PLAISTOW d; VICTORIA DOCK MISSION.
The prayers and offerings of Churchmen arc solicited in aid
of an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu-
lated district around the Victoria Docks.
Within the last few years the formation of a portion of these Docks
and other causes have added a population of about 4,000 souls to the
spir tual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A new
town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad-
joining the river Thames, totally undrained. and intersected by
stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district
will rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number
and habith of its population. •
It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these
newly-congre.gated masses, and to increase their staff as circum-
stance+ may render necessary. Another generation must not be
left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is
not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, but to find the
means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man,
woman. and child in the district, to endeavour to bring all within

the fold of our rational Church, 'to instruct them according to her
formularies. and to preserve them in the communion of her faith
and worship.

Ragged ,chools have been tried, elrewhere with success. Why
not try Ragged Churches in School-rooms? We propose, therefore,
in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROM THE PRATER.
BO in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of the untaught/poor
with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments.
The Lord Bishop of London has given his cordial sanction to the
work, and has undertaken, at the earnestsolicitation of the promot-
ers of the mission, to select the clergy, when fonds are provided.
To aid us in our difficult task special don tions are required for
the neeesary outlay for Missionsry Stations, Schools, Br.,c. ; and also
reaular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of
teachers, clerical and lay.

It is in-tended at an early data to submit the scheme to a general
meeting.

Further particulars will be given by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh,
Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow; Antonio Brady, Esq., Mary-
land Point, Stratford, Essex, Treasurer; or the Rev. Alfred W.
Mason, Stratford-preen, by whom donations or subscriptions for five
years will be thankfully received; or at the Bank of Coutt= and Co.,
59, Strand ; or Messrs. Dimsdale and Co., 50, Cornblll, to the ac-
count o: the Plaistow and Victoria Dock Mission.

Assizes of the Seine for the murder, followed by robbery,
of two women, one at Corbeil, in 1851, and the other re-
cently, in the Rue de Charenton, underwent the sentence
of the law on Monday morning, at eight o'clock, on the
Place de la Roquette. A. great crowd bad assembled,
and a large force of military and police was stationed
round the place to preserve order. The prisoner, who
was perfectly resigned to his fate, acted throughout with
the greatest firmness. He attended the chapel, and
conversed for some time with the chaplain. Richeux,
who bad hitherto refused to answer any questions re-
specting other crimes of which he was suspected, expressed
his readiness at the last moment to submit to any inter-
rogatory. He was subjected to a short examination by
the commissary of police, and replied to the ques-
tions with the greatest dearness. When the execrt-
tionera had completed the " toilette," and were binding
his arms behind his back, he said that they were giving
themselves unnecessary trouble, as he would rather fly
to meet death than try to avoid it. He desired that
the few clothes which be left should he given to some
poor prisoners. He ascended the scaffold with firmness,
and in a moment all was over. •
