days when the clergy of all Christian daeominatioos
display such real and sarsostness in the discharge of

which is to come. Without religion, society would
speedily become disorganised, and fall into • state of
anarchy and chaos.
Mr. Churchwarden fa. 8. MILLIE*. was called upon
energetically, and only regretted that some member
of the Church or minister was not present. The claw

they take a more lively interest in such gatherings
than they used, in consequence of the societies moiling
in unlicensed houses, and in that they hal the
ympathy of all wellnishers of the community. (lithr,

Dr. SIMMS proposed " The Army, Navy, and

Mr. AyLVBEWIT propped "The health of the Borough

under 20 or 30 different corporations, he generally
found the burgesses are severs on the corporation if
they increased the rates, but he should not grudge •
Uttle extra for lisht and improvements, and the rate-
payers ought to be extremely forbearing in judging the

The MATO' said his voice had been rased in behalf

societies would be carried to the present results. Thoth
present ought to spend • happy manta:or they

forward to evils, and if he sees them Gouges closer
and closer and cannot avoid them. he CHALOCH be
happy; but Foresters have provided against the evil
day. Everyone who haa the w•Uar• of his country at
heart, however cheerfully he may pay for the army and
navy, ought to heel still prouder to pay tows
friendly societies. For the working people have made
England's glory, and when provision for distils" and
