Alderman Aston. in proposing the first rear,-

which had been shown by that statesman in
taking the disestablishment of the Irish Church
as his rallying cry against the present, Govern-
ment. He ridiculed the idea of this tieing the
great grievance of the Irish people ; end nrged
the electors to support the Constitutional can-
didates at the coming election.
The resolution which was seconded by Mr. E.
T. Terry, and carried nnanitnonsly. was as fol-
lows :-" That a committee be immediately
formed, and an energetic canvass commenced
for seauring the return of Richard Paul Amph-
lett, Esq., Q.C., as one of the members for East
IN orcestershire at the coming election."
The resolution was ably supported by Mr. J.
Hoinfray and Mr. Wright.
The second resolution, as follows, wet moved
by Mr. J. Renaud, and seconded by Mr. Bassano.
and carried ;-" That such committee consist of
the gentlemen present, and others who have al-
ready consented to allow their names to be used,
or who may hereafter consent to d, so."
The Rev. It. Harper, M.A., tularei.sed the
meeting at some length in favour of Mr. Amph-
lett's candidature, and IV:ZS 1011,11 y applauded.
The meeting, which was throughout most en-

for an immediate aud active CAUVASS had been

Tier PI,MY ENTERSATNMF:NTR —The fortnightlY en•
tertainments were resumed on Howley night last. The
attendance was large. The programme anus well selec-
ted one, and nagged off well. Previous to the proceeding 4
the chairman read the following letter, which he had ,
' received from Archdeacon Hone :
" HalesoWen Heetory, October 19, 1866.
"My dear Sir.—You will, lam sure, allow me to ad-
dress hi you a few lines which may be read to the audi-
ence before business commenceg t,-night. I am in hope
I that my absence from these meetings will be attributed
I te the proper cause. My interest in them, and my wish
for their prosperity, are not diminished, and I hope that
after a time 1 May be able to take my port in them

again.
"Looking back through past years, i am desirous of 1
aeknlnt.edeinu that nearly all of those who attend these 1
1
entertainments are aameles of quietness and forbear-
ance, and that they suppuled the Chair when it has been
obliged to notice the bad behaviour 0: Ow :vs" youths
who have occasionally made acme little disturbance. I
trust that such may also may he the txperience of all
who from time to time oectipv the same chair.
" There is one point on which I feel some little tail:t.47 '
because it has occasionally made me ask myself the i
question whether I ought to continue to promote these
entertainments. Writers of homouroas prose and verse '
I are often betrayed into amusing themselves and their
readers in a way which is coarse, vulgar, indelicate, or
profane. I hope that throughout the session, which
commences to.day, all the reader., who give their kind
assistance, will use a considerate discretion, by avoiding
passages which offend in any of those respects, and
which wound religion or morality, or hurt that proper
refinement of mind which we all ought to cultivate in
ourselves and promote amongst others. I look upon
that class of readings, and I may add songs, as the rock
span which these entertainments may go to pieces. I
' know of no other as long as the inhabitants prove by
, their attendance that they are pleasant to them.
