The annual meeting of the members and friends
of this society, which is supported by churchmen and dis-
senters alike, was held in Exeter-hall to-day. Notwith-
standing the early hour at which the proceedings com-
menced (10 o'clock) the large hall was completely filled.
Mr. W. E. BAXTER ALP., presided, and was supported
by Mr. Leeman, M.P., Mr. Barnes. M.P., Mr. Deputy
Reed, the Rev. H. Allen, and a large body of ministers and
laymen.
The CUAlRM.twoongratulated the society on its advancing
prospects, owing to the munificence of Mr. Hadfield, M.P.,
and other friends, and also on the recovery of one who was
lost but was now found- Dr. Livingstone—who had been
for many years intimately connected with the society.
The Rev. Dr. MULLEN:4 read the report, which gave a
satisfactory account of the society's various stations. As
soon as the year began, the committee were called
to consider the financial condition of the society, and
under a new system which had been adopted they
bad to report that the gross receipts of the year had been
n ,:sorki. IDs. 4d., the expenditure being less than that
sum by 1,062/. Ss. 4d , which remained as a balance in fa-
vour of the social'.
Resolutions expressive of thankfulness at the results
of the society were adopted, the lion. Arthur Kinnsird,
M.P., was appointed treasurer, the Rev. Dr. Mullen,
Foreign Secretary, and the Rev. Robert Robinson and
the Rev. William Fairbrother, joint secretaries.

The first catch of mackerel this season off the
coast of Dorset was made last week. The catch mudded
of 4,000 fish.
BUCKINGHAM AND THE IRISH CHURCH QUEE-
TIGN.—On Tuesday evening an enthusiastic meeting in
support of Mr. Gliidskine's resolutions was held in the
Town-hall, Buckingham, the use of which was kindly
granted by the mayor. The Rev. N. P. Langrideo, of
Loudou, having delivered • lecture, which was much ap-
plauded, • petition in favour of the disestablishment of
the Irish church was adopted without a single dissentient.
Towards the close of the meeting, the Rev. Mr. Widdow.
son, of Buckingham, submitted a resolution in reference
to Mr. Coleridge's bill now before the House of Commons.
A petition in favour of that bill was also unanimously
adopted.
THE LITERATURE OF THE STAGE.—Ina letter
to the Daily Tdegraph, Mr. Dion Boucioault exposes what
be calls " the area sneak of dramatic literature." The
offender referred to seems to be some person or class
of persons who ascertained the title of a drama be
was writing, and anticipated its production by ad-
vertising the performance at one of the principal
' suburban theatres. lie forwarded to the offending
manager in this case a copy of the certificate
of copyright and the result was an apology and the
withdrawal both of the title and the piece. The Long
Striie, a drama which he wrote last year was pirated by
I something like a dozen managers. Mr. Boucicault " ex-
posed the theft," and drew from the offenders • humilise
sing confession that their credulity had been imposed upon.
To show that this kind of piracy is not • trifling
I matter, Mr. Boncicault says that assuoceasful drama
is worth at least 5,000/., and • very great
• success may be worth from 30,000/. to 45,0001.
Mr. Boncicault justifies his efforts for the suppression of
dramatic piracy on the ground that he feels it to be his
vocation to protect the interests of authors. Formerly it
was the custom for authors of first-rate plays to receive,
in London, about Si. • night for their work, and
11. in the provinces, whereas the " our actor " earned 20/.1
a night in London, and 50/. in the provinces. Mr. Bondi.
cault takes credit for having successfully demanded that
the literary element should be equally recognised and
better 'd than the artistic, and the result ts that "a
su ul dramatic author can now make as much as
eve. • prima donna."
MEETING OF THE IRISH CHURCH PARTY AT
Counuirrem—At a meeting held in the theatre at Col-
chester last night, called by the tones, half those present
were liberals. The speakers were Mr. Harslake, M.P.
Colonel Learmonth, lb. Fowler, and Mr. Sedgwick, of
London, and several local gentlemen. The proceedings
were much Lite= and Gladstone, Bright, and Dr.
Brewer were loud e Great feeling was mani-
fested in favour of the dimetabliaLment of the Irish church.
The chairman, Mr. Hawkitu, would not allow the liberals
to vote.

M.P. - - We regret to learn that Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness,
the eminent brewer,'oue of the representatives for the city
of Dublin, is very seriously indisposed. He suffers from
a severe bronchial attack. Dr. Barton end other phy-
sicians are in attendance. Inquiries made last night at
Norfolk-street, Park•lans, enable us to state that Sir
Benjamin Guinness's condition, though matt critical,
gave some hopes of recovery to his medical attendants.—

CHURCH ASSOCIATION.—A conference of mem-
bers of this association was held yesterday morning at
Willis's-rooms, King-street, St. James's, upon the duties
of the protestant and evangelical members of the
church of England at the present time. The chair was
taken by Mr. J. C. Colquhoun, and amongst others pre-
sent were—Lord Fitewalter, Mr. B. P. Law, M.P., Hon.
Captain Maude, Archdeacon Hunter, Hon. and Rev. E. V.
Bligh, Hon. and Rev. Mr. Noel, Sir C. Leighton, Rev.
Canon Conway, Mr. T. Chambers, M.P., Mr. P. T.
O'Malley, Q.C., ire. The first subject brought under consi-
deration was : " Is action through Diocesan Synods legal
and advisable,and what steps ought to be taken by the friends
of protestant truth with respect to this question ?" The
discussing' was opened by Mr. O'Malley, who was followed
by Mr. Chambers, M.P., the Rev. Canon Girdlestone,
I the Rev. J. C. Ryal, Mr. J. G. A. Creswiok, the Rev. W.
A. Conway, the Rev. Charles Moore, and others, and the
general opinion was that any attempt to revive synodical
action would be of doubtful legality, and would tend to
destroy the peace of the church. Amongst other topics
distimed were the " objectionable character " of the
Woodard Schools, and "What course is moat desirable the
evangelical and protestant bodies should take in refer-
ence to the next church congress."
COLONIAL MISSIONARY SOCIETY. —Last evening
the annual meeting of this society was held in the Weigh
House chapel, Mr. George Leeman, M.P., presiding. The
report stated that the response of the constituents of the
society, if not enthusiastic, had been such as to meet the
necessities of the ease in • creditable way, and so as to
avert from them the reproach of haring left their country.
men in other lands destitute of religious privileges. The
existence of nearly 230 congregational churches in the
colonies, by far the greater number of which could have
had no existence, and aimed all the rest of which must
have worked with much lees efficiency but for the aid of
the society, was • gratifying proof that England was not
regardless of those who had gone out to found new em-
pires in her name. From the treasurer's statement, made
by Mr. James Spicer, it appeared that last year's income
was 3,0911. 18.. Amongst those present, some of whom
took part in the proceedings, were Rev. T. Binney, Rev.
W. M. Statham, Rev. W. Cuthberteon, Mr. Charlie
Reed, he.

Tbe broccoli season for West Cornwall is over,
and we are glad to report a peat improvement on last
year. The West Cornwall Railway has sent off 3,600 tons
against 1,500 in 1867, and 3,200 in 1866. These have gone
principally to London, but to many other of the large
cities of Ragland also, and as far north as Hull and Edin-
burgh. In addition, the neighbourhood of Penzanoe has
furnished WestOornwall with a constant supply of broccoli
from December to April, at from 4d. to 2d. a piece.—
