in that Island, and ultimately made
his way to New York. There he wrought in turns
for Harper's, Frank Leslie's, &rib wis, and Appleton's
Joornat. By and bye the Daily Graphic secured him
increasingly valuable services, he being enabled to do
some of the smartest things in illustrated journalism
that were done in connection with the presidential
election for that paper, lie was in Washington
during the whole of the election fever, and he also
represented the Graphic at Philadelphia daring the
exhibition. Well, Mr. Bell for we should say
" X.Y.Z.," for that is his 'lnn de phonic), two days
I after he returned to London was sent out to Kars by
the Illustrated London Nora, Except Mr. Villiers,
who is out for the London Graphic, Mr. Bell is un-
doubtedly the most svcompli-hed draughtsman that
ham gone out to the seat of war.

The exodus of actors hag fairly set in. Mr. Charles
Wyndham, who has turned over his part in "The
pink Domino s" at the Crdurion to his " under-etudy "
began his country campaign with that wondrously
successful comedy on Monday. Mr. Maltby, as I
foredicted, is the Tii(4/ of the iviece. The Cocci
Company has gone to Liverp,..l. There is a prospect
of the Strand " combination ' breaking up into (Ara

" Nemesis" and " Trial by Jury," will give the

felt of the crowd will in all prolpablilty keep the

I cannot say. The remote future of the House, about
which not a word has been published in any of the
journals, in interesting. The real autumn season will
I open with a new comedy by Mr. Burnand and a new
operabouffe by Mr. Farnie. Amongst the fresh
enfagementa are Miss Clermont (of the Criterioe) and
Mem Canefie lluboie. It is intended by Mr. Swan-
borriuszh to spare neither trouble nor expense to revive
the burlesque glories of the merry little house.

There in quite a cloud of American actors in town
just now, and from them we hear what we term
" items" of news. One is to the effect that Mr.
Sothern will return to London next year, all being
well, for •16 • eekie engagement at the ' Haymarket.
He will on the conclusion of that fulfil biv long
pending engagement (abut which there was at one
time a prospect of litigation) at the Antitsoles. The
next change
