and brotherly love. After hearing the 13th chap. of the Ist
Corinthians read, and receiving the blessing of the clergy..
man in whose district the meeting was held, the party broke
up, having enjoyed a most delightful evening, prepared to go
forth to their al!otted stations as those who desire ever to
bear in mind the apostolic injunction—To " honour all men,
love the hrotherhood, fear God, and honour the King."
When we see such happy results from
attention having been
paid to the moral and religious improvement of bargemen
and boatmen, we cannot but cordially wish success to the
efforts now making in Staffordshire and other quarters for
the benefit of this long neglected class ; and we do hope that
something effectual will be done this session of parliament to
put an end to Sunday labour on rivers and canals in every.
part of the kingdom, that a nun:emus and useful body, of our
countrymen may enjoy the privileges to which, as British
subjec they are so justly entitled.—Worcester Journal.

SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT

We feel extremely gratified by the kind and flattering

notice which our talented cotemporary, the Dublin
Evening Mail, has bestowed

upon the

Sketches"

which have recently appecired in the columns of the
STANDARD. The commendation of the leading Irish

Journal is no trifling compliment; and we are proud
to say, that the opinion of our coternporary, has been
echoed by many of our friends on this side the channel.

The series will of course be'continued, and we have no

doubt will increase in interest and importance. The
