ST. MATTHEW'S, SCOTLAND-ROAD. - Tuesday and

Cooke as the anniversary days of the Sunday and daily
schools in connexion with the above church, nearly 200

assembled on the occasion. At a quarter before ten

na:atined the Chinese junk, which eieited much in-
terest among both children and parents. They then
proceeded to New Ferry, where a large field had

been secured, and every arrangement made for their re-
coption, Here they spent the day in various treats and
games, and were regaled with plentiful supplies of buns and
milk. .After partaking of tea in the open air, the party
returned in safety, having spent a most agreeable
day. On Wednesday evening, the teachers and children
were entertained at-tea in the school•roorns, which were
tastefully adorned for the occasion. At the conclusion of
the tea, a most interesting scene took place as the various
prizes, which were both numerous and valuable, were.
presented, with suitable addresses, by the Rev. H. Cooke,
to the successful pupils in the schools. It would be diifi-
cult_ to convey an adequate idea of the great results
which, within the limited period of six months, by the
well-directed exertions of the Rev.. Henry Cooke, have
been achieved ; but those who remember what this
district was, and are made aware of what it now is, will
be satisfied that the improvement has been as great as it
is gratifying. This improvement is not less manifest in
the spiritual condition than in the physical well-being of
the district.

EFFECT OF KEEPING TIIE PLEDGE YOB TWELVE
Morirns.—Mary Logan, the wife of a labourer at the
Albert Docks, residing in No. 12 Court, Ennerdale-street,
a year ago pledged herself to be a teetotaller for one year.
The term of torture, for such it proved to her, terminated
on Friday week, when she repaired to the public-horse,
and became so intoxicated that she was obliged to be
carried home. Every day since then the same result fol-
lowed, from her evident intention of making up for lost
time, until Wednesday, when she became ill complaining
of a burning in her stomach. A surgeon (Mr. Whittle)
was called in, but she gradually sank and died on Thurs-
day afternoon. According to the evidence of her mother-
in-law, the deceased and her husband had lived comfort-
ably together, and no dispute had occurred between them;
but a neighbour (Henry Morecroft) deposed that, on the
night before Logan's death, he heard her moaning, and,
knocking at the wall, he asked what was the matter. The
deceased replied that she was very.bad, and asked him to
go in and see, her. He then went to her house, and found
her lying on the bed with her clothes on. She told him
that "Jem," meaning her husband, "got her down and
put his knee on her, and crashed her," and that she
should not get over it. Mr. Whittle, who had made
an examination of the body, in compliance with the orde
of the coroner, stated that death had been caused b
flammation of the stomach, which

the absenc4e of

marks of violence, he was of opinio

ARRIVAL OF THE MAittAx..Moo

Mick Ball Line, arrived here on Thursday,
whence she sailed on the 24th of April, called at Pernam-
buco 20th June, and sailed again 22nd, making the pas-
sage from there in 27 days, and from Melbourne (including
the two days' detention) in 89 days, She has a full cargo
of flour, wool, &c., 112 passengers, 36,000 ounces of gold—
valued at about £144,000. Although her dates have been
anticipated by the steamer Golden Age, it is gratifying to
know that the Marian Moore has beaten several London
ships that sailed before her, including the Prince Alfred,
the Nelson, and others: This is another proof of the
superiority of the Liverpool ships over our metropolitan,
competitors ; and it is still further to the credit of the
port that the Marian Moore was built here by rjessr.s Cato,
Miller and Co. By this vessel the first extensive shipment
of of Australian wool direct to this port has coirlf: 131 an
the Indian Queen and succeeding ships of the. Black
