111:•; anniversary services in connection with the above, wero held in Trinity Church on Sunday the 2!ltli ultimo. The Rev. Scott West preached both morning and evening, the church being crowded at the former service, when he gave one of his wt'll-knowii "children's talks" previous to tho sermon. A specie feature of these services was the playing of Mr Culpan, who presided at the organ, except; when the childrens hymns were sung, when the Misses Anderson and Evans accompanied them most efficiently. At the children's service in the afternoon over 100 little ones wero present, to whom Mr F. J. Brook* delivered an address, taking lessons from a lantern which he exhibited, and from which he deduced many excellent precepts.
