She observation of country beaks. These circumstanced
required the utmost consideration and ears on the pert of
the Whale Board and the Executive. The question of
limitation of liability had been carefully considered, but
without wishing to pledge themselves one way or the
other. it seemed dedrable that this Bank should not be
ginger to come under the provisions of the recent Act. The
Bank had 'prospered so thoroughly as an unlimited inetitu-
Moo, and had enjoyed so long the entire confidence of the
public. that they could safely wait for the practical lessons
to be learnt from the experience of others before taking so
serious and Irreversible a step am that of amazing the
eanititastion of the company. The directors and the

it relieved the Executive from responsibility or care; and
In reference thereti hr. Squarey, another direct it, pointed
out it was most satisfactory for the directors themselves,
as well as the public, that they should have an impartial
statement verifying the soundness and excellence of their,
Institution, and that this should be done by a firm who
stood second to none in reputation in the monetary world.

Banking Act then ensued. Some shareholders in
favour of limitation of liability gave very fully the
views they held, which they considered made it desirable
that the Act should be accepted by this company. On the
other hand, several large shareholders expressed their
belief that the present Act was • hasty one—that they
would rather benefit by the experience of others than rush
into an experiment—and that it would therefore be wiser
to welt for • time, at any rate until all other banks in the

they could well afford to defer taking any action, anti leave

" Asleep is lesus—bleued sleep
From which none ever wake to weep."
Perhaps never was it so truly said that the gain of the,
dying believer is the loss of those whom he leaves
behind, as in the case of the late venerable Vicar of the
great parish of St. George's, Vordington. This large',
district, almost entirely surrounding the town of Dor-
chester, with its far more manageable and generally
more wealthy parishes, was, half • century ago, suffer- ,
ing not only from the evils of those bad old times, butl
also from the very magnitude of the area over which
the min' istrations of the clergymen had to be diffused,
and also, as now, from the fact of being morally as wril
as literally and physically, the East End of a consider •
able garrison town, and the refuge of many who had
fallen into criminal degradation, as well as of awn
whose poverty weighed deeply against them in the
struggle for uprightness and rectitude. It was, indeed,
a God-send for the parish. as well as for the town of
Dorchester, when in 1829 the Rev. Henry Monis
was presented to the living, and still more so
when, in the autumn of that year, he went into
residence there. The year 1829 was remarkable for the
carrying of the Catholic Relief Bill, after a most deter-
•maned opposition in the House of Lords, led by the
two archbishops and the bishopsof London, Durham,
and Salisbury, and that might of itself suffice to give
an idea of the position of matters in Church and State;
but it must also be remembered that on the Dark
Ages of a few years previously had 13 oken the dawn
in the formation of several societies having for theie
object the spread of the Gospel, at home and abroad,
and in the great mission cause the then young Vicar
was deeply interested. Yet only the strongest faith
could have led him to anticipate, if he did, the blessed
Iposition attained by Foreign Missions, and still less
could he have expected the great honour that was to
be conferred upon him in having two of his sons able
and honoured pioneers of Christ's cause in a far off
land. Respecting the state of the parish of Forling-
ton as to order, that may be guessed from
considering that Mr. Peel in that year crewed
the metropolitan police, "the old parochial watch, as
corrupt as they were feeble, had become an absolute
street nuisance; and, so far from being 'a terror to
evil-doers,' their well-known inefficiency enabled the
midnight burglar and the daring footpad to pursue
their criminal vocations with impunity." It was in the
summer months of that year that the country was
'suffering from what is so greatly complained of now—
an unusual depression in trade—only than the depres-
sion extended to every branch, and the wages of the
/artisan had greatly fallen. So severe was this that
1 combinations for the destruction of property were rife,
and in the north and inland parts the workmen were
destitute of employment, and their families in Abject
-.nary. It was at the close of the reign of George
i", wherein profligacy was so fostered by patronage
n the highest quarters that it was the fashion to be
I. vile, and no small share of moral courage, or rather,
f true faith, was necessary to stand against the
abominable ialluences of the time. The Rev. Henry
!Joule was the very man for such a pariah as that
which belied to deal with, a man of sound scholar-
ship, of clear judgment, of strong will, he was a man
who did not fear the us clrge of baing narrow, remem-
'wring as he did, that" Strait is the gate and narrow
the way that les.deth unto life." Blessed with •
mud constitution, Mr. Motile presented an exampl
of that nuns sana in corpore *arse, which when it is,
joined to a will in accord with the great Will, can
laccomplish much even in circumstances all against it.
In the quaint words of George Herbert, such a man is

DEATH OF THE VICAR OF FORDINOTON.

an esteemed col respondent who knew him intimately.)

Aand

The late Vicar of Fordington was born January 17, IWI,
at Meagan), where his father, Mr. °sorsa Maui., had
been settled sa • solicitor and banker for some years. He
went in 1817 from Marlborough Grammar School to
Cambridge, where he took his degree in 1821. Three years
later he married Marl Mullett Evans, daughter of •
widow lady who had removed from London to Melksham.
Jost after his marriage he was ordained, and, alter serving
saccades Parades, was presented to the Vicarage of
Fordington. Mr. Moule, a young clergyman not quite 29.
found no easy task before him at Fordington. The place
bad been rapidly growing, and that just in the way to
develops all the evils of crowded and unhealthy habits-
Uses. Great disorder and much contempt of religion pro-
veiled; and whin once the new Vicar was found to be
what wee called in those dap • " Methodist," that is a
preacher of the distinctive doctrines of the Gospel ss
well as of general moral duty, be soon had •
great deal to bear in the way of petty opposition and
curiesionainsult. Regular and earnest attendants at his
church not tinfrequently had to run the gauntlet of cane
rudeness from careless groups at the churchyard gate ; and
moms of his family can still remember the last lingering
relics of certain cries with which the " sheep" and "lambs"
of the zealous shepherd of souls were wont to be followed
in street and Said, Bat there was • band of devoted
Christians working among the poor already when be
coons; and these admirable friends, now all gone to rest,
gathered round the new vicar and held up his hands.
And. by God's grace, those hands were feud to be strong
mid resolute. The mere quantity of work to be done was
very large: for very shortly after his arrival Mr. Monte
undertook the military chaplaiacy, and found near the
berroska a large new quarter springing up—the present
"West Fordington." Schools there had been none in the
whale pariah, and few indeed of the ordinary appliances of
religion beyond the two services (with one sermon) if each

of his very dear wife, who was nearly of the IMMO

iFordingtoo, whose happiness she had sought, in 1977.
a loss no doubt led him to expect the end so
,orsg delayed, yet did Mr. bloule's energy not desert
him. • His beloved son, the Rev. Handley Cl. G.
Mottle, had for a considerable time, from filial affec-
tion, relieved him of the burden of the parish, officia-
ting in the name of curate, though he had already won
a very high position for himself at the university.
Thus relieved, the venerable Vicar was yet able to
continue his works spiritually and temporally, and
his old spirit was displayed in a clear exposure to the
Town Council of Dorchester of the ill effects
resulting from the selfish practice of sending all the
town refuse into Fordington. But riper years, or
perhaps gentle counsel unknown to the world, robbed
this last pamphlet of much of the unsparing keenness
Mr. Moule's writings used to display, yet most it
be listened to, in time not very remote. More lately,
the Vicar wrote "What is the Lord's purpose in
giving me such renewed strength, and yet almost
confining me to the house? I wait upon Him to
leant." Another fulfilment was coming—of that
promise which we have already quoted—" If any man
will do His will, he shall know." On Sunday fortnight
he preached with power in the afternoon from the two
last verses of Genesis 1, and in the evening he took the
whole of the service, being apparently in good health.
At a meeting in the schoolroom, in behalf of the
Hangchow fund, his two sons were present, and stated
that their father would willingly have been there but
for the severe weather. But soon after bronchitis
attacked him, and complicated by other symptoms,
amused much alarm. Mr. Good attended him, and the
Illness rather lessened by Sunday' but as that day
drew to a close the Vicar's health became worse, the
prayers of the congretation were sought for him,
members of his family were called to the bedside and
those at a distant were telegraphed for. Dr. bedside,
kindly lent his advice, though he had so long ceased
,medical practice. All Monday night Mr. Mouleti=n

family, and the Rev. A. IL Mottle arriving soon after
his beloved father had departed, learnt how true was
his own prophecy
And then beneath Heaven's trees,
Under Life's vine and fig-tree ever blooming.
Without all fear of foe or trouble coming.
His soul shall dwell at ease.'
