Tan MIDNIGHT MIZTING MOVIIIENT. Last
night the eighth annual meeting of the friends connected
with this movement was held at the Freemmons'hall,
Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-hut-fields; Mr. Robert Baxter
in the chair. There was • large attendance of ladies and
gentlemen. The report which wee presented stated that
during the year ending March 6, 1868, sixteen meetings
had been held, and 173 poor stria rescued. Lein year
the number of meetings held was 28, and the meson
why there had been a diminution in the number this year
was in consequence of the debt which the committee
owed at the commencement of the year to the various
homes for the board and lodging of the girls, and
the determination of the committee to hold meetings only
in proportion to the amount of funds at their
One of the most difficult questions with which the MD-
mittee had had to deal had been how to employ those who
once occupied a higher position in the social scale than
domestic servant., who constitute the greater poetics of
the unfortunates. This question, they were happy to my,
had to some extent been answered by the establishment of
the Hope Printing-offices and Horn*, mentioned in the last
report am in cause of formation. The printing-office was
now open and working well, though on a limited scale, for
want of funds to purchase • larger stock of type. Though
the office had only been open six months in January last,
orders for printing amounting to TM. 3s. 11d. had been
received ; the wagas earned on these orders being
1561. lls. 6d. The specimens of printing which had been
executed by the inmates were both gratifying and en-
couraging, showing as they did how suitable this breath
of labour was for welloducated women. At the request
of several friends and subscribers, a new branch printing-
office (in • distinct and separate building) was being
formed to receive, instruct, and permanently em-
ploy more of this elms of gentlewomen. The oenimittee
stated that their funds bad hoes well sustained dadm the
past year, so that, though fewer meetings bad bees Mkt,

PIRILOUB ADVF-NTURZ.—On Tuesday two youths
made an attempt to wale the Dewetsione. • very pre-
cipitous cliff, situate • few miles from Plymouth. They
got on tolerably well for shout 150 feet, when great
difficulties presented themselves. However, they perse-
vered, until • large piece of overhanging rock made it
impossible for them to preoeed further with any degree of
safety. Indeed, at this time their situation was most
wrilous and they were as afraid to attempt a retreat as
to art higher. They shouted for help. and is the mune
of half an hour their voices were heard by a party of boys,
who at once sumnsosed assistance. A thick rope was
secured at the top of the cliff, and • running woee let
down to the adventur•us pair; this was Ent made
fart undry the arms of the yonseer of the two, and
he vr.ul then swung off into midair, bring • popes-
I:del:tot more than nowt from the Lotto s. He
I was safely landed. and tar other was in turn draws up.
