Mr. T. Jenkins was the host at the concert of seafarers last evening, at the Sailors' Friend Society. The performers were Mrs. Stirton, Misses Rees, Gwen Jenkins, Stirton, and Messrs. T. Jenkins, Esau, Johnson, Hackett, Ross, Charman, Mrs. Stirton was at the piano. The prizes for the competitions came from Mr. Edmunds, and went to the Port Hardy and Corinthic. The missioner, Mr. J. Moore, announced that the heating fund was progressing, but there was still a need for further gifts.
Lovers of Dickens, and especially those interested in everything relating to Mr. Pickwick, will read with appreciation the following from the weekly edition of the London "Times" of 25th February last:—"A link with the days of Dickens was severed on Friday by the death at Pickwick, a Wiltshire hamlet on the Bath road, of Mrs. David Arundel, iv her 104 th year. Mrs. Arundel lived for many years near to the coaching station kept by Moses Pickwick in the hamlet, and she had a lively recollection of the coaches in which the novelist often travelled to and from the West Country."
