ST. SILAS WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION.—On Saturday
evening the twenty-sixth and last concert of the season, in
connection with this association was held. The attendance
was large even to inconvenience, every available spot in the
large school-room, Oakes-street, in which it was held, being
crammed. John Abrahams, Esq., presided. The Sailor's
Home glee party were present, having kindly con-
sented to give their services gratis for the evening,
and the manner in which they performed the
task they had undertaken fully sustained their reputa-
tion The association's military band was also in attend-
ance, and played several airs, in good style, during the
evening. At the conclusion of the first part of the pro-
gramme, a large number of the audience retired to a lower
room, where, as usual, excellent refreshments were provided
at a trifling charge. Ten minutes of an interval was
allowed for this, which being expired they returned to their
seats, and the second part was proceeded with. Near the
close of the proceedings Mr. John Carafan, a member of
the association, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Grimley, the honorary secretary of the association,
and in doing so he remarked that
,the manner in
which he had conducted the Saturday eyenins concerts during
the past season was. such as to be both creditable to himself
and pleasing to all connected with the Association. Another
member seconded the motion, which was carried amid loud
cheers. Mr. Grimley expressed his obligations for the kind
manner in which his name had been mentioned ; and took
occasion to thank the Chairman for his services and
attention to the Association. Among all the gentle-
men who had presided— arol there were no less than
twenty-six, :there was not one duringc, the whole seaso n
who had been chairman, that he had a higher respect for
than Mr. Abrahams. He would couple -with the name of
Mr. Abrahams, that of Mr. Jackson, and he would not
forget the valuable services of 7:vir. George Holden.
He concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the
chairman. Mr. Jackson said he thought it was his
duty to express his deep obligations to Mr. Abrahams,
for his staunch support to tte a,,so -iation. He had not only
given his attention, but also hiN means, to advance the
working classes, in prrJouring 'hem useful information
in the share of lecti;ro, 4c , were delivered in kl‘

George's Hall some time ago. Ire had great pleasure 1
seconding the vote of thanks to Mr. Abrahams. gr.
Abrahams said he felt much pleasure in being ree
p-
sent at that, the last of their concerts for th
season, and much obliged for the flattering mention of his
name that had been made by Messrs. Grimley and Jackson.
It had been found that the public wanted a little relaxation
at times, and for that reason it was thought well to get u.
the concerts which had been found to work so weu
under the 'management of Mr. Grinaley. The
object of the association was mutual improvement,
and it was found that_great good was done. to those for
whose benefit it had been established. lie always
remembered the signal of Nelson—" England expects
every man will do his duty," and he hoped they had done
their duty to each other, and he was sure those vnio had
undertaken to benefit them had done their duty,
He hoped that, now that a bill was hefore
the House of Lords, which would afford recreation to the
working classes, that some good Liverpool merchant wstar
grant them a suitable piece of land, that would cricketl)

For the present he would say " Farewell, but not
that
for ever, but if' for ever fare you well." A long
address was printed with the programme which Ive
regret we have not room to give at length. It comprise
oi
complete history of the Association. Thanks were ten;
dered to the various parties who had contributed to the
harmony of the past season, with special reference to
the
b
Sailors' Home glee party and the military band of t d
Association. The proceedings were wound up by the an
playing the national antheni.
