DORCHESTER YOUNG MIN'S CHRISTIAX ASSOCIATION.
—A &idol meeting of this association was held in the
room in Durngate-street on Thursday evening last, the
16th inst., when after tea an address was delivered by
the Rev. 14- W. Pears, on "Christian union the nacos-
eery eoneequenee of Christian separation from the
world. The speaker showed that this separation was
not the effect, as was nasally asserted, of self-righteous-
acs, or spiritual vanity, or a love of singularity, but
that it was the necessary consequence of the Christian
CrlilltUalle)11 with • Holy God, to whom the world is •
etran.nar ; in support of which he quoted and explained
Exodus zxxiii.. 16, " Wherein shall it be known that
1 and Thy people have (*and grace in Toy night? Is
it not in that Thou Roost with us? So shall we be
separated. I and Thy people, trout all the people that
are upon the fuse of the earth." With regard to ehrii-
than unity, he showed front John evil., 21.), 23, that
that union must be one of holiness in life ; truth in
doctrine ; and love to Christ, and for his sake to all
mankind. That the division of the church was no
hindrance to that union ; but that such division made
Christian union the more necessary. That the church
had been so divided by God's permission; and He had
sanctioned the existence of the several churches by the
blessings he bad vouchsafed in equal proportions to
their several missions; that their association was most
beneficial ,to young men, giving them courage to resist
temptation, leading them in the paths of usefulness
and happiness; and by letters of recommendation to
similar associations in other towns supplying young men
wheel compelled to change their residence with sale and
profitable oomponions on their arrival in strange cities.
To carry out this work they must leave behiod them
sectarian feelings and objects. The man who thought
his own church perfect, °odd not act in union with
other Christians except with the secret object ot making
proselytes. Such persons, like the Jesuits of the
Chorale of Rome, were the disturbers of the church,
and such persons the Apostle tells us to avoid: The
room was as full as it would hold, and the address was
listened to with the greatest interest and attention.
After stinging a hymn, and giving the blessing the rev.
speaker left the room. The rest of the evening warn
oocupied with addresses from different members, inter.
opened with hymns, and after supper the members were
dismissed with prayer,
A MAN Fungi) Dzsp.—On Thursday last, Hi Look,
Esq., deputy coroner, held an inquest at Kingston,
touching the death of George Singleton, a tramp.
Stephen Bolls, labourer, employed by Mr. T. Look,
said that about seven o'clock on Wednesday morning
he found deceased lying under a tree on the Horne
aweless.: He was dead and stiff. Supt. Hare being
informed saw the body. The man's coat and waistcoat
were off, and his trousers about his heels, and he was
of opinion deceased had taken off his clothes to ismer
himself during sleep. On him was foundsonie letters and
• vagrant ticket of admimion to Dorchester Union. Of
Wine the timt had not been used. It was given
him about six o'clock on the evening of the 13th, and
witness could not hear that anyone saw him afterwards.
Deceased's clothes were very wet, and from an exami-
nation of the ground, witness concluded he died with-
out • struggle. P.C. Chttrohill, of the borough police,
identified the body as that of • man, who gave the
name of John Dixon, whom he saw out of the town on
Tuesday, by order of the borough magistrates. Mr.
John Good, surgeon to the Ddreet County Gaol, who
was called to examine the body, fancied he bed soon
the man in gaol, and, on making inquiry, found that
Coorge Singleton was committed from Wimborne, O.A.
Di. On his reception the doctor examined him, and,
finding he was suffering from partial paralysis, excused
him from all labour, and he was placed in the naiad°.
meanoar ward. On the 31,1 October he was suffering
from great debility and boils on his beck, and he had
him removed to the prison infirmary,where he remained
till he left the gaol on the 6th of November. On leaving
he had bread and cheese given him and 1&, and he hod
"emu broad tickets given him by the County Constabu-
lary. Witness identified the body as being that of
George Singleton. He had examined it, and there
were no marks of violent*. Knowing that the man
was suffering from disease, there was co doubt he died
from natural causes. There were the mares of boils
upon his back. In the prison they considered him to
be respectably connected, and he had had a superior
education. The jury retnrced • verdict In sooordmoe
with the medical testimony. It seems that his friends
lire at Kettering, in Northomptonshire, and it is said
he was entitled to £7O) on the death of hie mother,
who, Lowey's, survives him. Evidently he had adopted
a vagrant life to the grief of his friends, and the letters
on him indicated that he had written to his mother
fur money, that one of his sisters was ,married, and
another, who wrote to him, addressed him in the
kindest terms, putting It to him that his affliction
(partial paralysis) was souk for a good purpose, and
urging him to look to the end. The executors to his
mother's will have SWIM been to identify Me body, mid
the poor waif had • parish funeral on Illonday.
