SABBATARIAN _HYPOCRISY.

Our public-spirited and entertaining content-
porary Puneh is doinr, good service to the cans e of
humanity and truth by his amusing exposures of
the groat Sabbatarian sham. This week, in addi-
tion to caustic comment and a minor illustration of
a refractory cherub taken up—off a, headstone by
a zoalous Sabbatarian official for blowing his
trumpet on a Sunday, we have an illustra-
tion on a large scAla of the Queen putting the sin-
cerity of the great gun of the Sabbatarians—the
Archbishop of Canterbury—on the music question
to the test. Her Majesty is represented in a
sitting posture, bringing au interview with that
most conscientious personage to a termination by
the remark, " Well, my Lord—then I suppose my
Sunday baud must be given up too ?" "Oh
de-ar," replies the smirking courtier, drooping his
eyes before the severe expression of his royal mis-
tress's countenanc?, " Oh de-ar no, your Majesty !
That's quite a different thing I "

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW AT PARIS.

PARIS, June 4.—We have now thorough Parisian
weather, and everybody hers seems to be making holy-
day. The Emperor has gone to Lyons for a few days
to inspect with his own eyes the damage done by the
recent floods, but the Agricultural Show was yesterday,
for the second time, graced by the presence of the Em-
press, who spent some time in walking about the gal-
leries, examining the various specimens of products which
are there displayed.
The Dutch collection is highly creditable, and the ex-
hibitors carry off 11 medals from the Exhibition.
Denmark takes a gold medal for the excellence of its
general collection. All the cereals, except oats, the
one which, we believe, she chiefly exports, are good.
Five medals only, and of the lower denomination, go
to the vegetable product exhibitors of Belgium. An
artificial guano, made frmn fish, and said to possess
siwiliar properties with Peruvian, is shown from this
country. The price stated is about £8 Bs. a ton, and it
is said to have its qualities so combined as to suit every
particular crop. The farmer in ordering his supply has
only to indicate the nature of his soil, the crop to be
raised, and the crop previously grown, and the manufac-
turer will then send him the article he needs. We are
console l to observe that the art of puffing art'ficial
nunures is not confined to our own country. Bavaria
takes a silver weds' for her small collection of products.

WESTMINSTER ANNIVERSARY.—This anniversary was
held last night, at' Willis's-roome, King-street, St.
James's—Mr. Bankes Stanhope, M.P., in the chair,
supported by the Marquis of Westminster, the Bishop
of Moray and Ross, Mr. Granville Harcourt, and others.
ENTERTAINMENT TO THE BISHOPS, AT THE MANSION-
HousE.—Last evening the Loid Mayor entertained the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the other members of the
episcopal bench, tegether with a large body of the clergy
both of the metropolis and the provinces, a a agniti•
cent dinner, in the B;yptian H Ma Ision-t hou m-ie.
INNIFKILLING DRAGOONS —The annual dinner of the
officers of the Inniseibing Dragoons' took place at the
Albion, Aldersgate-straet, on Tuesday evening. Among
the c impany present we observed Lord G. Lennox,
Hon. H. Cole, Hon. H. Rowley, Sir Edward Hutchin-
son. Sir W. Morshead, Sir K. James, Captain. Sutton,
Cintain Archdale, M.P., Mr. Watson, M.P.., Captain
Osb erne, Captain Barbor, &c.
A GREEN Rose.—Mr. W. IL Osborn, of Perry-Poet.
House, Perry Barr, Staffordshire, has at the present
time a perfectly green rose in fl ewer in his rose house.
The rose, called rosa verdiflora, is of a full rich green,
and is perhaps more interesting on account of its novelty
than for its beauty. A drawing of the flower has been
taken by Mr. Warne, of the Government School of Art,
Birmingham. The tree was procured from a French
nurseryman, and whether it will stand the severity of
our winters or not remains to be proved.
PRESENTATION TO THE REV. SIR WM. DUNE kR, rART.
—On Tuesday, the 3d inst., the younger members of the
congregation of St. Paul's Church, Camden New Town,
who have for some weeks past been under the instruc-
tion of the Rev. Sir Wm. Dunbar, Ba t., preparatory to
their being conSrmed, presented to their minister an
elegant silver claret jug, having the rev. gentleman's
crest engraven on it, accompanied with a letter express-
ing " their gratitude for the great pains and interest he
has taken in their behalf, and their trust at through
life his instructions will prove a blessing ttho them all."
We understand that the Rev. Sir Wm. Dunbar is not
the incumbent of the church, but that he has, since Sep-
tember last, been officiating there, under licence of the
Bishop of London, during the absence of the incumbent,
who left this country for the winter months, in conse-
quence of bad health.
TESTIMONIAL TO MR. GEORGE GODWIN,
acknowledgment of the assistance rendered in architec-
tural details in the representation of the " Winter's:
Tale," and other plays at the Princess's Theatre, Mr.
Kean has presented to Mr. Godwin an elegantly-designed
claret jag in silver, bearing the following inscription :
"To George Godwin, F.R.S., from Charles Kean, as a
slight token of the high appreciation entertained for va-
luable assistance in architectural details, while carrying
out the design of placing before the public correct histe-
rieal illustrations of Macbeth," Henry V111.,' and the
Winter's Tale,' produced in the years 1853, 1855, and
1856, at the Royal Piincess's Theatre, under Mr.
Charime Kean's management. May, 185 Q.” It is cre-
ditable to Mr: Kean that, having docided upon produc-
ing Shakepere's plays on certain principles of stage re-
, presentation, he has at least carried them out with great
effect, taking the best means of insuring accuracy in the
scenery, and in all the other details, by securing the aid
of competent authorities.
