read by the Archdeacon and the second by the Rev.
Canon Lowndes. The Rev. H. L. no:upon,
Rector of Iron Acton, Whitehall, preached from

that is within ins bless His holy name." The
collection amounted to £37 ss. 41d.; the sum of
£l4 18e. 4lci. having been contributed at the morning
offertory. There was service in the evening when
rain set in, militating against a large attendance, but
101. was collected, making about no in all. The
Rev. W. Hubbard intoned the prayers, the Rev. R.
It. Watts reading the first lesson, and the Rev. Canon
Woodstock the second. The Rev. Preb. Ainslie MOAB
the preacher. On Thursday and Friday evenings

Rector of Peasernoor, being the preacher on the former
occasion. The work of restoration, which has been
well carried out, cost £3,000. They have had a new
roof, the north aisle and chancel have been rebuilt,
the south aisle lengthened, and the church resealed
throughout. Mr. T. H. Wyatt was the architect, and
Mr. A. H. Green, of Illawlford, the builder. The
restoration fund is still about £4OO deficient.

WHAT THE WORLD SAYS.

Great en:WV existe at Peak on account of Count
Andrew'. proposed retirement. Weak health is believed
merely to be put forward ass pretext, since his sojourn in
the Balakammiergut Is said to have completely restaged his
vigour. Both the Emperor and Primo Bismark ere used
to hags urged his retention of odic*, sod the approaching
journey of latter to Vienna is aeid to he undertaken
with this object. There can lie no doubt that to Count
Andressy is in a great measure °win the rupture between
Reeds and Germany. His withdrawal would entirely
remove from the oommou ministry of the empire rin
Hungarian element; and in Hungary it is much feared
that the pro-Havana inflnence known to exist in the
personal surroundings of the Egoperm may receive • great
Impulse from the absence of Count Andrasey.
