THE HISSING HALL o.—Up to a lat. date the
great and p.rsistent effort./ to find the miming balloon
and the b 4, of Mr. Powell. M.P., had not been
so cessful. Grappling and sweeping have both been
tried, and nearly thirty square miles of the West Bay's
bottom have thus been scraped; but it Is very rocky at
some distance from the shore, and if the balloon is
there, the exact plsce has not yet bean tut upon.
-yetematicop-Tati .ns have been anspended ; but a very
keen loolc-,ut is kept over the waters and tbe shores.
Almost the smallest anumal thing is br night in, for
Instance an old helmet and • belt, which were taken to
the Receiver of Wreck, but found to have no connec-
tion at all with the missing balloon.

over by the pastor, supported by Revs. J. Trafford,
W. R. Waugh, and J. S. Butcher. The choir sang
I with good taste and effect Christmas an I other
anthems. The weather wee mild and fin.; and the
annual meeting of the Hope Chapel congregation,
though not so large se that of some f miner year', use
one of the most pleasant and successful.
New YEAS Seericett.—hfoet of the places of
worship had wha.. are called watchnight services on
the last night of the Old Year, and, the weather b. leg
mild, we should hope the keeping of such late h. net
was not hurtful t the weak, a. when December la
bitterly cold. The services were largely attended,
and appear to have been much appreciated. Extra
prudent people commend the special service held at
one place, where nine o'clock was the hour. It bad
been intended to absorb the early prayer meeting held
at Hope Chapel from time immemorial, into the
fashionable " watchnight ;" but most of the friends
gathered, and the old custom was maintained The
special week of prayer at the comm•ncement of the
year is going on, all denominations meeticg at St.
Mary's National Schools, under the presidency of
various ministers, and the first might was concluded
with a collection, Instead of that being left till later
on, when the interest may have declined.
