perceive that a fancy sale, for the building and endow-
ment fund of the Aged Asylum of the Governesses' Be-
nevolent Institution, is to be held on the 20th and 21st
June, in the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, un-
der the patronage of her Majesty and the other members
of the Royal Family. The übject is to procure funds for
the erection of rooms for the general use of the asylum,
and to provide apartments in the asylum for ten aged
governesses. That the public will respond to the appeal
thus made to them we cannot for a moment doubt, and
we trust that the funds raised will be sufficient to enable
the committee to at once carry out their benevolent
object.

MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.—The late Mrs. Matthew-
man of Harrogate, whose death was recently announced,
has by her will directed the entire residue of her pro-
perty to be applied by her trustees in promoting within
the borough of Leeds Divine worship according to the
liturgy and usages of the Church of England. The
fund is to be administered at the discretion of her trus-
tees, with the sanction of she Bishop of Ripon, and is
expected to amount to about 25,0001. The trustees are
Mr. William Beckett, M.P., and Mr. John Atkinson of
Leeds. There is also a bequest in the same will of 1001.
to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The
deceased lady was a native of Leeds.
MORE CHARTIST ARRESTS AT BINGLEY.—ThrGe
more of the Chartists, engaged in the late riot and rescue
at Bingley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, were taken
from their beds early on Thursday 'morning last, and
committed to York Castle by Mr. W. B. Ferrand. One
of the prisoners was liberated on bail, and the others
were escorted by Mr. Ferrand, with six of his keepers
(armed with double-barrelled guns), and about 80 con-
stables, to the railway station, whence they were sent off
to York Castle. Two more men were taken into cus-
tody the same morning on the charge of throwing stones
and using threatening language to Mr. Thacker, ma-

SOCIETY FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPEL
IN FOREIGN PARTS.—The Rev. Ernest Hawkins, B.D
secretary of this society, has just issued a circular to the
members, with reference to its condition. During the
last four years, it appears, the annual expenditure has
been reduced from 80,0001. to little more than 60,0001.
This reduction has been effected without recalling or
diminishing the salary of a single missionary. First,
by the cessation of payments which had been guaranteed
for a limited time ; second, by the discontinuance of
grants towards the building of churches and schools ;
third, by withdrawing from the support of schools and
schoolmasters, more especially in the West Indies.
CRICRET.—The match between the South London
Club with Brockwell and Hinkly v. the Ashford Club
with Martingell and Pilch, terminated yesterday at
the Oval in favour of the South London, who won by
four wickets.—The match between the Marylebone Club
with two players v. the Surrey Club with two players,
was brought to a conclusion yesterday evening, just as
the clock was about to strike eight, by the Marylebone
Club being declared the victors by 40 runs.
SAFETY IN hAILwAY TRAVELLING.—We under-
stand, from good authority, that an attempt of rather
an extensive character is being made to enforce a reduc-
tion of the wages of the engine-drivers employed upon
the railways of this country. We deeply regret this, be-
cause it is upon the general good conduct and practical
knowledge of this most responsible and intelligent class
of men that the safety of the railway traveller in a great
measure depends. The directors who seek to save a
thousand per annum by the reduction of a shilling or
sixpence per day per driver will, in the course of a few
years, find a very heavy balance against them consequent
upon the damage, and perhaps—as has often been the
case—loss of life, occasioned by the employment of in-
efficient enginemen. We could, were it necessary,
direct attention to accidents involving immense destruc-
tion of railway stock and loss of life caused either by
over-worked or incompetent drivers, and we are quite
satisfied, from a thorough knowledge of the " cheap"
system, as applied to the management of railway traffic,
that a reduction of the present, to say the least, very
moderate wages paid to the engine-drivers of this country,
will be most dangerous to the public, sad the very oppo-
site of economical to railway companies. We hope that
we shall not have occasion to particularise the painful
details from which this our conviction is derived.—

Mass HAT..—Last week Miss Georgina Ilay,
youngest daughter of Lord James Hay, of South-park,
Aberdeenshire, took the veil at Paris, in the Convent of
the Assumption, Rue Chaillot, Champs Elysees. The
young novice, who is tall in stature, and bears a strong
family resemblance to her cousin, the Marchioness of
Douro, proceeded to the gates et the convent in bridal
attire, and demanded admittance. Having been received
by the superior and the nuns of the order (the latter
bearing • lighted tapers), she advanced through their
ranks to the cross-bearer and knelt down. After a
pause, spent
in prayer, the community preceded her, at
a solemn pace, into the chapel, chanting hymns. Each
nun repaired to her stall, and the novice occupied a seat
prepared for her at the foot of thef altar, when the usual
ceremony took place. She retired to the parlour of the
convent in the simple habit of a nun, crowned with a
wreath of white flowers, and received visits of congratu-
lation. Amongst those present on the interesting occa-
sion were the Duchess do Montmorency, the Dukes
de
Fitzjames and Talleyrand, together with several digni-
taries of the Catholic Church and members of the National
Assembly.
THE Alooßs.—To use a sporting phrase, one of
the great events of the season having come off success-
fully, sportsmen are enabled to calculate the chances of
success on their first
.fieal ld-da hatchin y on
.the moors, the 12th
of August. Thep rincipg of young grouse
usually takes place in the last week of May ; and
seldom have the little poults broken their shells
under more favourable circumstances than those of
the present year. With every assistance that genial
weather could afford, the parent birds remained on their
nests, undisturbed by gale or storm, save to stretch the
still wings, and pick a hasty meal of heather. Conse-
quently, in most places, every egg has produced its bird;
and we hear, on good authority, that in general the broods
contain nine or ten-14 have been counted in one covey,
but that is at least two brace beyond the average. Not
the slightest appearance of disease has been noticed
among the old grouse. The time is now past when it
commonly breaks out, and all those who have traversed
the hills speak to the fine healthy appearance of the
birds—rich in their glossy brown plumage, with scarlet
combs—as the old cocks show themselves strutting among
the heather, to decoy man or bast from the nog, ts, or
young broods.--inverness Courier.
