CHRISTCTIVRCH, BLACILFRIARS.—The Rev. Joseph
Brown's usual perish Wale was held in the avenues of
Dysart House, at Hare, cm Holiday lest. The weather was
unusually favourable, the hest befog moderated, while the
sky continued to become daemon the day advanced. The
numbers, else, somewhat el:needed the usual amount. Ar-
rangements were made with the railway company for the
conveyance of 3,000; it is calculated that there were also
about 150 babies in arms; about 250 added themselves to the
party, paying their fern in the usual way : and there were
between 200 and 300 of the chief parishioners. The day
off in the gayest manner, the grounde, kindly tent
passedo the purpose by the Hon. Frederick Tollemache, M.P.,
being peculiarly suited for a meeting of the kind. As
usual, the multitude spread itself over a large space, the
neighbouring fields and the heights of Richmond being oc-
cupied by the outposts of the main force. But under the
lofty trees of the avenue. was the host, enjoying itself is
canons amusements, assisted by organs, monkeys, and other
aids, with refreshments at intervals. Mr. Brown sod
Lis
family were active in every part. As usual, when the bum-
bler guests had begun to wend their way towards home, the
chief pariehioners and other friends of the rector of Chriet-
church assembled in the tent of the garden attached to the
British Orphan Asylum at Liam. lu the course of the even-
ing Mien Tollemache and Miss Sinclair joined the party
under the tent, end the children of the Orphan Asylum, now
exceeding 110 in number, were intrialumil to the company.
Their healthy, comfortable, docile, eel happy condition was
apparent, not only in their persons, but in the countenances
• and maws of all.
