With regard to other work which Was 'especially
suitable for ladies, his lordship remarked that it
would be a blessed thing if they could succeed in
impressing upon young girls the desirableness of a
life of honest industry. He hoped that they might
be able to carry out still further what had been
done in the way of associating ladies with the clergy
in the work of densely-populated and poor parishes.
i Much might be done by sympathy in these great
works. But after all, the work would make very
little progress unless they carried it on as a religious
work, carried it out on Christian principles, and
upon the distinct understanding that they were
engaged in that great work which their Lord and
Master entrusted to them. Such a work undertaken
in this spirit, and in perference to what He ex-
pects, would certainly be blessed by Him ;
and, with
a view to give it a distinctly religious character, he
would beg of them all to make it constantly the
subject that a service in connection with the ladies'
association would take place in St. James's Church
on the sth of May.
The Rev. T. J. ROWSELL, rector of St. Mar-
garet's, Lothbury, pointed out many districts and
places where the services of lady visitors would •
be desirable. lie particularly instanced the dis-
trict of Whitechapel and Charing-cross Hospital,
the chaplain of which would be happy to receive
any lady visitors between five and seven o'clock -
in the evening, when the hospital was quiet.
Other hospitals where such visits would be appre-
ciated were Guy's and the London Hospital in the
Whitechapel-road.
A LADY said that two were at once required
for the Middlesex Hospital.
..
Mr. ROWSELL mid the xiorkhouse of St. George's-
in-the-East was still open, and admission might be
obtained to St. Pancras. Mr. Kempe, the rector
of St. James's ; Mr. Htunphery, vicar of St. Mar-
tin's, and other metropolitan clergymen, were very
anxious for assistance.

Many of the ladies present at once expressed
their willingness to undertake new spheres of duty,
although most of them, and many who were not
able to be present at the meeting, are already ac-
tively engaged in such work in the crowded and
pauperised districts of London. They work zea-
lously among the afflicted and the poor, and there
can be no doubt that their exertions are tho-
roughly appreciated wherever they go. Their num-
ber, however, must be greatly increased before the
wants of the .metropolis can be at all adequately
met.

The Burning of the Palace at Brunswick,

We have received details of the sad calamity at
Brunswick on Friday last, by which the palace was
nearly destroyed by fire. The old palace was
burned in 1830 during the disturbances which then
took place, and the building which has now met
with a like fate was erected to replace it by the
reigning duke. It was one of the handsomest
palaces in Germany.
The fire broke out at eight o'clock, soon after the
Court ball—an annual festivity—had commenced.
About half-past eight his Highness the Duke pro-
ceeded from his apartment to the dancing saloon,
and a short time afterwards the fire broke out
in his highness's study. It was at first thought
that the fire was not a serious one, and
by his highness's wish the ball was not interrupted.
Half an hour afterwards it was still thought that
the workmen and firemen would master the confla-
gration, and a great number of those present out-
side the building entertained the hope that the fire
would be confined to a few of the apartments. In
a short time, however, the smoke found its way into
the corridors, and even into the ball-room, whilst
suddenly the flames burst out of many windows in
the right wing of that portion of the palace inha-
bited by the duke. The serious nature of the cala-
mity was now unmistakable, and those who but a
few minutes before were engaged in the pleasures of
the dance were obliged to leave the palace with but
little ceremony. _ Ladies in their
_light ball-droves
And on foot were conducted by officers and other
visitors to the exterior of the building, where they
gained their carriages as best they could. The fire-
men hastened from all directions, but few imagined
how far the calamity would extend. There was a
want of water, for the small branch of the Oker,
which runs behind the palace, was frozen, and in
the palace itself there were no water-pipes.• Mis-
fortunes also befel the fire-extinguishing apparatus.
The hose burst, or would not reach far enough, and
in a very short time the whole of the right wing of
the palace was a sea of flame. Efforts were made
to prevent the fire spreading beyond this wing ; but
the fire found its way through the beams under the
roof and spread to the centre rotunda. In a short
time the ball-room was in flames. The orchestra
and the galleries fell together, and all eyes were
turned to the beautiful and noble " Quadriga" (a
handsome bronze chariot), the masterpiece of Reit-
schel and Howald, which high above adorned the
centre of the palace. Soon light in all colours was
seen to surround the noble work, for the melting
copper and other metals gave out blue, violet, and
other flames. During this time the fire roared, the
heavy beams fell with terrific crash, and the large
stones of which the building was composed split with
a loud noise as they became half-calcined with the
glowing heat. And now the Quadriga began to
slowly sink. It was seen to disappear by
degrees, and then suddenly to fall into the
midst of the rotunda. This occurred about
half-past eleven. The colossal group sank.
majestically, till at last the whole of the roof fell m
with it. The fire did not then extend any further;
but it raged frightfully in the interior of that part of
the palace which it had seized upon. The left wing
which was never
. thoroughly rebuilt,

rived from Hanover with the fire-engine belonging

to the Gymnastic Society at that place. On the next
day the fire was still burning, and occasionally
flames burst out of the windows ; but all danger of
an extension of the calamity was over. Of the right
wing of the palace, and the middle portion, only an
empty ruin remains, and from the fearful progress
with which the fire spread after a certain period, but
little of the valuable contents of the palace could be
saved.

this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined

For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassell, in his work, "Food and ita
Adulteratiora," says -"Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in is
1 breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined ilb., lib., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
all grocers, confectioners, and chemists.- [ADmi
