COACHMAIRRN INDUSTRIAL IXHIBITION.

The Operative Cosebreakers' falowing the lead gives it
tbe Lambeth and 'snap= wort* sten's exhibitions, have
solleetsd a pod many assiosesto of their art, both useful
sad ornamental, at Cosatmakers'-hall, Noble-street. The
idea was, we belays, Ma actuated by Mr. Hooper, and has
rises naiad W.llll impart has Kr. Woodall and other
members in the trade ; bat the object is, we understand,
to leave the latter se amok as possible in the bands of the
worinag oreasnakers themeelvek and to lave to there
whatever 'mast of public approbation may be bestowed
on the exhibitios. _ _

The working caliche:eskers hare, we think, wisely de-
voted their ingenuity to the production of specimens
taming within the circle of their own highly
skilled handicraft ; and considering that the present
is • first attempt, the molt is very creditable.
There are drawings sod designs for carriages by working
men which will certainly be sees rolling in Rotten-row be-
fore long, and various models of hffprovements in splinter
bars, stem roofs, and other details of asaviage-building.
Elegant models of the Queen's and other state carriages
form as attractive feature in the exhibition, and there are
elm some wonderful specimens both of heraldic and ordi-
nary mach painting. Some of the imitations of " Makes"
bodies ere exquisite. In another department the hareem
Buskers are exaslisatly represented, and them is an immense
variety of coach lam" Including me which generates its
own illuminating vapour, and predates a most powerful and
contineous light. Cashion, haromer-clotha, lace, in short
the whole stile d dakv of the trade are exhibited in
great variety, farm*, altogether, we will not say a per-
fect, but at least a very promising exhibition, one that even
now, in its infamy, is well worth • visit, and which will, no
doubt, if properly supported by the public, be the torero.-
nee o! a great many future once, got up on • much won
extensive scale.
Perhaps our operative friends will forgive us for °beery-
* en the paucity of whim* of the exercise of the inven-
tive faculty in the working men amongst the articles exhi-
bited. As a matter of fact, nearly all of our great mechasi-
eel haematites which have revolutionised manufactures and
oonvereed melt masters into millionaires originated with
working am, and therefore is it • matterof regret to us when
we lee these latter wasting their :ash and ingenuity In the
constractiou of mere models, which being entirely without no-
velty are little elevated in character above the toy shop. There
are several combenaking desiderata unsatisfied at this mo.
meet, and the working ooe.chmaker who should supply any
one of them would at once make his own fortune and confer
an important benefit on the community. We want, for ex.
inale, an omnibus not toe large for the crowded street. of
London, and at the same time with so couch interior space
as will amble the sixth passenger on each side to settle
down in his seat without the madame of a hydraulic ram.
We should be very glad also of a " Hansom" into which
the passenger could get without breaking his shins against
the doors, and get oat or lower the window without the im-
minent risk of nasal abrasion. Another model which would
be immensely popular would °be one of an improved " four
wheeler," which, while it ostentatiously exhibited
its license to carry " four inside," should at least
be able balmily to accommodate three of the num-
ber. We understand that the committee offered prizes
for all the above matters, but that as yet the operatives
have not been persuaded to turn their attention in so useful
a direction. One very original modal is seen of a traction
engine, which struck os as being an immense advance on any
at pretreat in ms. If it be entirely the invention of the
exhibitor we should recommend biro to register it without
delay, as, if not, there will be great danger of piracy when
the exhibition is thrown open to the general public. The
eiremonial inauguration of the exhibition takes plane to-
marrow (Wednesday), when the Marquis of lAnsloworr, and
several other notehilitim have promised to "assist"

POOR CHURCH-BENEFICES IN WARWICK-
SHIRE.

The Bishop of Worcester presided over a nume-
rous meeting of clergy and laity, yesterday afternoon, at
St. Mary's-hall, Coventry, for the purpose of originating
fund far the anpusetation of poor bouellees in that arch-
deaconry of his diocese. Amongst those present were Lord
Leigh, the Lord-Lieutenant; the Hon. and Her. J. Leigh
and W. 11. Diveoport Bromley, Esq., M.P. for North
Warwickshire; the Venerable Archdeacon Sandford, the
Beverende Canon Pilkinpon, Canoe Savage, Dr. Millen
Birmingham, and the principal clergymen of the arch.
deaconry.
Lord LEIGH moved the first resolution, fcr the formation
of a society for the auggmentation of the endowment of poor
benefices in the arekdeacocry, by means of donations, an-
nual subscriptions, congregational oollectiona, and other bo-
wling's& in the course of his remarks, his lordship ap-
plauded the movement, which he thought must command
the smensby and aid alike of the clergy and laity. (Ap-
plause.-) It was manifestly imposidble fur • clergyman to
maintain the position of a gentlemen ou the paltry ioirome
of 1001. a year, and he could conceive no position more pain-
ful to a refined and honourable mind than that of being
relirtirrady io debt, and utterly unable to relieve the sad dis-
tress with which ministers were constantly brought into 00D•
Mot.
The Veil.' Archdeacon Sannrosn, Archdeacon of
Coventry, @emitted the proposition.
Mr. liavgeroar BRONIALT, M.P. for North Warwick-
shire, proposed • resolution, to the effect thatgrants of 1001.
should be made to benefices under 200/. a year, on condition
that a like sum should be raised from other Gowen.
Mr. DARLINGTON seconded the proposition, which was
unanimously adopted.
Other formal resolutions were adopted, sod letters were
read from the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl of Ayleeford, and
others, expressing their cordial sympathy with the move-
mut, and regretting their inability to be present. At the
close of the proceedings, donations ware announced =mot-
tos to nearly 400 f., sod the proceedings terminated with a
vote of thanks to the bishop for prendMg.
