Newton Abbot: New Organ: The East-street, Baptists, have recently erected a new organ in their spacious chapel, and on Sunday and Monday last there were special services to raise wind, not only in the instrument, but for it. On the day the Rev. W. C. Jones preached two sermons, and on the latter a tea and public meeting took place, which not only received a fair amount of patronage, but excellent speeches from various ministers and friends. The organ is rich in tone and performed its part on both occasions to the entire satisfaction of all. Sale of Freehold Property: On Tuesday Messrs. Rendell and Symons held an Auction at Salter’s Seven Stars Inn, for the sale of that very desirable freehold property called Lower Herebeer — as announced last week in our advertising columns — situate in the parish of Bickington, and comprising a good farm house and buildings and about 90 acres of land, 40 of which were arable, 4 ½ orchard, 3 coppice, and the remainder arable (sic), the whole in the occupation of Mr. Murch at rental of £200 a year. Mr. John Wills is the owner and wished to dispose of it in consequence of having taken a large estate above Exeter. General White was the first bidder at £4,000, which was followed by a succession of bidding until it reached £5,000, Mr. Pinsent being the bidder at that sum. Mr. Rendell’s persuasive eloquence had no effect in further augmenting that amount, and the reserve price £5,550 was named, but there being no advance it remained unsold. Lot 2 a dwelling house, shop, bake house, and garden, at South Knighton, let to Mr. John Tarr at £10 per annum, and after spirited competition was bought by him at £142 10s. Messrs. Francis and Baker were the solicitors.

TEIGNMOUTH: Education Meeting: A meeting was held at the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday, to consider the new Education Act. E. Gulson, Esq., who presided, pointed out that in the two parishes of East and West Teignmouth they only had one school, and whether one school would be sufficient for the two parishes for the future, it would not be for them to decide. He certainly considered additional accommodation necessary. The Rev. A. Lawson stated that the school accommodation in East and West Teignmouth would provide for 390 children. The Atheneum School, which was termed a private adventure, was sufficient for 147 children, the Roman Catholic School 80, Mr. Pinsent’s school 56, and the school under the patronage of Mrs. Wrey 30, making in all 703; but to provide for one-sixth of the population there would be a deficiency of school accommodation for 300 children. From Mr. Howard who inspected their schools last week – he might be right or wrong – he learned that the school accommodation at the Atheneum and Mr. Pinsent’s would never pass the requirements of the Education Department. Taking into consideration the number of poor in West Teignmouth he thought accommodation would be required for one-fifth rather than one-sixth, and if that were so they would have to provide for 500 instead 300. Some discussion arose about the working of the Act, some gentlemen being in favour of the voluntary system, and others of a rate. The Rev. A. Lawson then moved “That in the opinion of this meeting the present and prospective educational wants, as regard, elementary education of East and West Teignmouth, be continued under the voluntary system.” This was seconded by Mr. Jordan, who showed that if the voluntary system failed, they could come to a rate. He considered the voluntary system had very great advantages over the compulsory system. The Rev. J. Davis (Baptist) moved an amendment that a committee be appointed to confer on the subject, and to report to the vestries of the two parishes. The Rev. J. Bramley (Wesleyan) seconded this. Captain Marshall suggested the meeting should be adjourned for a week, in order that the population might thoroughly understand the subject. Eventually the Rev. A. Lawson withdrew his motion, that of the Rev. J. Davis being adopted, with the alteration that the committee shall report at an adjourned meeting be held next Monday evening at 7.30, when the Rev. A. Lawson will again move his resolution. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting.
