Tab Sinfulness ov Kinking.—The Chester has been taking vigorous action with respect to rinkiug. He regards this amusement as vicious in the extreme, and even before the disease penetrated to Chester, he had been much exercise! by its growth. At length a company started in Chester for the purpose of starting building and laying down a rink, and the Bishop's horror reached a a crisis. Ho brought every pre*sure to bear upon the company, in order to induce shareholders to refrain from their desecration, but without avail. Then he retrolved to make a pecuniary sacrinoa, and offered to buy up the rink in order to close it. The directors asked £4,000 for the property, and the Bishop at once banded them a cheque for the amount He will probably find that he has made a grapd mistake, and that the effect will be similar to that produced by giving an organ-grinder a, penny to go away, hundreds coming shortly afterwards for similar payment.
