ing last, a part of the congregation of this church, with
their friends, held their annual social assembling in the
large school-rooms attached to St. Thomas's. Two of
the rooms were given to refreshments, and in the third,
which was richly decorated with flags, evergreens, Eze.,
about 400 persons assembled. The evening was en-
livened by the choir singing very happily some well
selected pieces of music, Mrs. Peacock presiding at the
piano. Addresses were delivered at intervals by the Rev.
J. O. Powell, who presided, and by the Revs. Dr. Hume,

FUNERAL OF THE LATE HENRY MORRIS, ESQ., OF
BOOTLE.—The funeral of the above gentleman, who was
formerly a licensed victualler of Liverpool, and for many
years a trustee of the Liverpool Licensed Victuallers'
Association, and also a member of the West Derby
Board of Guardians, took place at Bootle Church, yes-
terday (Wednesday) morning. In token of respect to
the memory of the deceased, the funeral was attended
by a numerous body of friends csnaected with the
Licensed Victualleis' Society. Amongst those present
were—Henry Denson, James Thomson, Thomas Clarke,
John Allenson, and John Atkinson, Esqrs., trustees; and
the following members of the committee :—Mr. M.
Warriner (chairman), .Messrs. W. Coward, Thomas
Jones, George Howe, T. Calderbank, Hornby, John
Thornton, and the secretary, Mr. J. F. Crossman. .
TREAT TO HENGLER'S TROLIPE.--One of those happy
reunions, as complimentary to the employed as it is
creditable to the employer, took place at the. Commercial
Hotel, on Monday evening last. Mr. Charles Hengler,
the spirited proprietor of the "Cirque," Dale-street, gave
his annual entertainment to no less than .47 of the prin-
cipal ladies and gentlemen forming his company.
The sparkling champagne and cooling claret, with
unlimited supplies off the various other wines
and spirits furnished on. such occasions, passed
around,' fully spreading in its current that flow of
brilliant wit and quaint humour so congenial to this
celebrated company. It' was not in imitation, but in
perfect reality, a Fairy Circle," regardless of time,
until the first dawn of a foggy morning reminded them
they were only mortals, and that thousands would
expect them at their posts (where they were)—to the
delight of an • overwhelming house—last night.
From a desire to avoid that ostentation, which is in-
separable from a public presentation, Mrs. Charles Hen-
gler received during the early part of the evening, from
Mrs. Russell, who was deputed by the ladies of the
troupe to present it, an exquisite gold bracelet, as a token
of their esteem and regard for her, principally in can-
sideration of her gentleness, urbanity, and the lively
interest always manifested by her for their welfare and
happiness.—Communicaied.

WARRINGTON PARISH CWURCE B.sz AlL—ThiS
day. ( Wednesday ), says the Warrington Guardian,
will long 'be remembered as the day upon which the
largest bazaar ever held in Warrington was opened, and
opened amid omens of success in • securing funds to aid
in rebuilding the Parish Church, of which the most active-
promoters could scarcely have dreamt. The day has. been
fine, the proeessibn large, the attendance crowded, the
speeches to the point, the purchases extensive, the prices .
tip top, the mum good, the Marionettes delightful, the
refreshments fast disappearing, and the spirits of buyers,
sellers, and loungers exuberant beyond local precedent.
The rector has forgot his rheumatism, various stuck-ups
their ruffles, and ladies who on other days could not
walk a mile, "they are so weak and poorly," have been
skipping "like, like, like—anything, even after dan-
cing at the Lion till three o'clock this morning,
trusting to recruit their exhausted bodies about
the middle of next week, if a ball be then given to the
ladies who have aided the bazaar.
ST. ANNE'S; 'STANLEY; WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIA-
TION.—The annual general meeting of this association
Was held at the Old Swan, on Monday last, when a con-
siderable number of the members were present. A
statement of the accounts for the past twelve months,
read by the honorary secretary,' proved highly satisfac-
tory in all its branches ; as well as the librarian's
*nport. Since the association was formed nearly 250
honor,* and vi orking members have been enrolled, and
the institution continues this year, with re-elected officers
and committee; in its successful course. A working
man's vocal class, connected with. St. Anne's Associa-
tion, is being conducted by a gentleman member, with
a considerable expenditure of trouble.—On Tuesday, Mr..
Thomas Cdoke delivered an interesting and instructive
lecture in St. Anne's National Schools, on the "Polar
Regions,'.' during which', descriptions of the peculiar
characteristics of the Esquimaux elicited some merri-
ment. The lecturer also furnished many details regard-
ing Arctic voyagers, which were fully appreciated. A
hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Cooke, at the
conclusion of his lecture, which was rather prolonged.—.
The Rev. T. Gardner occupied the chair.

of, two obelisks which had been erected, one at Hudders-
field, and the other near Chester. The paper, of the

Decorations, and the History and Practice of that Art,"
being a continuation of a paper read at tie laA meeting
of society, by Mr. J. Andsley.,--After a lengthened

APPOINTMENT OF Mn. ROBERT I)AVIES AS MAQIS.-
TRATE& CLERK—Owing to a disagreement between
Mr. James Nicholson and the Borough Magistrates, on
the question of fees, that gentleman, ceased, on Monday
last,: to hold his office as, magistrates' clerk, anti on Tues.;
day Mr. Robert Davies, of the firm of 'Messr;. Beamont,
ITrmson, and Davies, was appointed in his room. The
cause of the disagreement, we understand, is As folloWs
—Mr. Nicholson has been paid a fixed salary of £250
in lieu of fees, which have usually amounted to £400;
and even zoo alear, the ratepayers pocketing the.
difference: According to a recent decision in the case:
of the Clerk of the Peace at Liverpool, such an arrange,
ment is illegal without the concurrence of the Home
Secretary—which lads never been asked. Such sanction
the magistrates' wish, but, we understand, 'Mr. Nichol-
son is not satisfied with the loss of any of what he
considers his legitimate remuneration, and would pre-,
fer a reduction of the fees, rather than the present plan
hence the sudden change which has been 'brought-about.
The magistrates, however, are' tereconsider the matter
to-morrow (Thursday). We understand all tither
borough magistfates' clerks, except. those of Liverpobl
and Manchester, receive all the fees. - While every one
will consider the new appointment as unexceptionable,
few will be satisfied with Mr. IsTichoLson being dismissed.
like a disobedient lacquey—with a -moment's notice.—
, Warrington Guardian.
