BRIDPORT SUCTION.
To the Editor.

Mr. S. Stembridge, of South-street, on Good Friday
evening, had occasion to be looking over some old pajora,
when he came acrom the Illwfrated Police Yong of Feb.
Sth, and he there saw a paragraph which seemed to throw
some light on the strange proeceilimp of Mr. Norfolk. He
took the paper to the Working Mon'* Institute, where •
goodly company of niesulers were msembled, and one of
them road out the paragraph as follows:
" A LussTic AT LAREI6. —A Central news correspondent
says that on Monday Mr. William John Frederick Norfolk,
recently of Peterborough, and now of Litton, Beds.,
publicly announced himself as a candidate for the repro-
mentation of Stoke-upon-Trent, in oppcoition to Dr.
Kenealy. It seems, however, that Mr. Norfolk travelled
from Leicester to Luton without having taken the precau-
tion to pa,' his fare, and in consequence had to content
himself with the humble lodging ant board provided in •
lock-up in the town, instead of the best bedroom and the
suinptuous dinner he had ordered at the ;Lief hotel
besides which he hat to forego tlio prosecution
of the cauvaas of the boroogli. He WAS AUhAepiently
visited by Mr. It. Thi mon, the medical officer, and upon
that gentleman's certificate, the justices made an order for
Mr. htortolli's conveysnoe to the Three Counties Asylum
atAraley, ea a dangerous lunatic."
Mr. Norfolk stated in one of his speeches that he had
, stoat for Stoke-upon-Trent, and the coincidence, to say
the least, is somewhat singular.

MESSRS. MOODY AND SANKEY.
On Good Friday the noonday prayer meeting was held
at the Idoorgate-street Hall. Loncion, which was crowded.
The requests for prayer included one who was under the care
of a physician, and who expected to undergo an operation ;
two young women who were brought to grace the previous
night desired prayer to he kept tin the faith • for young
medical students who were brought to grace the previous
! night desired prayer to he kept in the faith • for • yon 4
medical student who was present last Sunday at the .teri.
cultural Hall, and others. An address was delivered
prevailing Prayer.
The Agricultural Hall was nearly filled at the afternooa
service The first
bruin sung was " Lord, I h,ar ot
showers of blessing, and after prayer, "1 h,.0-1 the
Saviour say, thy strength indeed is small.- Mr. M.
then read the 22p1 chapter of St. Matthew, and tom.
niented upon it, after which Mr. Sankey sang '' Jesus .4
Nazareth passeth by." the last line being taken tip and
joined in by the choir and the congregation. Mr. Moody
then took for his text the words " What think ye of
Christ r in the course of his remarks saying that for
1,800 years infidels and unbelievers had been trying to
pick holes in the story of Christ and the Redemption, and
the consequence was that at the present time more was
thought shout Him than ever had been at any time ot the
world's history. He called upon all who believed that
Christ was the Son of God to come forward and declare
themselves, and contended it would be • happy day for
Christianity when the line was drawn, and the men who
were for 'hrist and those who were against had declared
themselves, as then they would know what they were
doing. He concluded a powerful address by an appeal to
the ungodly to think well of and to receive Christ. The
service was concluded by the hymn, commencing—
oh Christ, what buniens bowel Thy haul,
our lowl was laid Theo.

The attendance at the evening meeting was very large.
Not'only the Pt, taltichairs w ere taken possession of , but ev eaT
availab.e place occupied, and thousands had to be denied
admission& On the platfo were the Berl of Shaftesbury
and a large number of clergymen and dissenting minister&
The first hymn was " Hock of ages cleft for me." Prayer
was (Assad an. after which Mr. Sankey sang with great
pathos the hymn--
There were ninety and nine that stalely lay
lo the shelter of the fold
But one was out on the halls away,
Far off from the Kates of gold—
Ass ay MI the mountain slid anal bare—
Away from the tender shepherd's care.
Mr. Moody's address was on the words—" What is ("twist
to me r The service concluded with the singing of the
hymn, "Safe in the arm* of Jesus," and the Benediction.
The rooms set aside for religious inquiries were very
largely attended. The meeting was presided over by
Captain Morton, who related an account of his own con-
versation. He afterwards called on any present to relate
their experiences, and also tan pray earnestly for salvation.
Many young men related their cases, and stated that they
had formed branches in their warehouse of the Christian
Association for daily special prayer. Several powerful
prayers were offered up, during which one young man was
apparently so absorbed in prayer as to be lost to all else
around.
