BAND or Hoes UNION.—Last evening another I
choir of 600 juvenile voices resounded in Exeter-hall. the
occasion being the anniversary meeting of the United
Kingdom Band of Hope Union, and their neat appearance
and vocal effort. afforded evident gratification to an over. '
Bowing auditory, who had mostly paid for admission. Mr.
Whitworth, M.P., presided, and was supported by a large
number of the friends of the temperance movement, The I
report, which was read by the Rev. G. W. Were., the
secretary, gave a detailed history of the proceedings of
the society for the past year, which were of a highly
satisfactory character. Bands of Hope were on the in-
crease, but there is still need for increased exertions, and
the committee appeal to the temperance public for addi-
Monal assistance to enable them to luny on operations in
the way of public meetings, lectures, extended agencies,
and the publication of prize essays. The annual fete in
connection with the National Temperance League at the I
Crystal Palace was a great success, upwards of 30000 per-
sons having been present, while the choir, trained by Mr.
Frederick Smith. and furnished by the affiliated societies
of the metropolis, had gradually increased freak 900 who
sang in 1862, to 5,000 in 1867. The comber of publica-
tions sold during the past year was 42,961 pledge cards,
31,899 melody books, 3,750 recitations, and 1,088 tune
books, besides a large quantity of certificates, tracts,
tickets, hints, be. The income of the year amounted to

MORAVIAN Mtssions.—The jubilee meeting of
the London Association of these minions was held yes-
terday in Willis's-rooms. The Right Hon. Lord Ebury
presided, and in opening the proceedings sketched the
history of the church of the united brethren, which for
upwards of one hundred and thirty years has carried on
its missions to heathen lands. He paid a high tribute to
the character of the missionaries, whose efforta to advance
civilisation amid circumstances of considerable danger to
themselves formed one of the most interesting narratives
of modern times. He remarked that the association was
not a society composed of the united Moravian episcopal
church, but of English Christians, who were united for
the purpose of showing not only their sy.npathy but
their sense of what the brethren had done by supporting
their mission. The Rev. Mr. Mooney read a brief report,
which stated that, having completed its fiftieth year,
the London Association held their jubilee in hope of
awakening • deeper interest in their missions. The sun'
of 180,0001. had been collected since the formation of the
association. The total numbers by the returns from the
various stations at the commencement of the present year
were-88 stations, 318 missionaries, 20,721 communicants ;
and the congregations numbered 70,311. The meeting
was addressed by the Rev. J. La Trobe, Rev. W. B. Mac-
kenzie, and other gentlemen.
GRZAT WESTRAN RAILWAY.—The special general
meeting, adjourned from the 14th kat , was held yesterday
at the Paddington Terminus, Mr. C. A. Wood, in the ab-
sence of Sir D. Gooch, consequent on the death of Lady
Gooch, in the chair. The Chairman, having expressed re-
gret at the cause of Sir D. Gooch's. absence, explained that
the meeting was held under the Wharncliffe standing order
to consider two bills, viz., the Great Western Additional
Powers Bill and • bill for making a junction with the
Kingston and Eardisley line. The more important pro-
vision of the first bill was that which referred to
the agreement with the Bristol and South Wales
Company and with the Severn Navigation Companies,
which had already been discussed. The second bill merely
gave authority to the Kingston and Eardisley Company to
come into the Great Western at Tilley. It involved no
outlay on the part of the Great Western. Both bills were
submitted by the usual formal resolution and approved.
In regard to the third bill, the Cambrian, which stood
on the notice, the Chairman stated that the clauses in
it affecting the Great Western had been withdrawn ; COD.
esquently no further adjournment was n .
Yournrox 11ZROISM. —Mr. Philip ewmatin
three children were playing beside the river Stour, at
Sturminster Newton, on Friday, when the • bey
16 mouths old, fell into the water. The el t,, girl
named Bethia, without the slightest hesitation, jumped in

which his sister pushed towards the shore. An soon ea i
he had placed the little ens on the gram he itaut hold of
his sister's dna., which was scarcely visible, just as she
was sinking, and dragged her ashore. Restoratives war/
aced and she is now recovering rapidly. The sate ty of Loth

THE SCOTCH 'cross BILL.
The Daily Netts points out that the spirit of
compromise was curiously displayed last night in the
division, by which the house adopted Mr. Disraeli's pro-
posal to give seven members to Scotland in preference to Mr.
Baxter's rival scheme, by which ten were to be given. The
government having accepted the principle of increasing the
representation of Scotland without increasing the total
number of members of parliament, the House of Commons,
with that spirit cf give and take which makes con-
tenioa essi. r if .t males it le,s valuable, has
allowed them to ripply the principle in their own
way and to their own extent. The Doily /rescs
trusts that the of jectionable arrangement of the cumula-
tive vote will not be ext. nled I.y the house to Glasgow.
What Mr. Disraeli will do with the three surplus English
eats of which Mr. Baxter's instruction makes him a pre-
sent did not appear last night, but perhaps they may 1e
used to buy off opposition upon critical points in the Irish
bill.

The Times considers that the committee made wonder-
tat strides last night. It suggests that a third member
might be given to Edinburgh, elected on the naive:di,
priewiple, and so avoid the monotony in Scotch reprimands-
tion deprecated by Mr. Lowther.

The itic‘myph complains that: notwithstanding the per.
grey made hum night. nearly three lumirs Isere wasted 'a
wrangling.

The Shrr contends that Scotland has a fair claim to the
whole ten members. It is upon these lines if at the redis-
tribution contest for Scotland has now to be fought, and to
these requisitions the go►ernment will have to yieldl
They have been loyal and aeaaible up to a certain point—
se: loyal and sensible that their followers almost rose in re-
hel'ious turmoil against them ; ►at they will have to towhee
sip their minds to go farther, and once more to carry otdc
the "tithes of the liberal majority.

Artissis* and Labourers' Dwellings the nuisance
which the operations of the Board of Womiusbas cre►ted at

liberty should one day suffer from the rueissures that may
become necessary to restrain the violence ftw which it is

The Herald calls Murphy • pugnasieua protestant

it difficult to obey them.

THE SUNDAY LIQUOR TRAFFIC QUESTION. -
Mr. George Potter gave evidence yesterday before the
Select Committee on Sale of Liquors on Sunday Bill. t Mr.
Potter said he had well studied the provisions of the
present bill, and was greatly in favour of it. The condition
of the working classes had been his study for years. No
doubt amongst skilled labourers of late years there has
been a great decrease iit drinking habits, bat amongst tin-
...killed labourers the same progress has not been made.
He did not believe it was necessary to the comfort of
Sunday excursionists that they should find public-houses
open to them when they returned to town. When he
used to go out on Sunday excursions he frequently found
himself more exhausted and more unfit for work on the
Monday morning than when he left it on the Saturday
evening. In answer to further questions Mr. Potter said
he thought Sunday excursions the hardest work a man
could do. Though in favour of the bill he did not defend
it on religious grounds, but for the sake of preserving
Sunday as a day of rest,
THE SUICIDE MANlA.—Yesterdav Dr. Lankester
held inquests on three bodies at the Elephant and Castle,
St. Pancras. The first inquest was on the body of Mr. G.
Nutting,sged 543, pianoforte-maker, late of the firm of Nut-
ting and Addison, lrt, Nassau-street, Soho. Deceased had
latterly been in very embarrassed circumsbnces, and had .
become very excited in his manner. On Wednesday last
four bills became due, and this circumstance preyed upon
his mind inn great degree. On Saturday last he left his .
place of business without paying the workmen, &Lynn
that be was going to the City to get the money to pay
with. He was not seen again alive, but his body was..
found the same day in the Regent's Canal, near the
Gloucester-road. The medical evictors* showed that death
had resulted from drowning, and the jury returned a ver-
diet of " Suicide whilst of unsound mind." The second
inquest, which was on the body of Henry Medden, ape(
34, was attended with very singular circumstanosa.•
The deceased yesterday week we evidence at the same
place as this inquest was held respecting the death of a
mate, who committal suicide by drowning himself in She
Regent's-canal. During the pest week deceased has been.
chaffed a great deal by his fellow-weekine who insinuated

with a gash across his throat. A knife was foutcri by his.
side. The jury returned &verdict of " Suicide whilst of
