ME DISRAELI AND THE CHURCH.

" A good Church cry before s Registration,"
said Mr. Tadpole, " eh, my lord, I think that would do ?"
"I am all fora religious cry," said Taper. "It means
nothing, and, if suomeatul, does not interfere with busi-
ness when we are in."

" And now for our cry," said Mr. Taper. " ` Ancient
institutions and modern improve:mate,' I suppose, Mr.
Tadpole ?"

"Ameliorations is the better word : ameliorations !
Nobody knows exactly what it means."
" We go strong on the Church," said Mr. Taper.

WESLEYAN REFORM UNION.—The sittings of
the representatives of the churches composing this union
were held at High Wycombe on the I Ith and 12th days of
August, and were attended by persons from different parts
of the country. This union consists of • number of
churches, many of the members of which were either ex-
pelled from the Wesleyan in the years 1849 and 1860. or
seceded in consequence of the doings of the Wesleyan
Conference. The reports of the spiritual state of the dif-
ferent churches were of a pleasing character, and it ap-
peared there were in connection with the union as fol-
lows;—Chapels and preaching pawns, 27d; preachers un-
paid, 810; ministers paid, 21; members, 9,423; Sunday
school scholars, 18,516 • teachers, 3,691.
GYMNASTICS IN gCHOOLS.—There is even in this
country a growing tendency just now to make of gym-
nastics in schools a fatiguing, tedious, and monotonous
study, instead of their being an agreeable, diversified, and
most invigorating recreation. We invite attention to the
recent memoir of Dr. Gallard on this subject. The fol-
lowing are his conclusions. Ile proposes to proscribe for
young people the a:e'en.s of the bar and the trapeze, and
the monotonous use of "clubs" and dumb-bells ; and to
replace the factitious exercising in the gymnastic school
by free and natural exertion in such games as football,
cricket, tennis, &c., in which the masters can take part
with their pupils. Long walks may replace other fa-
tiguing exercises ; and for boys the rifle drill may be in-
troduced after the age of 14. Swimming and horse-
riding are invaluable gymnastics ; and doprtvatioa of ex-
ercise should be banished from the list of punishments.—

--CATiOLIC CATHEDRAL IN Willa-
xnaTEß.—The Aware Journal says :—"Measures are in
a forward state for a beginning with the catholic cathedral
to be erected in the ropolui as a memorial of the late
Cardinal Wiseman. A pseoe of ground of nearly three
acres in extort has been secured in Westminster, near
Buckingham Palace and the splendid range of buildings
now in course of erection on the Belgraviaa agitate of
the Marquis of Westminster. Some Idea of the =
tude and importance of the proposed shame,
will be the Gni eathedral which the Whales
of the metropolis have been able to bald aloe the
so-called Reformation, may be gathered from the fact
that the cost of the site alone will be 50,0001. Of this sum
one-Afth is to be paid ea the Ist of Nevereber neat, and
the eommittee charged with the iety of meowing hods
hope to be able to posh on the wades la theepriag. Oa the
completion of the eathedrel theramaim of Girlhood Wise-
amp, which now red at Bt. Katy's OmMitsg. todtrol-
great, will be removed to a okayed to be halt far their
reception. Itseatime Kr. Pugin has beim esmedmioned
to furnish a design for the &rise while is to come the
Pave ha the comMa7, end which will be removed to the
cathedral with the aabes of the lemeated prelate."
