AERONAUTIrtL &MISTY. general meeting of
the members of the Aeronautical Society of Crent Britain
was held last night in the great room of the Society of Arts
for the reading and discussion of papers upon aerial navi-
gation and the flight of birds. In the absence of the Duke
of Argyll, the president of the society, who was suffering
from indisposition, the chair was taken by Mr. Wright, a
member of the council. The firstlamer was read by Mr.
H. Bright, who narnited the history and described the
eonstructim and capabilities of a machine of his own in-
vention c..lled the Ir aerial screw." which was capable
cf rising into the air and carrying with it a small
weight, by means of a mechanical power contained
within itself, and which could also be applied to steady
the motion and regulate the ascent or descent of a balloon.
Br. }luny, of Hereford, described an aerial machine
which he has invented, the construction of which is
founded upon the application of the inclined plane, and
the motive power is to he electro-magnetiem, mechanically
applied by windmill sails, or aerial screws. This paper
was of a technical character, arid without reference
to the very besutiful model by which it was illustrated, it
is quite impossible to render this theory of the inven-
tor completely intelligible, Mr. Wenham read some
remarks upon the present state of aeronautic science,
which ultimately resolved themselves into a rather
abstruse discussion of the principles upon which
depended, and the laws which governed, the flight
of birds, and therefore presumably all other methods of
aerial progreosioe. The hon. secretary read a paper con-
tributed by Mr. Art' tall, of Manchester, in which he
discussed the flight of Mrds, with special reference to the
arc of vibration of their wings ; and one from the Earl of
Aldborough upon a similar subject, combined with •
description of a peculiar form of aerostat or gasholder
M. Henri RedaSt. Martin described an aerial machine the
construction of which was founded upon the principles
which governed the flight of kites ; but in the case of
which the place of a string was supplied, and Be restrain-
ing action obtained, by means of a screw or screws. By
the action of their power the machine or kite might be
maintained in elevation, whether the wind was on one
aide of it or the other. A short discussion followed the
reading of the papers, and the proceedings terminated with
votes of thanks to their authors and to the chairman.

THE STRIKE ON THE NORTH EASTERN RAlL-
\MT.—There is very little new to report. The directors
of the company preserve the same attitude of independence
towards the men on strike, and although they have as yet
pretty well succeeded with their arrangements, there are
great quantities of goods at some rtions of the line, now
*be line has again been reopened for goods traffic, which
almost completely block the way. There are not sufficient
drivers to take them away. The men seem to rely mostly
upon what influence can be brought to bear from without.
Their hope is that the men will strike in their support on
the other main limn. Many of them have taken a des-
ponding view of their affairs, and there have been several
applications to the company to be reinstated. Such appli-
cations, however, have been refused. The Stockton and
I)arlicgton Railway seem to have their engine, better
tiled than the North Eastern. and their traffic, both
ger and otherwise, ia now kept pretty well going.
Gateshead and Leeds were on Tuesday the amnia of
magisterial proceedings arising out of the strike. In the
former case eight drivers and five firemen had been sum-
moned for breach of contract Mr. Blackwell, barrister,
appeared on behalf of the railway company, while Mr.
Webster, of Darlington, attended in the interests of the
men. The latter gentleman, on account of the 'bort time
which had been afforded to him for the preparation of the
defence, asked for a remand, and an adjournment was
ultimately granted till Saturday, the defendants agreeing
to pay the coth., amounting to 4/. IN. The proceedings
at Leeds have at length been productive of a conviction,
the delinquent being a driver named John Binds, but sen-
tence was deferred for a month, the magistrates expressing
a hope that in the interval an amicable settlement of the
dispute might be effected. With the same object, the
remaining five summonses which had been taken out were
postponed for a similar period.
A RITUALISTIC FUNERAL IN LONDON.—Tester
day morning the remains of the Rey. Warwick Reed
Wroth. who was incumbent of St. Philip's, Clerkenwell,
for about 12 years. were buried at Highgate with great
ritualistic pomp, under the auspices of the " Provost and
Guild of St. Alban." The body was taken from Mr.
Wroth'e house to the church at 10 o'clock. At the church
it was met by the choir, and the procession was headed by •
cross-bearer, each of the choir having a craps scarf over the
surplice ; then came the clergy, two and two, followed by
the three officiating priests and the mourners. The funeral
sermon was preached by the Ray. A. H. ILickonochie, in-
cumbent of St. Alban's, Holborn. During the preliminary
service the coMn was in the centre of the chancel ; three
lights were burning on each side of it, and pots of beautiful
lowers were placed round it, and wreaths were laid on it.
The coffin was of polished oak, with coped top, awl there
was • large cross extending the whole length. At the foot
was the illuminated inacnption—

The Rev. Warwick Reed Wroth, M.A.,
Incumbent of St. Philip's, tlerkenstell,
who fell asleep on Thanthir In Passion Week,
I Ith AprU, 156 T. Aged 42 Years-
R. I. P.

Over the coffin was a handsome violet pall, with a white
clue over the length and breadth of it, and rich borders
embroidered with white silk. The incumbent's stall was
hung in black, and decorated with flowers. The proces-
sion then went to Highgate. Among the friends present
were the Hon. Colin Lindsay (president of the English
Church Union), the Hon. C. L. Wood (Equerry to the
Prince of Wales), Sir Charles Young, Bart., Mr. R. Brett,
of Stoke Newington, Dr. Hilliard, the Provost and many
brethren and sisters of the Guild of St. Alban's, and
others. Mr. Wroth was a man of considerable ability and
very great ardour. He wee the first London incur-
bent who abolished the pew-system.
