read by the Rev. 11. Everett, Rector of Holy Inuits.. who
also wax the preacher. The ',salute uleeted were 1:11, 134,
and 135. They were rhanteet, and the choir sang the
anthem " Behold how cowl and joyful." These were the
words selected by the preacher or bin text, and the rev.
gentleman eloquently enforced its lessons in them applice-
tent to the members of the societies before him. In
conduit:o he wished them and their societies God speed'
and said let them never forget that any effort on their part
made with an honest tive for the glory of God or the
good, of their neighbour was never lost in his eight At
the request of the managers of the demonstration there
was an offertory on behalf of the building fund of Holy
Trinity church, and about Li was contributed.
After service the procession was reformed, and paraded
some of the streets, after which the members returned to

which was completely filled. Mr. W. E. Bryinee M.P.,

maintained the high position assigned to her, and he
believed her sons would "till preserve that honourable

had been turned into walls of iron, he believed the navy

Captain Bitterer responded on behalf of the Dorset
Militia. If they treated the militia right, old England
neest never look to any other branch of the service to save
her from her fees -(laughter and applause).
Lieut. Homes, of the 3rd 1). V., also replied. He
remarked that many of the rifle corps were Foresters or
ehlfellows, and the re they had of them the better.
From what Capt. Burnett had said it wmild seem that the
militia were in such an ll•tlirient state that the ',lantern
were 'warmly wanted --(laughter); but when the militia
had to euccuml, to a foreign foe-(latighter)-England

his gratification that all these societies began their

reverence for religion awl their desire to have the highest

service WAS very largely attenllled, and felt sure they would
be pleased to drink the health of Mr. Everett, who
preached to them, as chaplain of the Bud-of-Hope lodge-

i he Rev. 11. ItiF.RICTT returned thanks for the very kind
I way in which they received the toast, doing so with the
greatest pleasure, because on occasions of this sort not
only did be feel that they met on a common platform to
advocate and be hoped extend the benetite and influence
of such excellent societies. but also they felt-at any rate
be did as a member and the chaplain of one of the
lodges-that ittany of them were bound together by the
bonds of a visible brotherhood, ; therefore, it was, that
overcoming .the natural dislike which, most of them
had to making after-dinner speeches, and that unfortu-
nate shynese and diffidence which had ever stood
In his light - (laughter)-he ventured on that occasion to
express the big.. opinion he had of these societies
generally. At the sante time as he had had an °ppm,
tunity of speaking to them in the morning his remarks
now shoal be few and he would leave to others to enlarge
on the objects and 'tuition of the societies. But he could
not help taking the present opportunity of urging upon
working men the advantage of joining these societies
to promote their independence. lb not let them
associate themselves with clubs that break up, but
with such societies as the Oddfellows anti Foresters,
which, he believed, were perfectly sound and stable. At
the tame time he warned them against joining in strikes,
which, he said, were very likely to fail ; or taking part in
public meetings to urge the giving of four acres ef 'land a
piece to every man, or any such absurd proposal
-Meat, heart But it was true wiedoin to become
members of these Friendly Societies which enabled
them to provide for times of sickness and death-

themselves to the approval of every one, but let them

make extravagant promises or foster delusive hopee. It
was • very pleasant sight to see se many juveniles belong-
ing to the order in the procession. Having enrolled them
now, they would in future years become staunch eupportere
of their lodges. He believed that the clergy as a body did
their best to knit together the various classes of society.
They were not generally no rich that they could do much
in support of these societies, or so poor that they needed
their benefits, but they saw and could urge on all classes
the great benefits that must accrue to the whole com-
munity by the spread of such rocietiee as those under
whose auspices they were assembled. Ile again thanked
them for their kind reception of the toast -(applause).

but he thought that when the end of the seution arrived
it would be found they had got through a fair share of
legislation. Many of them had beeu occupied early and
late. On one occasion he went to the House at 12 in the
middle of the day and did not leave till 3 .4i next
morning. The ossaion began with • good deal of per-
sonality between members, which wasted a good
deal of time, and then the Irish members kept the House
for five weeks getting through the Peace Preurvation
Bill. Besides that they had Dr. Kenealy-Ostighterl-

he did not anticipate that he would give them fnuch snore
