against all educational quae
cal' or theological opinion the
Lord R.- CECIL said,—Mr. Chairman, my Lord J.
Manners has dwelt most eloquently upon the various
dangers to which the Church is at present exposed,

and I think that its most sanguine supporters must
admit that the Church of England is now passing
through a very critical time, and that it was sur-
rounded with dangers on every side.; and not only'
that, but themost lamentable fact is that it is scarcely
less injured by the open assaults of its enemies
than by the lukewarmness of its .friends. -For all
these dangers the great, and, in point of fact, only,
remedy, in my opinion,is Church education among
the middle. classes of this country. '1 here has re-
cently been set up a Church Defence Association--
a very admirable institution, and the objects of
which deserve our • warmest support and deepest
sympathy. •At the same time I say that tho best
of all Church defence associations are such institu-

tions as the Colleges of St. Nicholas and St. John.
(Cheers.)' I say that there is no hope for the
Church of England, speaking of her merely as a
temporal institution—no hope fLrher as an establish-
ment, unless the middle classes, whom she has lost,
can be reclaimed. Mr. Woedward's attention was
first drawn to this matter by the state of the con-
gregations among whom he laboured, and among
all the classes of English society with which he
was brought into contact he saw ,that the Church
of England in-past times had done her duty possibly
quite enough to two classes of the community.
She had not neglected the aristocracy, possibly she
had attended to them too much; neither had she
negleted her poor; but following her truest mission
—the spiritual' welfare of the poor—she had
neglected the middle classes, until the middle
classes became totally estranged from' her
code; and inasmuch as the middle classes
have .become the .real depositories of tem-
poral power, it is '`obvious thar'ihc temporal
influence of re ChUrch of England over the midas
classes was at an "etrdArnless those middle classes
could be brought to support her. "(Hear.) Many
believe that the dangers which have been spoken
of are mere transient dangers, which will pass
away, and they say that the Church rests upon an
authority higher than that of man, and that though
in-the inscrutable decrees of Providence troubles
are permitted to afflict the Church, yet in the end
she will become triumphant. That may be true,
but it does not follow that Churehmen are to be
apathetic when danger besets the Church. On the
contrary, they ought to take every means to avert
it. In no other way can we avert that danger so
easily as by educating the middle classes to sound
Church pruiciples, and therefore I think that every
institution established with that view confers a
lasting blessing upon the Church of England.
(Cheers.)

The meeting was subsequently rddreszed by Mr.
Beresford Hope, the Rev-. Mr. Woodward, the
Provost of the College, and by other gentlemen,
and the proceedings terminated.

AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £6O.

A very fine scullers' race came off on Saturday
afternoon, over the old established above-bridge
course, from Putney Aqueduct to the Ship at Mort-
lake. The competitors were Joseph Wise, of Kew,
and William Hemmings, of Richmond, of whom we
would like to say a few words before proceeding to
an account of the race. Wise is now about 22 years
of age, and began his career in 1858, when he won
the coat and badge, the annual gift of the Leander
Club, from Westminster to Putney, beating Stephen
Salter (with whom he rowed throughout a fine race)
and several other good men. He entered for the
Scullers' Race in outriggers, open to the world, in
the Royal Thames National Regatta, at Putney this
year, and won the race easily, defeatine. Chandler,
of Hammersmith ; Thomas Pocock, of Lambeth ;
John Mackinney, of Richmond; and Benjamin
Oxlade, of Pam s-wharf. He was next matched
against Walter Bell, of Richmond, and they rowed
from Putney to Mortlake for £3O a side. Bell soon
went ahead, and there seemed not a shadow of a
chance for Wise till in Corney Reach Bell, who
was many lengths ahead, suddenly lost the use, it
is said, of his left wrist, and was obliged to resign
the contest. Wise evidently did not row so well
here as had been expected, but was immediately
afterwards backed against Hemmings. The latter
came out at the Royal Thames National Regatta
this year. He rowed for and won the coat and
badge annually presented to the Regatta Committee
by the Thames Subscription Club, which is ever
ready to promote the interests of rowing. In his
final heat he was opposed to young John Clasper,
of Newcastle, who was fain to succumb to Hem-
mings; and us the Richmond party have never
been backward in bringing out a man, and as it
was apparent that Hemmings was a very fast and
beautiful sculler. he was readily backed against
Wise for £3O a-side. They rowed on Thursday
fortnight, and Hemmings, who had the best place
on the Middlesex shore, went away with the lead
and held it to Crown Cottage, when Wise coming
up .Aemmings crossed him, and had Wise's umpire
claimed the foul his man would have won the race.
The contest was, however, allowed to proceed, and,
after several more fouls, Hemmings took the fore-
most position, which he kept throughout. As the
foul , however, had not been claimed, Mr. Salter,
the referee, on being appealed to decided that the
race should be rowed again. We had omitted to
state that Hemmings is not yet 19, and not above
half the size of his opponent, but his pace at start-
ing and his confidence are so great that he was
backed ex this occasion at 5 and 6to 4. There was
no steamboat in company, but a large number of
people assembled at Putney and along the course.
Mr. Salter was again (much against his will) ap-
pointed referee, and the umpires were Harry Kelley
for Wise and Tom Mackinney for Hemmings. They
were accompanied by cutters, which conveyed these
necessary officers. Hemmings again won the toss
and went to the Middlesex side, both competitors
looking very sanguine and well. They were off in
a moment, Hemmings going away, as the Yankees
would say, like a " greased flash of lightning." So
rapid was he that he had soon cleared his boat, and
at the end of half a mile was rowing well ahead.
Wise was pulling, however, beautifully astern, and
here began to come up, but his hardy little oppo-
nent gained still more very shortly, and at the Crab
Tree was leading by three lengths. Wise now be-
gan to overhaul him rapidly, and nearing Hammer-
smith-bridge came level with his opponent, and
while in this position they fouled accidentally.
Hemmings was first away, and after more fouls
and two or three changes Wise took the lead at
Chiswick and came in full 100 yards ahead. Both
umpires claimed the first foul, but Mr. Salter, very
properly, decided that Wise had won the race fairly
upon his merits.

[ADTERTISEMENT.—HoIIoway's Ointment; and Pills.
Rheumatism, Gout, Tic-doloreux.—Scarcely a week passes
without our seeing or hearing of sonic friend stricken by
these agonising maladies. The pain is situated in the joints,
muscles, or nerves, whence it may be driven by fomenting
well with warm salt and water; awl, after drying the skin,
let it be well rubbed twice a day with Holloway's soothing
ointment, which should also be rubbed into the neighbour-
hood into the neighbouring glands. It is always advisable
to take Holloway's Pills in these disorders, as they much
assist the Ointments action. The pills check fever, purify
the blood, and eject all morbid matters engendered by these
diseases. Not only will all pain cease, but the cause of these
maladies will be dislodged.
