YORK.

A numerous meeting was held on Friday, in the
Guildhall, York, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of forming a volunteer
rifle corps for that city and neighbourhood. The
Lord Mayor presided. •
A resolution in conformity with the object of the
meeting having been proposed and seconded,
Mr. BEAUMONT opposed the movement, which, he
said, had originated with Lord Derby and his
Cabinet.
Mr. R. SNOWDEN contended there was no reason
why they should Lot place confidence in the faith-
fulness of the Emperor of the French.
Mr. S. W. NORTlldenied that this was a political

movement, and he energetically supported the for-
mation of a rifle corps.
Afer observations from other speakers, the reso-
lutioa was put and declared to be carried, although
there was a large limber of hands held up against
it, the amendment which was proposed, to the effect
that no rifle corps be formed, having been lost.
The LORD MAYOR said he had had offers from
men of high station and position—men who had
served in our armies with glory to themselves and
to their country—offers from men of all ranks, who
said they believed the time had come when they
ought to do something for the protection of their
country. (Applause.)
A committee was appointed to carry out the ob-
ject in view.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL UPON CHURCH
ARCHITECTURE.

On Saturday the annual meeting of the City
Auxiliary Society to the London Missions was held
at the City of London Tavern, to receive the report
of the committee, and on other business.
Lord J. Russell was called to the chair.
Mr. J. HOARE, M.P., said that, as there was no
regular repoi',`,, he begged to state a few facts in
connection with the auxiliary society. Last year
there were only 18 city missionaries within the city
boundaries, and the amount subscribed for their
support was £546, being about £3O a year for each
missionary. It was under these circumstances that
fais auxiliary society had been established, the
object of which, among other things, was to supply
the other 11 districts within the city boundaries
not already supplied with missionaries with teachers
of the Word of God, and also to supply the districts
bordering on the city with missionaries to teach the
Gospel to those who would not otherwise receive
its belefits. Well, the auxiliary society had during
the past year raised £1,200, which sum was not
only equal to the payment of the salaries of the
existing city m's:_,7.onaries, but also to enable the
society to add five missionaries to the number al-
ready in existence, in the confident belief that the
whole of the missionaries would do mueh to pro-
mote the knowledge of God among the poor living
within the boundaries of the city. The hon. gentle-
man referred to the districts of Shoreditch and St.
George's-in-the-East, and said it was a fr.3t that
very few of the inhabitants of those localities went
to church on either the morning or the evening of
the Sabbath-day, as was proved by the statistics of
the census Sunday. He might add that the parent
society of this auxiliary had received during the
past year £35,798, and in connection with the
parent society there were 363 missionaries, all of
whom were usefully employed in promoting the
knowledge of God among the poor at their own
homes.

Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not his intention
to intrude upon their attention to explain the ob-
jects of this society—that was before the world in
the proceedings of the society—but what he wished
to say was that of all the objects they could
have in view that now under consideration was
most pre-i-2eworthy. It was all very well to raise
charities in connexion with the established religion
and places of worship for Dissenters ; but still they
would fall short of the purpose contemplated by
their erection, if they had not such means as that
proposed by this auxiliary society to induce the poor
to visit them. They had recently erected splendid
churches—one, he understood, cost no less than
£60,000, and they had also Dissenting places of
worship, ample and commodious, to suit the require-
ments of all desirous of visiting them; but still it
was, he believed, a fact that the poor were not seen
in any very great numbers in these places of wor-
ship. (Hear, hear.) He had often diFeussech with
clergymen of the Church of England and with Dis-
senting ministers this question of the absence of the
poor from places of worship, and the conclusion that
seemed to be arrived at was that the poor did not
like to come into contact with the luxury that was
to be met with in places of worship. (Hear, hear.)
He wished they could resort to the simplicity of
early times. Thc-y were told by an early writer, a
Pagan, that when the early Christians were brought
up charged with certain crimes the answer 'they
gave to these citarges was that they sung hymns to
Christ, that they met together, and inculcated
among each other religious and moral virtue, and
read good bc3ks to one another. (Hear.) Nothing
could be more simple or more likely to lead to a
belief in the doctrines of the Gospel than such a
course of proceeding as this ; but now the persons
who resorted to churches seemed to be dressed in
such a manner as to shame, as it were, the rags of
the poor. (Hear, hear.) A Dissenting Minister at
Brighton adopted a very good proceeding to attract
the attention of the poor in a locality in that town
to the preaching of the Gospel. He read the Scrip-
tures, and exhorted the people on religious subjects,
and the poor people were seen to put their heads
out of the window to listen to the rev, gentleman's
exhortations. Well, now, as the poor would not go
to the churches to hear the word of God, it was
desirable that they should have the Gospel
preached to them in places where they could hear
it. This necessity was supplied by the London
City Mission. That is to say, the missionaries
visited the poor at their dwellings, and exhorted
them to attend places of worship, and that they did
in a most impartial manner, for they advised them
to attend those places of worship to which they
belonged. (Hear.) It must be confessed that, not-
withstanding the freedom which all persons enjoyed
in respect to religion in this country, there were
great masses of people who were wholly unac-
quainted with the elementary truths of religion.
(Hear, hear.) Now, if there were rooms or build.
ings where the people might meet and have the
Gospel preached to them, much could be done for
their benefit.

Mr. BEVAN moved a resolution to the effect that
the success that had attended the operations of the
society was highly gratifying to its friends.
The Rev. Dr. M'CAur. seconded the resolution,
which was supported by Mr. S. GURNEY, and the
resolution was agreed to.
Mr. R. CHARLES moved the next resolution,
which stated that, while the meeting approved the
'efforts made for the religious instruction of the
poor in the city, they were of opinion that the
labours of the missionaries ought to be extended to
the poor a short distance from the boundaries of
the city. Mr. Charles referred to the state of the
poor in the Tower Hamlets, and said that missionary
labours were much required in that district.
Mr. CHAMBERS, the Common Sergeant, in sup-
porting the resolution, said that it was only by the
teaching of the poor in the way proposed by the
society that they could reach their hearts and un-
derstandings.

Mr. J. PAYNE supported the resolution, which
was unanimously adopted.

On the motion- of Mr. G. MOORE, seconded by
Mr. COLE, the thanks of the meeting were given
to the noble chairman, who subscribed £lO towards
the funds of the society, and the meeting then
separated.

FATAL SHIPWRECK-TWENTY-THREE

LIVBS LOST.

The ship Lady Head, 850 tons burthen, homewtrd
bound, from Rangoon to Liverpool, has been totally
lost near the mouth of the Kroome River, in the neigh-
bourhood of the Cape of Good Hope, and we regret
to say all hands, with the exception f three seamen,
perished with the ship. A letter sent to Lloyd's
by the magistrate at Numansdorp, giving the
intelligence, states that the catastrophe took place
on the 20th of April. The ship, it appears, was
laden with rice. She left Rangoon on the 24th
of February, her crew numbering twenty-six. The
captain had on board his wife and child. About
the 18th of April they sighted land, when they
stood off, and soon lost sight of it. The next day
it came on to blow a heavy gale, with hazy thick
weather, which continued the following day,
when about four a.m. the captain . discovered
he was fast driving on to a lee shore. All hands
were called to wear ship, but she refused,an about
captain
five o'clock the ship struck the rocks, and almost
immediately became a total wreck. The

similar fate, with the exception of three,named
Charles Parrett, Henry Gray, and another, who
succeeded in reaching the rocks in safety, although
they were much bruised and injured. The only
bodies found were the captain's wife and child,
which were interred in the sands the resident
magistrate reading the burial service. The ship
and cargo were only partially insured.

7'HE LATE FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL
EXPLOSION AT PORSTMOUTH.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.

An inquiry was opened last evening before Mr.
Cooper, the borough coroner, at the New York
Tavern, on view of the body of one of the sufferers,
in the Eastern Monarch, Charles Edward Frickey,
a child, son of the bandmaster of the 98th Regt.
Captain Morris, the Captain of the Eastern
Monarch, was present, and the proceedings excited
much interest.

The body having been viewed,
Stephen Milton, a private in the 70th Regiment
of Foot, examined. He said--I was an invalid on
board the Eastern Monarch, and embarked at
Kurrachee on the 22d of February, for England.
The deceased was under the care of myself and wife.
Last saw the child about two o'clock that morning.
He slept in the after part of the main deck in a
hospital cot with my wife. I slept in the fore part
of the main deck. About half--past two o'clock this
morning I was awoke by a Loud report like the
shock of an earthquake or th e explosion of gun-
powder. I have felt the shock of an earthquake.
I dressed myself and ran to my wife and family to
get them on deck. She was in the act of getting
out of bed, and she told me the child was nearly
dead. There was a strong smell of gunpowder on
deck. The child was not conscious. I took him
on deck and then found that he was nearly dead.
The child died in about two minutes after I got on
deck. I showed him to Dr. Kidd, the medical
officer. I then attended_ to my wife and children,
lowering them over the side hato a boat.
By the Coroner—Did not perceive the flames
issuing up in the after part of the ship until about
three quarters of an hour aftex I heard the report.
Coroner—Did anything particular happen during
the voyage to attract your notice
Witness—On the passage home, when on the
other side of the equator, on the fore hatches
being opened, some bags of flax or hemp seed
(whatever it was) became heated. It was found
congealed in lumps, and was very hot. It was
brought on deck and dried, and afterwards stowed
away again in the ship. It was stirred about like
malt. It was not thrown overboard. It was on
deck Several days. It was stowed in bags made of
cocoa-nut fibre. All the boats of the ship were
lowered after the explosion.
Coroner—Was captain Morris active in his
exertions ?
Witness—Yes, I saw him in a small boat round
the ship.
Mr. Kidd, M. 8., of Trinity College, Dublin, said,
I am assistant-surgeon of the 37th Regiment, and
had charge of the invalid detachments on board
the Eastern Monarch. I remember the heating of
the seed. It happened about three weeks after
leaving Kurrachee. I saw it on the forecastle ;it
was in lumps, and when they were broken they
were hot inside. From its appearance I should sal
it had been wet. I understood it was returned to
the hold. It was in cocoa-nut fibre bags. Nothing
occurred from that time until the unfortunate
catastrophe. I went to bed last night between half-
past nine and 10. I returned on deck between 12
and 1, during the casting of the anchor, and went
to my cabin agai-1 at one. I fell asleep, and was
aroused by an explosion—a smothered explosion,
and shivering of the ship, exactly like an earth-
quake. I was hurled out of my cot. I went into
the cuddy, and-felt great distress from the fumes
coming up from below, and was almost blinded
by the sparks and smoke. Cannot say that the
fumes were those of gunpowder. I could not
detect any sulphureous smell. The side of my
cabin was driven in, and a piano which stood near
the door was shivered. My first impression was
that the ship had been struck with lightning. I
perceived sparks,:but:no flames. Did not see anyone
smoking. The next time I went into my cabin I
observed flames between decks. Saw the deceased
half an hour after the occurrence. Believed that
the chilli died from suffocation, from the fumes
which affected me. I should think an hour elapsed
after the explosion before the whole of the aft part
of the ship was in flames. It was two hours and a
half before we left the ship.
The Coroner inquired of Captain Morris whose
duty it was to see that the lights were put out.
Captain Morris said they had a strict watch.
The sergeant-major, sergeants, and, indeed, the
whole of the watch attended to that duty. Drell
light in the cuddy was put out at 10 o'clock. it
would have been impossible for any light to have
been taken into the hold without its being seer"
Mr. Ryder, the third mate, had charge of the hold
under the direction of the chief mate, during the
passage.
The Coroner said it was very desirable that they
should have the evidence of the several officers of
the ship, and other parties who could furnish infor-
mation. It was It matter which demanded the
fullest investigation, and he therefore proposed on
adjourn anent.
The proceedings were accordingly adjourned,
Capt. Morris undertaking to produce the officers.
The inquest on the bodies removed to Haslar
Hospital had not been held up to this (Saturday)
evening. There are several persons in the hospital
who were passengers in the ship, and have sus-
tained serious injury.
The number of persons known to have perished
is seven • but it is feared that that is not the extent
of the calamity. A private in the 52d, named Hill,
an invalid, has lost his wife and infant ; and the
latter, it is presumed, was burnt in the veesel. The
other sufferers were—H. Foster, a soldier in the
52d; Miss Maher, daughter of the colour sergeant
of the 70th; Ann Smith, daughter of a private in
the 87th ; H. Mills, son of a corporal in the 52d ;
and C. Frickey, son of the bandmaster of the 98th.

modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for, during

efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated,
by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life,
that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im-

These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement
during their use, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part.
