REFUSAL OF THE CITY UNION CHAP-

LAIN TO RESIGN HIS OFFICE.

Yesterday, at a numerously attended meeting of
the board of guardians of the City of London Union,
Mr. E. R. Rigby, one of the vice-chairmen, presid-
ing, the question as to the state of the chaplaincy
of the union was brought before the guardians.
At the former meeting of the board, on the 16th
inst., a communication from the Poor Law Board
to the Rev. F. P. Pocock, the chaplain of the union,
calling upon him to resign his office, was laid be-
fore the guardians, and the clerk was directed to
call a special meeting of the board as soon as the
resignation should have been received.
Mr. SAUNDERS now inquired whether the chap-
lain had sent in his resignation.
The CLERK (Mr. Bowring) replied in the nega-
tive, and stated that he had received no further
communication on the subject.
Several of the guardians expressed their great
dissatisfaction at the conduct of the Rev. Mr.
Pocock, and the clerk was ultimately directed to
send the following letter to the Poor Law Board :
" 51, St. Mary-axe, Oct. 23, 1860.
" Sir,—l am directed by the Board of Guardians
of the City of London Union to inform you that
the Rev. F. P. Pocock, the chaplain of the union
workhouse, has not complied with the request con-
veyed to him on the 15th inst., to tender his resig-
nation of his office.

" The state of the chaplaincy is so unsatisfactory
as to induce the guardians to request the Poor-law
Board to declare the office vacant, that they maybe
in a position to proceed at once with the election
of a successor to Mr. Pocock.

" I an, sir, your obedient servant.
" JOHN BOWRIS G, Clerk.
11. Fleming, Esq., Poor-law Board, Whitehall."
The Board soon afterwards adjourned.

AN ADVENTUROUS FISHING SMACK.—Durin,,,,,
,
the fearful hurricane at the beginning of this month a little
smack was lying at anchor in of harbour. The
crew were all on shore,
and in the height.he storm the
sloop dragged her anchors and was carried out into deep
water. Away she went across the Minch, flying before the
wind, and soon neared the mainland in the north-west of
Ross-shire. The coast was bold,
rocky, and dangerous ; but
between two gruff headlands was a quiet bay, with a fine
shelving beach, into which the smack entered as steadily as
if she had been under the command of a skilful pilot and
an undaunted crew. The anchors struck the beach at a
favourable point, the ship swung round to the gale, and
there, on a lee shore, redolent the:storm, without having
suffered the least distress or accident during her inde-
pendent trip across the Dlihch without a crow.—.lnverness
