CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAT.)—The Cabinet
Ministers assembled in council this afternoon at the Foreign
Oflice, Downing-street, at one o'clock. The Ministers pre-
sent were, the Noble Premier, Lord John Russell, the Mar-
quis of Lansdowne. the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of
Clanricarde, the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl
Grey, Lord Broughton de Gyfford, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, Sir George Grey, Sir Francis T. Baring, and the
Right Hon. Henry Labouchere. The Secretary-at-War
continues indisposed with an attack of gout, and was unable
to attend the Council. The Ministers were sitting when we
went to press.

ANNIVERSARY AT ST. PAUL'S.—Yesterday the
great annual meeting of the charity schools of the metropolis
was held in the cathedral, when between 3,000 and 4,000
scholars attended. The nobility and gentry were present
in great numbers, with a good sprinkling of foreign visitors.
At the commencement of the service, when the whole of the
children were seated, the edifice presented a spectacle such
as might be sought in vain at any other time or place. Be-
fore the prayers the 100th Psalm was sung by the whole of
the children ' • after the first lesson, " fe Deum" was excel-
lently given by the gentlemen of the choir; "Jubilate Deo"
following the second lesson. Then before the prayer for the
Queen was the magnificent Coronation Anthem, "Zadok the
Priest," by the gentlemen of the choir, the children joining
in the grand chorus, the whole having a most imposing effect.
The sermon was preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
who in impressive terms referred to the great blessings on
the junior members of the congregation who had been
brought together in that cathedral. The ceremonies closed
with the grand "Hallelujah Chorus" by the gentlemen of
the choir, and when the children joined their silvery voices
told with remarkable effect.
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, JUNE s.—The
demand for yarns to-slay has been tolerably large, with a
general stability as to prices, though some spinners were pre-
pared to operate at ;id. per lb. less for large orders. In the
goods market there has been considerable activity, and
shirtings have gone off at the prices of Tuesday.

stands upon the foundation of Blackfriars, where for centu-
ries Plantagenists, Yorkists, Lancastrians, and Tudors held
court. We have reason to believe that just about where we
sit was heard that famous case for annulling the marriage of
Catherine, which led to the English Reformation.— Times.
