GRAND TEMPERANCE FETE AND GALA AT
WHITEN AYR PARR. CHRLYTCFIVRCII.

Whitehayi, situated about two miles from the town
of Christchurch, end onoe the favourite resort of the
poet Southey, woo on Tuesday, the 26th July, a scene of
gaiety end innocent enjoyment, the Committee of the
Chrbtehurch Temperance Society having, by the kind
permisrion of the noble owner, G. Niehobon, Req.,
secured it for holding their seventh festival. On the
previous evening • very sucemerfol concert wee held at
the Institution ROOM, Christehurch, at which the
oelebrated land of the Bents Fusilier Guards, under the
leadership of Mr. C. Godfrey, by their admirable per-
formanoes, enchanted the audience. The following
morning the friends of the cause were early on the
move, preparing for the festival, and about nine o'clock
various vans from the country ',filmes, bearing both
old and young, and ornamented with a profusion of
taunt and other boughs and fiewers,caune into the town,
their lining freight beingin high glee and cheeringlustily.
The juveniles belonging to the Bend of Hope were
arembled in the lecture hall of the Institute,
where they amused themselves by singing several
temperance melodies. Shortly after the time appoin-
ted, (hall-past 9), • procession was formed in the
High-street, haedsdi by the band of the Soots Fueilier
Gnarls, the oonimittee of the Christchurch Society
following; nett came the Whitchurch Temperance brass
hand, followed by the members of the Band of Hope,
two and two, carrying banners, on which were inscribed
various mottoes, all illustrative of the effects resulting
from tempera,,. ; to these socceeded • number of vehicles
of various descriptions. The procession, which was
more then a mile long, presented a eery pretty appear-
ance, proceeded through • part of the town,
towards the railway, and from thence through the
t. prineapal streets to Dario the bends alternately en-
&leg the line of mar y ptegleg several favourite
ma bag tunes Throng the sdonirabla aaningementi
made by the committee there was no ectsfosion, every-
thing being conducted in the most orderly manner. On
the arrival of the procession it the gates, the leading
bend halted on the lawn. in front of Mr. Whitebay's
mansion,a very nest modern building, from the verandah
of which were suspended habitats filled with a choice
variety of flowers, which had • very pleasant effect.
The park was admirably adapted for a fete of this kind,
and as soon as the party entered various 'ports
commenced, including quoits, leapieg, vaulting,
foot-ball, and archery. Croquet, Ls-grace, and
archery for the ledies and trap and foot-
ball, swings, air-balls, see-law, long and cross bow,
and other games for the juveniles. We might to
mention that forming • part of the mocessio• were
several of the members of the Thrice temperance
society, who attracted considerable notice by their
pletsresqe• dregs, being arrayed in the Garibaldi
emtame. An abundance of creature comforts were pro-
vided in the perk, all of that kind which, while they
strengthen the physical system. do not take away the
moral perceptions. During the day a match was played
between tbe Ringwood eleven, end eleven 'elected
I from the district for • emir of bombe° bats and a ball.
The ground unfortunstaly was far from favourable for
the game. The following is the more :

It will be seen from the above that the Ringwood
gentlemen beat tbeir opponents with four wickets to
Spare.
About half past five the children belonging to the Band
of Hope, about 1000 strong, were assembled together,
and sang several temperance melodies, which sounded
very sweet, and then partook of tea, which was supplied
to them gratis, soon Mter which rabbit speaking eons-
ineneed, the Rev. 8. Knell, of Throope acting as choir-
OAS. He drat expressed his very great satisfaction
with the order and praiseworthy madact of all precut,
and stated that the objets{ of the temperance society
was not merely to negate drunkards and rave others
from becoming such, bat to elevate the whole tone of
society by providing suitable and rational recreation for
the working Mums. He also expressod his owe grati-
tude, and that of the committee, to those gentlemen
who, year after year, had too kindly thrown
open their parks and pleasure groan& He re-
gretted the absence of a gentleman whom they would
all have been delighted to see, John Cassell, Keg,
whom absence was caused by M-healtis. They had,
bowevor, some frienda present to address them. His
then called upon

G. C. Caursitic, Esq., treasurer to the National
Temperance Lesgue, who in Ids usaal amusing and
talented meaner, briefly addressed the alchemic hfx.
Wombsll, after pointing out that both in Church and
State parties disagreed • that aewspapara were con-
tinually at war with es:oh other; and that in almost
everything opposition was encountered, said— in on.
thing Englishman were urianimous, and that was in
drinking. How they managed to get oo that day be
could not tell. He supposed they did the same as be
heard • man say be would do. He had been making
some bele, and when be Nand out be could not have
them in beer, be said he would go in for tea. HOW
many rope of tea be had heriould not say. Some people
seemed as dry as old Jenkins, who wee • great man at
bis club, and who always voted that every bet
or dispute should be settled by having in some
beer. When he died, en esteemed was he by his
boon companions, that they employed • first rate artist
to draw his portrait, which, when finished, was pared
for their inspection. The old man—one a( those con-
trary beings who will find fault—said that the portrait
was not like Jenkins, began to finger it about, when
the artist called oat not to do that as it was not dry,
when the old man replied, "Thai I know it's not
like Jenkins, for he was always dry." This Wing
always dry was what they, as teetotalers, had to contend
against. There was still a large mass of the people who
believed more in beer than in anything else. It was
such they wanted to convince. This thing was certain,
that there was Namely • family in the country not
injured by drink. He had never been isjared, for be
bad been a teetotaler 211 years, bat his family had,
and their aim was to eet man to do without it. The
moderation system bad been tried and it would not do;
but teetotalist° had sueorodod, and thousands of young
men, and young women too, bad bee* weed from
ruin by its adoption. The speaker then con-
trasted the behaviour 01 those presewt with •

r attain company at Laiesetser a short time since.
and asked what would be the effect if intexioating
drinks had been permitted to have been drank there.
Mr. Campbell then proceeded to advise Isis hearers to
take thingequietly—not to worry theinarlves —to abstain
Irons what would injure them, and thee they might en•
feet to reach • good old age. Ile then showed the
foolishness of prejudice, and of being tied to old customs,
illustrating it by an aneedote of some of the early
settlers in America, whose chapel, through holes in the
walls, was so cold they could hardly remain in it, and
which, by the msjority at a church meeting. it was
agreed should be warmed by stoves, the proposition bens
begrtily opposed by the old people, who were wedded
to what they had been used to, and who prophesied
f•intinp, and that the minister would not be able to
preach. The stoves were put in, suet soon after their
entrance, the old deacons began to *ten their laces, and
one and another old lady fainted, and the preacher give
in, when the old folks determined to have the stoves
d len, and to it they went; when I auJ nn fires
had been lighted. After...3,er.l other amusing anecdotes.
illustrative of the good achieved by the teinperance
reformstion, Mr. Campbell sat down amidst
loud cheering.—Mr. Banger, the Rev. Mr. Knell,
and other gentlemen then addre.sed the 'trembly, and
at Mr. Knell's suggestion hearty votes of thank were
given to O. Nicholson, Esq., for hi. kindnee in giving
up he park and grounds for the day's festivities.
During the afternoon a grand instrumental promenade
coneert was given by the splendid band of Use Soots
Fusilier Guard., and this, as our readers may well be.
hove, was time great attraction of the day, which
wan closed by u Eight of montgolfier belloons, which
was • signal to l.ve the grounds. Everything was
admirably coodneted, and es for as we can learn no
damage was done. Deter/len 3,000 Red 4,000 persons
were present.

ALARMING INCTOINT IN A RAILWAY CANIIAOL --Mr.
Thomas Beard, the well-known solicitor of Basio_ghall-
street. on Tuteday, the 26th ult., entered the balf-past
n no dela* train from Ferichurch-strest to Bursa:rook,
wile re he resides. At Stratford .11th, other passengers
in the compartment went out, and just as the trah was
again startine, P man entered and sat down nest to the
door. Mr. Heard being in the further and opposite

right band, close by his side, he held something about
two feet in length, about the thickness of an ordinary
ruler, or an iron bar ; it was emceed in leather, and
arheared to be thinner at one end than the other.
Whatever the article was, its owner kept it completely
behind Lim, and apparently his hand on it. " Let

reply. "What is the right timer he asked. Mr.
Besrl took Irons his wanteost pocket a gold lever
watel-, suspended by a gold ch.fe ; but at once the
extreme incintiousness of such an act struck him. He
suddenly replaced his watch, and looked up ; his ootn-
union had not risen, but was nearer by a foot, his
right hand atil behind him, owl his eyes fixed upon the
chain. Mr B. felt himself exceedingly unoonifortable.
"Strange thing, that murder of Mr. Briggs in the roil'
way carriage." "Yes, very." "Do you think there
was more than one in it, eh r "I can't say." "Any-
thing fresh to-day about it, eh r This afforded what,

ing to open the door of the carriage, if not to swing
from it, while his interrogator opened the sheets of the
journal. The msn, however, took up the newspaper
with his left hand, slid along the seat, his right band
being still behind his back, until he gradually faced his
travelling companion, threw the paper slows without
looking at it, and saying, '1 can't read—getting to

Tea Yuvgarox cAse.—The long and keenly-liti-
gated Yelverton marriage case has at last been
definitively sisttled by the court of ultimate resort, and
settled adverse to the lady's claim. After succeeding in
her plea indirectly in the Irish courts, and again more
directly in the Scoteh courts, she is finally defeated in
the House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor was in favour
of the marriage, and lA, he aid, was Lord Brougham,
who did not attend, however to support his opinion ;
but Lord Chelmsford, Lord Wensleydale, and Lord
Kinpdown, held that the frith ceremony was void, and
that nothing had passed in Scotland which by the law
of that country constituted either marriage or promise
of marriage. It was therefore judicially declared
that Theresa Longworth is not the wife of Major
Yelverton.

to the intent of 53/000. There wa, no doubt that the
ship sank, the crew being taken off by another vessel;

own statements to persica on board the ship that
rescued dom. But as dm vessel was foreign, the pri-
soner a foreigner, and the sinking of the ship took plde
