THE REV H. Ri HAWEIS ON CHURCH

AND CHAPEL.

On Sunday night, at St. Bride's, Fleet-street,
London, a crowded congregation gathered to hear
the Rev. H. R. Haweis preach on church and chapel,
or on "Temples made with hands,* as the preacher's
awn announcement expressed it. The latter was a
palpable allusion to the City Temple, in which the
Bishop of London inhibited Mr. H9.weis to preach on
a late memorable occasion. The preacher took for
his text Acts vii., 48, and showed that the Church's
attitude towards Dissent had been utterly wrong in
the r.st. It was a policy of excision and exclusion,
whicn had resulted in the loss of her best life-blood.
It had cost her 2000 of her best clergy in
1662, who declined the Act of Uniformity.
Dien, too, she had lost her conscience.
rho same policy lost her the Wesleyans in
the 18th century, and with them the witness
for personal religion. The same policy lost her many
of the High Church party of the 19th century, and
that meant loss of reverence, loss of love of beauty,
loss of the keen sense of Church order. The next
attack was on the Broad Church section, and that was
going on now, and if they turned out the Church
would lose her intellect and love of truth; and with
her conscience, personal religion, reverence, love of
truth all gone, the preacher asked, what would be
left? Nothing but a dried-up mummy. In the old
days doctors bled for everything. The Church's policy
was no less mischievous. Her physicians to cure her
of heresy were bleeding her to death. A free pulpit
struck the keynote of a wider and wiser policy.
English Christian, Christians all the world over, must
draw nearer together. not go further asunder.

BRIERLEY lIILL LOCAL BOARD.

Mr. R. Thompson presided at the monthly meet-
ting of this Board, held at the Town Hall, on
:timidly night. The Medical Officer of Health
reported that the..death-rate for the past five weeks
was 15-60 per 1,000, with four deaths from zymot.c
disease, against 20-16 in the corresponding period
last year. The Sanitary and General Purpose
Committae had requested the Cemetery Commiitee
to wait on Messrs. Harwards, Shepherd, and Mills
(Colonel A.tkinson's solicitors) to obtain full par-
ticulars of a piece of land at Moor lane, belonging
to Colonel Atkinson, with a view to the proposed
cemetery,—The Cemetery Committee now reported
on the matter to a committee of the whole Board.
It was decided that plans and specifications be
prepared, together with au estimate of the coat of
the proposed alterations to the Town Hall,

FIFTY YEARS' IMPROVEMENTS.

A review of the sanitary improvements which have
been effected in this country during the reign of
Queen Victoria was a fitting text for Captain Douglas
Galton's address to Coe Society of Arts at the first
meeting of the present session, and the subject was
admirably treated by the lecturer. England has in-.
deed undergone a complete transformation during
this period. The England of to-day is widely different
from the England of fifty years ago; she has added
largely to her possessions, and her influence has been
felt in all parts of the world, but the improvements
that have taken place have been the greatest in the
social condition of the people. The abolition of the
window tax, the institution of civil registration of
births, marriages, and deaths, and the con-
stitution of the General Board of Health and its
successors, have contributed in an untold degree to
the happiness and prosperity of the nation. In
1837 it was calculated that one-tenth of the popula-
tion of Manchester and one-seventh of the population
of Liverpool lived in cellars. The window tax was a
cause of excluding the air and shutting out the sun;
but in 1851 there was a material advance. Gradually
the courts inhabited by the poorer classes in towns were
flagged and drained; means were provided for carrying
off the waste water which people formerly threw down
at their doors; the cleansing of streets and roads was
undertaken, and improved water-supplies were pro-
vided. Later, health officers were appointed to each
district, and its sanitary improvement seriously taken
in hand. Captain Galton referred in some detail to
the improved condition of the soldier, and remindei
his audience that the greatest of the triumphs which
had attended the Queen's reign was the saving of
millions of lives, and the avoidance of a vast amount
of physical suffering.—Lancet.

CHINESE RAILWAYS.

A Continental paper publishes the following letter
on Chinese railways from Pekin, dared at the com-
mencement of September: "An article in the Treaty
of Peace of July, 18E4.5, between France and China
provided that if the Chinese Government should
decide to construct railways it should accord a pre-
ference to French contractors for the requisite mate-
rial, although the Chinese were not to be bound by
this arrangement as if it were a contract. This
clause was generally interpreted to imply that
China was about to build railways, and the emis-
saries of the greatest firm! in the world hastened
to take the most advantage possible of the supposed
new departure in Chinese policy. Generej Wilson,
representing one of the largest railways in North
America, wls the first to arrive at Tientsin. General
Wilson, failing to conclude any definite
,arrangement
with Li Hung Chang, hastened to Pekin, where he, at
all events, obtained a passport for a tour in the valley
of the Upper floangho. He completed a certain
number of plans for which the Chinese Ministers
thanked him, but at the same time informed him that
they had no immediate intention of undertaking rail-
ways and other public works. General Wilson then
endeavoured to recover his expenses, but without any
result. After him came the agents of the German
Banks of Discount and of Berlin. All they obtained
was the contract for some thousand tons of rails
for the little railway between Tientsin and the
Peiho. One of these gentlemen 'still resides at
Tientsin, and has been intrusted with-the drawing
up of a report on the regulation of the
Hoanghe. After these came, in the present summer,
the French representatives, who brought out a railway,
rails, and trucks on the Decauville afetem. In order
to bring conviction to the mind of Li Hung Chang,
leave was asked to work this train through the streets
of Tientsin, but the only definite 'contracts given to
the French are smallones in connection with deepen-
• ing the harbour of Port Arthur--and the building of
two iron bridges across the Peiho. The English are
said, however, to have acted with better effect and
greater discrimination. A model railway, provided
by one of the chief English firms, supplies a permanent
source of amusement in the official residence of the
Taotai of Shanghai, and as a Comm has already been
rebuked for objecting to railways, as innovations, it is
deemed probable that Chinese obstruction is gradually,
but none the leis surely, giving way Were the pres-
sure of necessity."

CAPTURE OF A COINER.

At the Thames Police-court on Saturday Benjamin
Brett, 16. was charged with the üblawful possession
of counterfeit coin. Sergeant Joseph Marriott said
on Friday night he went to 47, Old Gravel-lane, St.
George's, where he forced open the bsck door of the
second floor and found the'prisoner seated in front of
the fire with a mould in his hand fur making two-
shilling pieces. He immediately threw it down and
broke it. On a little bench by the sie.a of the pri-
soner was a counterteit fiorin, which was warm, and
an iron spoon made into a ladle with liquid metal in
it. The prisoner said, "Good God, I am done! You
have got me straight, I will be satisfied if you will let
me know who has done this for me." When taken
to the police-station he attempted to knock his brains
out on the iron dock rails. He said, "It is life and
death with me, and I will have a go for it," and he
struggled desperately to get away. Mr. Saunders re•
mended the prisoner fur a week.

LYE.

DRAMATIC 3.—A performance of Dion Boucicault's
celebrated play in fi acts, entitled The Poor of New
Yo:lt, was given in the Tenaparance Hall, Lye, on
Mo.iday evening last, by thi members of the Stam-
ber Mill Amateur Dramatic Society, proceeds of
which are to ha devoted to the Stamber Mill Day
and. Sunday Schools, but in consequence of the
awfully rough night the attendance was not so
large as anticipated, therefore the balance to be
h .n led over to so good a cause, will come far below
expacta.tions. In every other respect the perform-
ance was a decided success, each member pourtraying
his part in such a manner as to call forth rapturous
marks of approbation, Mr. Harris was exceedingly
funny as Puifey. the potato seller, and caused much
laughter ; and Mrs. Puffey was admirably repre-
sent° I by that funny little comedian, Mr. G. Mat-
thews, whose make up s 'caned be to quite natural.
The si t:ng capabilities of Miss A. Elwell, and Mr.
E. Cartwrizht, of whom so much former
praise has bean bestowed, we find have not ia tle
least deteriorated, bat show great signs of improve-
ment Messrs. G. Edwards, C. Edwards 11. Brooks
A. White, and A. Shaw, were all prettywell at home
with the characters entrusted to their care ; but it
would be remiss on our part to draw this paragraph
to a close without conferring an encomium on Miss
A Skidmore, and Miss A.. Warrender who di4posed
of their parts in a trua artistic style. Several good
s deo ions of choice music were played by Mr. T.
Handy's orchestral band, and the members were
well ai p'auded tit e cielitable m nner in which
they were excuted. Great prgise is due to the hon.

A COOL AVOWAL OF BIGAMY.

At the West Bromwich Police-court on Saturday,
Alfred Bond, labourer, of 8, Beech-street, Birming-
ham, was charged on remand with obtaining 3s. by
false pretences from the Rev. H. Stowe, vicar of St.
Paul's, Smethwich, on the 24th tilt. Prisoner ob-
tained the money as a loan from Mr. Stowe on the
plea that he had been a member of the rev, gentleman's
congregation for many years, and that he wanted it to
enable him to get to Bristol to bury his wife.
Neither of these stories %via true. The police-constable
who made the arrest said the prisoner's wife was still
living at Birmingham. The Clerk: Is that true?
Prisoner: My wife has been dead a few weeks, but I
have been married to my present wife for more than
five years. (Laughter.) The magistrates committed
him to prison for three months with hard labour.

The Chairman, in referring to the public sym-

Walsall and that district. (Cheers.) He was con-
vinced that the appeal referred to would result in
renderiag them great assistance, for when the
Birmingham people undertook anything they in-
variably carried it out thoroughly.
A vote of thanks was then passed to tho Trades
Council for their efforts on the chainmakers be-

A resolution was also unanimously carried to the
effect that all sizes of stcel links should be at nne

"I am thankful to Providence for the wonder-

I was surprised, after taking half the first bottle.
how well I felt ; and after I had taken one large
bottle the wounds on my legs healed. I only
wish I had tried the Mixture before. I should
have saved five years of continued buffering. I
used to feel all the changes of the atmosphere

1 feel like a new man. I began to think I
should never get well, for I had attended St.
