THE ANNIVMART of the Congregational Sunday
School will take place on Sunday next. The Rev.
F. A. Wannington (net P. W. Warrington as our
contemporary continues to represent), the new paator,
will preach in the morning and evening. We may
certainly promise moue good musical services by the
children, under the tried and aide conductorship of
Mr. It. Brown. In the afternoon the
_popular oenice
of song "Elijah" will be rendered. The annual treat
(weather permitting) will be held at Studland, on
Wednesday, the 30th instant, when arrangements have
been made for omnilnueno and other vehicle,, to run
all the way at the low fare of antpence. Showery but
fair weather may be expected. We hope the foul part
will come down in the dark., and the fair show forth
its beauty by daylight. We may add that the
deprooions are I. uneven, and the cable-reports eo
uncertain from the other side the Herring Pond, that
too much dependence t not be plaoWv in our

WINTIIONTICR ABM liliN-not yet received anything
in memory of the Prince. We know we are sometimes
alone in our viewg of things in gencial ; we are glad
now to nee a. many voices crying shame in the Dad,

pelled by the outcry to turn 'aluedal pleader." The

word to be spoken, so tally had the public become over
the Royal grief. Time will prove the princely idea

down like a stick." Money and rank .10 not always
have their own sweet wills in this island of " justice-
and-equality " morabi. The attempt is making room
for essays agaima the "dead." We can say little for
the taste therein disidayred. It is imfficient to grove
him below the standard of the other heroes, without
prying into his motives for going to Africa, or daubing
him with the shame of his ancestry.

the bottom ,d the objection& as we should expect.
Ile takes up this "unfitness." and shows (to his own
satisfaction) that this does not apply to princes; we
take them into "the Temple of Silence and Recon-
ciliation" anyhow—glad perhaps that at last they
have come so far for their country's good. Louis
Napoleon's claim to a place with them is based on his
"historic name," his 'tragic" death, and the fact that
he feU "fighting under the British flag." The Broad
Church doctor then distinguishes between honour and
honour. The memoria/ is not to be erected in the
Abbey Church, properly so called, but in the Royal
Mausoleum appended to it, and the question of doing
so is subject to the approval of Her Majesty in whose
(mark this well is ieliose) Royal Chapel of King Henry
VII. the statue was intended to be placed. "The
A Mx, Merck is retained for eminent Englishmen"; the
Royal Chapel for "landmarks .4 English and European
History," and such &landmark they consider Louis to
have been. We hope the French Republicans will be
quite satisfied that we intend no honour to their ex-
Prince ; but that we make him serve us as& rememl mincer
of the fame and shame connected with the posterity of
thc Corsican lawyer and the French nation. But this
appendage to the Abbey Church, owned by the Queen,
though under one nsodtree, makes us feel queer. We
paid part of a sixpence once in our lives to be hurried
through it, and we were introduced to John B. Gough
at the very spot at another flume; hut although the
Dean escorted its once, and afterwards a dear old
foesil warden, neither acquaint.' us with the fact
that this was not national but private property, BO
that we feel Ever since reading the I...writ is
we have been using all our known rule,, of mental
arithmetic in calculating what percentage of that
sixpensw went to her Nt—t. I:recto's Majesty. Out of
this attempt—not to calculate, but to raise • memorial
—some good must surely come. Those who are able
to judge will have to settle the question now mimed an to
ownership. The Royal Chapel, is it the Queen's or is
It ours? Excuse us if we italicise two words in •

the whole matter. "It was thouFht that such an
