ST. PHILIP'S, STEPNET.—Yeaterday nearly three
hundred families were *applied with beef, bread, and coals
in honour of the marriage of the Princess Royal. The in-
cumbent, aided by Mr. Alfred Hobday and others, woo
engaged from eight in the morning until a late hour the
day in administering relief, and the poor were heartily grati-
fied with the bounty afforded them.
AN ESSEX AGEICULTITRAL SocltTY.—The Royal
Agricultural meeting of 1856 left the county of Essex a
legacy of 3361., after defraying all costs and charges, doing
due honour to the working man of the day sad
priating • certain sum to the commemoration of
the
event. On Friday Wt the executors met to take
out administration, and consider the appropriation
of the fund ; and it will be seen by the report of the proceed-
ings of the meeting at the Shire-hall, that It has been re-
soled to devote it to the nurture of a younger child of the
national institution. In other words, • county
cultural society is to be established with this 33W-1-:
a great went is to be supplied—a mark of discredit
is to be removed from Essex, which though amongst the
foremost in agricultural character, has been doing nothing
as a county for the promotion and progress of that
calling. All the couhties around it, Herta end Suffolk,
and Norfolk and Kent, have had their wain-
none and their annual gathaings, while to the surprise
of its neighbours this district has remained silent, improving
perhaps, in its cultivation and stock, but each man working
by himself on what appeared a system of individual selfish-
ness. Many of the tenant farmers felt this as a reproach.
We have often heard them complain that it should be sp.
They have now an opportunity of remedying this state of
things.—lose: Herald.
THE LIVERPOOL EXCHANCE.—The proprietors,
at their annual mmHg yesterday, agreed to a dividend of
nine guineas par share, to be paid on the Ist February, and
en
additional three guineas in lien of the right by propnetors
of nominating subscribers to the news-room. A bill is to be
promoted by the proprietor, next session, to raise money for
the enlargement of the news room, and for the improvement
of the Exchange buildings.
ORFORD, JAN. 26.—1 n a convoca'ion to be holden
next Thursday at ten o'clock, it will be proposed that the
Rev. William Curet n, M.A., of Christ Church, be per-
mitted to proceed to the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of
Divinity by accumulation.
MENTAL LABOUR, The injurious effects of
mental labour are in great measure owing to excessive forcing
in early youth ; to sudden or misdirected study; to the oo-
geration of depressing emotions or petitions; to the neglect
of the ordinary rules of hygiene; to the neg!e^t of the hints
of the body; or to the presence of the rends of disease, dege-
neration, and decay in the system. The man of healthy
phlgmatic or choleric temperament is less likely to be in-
Jod by applination than one of the sanguine or melancholia
type ; yet them latter, with allowance for the original consti-
tution, may be capable of vast efforts. The extended and
deep culture of the mind exerts a directly conservative info-
mice upon the body. Fellow-labourer one word to you
before we conclude. Fear not to do man fully the work for
which your gifts qualify you ; but do it as one who must
give an account both of soul and body. Work, and work
hard, whilst it is day ; but the night oometh soon enough—
do not hasten it. Use your faculties, use them to the ut-
most, but do not abuse them—make not the mortal do the
work of the immoral. The body has its claims—it is • good
servant; treat it wall, and it will do your work ; its knows
its own business; do not attempt to teach or to force it ; at-
tend to its wants and requirements, listen kindly and pa-
tiently to its hints, ocosaionel y forestal its necessities by 'little
indulgence, and your consideration will be mild with in-
toast. But task it and pine it and suffocate it, make it •
slave instead of a servant ; it may not complain much, but,
like the weary camel In the desert, it will lay down and pia—

SHAKESPEARE AND THE SPIRITUALISTS. —We
are indebted to Mr. Fenno, " one of the most dietioguished
of American actor," for a communication from Shaksosare,
through Mr. Linear:, the medium of the Society for the W-
indom of Spiritual Knowledge, in which the bard spoke very
flatteringly of his acting You play well—you excel;
were there more good Padre, you would shine'' from which
wan infer that Mr. Fenno's merits are greater than his popu-
larity. As a specimen of Shakspeare's American composi-
tion we give what Mr. Fenno thinks a tine variation of
Hamlet's advice to the players .—" The eye! the eye I—
without it man were blind" (here is another instance of the
minute observation of Shekepeare), "and ploy would near
be acting. Thine eye 'peeks volumes. Silly mouthers may
mince sod inawk ; but with thyl piercing eye thoult dumb
them ails" The commentators will be glad to know that the
=Moo about the bard's name is settled. He has
nand it to be Shrthgear. It is a pity that while
Mr.Feono hod hold of him, be did not get him to settle some
Wier Wage. It Is necessary to add that this °ammoniat-
ean to Bright so genuine and important that Mr. Tal-
mage has inserted it in the Appendix to the Bret work that
has pool ids spiritual presidency; and in spite of what
must boo lops violence to his modesty, namely, the coro-
of Fenno, that Shakspeare himself,

ing that Sifter:* would turn it to vary good account.—
