the papers on the Accounts and Expenses of the Churchwardens, by Mr. W eeks, F.R.H.S., are concluded in this issue. Tliey have stretched over a period of nearly, twelve months, and during that time they cannot fail to have afforded interest and instniction to that portion of tlie public interested in the decaying cus­ toms of two centuries ago. Mr. Weeks has taken great pains in the production of the papers, and a deal of research must have been necessary.

Ho c.xprcssed his sincere thanks for their valuable and handsome present, and for their good wishes, and fur the eulogistic terms in which Colonel Starkio had spoken of him, and he assured them that it would always bo a great pleasure to him to bo connected with tho regiment. He had servcil in it from the very commencement. There were very few present who remembered the Crimean War and the privations whicli our troops cndurctl in those terrible winters, or the Indian Mutiny, and tlic gallantry of our tr(X)p.s on that occuatun. But ft was immediately after these events that nimour got abroad that the Emperor of the French, urged oil by tho French people, threatened to invade England. And this country rose as one iiian and insisted upon volunteers being enrolled for the pro tection uf the nation. The Government fur a long time refused to sanction tho enrolment of volunteer troops, but wero at- last bound to bring an Act of Parliament authorising tlio r.iising of volunteer forces.

One com­ pany had been previously raised in Liverpool at the ttino of Waterloo, and had continued in exis­ tence ns a rifle company down to tho commence­ ment of tliu Volunteer movement, and then became Iho 1st Comp. Lane. Volunteers. He (Col.Robin son) was sworn in on the first day of tho formation of the Blackburn companies, his regimental num­ ber being 17. The hardships they had then to con­ tend witli wore many ; not only Imd iliey to provide outfits for tho men, but they had to provide arms and amtnunition, nml drill instructor, and had even to pay tholr adjutant. But before six months wero over they had four companies under the com­ mand of a major. He remcml>orctl very well how little Interest was .taken by tho government in the movement. In 1850,when tho first inspection took place, tiicy ivcro inspected by a lieuto.iant of tho militia. (Laughter.) Tliat showed what they had had to contend with. The original uniforms got worn out, enthusiasm died away, and there were no funds to fall hack u{>on, so for along time things were at a standstill. I t was very hanl work for a couple of years,but they struggled on though theirmiinbcradwindlcdavray. The Government then came in with a small grant, and from that time they had never lookctl b.ick. They had now a battalion of tun companies, clothed and cquIpjKxI, with efficient barracks, and out of debt, and with a balance uf money in the bank. (Hear, hear.) Ho hlioul’I always Ux)k back on that day with tho utmost pleasure. He looked upon tlmt piece of plate not only ns a tribute of ihoir reganl and esteem, but ns shewing that every man who plods on steadily would always comniaiul tho respect of his followtncn. With reganl to what Col. :5tarkic had said nbout friends and enemies, he might say that ho had never got across with any man m the regiment. He was glad to sec so many officers present tlmt night. Ho should always continuo to meet them witli thoAAino fricmlshipand feelings of regnnl that ho held for them. He cxpressotl many tlrnnks, and trusted that the regiment might long hold Its proffont character. (Loud and continu­ ed applause.) Tho romainder of tho evening was spent in a social manner. > .

Colonel Starkic then pro posed the healtli of Colonel Robinson, which was drunk with great cnthnsinsni, and during tho sing ing of ** He’s a jolly gcKxl follow.” Colonel Robinson, in responding, said it was


occasion to express their esteem and roganl for ono with whom tliey liad been long connected! Tlie Toluntccr movement was a great and national aclvnntngo to the,country, and Col. Robinson had played no small part in the progress of that move­ ment- Tlicy had been, and wero, a body of citizen soldiers, and bad expressed their opinions as patriots for the benefit of their country, but they were that evening on the point of something tlmt dearly concerned themselves. For a very long period thoTat V.B.B.L. Regiment Imd been most abl^' commanded by ono wlio was now about to sever his connection with the regiment. For 85 ycnr.H tlieir worthy and late colonel had been ;isso- ciated witli the regiment. During tlmt lime tlio regiment had received tlic benefit of his counsel, advice, and genial military ardour. For 28 years had that regiment Imd the benefit of the command of Colonel Robinson, and during tlmt time ho M'as perfectly satisfied that the regiment had attained a state of perfect dUcipline. There had been no cliques in that regiment. The Officers had been kind and brotherly and there had been perfect unanimity of ideas. Ho had made no enemies, but many friends.. Such was the character of the gallant ofllcer to wliom they were going to make the presentation. Not only was he an officer, but he waa a friend apd a gentle man, and that respect which he had always paid to Society, Society would always pay to him. He had been the main spring and stay of that Rcgl ment, and S(x;icty would always remember and appreciate his services. He was sure that Colonel Robinson would always be remembered as a man who had done his duty well, and as ono of the worthies of their district. (Loud applause.) He was perfectly certain that the good cxainplc of soldierly conduct whicli he had exhibited would remain as the foundation of the Regiment. Colonel SLarkic then made tho presentation^

Tito advantages to be derived froth batlis wero many, not only as viewed from a sanitary point of view, Imt many others. Young men would be attracted to tlio batlis from worse surroundings, and those wlio desired ncrobaiie exercise could bo accommodated, while in tho exercise of climbing ladders, &c., the firemen, by availing themselves of the exercise afforded, would become more agile in ladder climbing, which would bo useful in cases of emergency. Ho alluded to the fact that tho baths a t Btackpool liad paid tlie season’s expenses in one day, on tlio occasion of tho last bank Iioliday, and lie tliought tlint if profes­ sional swimmers and • other aquatic performers were,occasionally engaged, i t would attract sueli numbers to tho hntlis as to cause tlicin to he self, supporting. He thought tlicro was great need for personal cleanliness in our own town, for some people scented to dread water and even admitted that they never had a real hath in their life. Ho llionglit sncli people would havo skins suggestive of Colman’s mustard plasters.

At Blackburn tliey liad to dose tlio batlis early in tlie season, ns the few uho attended them woiihl not pay for clean water. The question of baths had been discussed nt the Council meeting, and tlio advisability of taking Holines Mill wna alluded to a t tlie same time, Imt notliing waa done. I ’craonally, I/c thciiglit llic place was not a t all atiitnblo for conversion into a bath. From returns issncil, rolating to eleven piihlic-haths in tho Nortli of England, it wnasimwn that not ono of tliein Iiad paid its way; Alluding to tlie cost of building them, lie instanced IJiirnlcy baths, wliicli cost £7038 lOs. 3d., and were not very elaborate ; the income last year wna £823 12-«., and tho expenditure £1019 12s. leaving a dofieit of £195 7s. 9(1., in addition to wliicli tho cmpIoyce.s in tliat departinent wero llie most sweated of nhy under tho Corporation.
