NATIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY—ANNUAL MEETING.  

The anniversary meeting of the National  

Temperance Society was held on the 21st  

May last. The Earl of Arundel and  

Surrey, M.P., in the chair. The noble  

chairman was supported on his right, by B.  

Rotch, Esq., Justice of the Peace; and on  

the left by the Hon. Stafford Jerningham.  

There were on the platform, besides the  

speakers, Dr. Campbell, Dr. Lovell, Dr.  

Mastalier, Julius Jefferies, R.S., Messrs.  

Joseph Eaton, William Janson, John Hull,  

J. D. Bassett, G. W. Alexander, R. Barrett,  

J. Meredith, R. Warner, and host of other  

well-known benefactors and advocates of the  

cause.  

few minutes after six o’clock, the Earl  

of Arundel entered the hall, accompanied  

by several members of the committee and  

other gentlemen, and immediately occupied  

the chair. His lordship on rising, was  

greeted with loud and universal cheering, at  

the subsiding of which, he said, —Ladies and  

gentlemen, Although fully conscious of my  

inability to discharge properly the station  

which have this day the honour of filling,  

yet, as the firm friend of the good and  

righteous cause which has assembled us all  

here, could not decline, when requested to  

take the chair upon this occasion (hear,  

hear). Gentlemen, this is the fourth annual  

meeting of the National Temperance So-  

ciety and how many families have been  

rendered happy, since the first of these  

meetings, by the promulgation of these  

principles, which drive strife and wickedness  

from the home of the working man (hear,  

hear). will not detain yon by entering  

into hackneyed list of the numerous cases of  

benefit which have been wrought by teeto-  

talism, but will leave that duty to be per-  

formed by those who have taken much  

more prominent part in this great cause  

than have been able to do (cheers).  

W. Cash, Esq., read an abstract of the  

report.  

Rev. W. W. Robinson, A.M., Incumbent  

of Christ’s Church, Chelsea, rose to move  

the first resolution, —“ That this meeting  

records with thankfulness the progress of the  

temperance cause, and the results of the  

National Temperance Society’s operations  

and especially approves of the efforts now  

making for the re-organisation of the pro-  

vincial societies, and complete system of  

loan tract distribution —the opening of read-  

ing-rooms—and other means likely to secure  

the permanent establishment of the temper-  

ance cause.”  

Christian friends, —I have been by the  

providence of God, nearly six years, firm
