THE LATE EARL POWIS

4th Dec

At the CI

ster Cathedral, on Sunday evening last, Mr.
Gunton introduced the anthem by playing, in his own
style, " The Dead March in Saul," in honour of the

nemory of

lowing

he late Earl Fowls, and selected the to
anthem out of Handel, founded on Job axis. 11—
" When the ear heard him, then it blessed him ;. and
when the eye saw him, it gave witness of him.

" He delivered the poor that
him that had none to help him

ess, and

" Kindness, meekness, and comfort were in his tongue :
if there was any virtue, and if there was any praise, he
thought on those things."

All who knew and could appreciate the excellent quali-
ties of the lamented earl, considered Mr. Gunton peculiarly
happy in his selection of a suitable anthem, the perform-
ance of which was such as to be equally gratifying to the
music of the ear, and the devotion of the heart, and will
not soon be effaced from the memories of those present.

LOCAL CHARITIES-SEASONABLE OFFER

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Sir,—lt is painful to be hourly addressed by persons in
apparently deep distress, while unable sufficiently to help
them, or to refer the applicants to the worthy managers
of our local charities, seeing that their funds—as the
press informs us—are nearly exhausted.
In such times, " England expects every man to do his
duty."

The writer is perhaps " Vox et preterea nihil," but
what he possesses he cheerfully tenders. If two or three
evening's exertion in the form of " Hours of Shakspeare,"
or selections from other authors, be likely to find such
support as would benefit the institutions, I am at the
service of the authorities. _

Enclosed is a programme of readings given at Bath—
for suggestion, though it is likely that- dramatic pieces
would be more generally attractive

[The enclosure to which Mr. Read alludes, contains
several selections from Milton, Cowper, and other English
classic authors. We have no doubt that Mr. Read's
benevolent offer will be promptly responded to.]

brought before Mr. Rushton for this offence, which has
become very frequent, especially on Sundays in the out-
skirts of the town. They were each fined half-a-crown.
MR. TATHAM'S PORTRAIT OF THE REV. DR. WNEILE.
We have been much delighted by a sight of the beautiful
print of Dr. M` Neile, taken from Mr. Tatham's portrait,
which attracted so much admiration during the period of
its exhibition at Mr. Burland's Gallery of Art, Church-,
street. We can unhesitatingly assert, that no portrait of
the Rev. Doctor has ever yet been produced, in which all
the characteristics of his countenance and general bearing
have been so faithfully pourtrayed, and we can strongly
recommend all admirers to make an early application
for good impressions. We hear that it is to be obtained
at Mr. Tatham's studio, 5, Colquitt-street, and of Mr.
Burland, Church-street.
