RE-OPENING OF MYRTLE-STREET CRApEL.--,The-ye-
opening 'ceremonial services of -this chapel were 'con-
cluded last night by a tea party held in the school-room
under the chapel. Tke large !room capable- of seating
upwards' of 800 persons was quickly filled, and the
unoccupied class-rooms, which were placed at the disposal
of the extra attendance, were found. barely sufficient for
their accommodation. Notwithstanding the large num-
bers present, the proceedings were conducted with great
order, and the tea passed off with the greatest
quietness. After the tables had been cleared a
hymn was sung, and the Rev. Mr. Greene offered up.
prayer. The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown then-addressed
the meeting. He said he was very much pleased to
see so many of the congregation around* him on
this occasion. He then gave a sketch of the
history of the scheme for enlarging their, place of
worship. - He observed that that enlargement had been
rendered' an absolute necessity, as the old chapel was
'found quite incapable of accommodating the rapidly
increasing number of worshippers. -,After remarking-
that,_ as he was not a business man, and would therefore
refrain from entering upon the minutiae of the improve--
- ments, the reverend gentleman resumed his seat amid
great applause. Several gentlemen then addressed the
meeting, and Mr. Robinson gave a lucid sketch of the
-improvements, which appeared, to be highly satisfactory
both ,to the congregation and minister. Collections
were then made to defray the extra expenses incurred
in the extensive improvements which have been made,
after which the meeting broke up.

interrupted by Mr. Evans, who- intimated that the
proper time 'to enter into those objections was at the
'certificate sitting. His Honour concurred. Mr. Ewer
then observed that the balance-sheet, which had
been amended, was now satisfactory. The bankrupt
was accordingly allewed to pass. The certificate
sitting was appointed for the 28th October.-- In re

brokers, commission and general forwarding agents, in

rendered to the bankruptcy, has been- duly proclaimed

plied to pass his last examination. Mr. Wynne, who repre-
sented the assignees, stated that they were satisfied with
the balance-sheet as amended. His Honour, after some
inquiries of the official assignee,' allowed him to pass.
The certificate was fixed for the 28th October.—,Tn re
