A LABORING MAN'S NOTION OF PAYING POOR-RATES.
—On Friday, at the Manchester Borough Court, an old
man of the labouring class, appeared to want Mr.
Maude to interfere to obtain him relief from the overseers,
of which he said he stood so much in need ; but after
hearing his statement, Mr. Maude told him he had no
power in the matter, and advised him hlw to proceed to
bring his case under the notice of the Manchester board
of guardians. The following dialogue then took place :
Applicant: Well, but I've paid t' poor-rates and king's
taxes these thirty years, you know.—Mr. Maude I
cannot interfere ; you must apply to the guardians.—
Applicant : Well, but I always thowt, when I paid t' poor
rate, that I wur putting my money in a sort o' savings
bank like. (Laughter.)—Mr. Maude : That's rather a
new idea.—Applicant : I think it's rather hard, after live
paid t' rates for so many years, and now I want it, I can't
get it.---Mr. Maude: I'm afraid, my good man, there are
many of us who pay more into that sort of savings bank
than we was only after repeated assurances that
the magistrates had no power, that the old man withdrew,
apparently much astonished at the unsuccessful result of
his application.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—One of those outrages on
the proprieties of divine worship occurred at Ilkeston, on
Sunday morning last, in the Wesleyan chapel, which are
at all times a drawback upon religion, and especially a
discredit to their immediate perpetrators. It appears that
the Rev. A. Hume is so unpopular in
the Ilkeston cir-
cuit, through his combative propensities, in uncere-
moniously expelling members from the society, reading
what the people call the " Riot Act," from the pulpits,
and continually " breathing out threeenings against all
that shall oppose his authority," that the Wesleyans of
Ilkeston determined to hold public service in the old
chapel, in order to give him a view of his unpopularity.
About ten o'clock, while the teachers and scholars were
busily engaged in the duties of their large and flourishing
Sunday school, Mr. Hume entered the chapel, and mail
for the singers' pew, in which both the superintendents
happened to be at the time. After some parleying, he told
them he was come to preach. They replied, he could not,
and should not. He then tried to pull up the benches, to
gain possession of the pulpit ; but in that attempt he
failed. He then began to address the scholars, but the
scholars made noise to drown his voice. Foiled at every
point, he left the place for the new chapel, saluted by the
hootings of the more thoughtless part of the populace:—
