File—On Wedneeday morniog. about 5 o'clock, the
tradesmen and Inhabitante of tbe town residing in
Salisbury-street, were alarmed by • fire breaking out in
• store belonging to Mr. H. Darden. grocer and tee
dealer. The fire was first disaavered by one of M. W.
Groves's amistanta, and by • young man in the employ
of Mr. Wyatt, who saw • volatile of smoke issuing
from the building. They immediately gave an elarm,
and within the short spume of half an hour the whole of
the fire-brigade with their engine were on the spot. It
was then found that the *outcast+ of the store, which
partly consisted of loader matches, were on sre,
and the flames speedily broke through the roof.
Fortunately there way no wind, or the oonsequenei a
might have been fearful; as we understand that in •

raged, • quantity of gunpowder was placed, and, in
addition, the place wee serrounded by buildings where
inflammable goods are kept. The firemen and several
of the inhabitants worked with a will, and an egoellent
supply of water wee brought from the river by the two
water-carts used for watering the roads, and from
pump. in the adjacent ystcle. The Sr. was provi-
dentally oonfined to the building in which it broke out,
and was got under by seven o'clock. Both engines
were well worked. The origin of the Sr. is a mystery,
the only probable conjecture being that by some means
the matches became ignited.

,
Mr. Cbamen, of the Q.0.R.Y.C., responded.
The Chairman then gave "Th. Bishop and Clergy of
the Diocese," and wild that the oely thing he would
remark ia connection with the toast was that the

Protestantism of the Reformation, whieb was supported
by the Bishops arid Clergy of the Church, was the greet
bulwark of their liberties, and was that which they must
take °Tuba care of if they wished to preserve their
freedom, influence, and liberty - (Lout applause). He had
great pleasure in calling upon Mr. Farquharson to
respond— (cheers).
The Rev. R. Farquharson said: Mr. Chairman and
gentlemen, in the name of the Bishop and clergy alba
diooese I return you my best thanks for the great
kindnese with which you have received the touts of
their health'. I can "more you there is no class of men
wheat ',higher value on the approbation of their fellow
men than the clergy. It is with peculiar pleasure I rise
to thank you, because I feel very deeply more and more,
U time progresees, that if we have not the sympathy
and approbation of the laity our labour. may be in vain.
' It is to roe, sod! can answer for my friend. around me,
• very pleasing thing to find that the toast has been so
heartily received by the large body of men present,
because in this meeting I see reprosentai what I may
call the sinews, and marrow and strength of the oonetry;
, all that is great in industry, in activity, perstei ranee,
and labour. I trust that as time goes on we shall learn
more fully to appreciate each other, and clergy and
people be more united than they have hitherto been,
1 sod I certainly see no reason why it should not be so—
, (cheer.). At present we do not seem fully to under.
"tend one another, but we shall get wiser in time, and
of this lam sure that I speak the feelings of my brother
clergyman as wall as my own when I say that alienation
shall not come through us. Whatever enemies we may
have to meet, we must work heart and band together.
'agree with the remark" mode by our chairman when he
proposed the toast, that Protestantism is the great
strength of this country, and that it has made the
English nation what it i.—(cheers). And when I speak
of Protestantism I speak of it as giving to the people an
open Bible, and nothing more than that—(cheers). We
cannot de without the Bible, and any man,
I care not whoever he may be, who would
shut up the Bible, is an enemy to the peace
and bappineu, and highest welfare of this doontry—
(loud and long continued cheering). I hope you will
excuse me if I speak in • rather incited way on this
question, but I feel very strongly on it, and I join in
the hope expressed by my friends around me that the
clergy and laity of the Church if England will be knit
together by • greater bond of unity, and that church
prove herself to be the church of the people, gathering
around her both the educated and uneducated mu/a,
of the people—(cheers). From what I have said I hope
you will not think I mean to eat what is called "humble
pie," for lam sure there are among the clergy men of
intelligeeos and ability ready and able to take the lad.
I know mary who have no laboured as that their lives
are not now worth • year's parcheve. I trust that the
bond of unity which knits together the clergy and people
will be strengthened, and I again sincerely thank you
for the kind manner in width you have received the
toast--(lond applause).
The Rev. J. R. Quirk, who was received with loud
sheers, said My fritnia—l have been repeated by
your chairman to propose • toast. and it is one whim&
I feel great pleunre in giving. lam sure no one could
, have witnemed the sight of today—so many members
of benefit societies parading our street., and their
conduct in God's house—without some feelings of pride
and admiration. I haat before witnessed so many 1
olobonen worshipping in the temple of Jehovah, and
joining in the beautiful scriptural services of our church
u I have seen today. The toast I have to propme is
set down on the list as "Amore to the Amalgamated
Friendly Societies." After searching through two or
three dictionaries I turned to oh i Barclay, who says
that the word amalgamated means "to merry quick-
silver to acme other chemical property." After con-
" Miring the subject, I thought how *lever it it of Mr.
James to amalgamate five societies into one, or, to
speak more correctly, to infuse quicksilver Into five
snob tie., and by bringing so many together thus to make
them all friends —(lond laughter, and cheers). There
was once. man who took • wife rather late in life, and
they could not get on very well towhee. After some
time the man took his wife into • barn, and, throwing a
rope over a beast, said to her, "You pull that end and
I'll pull this." They pulled as ay but pined nothing.
"Now," said the husband, "some this aide," and of
arum the rope soon fell—(laughter). The man applied
the lesson by exclaiming, " Now, Judy, we must pull
together" —Good laughter). Applying this story to the
occasion. I would remind you of what Mr. Percy said
in his excellent sermon this morning —unity is strength. ,
If you do not pull together in these amalgamated
soeieties—if you do not get the quicksilver into them,
and, being married, not have such a festival every three
years, you will aware Hy come to grief. It bad been said
that when people married after a time they were sure
t disagree—that this was part of human nature, but
I cannot see why it should be so. Some time ago a
couple I married came to Blandford, and the husband
thanked me for giving biro such • good wife, and the
wife for giving her inch • good husband. The
amalgamated societies should live on the mune peaceful
term", all pulling together, and I am sure if they do
they will mewed. The rev, gentleman then gave •
somewhat amusing anecdote of • couple in Scotland,
who, having quarrelled, celled on the minister to with,
matters between them. Passing through the house the
minister saw • oat and dog lying very comfortable
together before the fire, and pointed out to the woman
that even animals of opposite natures were to be found
living on friendly terms, urging her to be reconciled to
her husband. "Stop, sir," said the woman, "lie all
very well to say they agree, but just tie their tails
together and me bow they'll agree then "—(loud
laughter). I trust, said the rev, gentleman, that as
this is the
It is the treggining of • lasting spirit of unity, and that
you will not allow any envious feeling or anything of
the kind to sever you. You have all one object in view
—to secure for yourselves benefit in sickness, and some-
thing to assist your widows and orphans when you are
removed from earth. I suppose, as the Blandferd
Friendly Society im the oldest in the town, it must be
regarded es the husband, and although polygamy cannot
be countenanced, I trust the bridegroom will treat his
four wives with every attention and respect, and that
at the end of another three years the husband and his
four wives well again be brought together, having
• lot of children as members —(lood chum).
The toast sruarst acknowledged by W. H. Atkinson.
Esq., the deputy grand-rueler of the Poole diets*. of
Orldfellows, who said that as Mr. Quirk had given them
his experience of marrying, as he was the registrar for
the district he would give his. One day after • couple
had been united, the woman ameba.* and said, "Sir,
do you remember marrying Ito monad so." He replied
"Yes," "Please, sir, I wmitsto know if you east on.
marry L"—He replied he auld not not—(laughter).
He trusted this would not be the experience and feeling
of any present with reepect to their amalgamation, as
he from the first had been in favour of having us united
demonstration rather than smaller gatherings of the
various societies, which sometime, proved failure*.
The result of their plan '.ad more than exceeded their
anticipations, for it WU a put itimm and tended to
the benefit not merely to one society but the whole—
(hear). For many years put he had taken great interest
in sueh societies, and a favourable toast of his was
'• Universal brotherhood." All bed the same great
object in view, and instead of polling in opposition to
each other, and striving to injure one another. they
should ever keep in view the great aim of such societies
the welfare and benefit of their fellow-meu--Mr.
Atkinson concluded by proposing "The health of the
Chairmen," who with great kindness had consented to
preside, in the absence of Lord Ashley, who was unable
to be preunt—{loud apothem).
. . . . . . .

The. Chairmin in a leir—sni tasls remarks acknowledged
the compliment.' He cionaluded by proposing "Buenas to
all the Snieties."
Mr. Rolls, secretary to the Blsadford club, responded
on behalf of its members ; Mr. Wills for the United
Patriots and Building Operating ; Mr. Bartlett for the
Oddfellows ; and Mr. W. James for the Foresters ; all
expensing themselves es highly gratified with the moms
of the amalgemated fete.
The health of Mr. Quirk having been proposed in very
Bettering terms by the Chairman, that gentleman bore
testimony to the great help and eneourageinent b.
received from the choir, the Sabbath-school teachers,
and district visitors, and also by the large number of
communicants. Ftc concluded by proposing "The neelth
of the Rev. W. C. Percy,, with thanks for his admirable
Nitl3oll.

Mr. Percy expressed very great pleuttre in gun
visiting hie old friends at Blandford, and also seeing so
large inumber of those he was acquainted with present.
He would be most happy if in any way be
crauld serve them, and trusted they would all live
happily together. This was to him a red letter day,
and one he should always remember with recline a
unalloyed pleatere—(obeers).
"The Medical Onions" was then proposed and se.
knowledired by Mri 0. K. Spooner and Mr. Rut..
"Th. Mayor and Corporatioo" followed, acknowledged
by Mr. Spioce Abbott and Mr. James Bell."
The eoeolecting toasts were "Th. County bletobere,"
"Mx. G. Look owl Mx. a. Itycs," "Th. ()nisi* end
