The Queen has written to the Mayor of Birmingham respecting the dreadful accident to the “Female Blondin" in the Aston Park. Her Majesty expresses her pain and “personal feel. ings of horror," and remarks on the demoralizing taste for such performances, and on the degradation of the park, which the Prince Consort had opened for such different purposes to such exhibi. tions. The Queen's letter has been followed by another from the Home Secretary to the directors of Aston Park, who lamely excuse themselves. Mr. Newman Hall has published a long and strong remonstrance to the editors of “Good Words," " The Evangelical Magazine,” and other religious periodicals which have admitted the advertisement from the clergy of the Confederate States. He thinks that, notwithstanding the license allowed in the case of advertisements, it does not extend to vindicating of slavery, Southern slavery especially, any more than to advertisements in favour of infidelity and licentiousness. To us the document referred to appears calculated to produce but one impression on moderately intelligent Christians - that American slavery, like some other awful crimes, can entirely subvert the moral judgment of those who are guilty of it. We can hardly, however, justify the insertion of such a frightfully false, pharisaical, and unchristian paper, even as an advertisement, without some indication on the part of the editor of his judgment respecting it. Our brethren of the German Baptist Mission have just held their sixth Triennial Conference at Hamburg. Interesting accounts of the meetings appear in The Freeman. We have only room here to state that the mission is being spiritually much blessed, though suffering severely from the want of funds. During the last three years 4,658 persons have been baptized; and there has been a clear increase in the membership of the churches during that time of 3,367. The present number of members is 11,275. Nine new churches have been formed during the three years, and 327 stations established for preaching the Gospel. The English churches were represented at the conference by the Revs. F. Trestrail and W. Walters, and by several other friends. Mr. Henry Grattan Guinness has become a Plymouth Brother, and has renounced the title “Reverend." The Londonderry Standard says,“Having relinquished for the time the Baptist communion, Mr. Guinness has now commenced in this country a propagandist mission in connection with the Plymouth Brethren,' to whom he had attached himself in Canada, as our readers are aware, and during the last week or two he has been addressing meetings in Belfast, for the seeming purpose of holding up Presbyterians to the contempt of the religious public, as a set of the worst heathens he has ever met with under the guise of professing Christians.” We hear that the University of Chicago has conferred the honorary degree of D.D. on the Rev. J. Aldis, of Reading. The University of Rochester has also conferred the degree of LL.D. on Mr. E. B. Underhill. Mr. Aldis, in a letter to The Freeman, expresses his wish that the title of Doctor may not be given to him by his friends. WORCESTER. - The memorial - stone of a new Baptist chapel was laid in Worcester on Tuesday, July 28th. The principal contributor is Mr. E. B. Evans, of Whitbourne Hall, one of the partners in the wealthy firm of Hill, Evans, and Co., of the Worcester Vinegar Works. Mr. Evans has given £1,500 towards the new building, on condition of a similar sum being raised by the rest of the con. gregation. The new edifice is to be in the decorated style, and will accommodate about 900 persons, school children included, and will consist of a nave with aisles, supporting a lofty and steeppitched open timber roof; small transepts, suffi. cient to give a cruciform character to the strue. ture: with a turret and handsome spire at the south-west angle. The cost of the whole is estimated at £3, 600, towards which £2,600 has been already contributed. On the day named the congregation assembled in the Silver Street Chapel, when the Rev. N. Haycroft, M.A., preached an excellent discourse from Mark xiii. 34. After this service an adjournment was made to the site of the new building, when, after singing and prayer, the Rev. H. E. Sturmer delivered an address. Mrs. E. B. Evans then laid the stone, under which were deposited a history of the church, a ground-plan of the building, and copies of The Freeman, The Nonconformist, and the local papers. The Rev. N. Haycroft then gave a lengthened and able exposition of the principles of the denomination for whose use the obapel was to be erected, and the Rev. J. Bartlett, on behalf of the Worcester Independents, congratulated Mr. Sturmer and his people on the event of the day. In the evening a tea-meeting was held in the Guildhall, where about 500 persons were present, and where, under the presidency of Alderman T. R. Hill, addresses were delivered by Mr. Hanson (the treasurer), the Rev. J. Bartlett, the Rev. N. Haycroft, the Rev. J. Green (of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire), the Rev. H. E. Sturmer, and the Rev. B. Bird. NEWPORT, MONMOUTUSHIRE.--The recognition services of the Rev. E. Thomas as pastor of the newly formed English Baptist church at Pillgwenlly, Newport, and the laying of the memorialstone of the new chapel, now in course of erection, for the use of that church, took place on the 15th and 16th of July. At seven o'clock in the evening of the 15th a sermon was preached in Commercial Street Chapel by the Rev. D. Evans, of Dudley, On Thursday, at eleven, the recognition services took place at the same chapel. An address was given by the Rev. E. Roberts, Bethel, on the nature of a Christian church, and the circumstances which led to the establishment of a new English church at Pillgwenlly. The Revs. R. Griffiths and N. Thomas, of Cardiff, followed, the former in an address on the necessary qualifica. tions of a Christian minister, the latter in a statement of the duties of Christian churches. At three in the afternoon a large concourse of people met at the new building for the purpose of witnessing the ceremony of laying the memorial-stone. The service was commenced by the Rev. D. Morgan, Blaenavon, and addresses were given by the Revs. J. Williams, Stow Hill, Newport, and D. Evans, Dudley, after which the memorial-stone was laid by the Mayor, G. W. Jones, Esq. At four a public tea-meeting was held in the new market place, where upwards of 1,000 persons sat down together. At seven a public meeting was held at the same place, when addresses were delivered by the Revs, J. Williams, Newport; D. Evans, Dudley; N. Thomas, and R. Griffiths, Cardiff; E. Roberts, Rev. P. Bailhache, of Salisbury, from Isaiah lix. 1. Thus terminated the proceedings of an interesting day, which the friends at Damerham will long remember with pleasure. Bethel; D. Morgan, Blaenavon; J, Morgan, St. Bride's, and others. The chair was occupied by the Rev, E. Thomas, pastor of Pillgwenlly church. An English Baptist chapel is greatly needed in this part of the town. It will be of good size--71 feet by 42. The church already numbers upwards of 120 members, while there are several now waiting for baptism. ROMSEY, HANTS. ---Some most interesting meetings were held on Tuesday, August 4th, at Bell Street Chapel, Romsey, on the occasion of the public recognition of the Rev. Clarence Chambers, of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon's Col. lege, as pastor of the church in that place. The recognition service was held at three o'clock in the afternoon, and was well attended, the chapel being nearly filled. The Rev. J. Collins commenced by reading and prayer. The usual questions of the church and nastor were asked by the Rev. J. B. Bart, of Beaulieu, and were satisfactorily answered by Mr. G. Harris, one of the deacons, on behalf of the church, and by the pastor. The Rev. G. Rogers, senior tutor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle Col. lege, delivered some judicious counsels to the new pastor. This charge was followed by some appropriate admonitions to the church by the Rev. J. B. Burt. Notwithstanding the showers of rain which continued to fall during the afternoon, a good company of nearly 200 adjourned to the Yew Hall to partake of tea, which was provided by the ladies of the congregation. In the evening another meeting was held in the chapel, still more numerously attended, the chapel being quite filled. At seven o'clock F. Backell, Esq., took the chair. After singing and prayer, which was offered by the Rev. S. Sincox, a former pastor, and some introductory remarks hy the chairman, some most stirring speeches, which were listened to with deep attention, were made by the Revs. G. Rogers, W. Burton, Dr. Perrey, J. Collins, J. Burt, W. Shearne, and the pastor. An appeal was made to the practical sympathy of the friends, for the purpose of building an upper school-room upon the vestry, to serve also as end gallery to the chapel. The collection and the profits of the tea amounted to £11. DAMERHAM, WILTS. --The foundation-stone of the new Baptist chapel in this village was laid on Wednesday, July 29th. The weather was most favourable, and a numerous assembly of persons gathered together from Damerham and the neighbourhood. After singing and prayer, a short statement was made by the pastor of the church, the Rev. W. Earney. A bottle was then deposited beneath the stone, containing a local newspaper, a few small coins, and a piece of parchment, on which was written a record of the proceedings of the day, also an account of the fire on the 11th of May last, by which twenty-eight dwelling-houses and many other buildings were destroyed, together with the old chapel, erected in the year 1833, by the late Mr. Rhodes. The stone was then laid, in a proper and efficient manner, by Williara Taunton, Esq., of Redlynch, near Downton; after which an aldress suitable to the occasion was delivered by the Rer, J.T. Collier, of Downton. Contributions, chiefly in small sums, were offered, and placed on the stone, to the amount of £1. The friends then retired to the Independent chapel, which was kindly placed at their disposal, and here the chilciren of the Sabbath and day schools drank tea together to celebrate the laying of the stone. The friends assembled afterwards, refreshed and enjoyed themselves in a similar way, and in the evening a public religious service was held, at which 3: impressive sermon was preached by the HOUGHTON REGIS, BEDS.-On Thursday, July 16th, the foundation-stone of a new Baptist chapel was laid at Houghton Regis, Beds. At seven o'clock a.m. a prayer-meeting was held to ask the blessing of God upon the undertaking. At halfpast two the foundation-stone was laid by the Rev. J. Russell, of Blackheath, who delivered an appropriate address. The Rev. D. Gould, of Dunstable, afterwards gave a history of the church, which he traced back to the vear 1751. Corner-stones were laid by Mrs. T. D. Cook, of Brewer's Hill; Mrs. M. H. Davies, of Blackheath ; Miss Annshee, of Lewsey; and Miss Cook, of Bramingham. In the evening the Rev. W. Brock preached to a large and attentive congregation from Phil. ii. 9-11. The offerings made were most liberal: £3 waa laid upon the foundation-stone, £5 upon each of the corner-stones, and about £20 in smaller sums upon different bricks. The luncheon and tea, which were given by members of the congregation, yielded a large sum to the funds. The collections, including those of the previous Sabbath, amounted to £16. From these and other sources the total so nearly reached £100 that a friend generously offered to make it up to that sum. The building will be a noble monument to the power of voluntary effort. The style is to be Brzantine, and the design re. flects great credit upon the architect, Mr.J. Neale, of Bristol, who has inore than usually combined economy with effect. The contract has been taken by Mr. J. Tofield, of Houghton Regis, for the moderate sum of £800. An additional sum of £200 at least will be needed to improve the approach and finish the schools. £750 has already been subscribed ; so that there remains, it may be said, £300 yet to be provided. CANNON STREET, BIRMINGHAM.-A meeting was held in Cannon Street Chapel, Birmingham, on Tuesday evening, July 21st, for the purpose of presenting an expression of affection and esteem to the Rev. Isaac Lord and Mrs. Lord. The chair was ocenpied by Mr. J. H. Hopkins, who, in an appropriate address, opened the meeting. Mr. Hopkins also presented to Mr. Lord, on behalf of the congregation, a silver tes service, and an affectionate address. Mr. Lord, after a short pause, related the circumstances which had led to his resignation, and said that, acting upon medical advice, he had determined to give up all ministerial engagements and responsibilities at least for one year ; that already he had felt convinced of the wisdom of the step he had taken, for not only was he physically better, but he had a growing convic. tion that his retirement would promote his spiritual life and happiness. After some words of earnest and affectionate coupsel, he concluded by again heartily thanking his friends on his own behalf, and on behalf of Mrs. Lord, for the expressions of affection and esteem which had then been presented to them. Addresses were then delivered by the Rev. J. J. Brown, the Rev. R. D. Wilson, Mr. Jordan, Mr. Tolkien, Mr. Henson, and other gen. tlemen. In addition to the above testimonial, it was announced that the female Bible-clags over which Mrs. Lord presided, and by whom she is greatly beloved, had presented her with a very elegant and valuable writing-desk.
