The utmost vigilance was, aed would continue to be, exercised by the claret-tors, and was some unforeseen circumstance occurred, they had • o ddest hope that, before they met again, they would be skit to iltvgase the dividend.

Use. Gardiner thought that the proposal which he matte Iliad enable the society fully to carry out its objects with al laterfering with the foundation of the school, and would ty be attended with very beneficial results—Sir o Pell seconded the amendment.—After some discla im, Captain Dickson proposed a contrary amendment, WE. however, fell to the ground. Lieut. Gardiner's pro pulsion Wag carried by a considerable majority, the entire wpm lookg then adopted.—On the motion of the Hon. A. a. AL Mau, seconded by Sir E. Codrington, the viaspemidents and directors were re-elected, and &r George Cockburn was elected president until Admiral Bowles should become qualified for that office. Ikea/ complimentary votes followed, which concluded the poeudings. The annual festival of the society wu held in the even. dug at the London Tavern, when there were about 150 gentlemen present, the Earl of Auckland presiding. The toasts were of the usual character, " Prosperity to the Nanl School," the principal one of the evening, being re ceived with the utmost enthusiasm. The vocal arrange ments were more successful than usual. The singers were Kiss Dolby, Mr. Hill, Mr. Hatton, Mr. Howe, and M. Leek all of whom well merited the applause bestowed upon them. The subscriptions announced during the scene mg amounted to nearly 16001., which of course included the donation of Lord 'Yarborough. CHILD MURDER. ADJOrRNEDINQUEST.—The ad jottrned inquest on the body of the male child alleged to have been murdered by it' asother, and another party or parties, was resumed by Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, at the York Hotel, York -street, Covent-garden, at 12 o'clock yesterday. Sarah Barber repeated the evidence given by her at Bow street, and reported in our paper of Monday. She had been enraged to dry•nurse the child, which she brought to the mother for the second time on Friday, east wss ordered to leave it. On taking it away the first time the had ob served that there was a running at the nose, that it did not breathe freely, and was very much altered, and on the Fri day, on the bell being rung, she found the child was dead, being covered with a shawl. After some unimportant evidence, Inspector Black stated, that he had taken Mr. Hartnell into custody according to the instructions of the coroner, and conveyed hills to Bow street police-office, charging him with being concerned with others in causing the death of a child unnamed, and for which two persons, the mother of the child, and a parson tithe name of Will, alias Dolly, were already in custody, but Mr. Henry, witness having no direct evidence againg the prisoner (Bennen), refused to entertain the charge, an in vsetiption of the whole case being at the time held before the coroner, upon which Mr. Hartsell was liberated. Ann lh atoll acted as servant to Mrs. Cleveland; she was aware of the child's birth; the child was apparently a healthy int On the Friday, by the desire of Mn. Barber, she went late the room where Mrs. Cleveland and the baby were ra. Mrs. Cleveland was apparently in a dim a. and ei h tte 's face war partially covered by the i lfg. Cleveland requested witness to leave tie reese, and not to return nor allow any other person to weer mil die eang the bell. Abost six o'clock in the evening she sole mot into the room ; Mrs. Cleveland was lying on her aids and the child near her ; Mrs. Barber, the nuns, came in at the slaw time, The witness then went to kiss the child, when the found it cold and apparently dead, the hands being Benched ; before the witness could say anything Mn. Cleve lend exclaimed, " What is the matter ?" Witness replied, " Nothing, I am only l at its hands." Mrs. Barber then came to the side of the and, looking at the child, t idtrintod, " Good God ! the child is dead ." The witness .runr,... deposed to the fact that, previous to the birth of the °. 44 , she had heard Mrs. Cleveland say that the child would be born dead, and that Mr. Harry would lay her out, as be 11, the father of the child. She did not know who Mr. war, but believed it was a gentian= who had been 11114 7 e habit of calling and mini Mn. Cleveland. Mr. Brooking, having unstained the , said, in the hear ing witness, that this child lei net obild come to ita death by fair means' he told Men Cleveland not to alarm herself, but it was inquest his duty to take appellee the Oise of the fact, and that an should plass. Mr. Lawson repe ated the avidness ha ggave at the first i holding of the n_qaust. reeseted ea il.eeday, relative to his interview with Reieadithat asking him whether he could not contrive the the ekY doge be MW-berm. Margaret Morgan aped that she lad Nei with Mrs. Cleveland, but left a flwndogo la geasequensa oft quar rel ; that Mrs. Cleveland ft/mealy complained in hitter terms upon her approaching aseesehement, and wished that the child might be born dead. Other evidence of a similar nanny having been given, the coroner went through the whole of the evidence, briefly remarking on its particular effect, and the course the jury ought to panne in coming to their verdict. The room was then cleared of strangers ; and the jury, after half-an-hour's consideration, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Ann Cleveland and a man known es Hill alias Dolly.—The coroner bound the whole of the witnesses over to appear end rive evidence.—The prosecution will be car ried on by the perish authorities. COVENT °ARDEN THEATRICAL FUND.—The anni versary festival of this institution took place yesterday even ing at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Duke of Cambridge presided, and was supported by the Duke of Beaufort, Baron Kneetibeck, and General De la Motto. The usual loyal toasts having been drank, the Duke of Beaufort proposed the health of H.R H. the Duke of Cambridge, the president of the institution. The illustrious chairman, in returning thanks, assured the company that so long as he lived, he should continue to do the utmost in his power to further the interests of the society. His Royal Highneuiconcluded his speech by drinking " Prosperity to the Covent Garden Thea trical Fund." Mr. Drinkwater Meadows, the secretary, in returning thanks, stated that every lawful demand upon the society bad hitherto been answered—every claimant from the beginning bad been paid in full, without any reduction of income whatever; and though the annuities at the pre sent time amounted to upwards of 1,3001., a deaf ear had been turned to the voice of distress, even when pro ceeding from objects having no legitimate demand upon the institution. During the last twelve months annuities had been granted to three more members, who, through age and infirmity, bad been obliged to retire from the profession, and two more claims for annuities were shortly expected to be made. Within the last year the fund had granted casual relief to seventeen theatrical families unconnected with it, not one of whom had any claim upon this charity ; and this circumstance was alluded to merely in self-defence. The present position of Covent garden Theatre did not alter the prospects of the annuitants of this fund. Though adverse circumstances had removed the English drama from the theatre wherein it so long flourished, yet those circumstances did not invalidate the claims upon the fund. It was not for him (Mrltdeadows) to say what might be the consequences of solaria an arena asCovent-garden Theatre being closed upon the subecribing members of the fund, but he might observe that as no one could have predicted that Covent-garden Theatre would be converted into an Italian opera-house, who could say that it might not again become a temple for the British drama? Mr. Meadows concluded his speech by stating that her Majesty bad sent a donation of 501., and that the Duko of Cambridge had given his usual annual subscription. The total amount of subemiptions announced on the occasion was 5041., besides a donation of 1001. from a gentleman whose ' name we anderstood to be Macciesseh. The Duke of Cam bridge left the chair at an early hour, and the company separated at ten o'clock. The musical arrangements, which were unusually enraplete, and added much to the festivity, were under the direction of Mr. T. Cooke. THE ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL Soctury commented their summer exhibitions yesterday at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, with much better fortune, as regards weather, than betel the show at Chiswick. The day was delightful ; which, with the promise of choice flowers and a military band, attracted a large number of visitcrs The Duke et Cambridge was one of the first to walk through the grounds. The flowers were less numerous than at the exhibitions of the Horticultural Society, bat were in sufficient abundance and perfection to make an attractive display. Many apecimens seen at Chiswick were shown again. The heaths and pelargoniums were the mast numerous classes of flowers. They were varied and excellent. Several fine azaleas were also shown and the collections of miscellaneous plants containe d many blooms of great beauty and of choice charm ten. The tulips, which formed another feature of the exhibition, would have gladdened the heart of a Dutchman ; the hearts-ease, too, the favourite old flower with the charm ing old English name, came in for prizes, offering its humbler beauty in, far from unsuccessful, competition for the applause awarded so abundantly to its exotic rivals. Giant cucumbers, and brobdignsg rhubarb, with early etrawberries, and premature carrots, brought up the rear of the show, so far as the society was concerned, but the visi tors were further indulged with the customary attractions of the gardens, the collection of besets and birds, the mimic Gibraltar.

ROYAL HDYANE SOCIETY.—An annual meeting of this society was announced to be held yesterday at 2 o'clock, at the Society's Rooms, in Trafalex-square. A reporter from this paper attended and found sax gentlemen luting at an oval table, in a small room, presided over by Mr. B. B. Cabbeil. The meeting assumed so much the appearance of an ordinary committee for the transaction of business that our reporter did not consider it desirable, and indeed scarcely proper to remain. It is surely to be regretted that the subscribers and friends of any society, should allow its annual meeting to be holden under such circumstances. If the society is useful and well-conducted (en is probably the case in this instance), it is desirable that subribers and others should afford it the encouragement of their presence ; whilst if it is supposed to be conducted suspiciously or inefficiently, they should be at ita meetings to watch its proceeding , and decide for themselves as to the propriety of continuing their support to it. It is, in the one case, a misfortune to the so ciety ; and, in the other, a misfortune to the public, that benevolent persons should subscribe to an institution without fully acquainting themselves as to its principles and manage ment, and being thoroughly convinced that its usefulness is co-extensive with its means. DEALERS IN TIIE FINE ARTS' PROVIDENT LNSTI TUTION.—The fifth annual meeting of the subscribers to this charity, the object of which is to provide assistance for picture - dealer and printsellers, when in neceesitous cir cumstance*' took place yesterday evening at No. 6, Pall-mall; the pnaldent, Henry Graves, Dirt., in the chair.

FIRE AT STEPNEY FAIR. —Between one and two yesterday afternoon, a lire, which caused considerable alarm, broke out on the premises of Mr. Gray, rope-maker, situate in Stepney Fair Field. The moment the alarm was given, two men on horseback, from an equestrian circus in the fair, were sent off with the news of the disaster to the engine sta tions. Nearly three-quarters of an hour elapsed before the arrival of the engines, in the absence of which, the house belonging to Mr. Moused, and two others adjoining, were burning most furiously. On the arrival of the engines, the scene was terrific in the extreme ; however, no time was lost in setting them to work, and by half-past three they one needed in getting the fire under, but not before the above seined houses, two rope-yards, and a swing, were entirely destroyed. It is supposed that some tar for the ropes, which was being heated in a cauldron, boiled over, and, catching some yarn ed the conflagration. Great confusion was caused in pulling down a number of booths to prevent their destruction, besides several others in the fair. No fewer than 12 houses in Fairfield place and Arbour-place were injured by the disaster. The principal sufferers were partially in sured. INQUESTS, YESIERDAY.—FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREENWICH RAILWAY.—Before Mr. W. Payne. at Guy's Hospital, on the body of James Collins, aged 27.—George Grinstead, station-master at the Spa-road station, on the Gr..enisich Railway, stated that the deceived was foreman of a gang of labourers employed on the line. On Saturday morning last, the deceased was standing on the new line poiuting out to some surveyors the damage done by a recent fire, when the train from London came towards the station on the old lice. Just at that time the deceased, apparently not knowing what he did, stepped on to the old line, and the engine.driver and fireman, seeing the danger, called to him. The train was then only sin yards from him, and so it was impossible to atop it in time, he was knocked down, and the whole of the carriages passed over him. He was immediately taken to the hospital. Deceased had the management of the ballast trains, and must have been well aware of the danger of the spot on which be stood. This evidence was corro borated by several other witnesses.—Mr. Henry Geary, house surgeon of thehospital, said the deceased was brought in quite dead. He had sustained compound fracture of the skull and other injuries. Verdict, " Accidental death."— FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EPSOM RAILWAY.—Before W Carter, Esq., at the Marquis of Granby Inn, Epsom, touch ing the death of James Nash, aged 38, one of the labourers on the Epsom line of railway. On the Derby day the de ceased had been engaged with other men at the force pump at Ewell, which is worked by a large iron wheel, weighing upwards of seven hundredweight. The deceased, when about to lay hold of the handle of the wheel, missed his foot, and slipped head first between the spokes of the wheel, which was then being turned towards him. Such was the im mense weight preening on his neck, that the head was nearly separated from the body. As soon as passible he was re lieved from his dreadful situation, his neck alone resisting the force of the wheel; and Mr. Jones, a surgeon of the town, attended him. He considered there was disloca tion of the neck, and deceased was conveyed to his lodgings, where ho died. Verdict, " Accidental death."— DItOWNED IN A Burn—Before Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, at the George Canning Inn, Lower Tulse-hill, on the body of James Yasley, aged 46.—The deceased had a small tench, which he had put Into the water butt. On last Sunday night be said he should get up in the morning and catch the fish to see if it had grown. On the Monday morning early, Mrs. Spiers, his landlady, came down to look at the fish, and on getting to the top of some steps to look into the butt she saw a man's feet. Upon the alarm being given several persons came, and the deceased was taken out quite dead. His bat was at the bottom of the butt and one of his shirt sleeves was tucked up, which led to the inference that he bad been trying " to catch the fish," and in the attempt overbalanced himself and lost his life.—Ver diet " Accidental death."

WEST NoRFOLK.--It is understood from good authorlA that the interest of Lord C. Townahend, of Rsinhants will, at the coming election, be exerted in behalf of Means. Coke and Hammond, the whig candidates for West Norfolk. This will be a point gained to the liberal cause, his lordship at the last contest having roppported Meson. Bagge and Chute. The Marquis of Cholasondeley, who has always lent his influence to the conservatives in the former struggles in West Norfolk, has also given in his adhesion to the cause of the liberal candidates, so that their prospects brighten daily. His lordship has about 62 tenant-voter.—Bury Post. WAKEFIELD.—ANOTHER CANDIDATE IN THE FIELD.— Immediately after Mr. Sandals had explained his political sentiments to the electors of the borough of Wakefield on Thursday last, an active canvass was commenced on his behalf. Various rumours were afloat as to the probability of another candidate being brought forward, some intimating that Sir E. N. Buxton, who had already addressed the elec tors, but had retired from the field, would again come forward; others stating that Ci. W. Alexander, Esq., of Lon don, would contest the borough with Mr. Sanders. Nothing definite transpired unti I Tuesday last, when it was unopened that Mr. Alexander would address the electors in the liberal interest in the evening of that day. The meeting took place in the large room of the Corn Exchange-buildings, which was nearly filled shortly after the hour of meeting by voters of all parties, the majority of whom took no part in the proceedings of the evening. Mr. 0. W. Harrison occu pied the chair, and on the platform were several of the most active opponents of the government education scheme In Wakefield and the neighbourhood. On Mr. Alexander pre senting himself he was warmly received by a limited portion of the audience. He announced himself to be decidedly opposed to the plan of education proposed by go , vernment, and went shortly into some of the arguments which have been urged against it. He was for an extension of the franchise, but he was not then prepared to say to what length he should feel disposed to go. He advocated triennial parliaments ; but he had not come to a decided opinion on the question of vote by ballot. He objected to the game' laws as at present existing ; and he would have capital punishments abolished. He objected to the continuance of the laws enforcing the pay ment of church rates ; end was of opinion that the interests of the church were not promoted by its alliance with the state. He concluded by expre ss ing his willingness to answer any questions that might be put to him ; and several explanations were called for, but nothing transpired calcu lated further to elucidate Mr. Alexander's opinions. It was stated that a requisition to Mr. A. would be prepared forth with, and an active canvass made without delay. A great portion of the friends of Mr. Bandar' were present, but offered no opposition to the proceedings of the assembly. BATH, MAT 28.—The fronds of the several candidates are very active. Last night Lord Ashley again met about 200 of the influential members of his party at the Royal Hotel ; the chair was taken by Major Blathwsyte, of Dyrt, ham Park, who has been spoken of as likely to be put in nomination by the tories as • second candidate in their in terest. Upon the health of Lord Ashley being drunk, his lordship returned thanks, and referred to a recent speech of Lord Arundel in reference to the advancement which the Roman catholic religion was making in this country. He urged upon protestants the duty of endeavouring to arrest its progress by rendering more zealous support to the church of England and upMlding those pure protestant doctrines which were preached by the early reformers. A meeting of the electors of the Lyncombe and Widcombe ward was held at seven o'clock, for the purpose of hearing ad dresses from Mr. Roebuck and Lord Duncan, the present liberal members. There was a large attendance, so large, indeed, that an adjournment to the open air became neces sary. Lord Duncan addressed the electors at considerable length, appealing to the fidelity with which he had adhered to the principles upon which he first solicited their support. His lordship detailed the steps which, in deference to the wishes of his constituents, he had taken with referenoe to procuring a repeal of the window-tax. He acknowledged the manner in which Bit Robert Peel, when in office had met the question, admitting that it had been brought for ward in a novel shape, and promising, if time were given, to pay attention to it. Mr. Roebuck also spoke to the meeting, touching upon various subjects of public interest, and avowing his attachment to radical 'principles. If any one should tell them that Mr. Roebuck would inand bye grow less extreme and bnore discreet his views, let them not believe him. Those principles which in his youth he had professed, and which mature con sideration had convinced him were sound, he should retain es long se his spirit inhabited its frail tenement—ho should ever remain firm in his resistance of wrong—petulant it might be—spiteful some might deem it—but sound and consistent he knew. Both the members were well received by the meeting, which separated with • determination to do all in its pewee to promote their re-election. WlNnsoa.—From an intimation which reached the most influential section of the liberal party at Windsor, yesterday morning, there now appears to be no doubt as to the party who will contest (if the term " contest " may be used under such circumstances) the representation of the borough, as the government, or " Castle candidate," Capt. Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and brother to the ' Marquis of Tweeddale, will, according to the intimation re ferred to, offer himself, with a certain chance of being re turned. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Max 26. The account of Mr. O'Connell's death received this morning had been anticipated yesterday, so that the sadden development of so important an event has lout half of its effects on the popular mind. There do not appear to be any general indications of sorrow. No external marks, at least, attest the depth of the pular grief. There can be no concealment of the etressiag fact, that the extinction of a man, whose name will resound through all time, and who once could command millions of hearte—and hands if necessary—has created but a very slight sensation in this city. Account for it as men may, the death of the great chieftain has excited no stronger feeling than curiosity. This is more than painful :it is pitiful. Private letters received from the Rev. Dr. Allier state that Mr. O'Connell died peacefully, and without a struggle. It is also stated that the heart and body will be embalmed. The former will be deposited in Rome, whither the rev. doctor and Mr. D. O'Connell proceeded on Thursday last, from Genoa, to make that votive offering on the shrine of the apostles. On their return the body will be brought to Ireland and laid inthe familysepulchre. Lord Clarendon is expected to arrive in Dublin to morrow, and will be sworn in as Lord Lieutenant at two o'clock p.m. His entry will be private. REPZAL AWICIATION.—There was a meeting of the corn mittee held to-day at 3 o'clock p.m., to consider the mune which it would be proper to take in the present emergency of their political movement, as well as to take meaaures for bestowing proper obsequies upon their late illustrious leader. The meeting was very numerous—the proceedings very brief. An adjournment until to-morrow was agreed upon, when an address to the repealer. of Ireland upon their pros pects and duties will be bayed. SCOTLAND. EDINBURGH, Mar 25. The proceedings of the ecclesiastical courts are tilling the local papers with huge reports ; but little can be picked out of general interest. In the esta blished assembly the Marriage and Registration Bills were eoedemncd by a majority of 204 to 2 ! The procurator made a most sensible defence, but only one member, a clergyman from the border, gave him a vote. Making all due allowance for the Gretna green exhibitions which this gentleman must have seen, it was an act of great moral courage in him to stand alone in such a confederation. A debate on plurality of offices is looked forward to with some Interest. A chaplaincy and deanery being lately vacant, it was resolved by the government that they should be turned to some account, and accordingly they were converted into an en dowment for a chair of biblical criticism. Instead of being conferred on some party, who would have devoted his whole time to the chair, the office was bestowed on one of the town clergy, who means both to teach and preach. But as a clause in his deed of nomination declares that his appointment is subject to church law, a large party in the assembly propose the passing of an act prohibiting, in all cases, the junction of a professorship with a cure of souls. The proposed law involves a question of degree, and not principle, u parties are, by an existing statute, pre vented from holding a chair at any university situated at a certain distance from their living. Formerly the professor of natural history in Edinburgh was the minister of Moffatt, about 50 miles from the city, and as the parishioners felt his absence during the acade mical session, and threatened disturbance, he accepted of a living within seven miles of the metropolis, where he was allowed to give the half of his efforts in peace. COST or CRIXI.—The Procurator-Fiscal of Strummer stated at a late meeting that there were single individuals in that place, notorious offenders, who had cost the country hundreds of pounds each—and one family could not have cost the public less than 1,0001. WALES• THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT ON THE DRIL—THE INQUIET. —On Tuesday afternoon an inques t waa held, of which Sir Edward walked., of Chester, 'o ht, was the foreman, in the poor-louse, to which the bodies of Roberts, the gu ard, Matthews, the mail-coach driver, and itt, the coach driver, h ad 'm been removed. The body of Anderson, the' . stoker, had been removed to the infirmary. The jury hav ing been sworn, the bodies of the three persons were idea , tilled by the engine-driver. No further evidence was adduced, the inquest being adjourned to Friday neat. The jury afterwards proceeded to the infirmary, when the body of the stoker was identified, but no fur ther evidence was adduced, this inquest being also ad journed to Friday. The coroner intimated that it would be desirable to have examined, at the adjourned inquest, Mr. Robt. Stephenson, the engineer, and Mr. Bette, the contractor for the bridge , .4 1 d: E ntMilen of directors visited all the per sons who were but who were fit to be removed to the harms el Mime. Dr. Phillips Jones, the mayor di the sky, w ee as the spot soon after the oxidant, and ren dered an die eisletince in his power. The most eminent make mea of Cheater showed the utmost readiness in ren ds:hag their aid en the occasion. Frye LIVZB WERE LOST IN BEAVILARIS ROADS on the evening of Whit-Monday. A party of friends took a yacht for a fishing trip ; they coasted along in the direction of Amlweh, When the wind suddenly freshened, and the boat was upset. The oocurence had been witnessed frem the prome nade, and a boat put out to the rescue, for hoe& were distinctly seen in the water. 8o great was the surf, how ever, and the wind so high, that the boatmen could make no wa Another boat subsequently went up the Straits with t he tide, and picked up a lad, who was firmly grasping an oar. The persons lost were : Mr. G. Owen, chemist (owner of the yacht) ; Mr. T. Lloyd, brother-in-law to the postmaster ; Mr. Sparkman, excise officer • Mr. Jones, painter ; and Hugh Tyrer, boatman, an experienced seaman, who had survived several shipwrecks. Lloyd has left a widow and five children, and Tyrer a widow and four children. The others were unmarried. None of the bodies have yet been recovered. A relative of one of the parties, who had been watching the movements of the yacht through a glass, and saw her go dawn, could only observe three per sons on the deck, from which it is probable that the others had taken shelter below. PROVINCIAL. A SION OP THE Tisice.—The Overseen of Salford, like, their brethren of Manchester, have addressed circulars to all such ratepayers as have not paid the last new rate, urging upon them to do so immediately, to save the overseers the painful necessity of having recourse to the means ordained by law for enforcing payment. They say the present calls are unusually pressing. The board of guardians have made ex traordinary calls upon them, which must be mat from week to week. The whole of the borough rate, which was laid in November last, amounting to 4,8061., remains unpaid; and ' the council of the borough are justly pressing for paying off that amount, or some part of it, to enable them to meet their engagements. In reference to the requirements made by the board of guardians, it may be proper to state, th►t the applications are daily incressuig ; that the number of cases l in receipt of relief, this week, is 1,511 ; and that'thc number of cases relieved in the corresponding week of lut year ins only 615 ; showing an increase of 928 cues this year. YORKSHIRE. A HINT TO TIE AVAILICIOI:B.—A very strong proof of the folly of &mai bolding their corn in the expectation of real ising anamsen galas has just been communicated to us by • gentleman dais sewn. It appears that recently a farmer in the megidisrarbood of Beverley commenced thrashing some wheat, Itir= s llise years ago, he refused 70• per quarter, and able from seven o'clock till eleven in the morning, he anoossded in obtaining four quarters seven bushels aeon, and the enormous quantity of 3,250 mice!— Hull Adnertiaer.

As imesloset, prigumml4 d waist ass, mist* eons Hew abort "lits 'a cherke," bevies bets asi air ge els Mob op fee it, Mr. next moved that a memorial to her Majesty's ministers should be adopted embodying the spirit of the resolutions. In doing this the hon. gentleman said, whilst be was dis co admit that there were other causes Lr the present distress than the seereity of food, they had a right to insist also that that scarcity should not be made more oppressive by those laws which bad a tendency to deprem trade. He denied the truth of the statements which have been constantly set forth in the Times newspaper, that to railways were to be attributed a vast amount of the evils the country was at present enduring; for, he said, if the country could, as it had done, lavish 160 millions in mingle year upon war, surely, under a proper system, that same country was able to spare fifty millions for constructing railways, which tended to enrich the country, and the money employed for which found its way hack int., the bands of the working dames. Ile declared it to be his firm opinion, that, under the present system of a metallic currency, nothing like a permanent prosperity could be attained ; and referred to the amend ment which had been moved. He said that he for one thought that the people were the best legislators, ' and that he should be glad to see the suffrage still further extended. This resolution having also been put and carried, Mr. Munfz, M.P., next rose, andeaid that whilst he was disposed to admit that there was a emeiderable pressure upon the trading interest and upon the poorer classes, he did not think that (especially in llirmingh•m) that pressure was sufficiently considerable to produce any coacentrated and great effort to bring about a change from the present system. He was convinced (he said) that a greater pinch was coming, and that the government of the day was only doing other peoples dirty work. He entertained the opinion at the time that the present government was wrong in taking office, because he saw that the distress which now prevailed would be sum to come. He now felt that the government was not fit for the time ; that it was not able to cope with the diffi culties which existed ; and so they were going on cobbling in a moment of emergency and of danger: they were going to stop railway works; which was absurd, it was like fitting the foot to the shoe, instead of the shoe to the foot. The evil was in the system, and the system must be remedied, if the country ' was to be any thing like prosperous. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, they must lower the price of their goods. Why, the effect of that (continued Mr. Mentz) will be, that you must lower the price you pay for labour, whereas, the whole system of legislation for the last thirty-five years has been to make the rich richer, and to impoverish the poor man. (Applause.) The fact was, the present government would go out, and another one would come in and do away with the present system. lie, for one, believed that Sir R. Peel would do it; he had already shown some dispoeition to abandon his babe, fine a child as it was ' • but tke whole question was to be discussed in the House of Commons next Monday night he intended to take part is that debate, and he was not going to rehearse his speech by entering into de tails at that meeting. They would remember, however, that he had told them eighteen menthe age, at the time they were agitating for the repeal of the corn-laws, that they and the money laws were inseparable ; that to repeal one, the other must be altered. The result showed that he was correct. The Manchester men then said, " If we can only take their wheat they'll take our goods ;" why what was the fact ? That during the last six months we had imported three times the moms of corn we ever did, whilst on the other hand, the exports of goods had as gradually declined. The fact was, that under the present system, gold must either be exported, and trade paralysed, or the manu facturers must reduce the price of their goods to an almost indefinite amount (because the foreign manufacturer would reduce theirs to meet them). And so the poor man would be placed in a worse condition than ever. (Hear.) I have (said the hon. gentleman, in conclusion) taken as active part in politics for the last 3.5 years, solely with the view to the poor man's protection—the rich man can take care of him• self, but so long as I live I shall continue to pursue the course I have done. There is a great deal in the peoe's charter of which I approve ; but the fi rst thing for the working man to attend to is to increase the amount of intell, genes existing amongst them. I believe there is not so much indisposition amongst the governing power' of this country, to measures which shall increase the working man's power, but the question is, are they fit to be trusted with increased power? It must be remembered, (and unhappily we again bad evidence of the fact), that the working classes have not at all times shown that when a pressure such as the present arises, that they hays as much of intelligence as shall restrain them from committing ex cesses. A working man asked the hon. gentleman what he considered a standard of intelligence for working men ? to which Mr. Montt rejoined: " I consider the best proof of a man's possessing the proper amount of intelligence to be, if he conducts himself like a rational being under all eir cumstanoes."—Some other interruptions having been offered, Mr. Music further said: This is not an election meeting, but I i candidly tell you that having served you honestly for seven years n the House of Commons, I mean to stand again at the next election. I shall stand, too, upon the same basis as I have ever stood, as an honest, indepen dent man ; and when I'm not so, let any amongst you call me to sooount, and I'il answer on the hustings. (Applause.) The hon. gentleman concluded by expressing an opinion that during the next twelve months there would he a greater pressure on the industrious classes of the country than they had yet experienced.—Mr. Spooner, M.P., next delivered a long speech, condemnatory of the present monetary system. He insisted that it was impossible labour could ever be properly rewarded, iron bound as it was by the bill of 1819. There was (he said) an abundance of corn abroad, for which gold would yet have to be sent, and he smelted that the Bank of England was not to blame for not having put the screw on earlier, for that the only result of their so doing would have been to draw upon the working man a greater amount of 'suffering than that which he at present endured. The late Mr. Haskisson, re ferring to the bill of 1819, bad told the chairman of his elec tion committee at Liverpool, that, in the event of a scarcity of food in this country, something must be substituted for gold or the manufacturers could not go on. He (Mr. Spooner) was convinced that the worst of the panic had not yet been experienced, and that some change in the I present monetary system was inevitable, and that the bill of 1819 had been far more fatal than that measure of Mr. Pitt's which Sir Robert Peal had dared to call " the fatal measure of 1797." Adverting, too, to the probable extent of the demand for our goods for America, Mr. Spooner said that one of the merchants resident in this town, who had jest returned from America, and whose experience of the trading concerns of that country wei v z great, had said that, thirteen years ago, the states im two-thirds of our goods and manufactured one- th ird, rt that now the figures were exactly reversed. The hon. gentleman con elided by observing that the currency question was a poor ' man's question,for that, in addition to heavy taxes, by it he was robbed of all the value of hie labour. (Applause.) The memorial to her Majesty's ministers was then put and gree to, and the meeting broke up. fine farts. CABINET OF DUTCH PICITRES.—Mr. Phillips will sell on Friday (to-morrow), "a small cabinet of high class Dutch pictures," the property, it is said, of " a gentleman," and certainly superior to the general run of anonymous sales. There are several "examples by masters of the highest re pute," but nothing pre-emizently geod—nothing, in short, to attract Mr. Hope, Mr. Holford, Lord Ashburton, or Sir Robert Peel. The three " Jan Steens" are rather indiffer ent spesimans of the master, and the "De Hooghe," an interior with six figures, is a blackish example of a painter who was always bright ; among the better elan pictures we may mention No. 21, " The Sempetests," • small dues-quarter figure of • girl in profile, the hands poor and unfinished, but the face full of beautiful expression ; No. 17, "An Archi tectural View," by Vander Heyden--the figures by Adrian Vanderrelde, a email picture and good; No. 13, " View of a Town in Holland," by Gerard Berkheyden—a square in front of the Stadthouse with figures capitally grouped ; No. 32, " A Farm House," by Vander Heiden—small and good, the figures as usual by Adrian Vandervelde ; No. 38, "Canal with figures skating," by A. Vander Neer; No. 39, "The Skittle Players," the best of the so called " Jan Steens ;" sad capital three-quarter portrait by Sir Peter Lely, of the celebrated Sir Isra Morland, in a black dress slashed with white—the ardem much in the manner of Vandyck—this, it is true, would suit Sir R. Peel, who is fond of collecting the heads of Magi& worthies—it is one of the best male por traits Lily over painted. PORTRAIT OP SIR HENRY POTTINGER.—A fnll length portrait of Sir Henry Pottinger, engraved by John Burnet from a picture by F. Grant, A.R.A., has just been published by the Messrs. Graves. The action is easy, the likeness excellent, and the engraving good. This is the first mezzotint portrait Mr. Burnet has done, and we are glad to see so good an example from the hand that gave us the " Chelsea Pensioners" and the " Letter of Introduction " two of the glories of our English school of line engraving. SALE OP MR. COLLINS'S DRAWINGS.—To-morrow (Friday) is the day of the private view at Christie and Maneon's of the drawings of the late William Collins, R.A. The sale commences on Monday. Mies HaWMi'd CONCERT.—Among the benefit con certi of the mason, that given by Mimi Hawes is always one of the most satisfactory. It is not made up of fashionable frivolities, but is generally a judicious ',election, consisting chiefly of good English voml music. Such was the concert of last evening. It contained, in the first place, several of our finest glees, partictdarly Horsley's " By " Celia's arbour," and Webbe's When winds breathe soft," which were exceedingly well sung by Mies Birch, Miss Hawes, and Messrs. Hobbs, Lockey, and Phillips. There were several pleas from Mendelmohn's " Elijah." The aaaeeospaaMa trio, " Lift thine eyes," was beautifully exe cuted by the two Misses Birch and Mir Hawed ; and her of the air, "O, rest in the Lord," was by earnestness and feeling. The air, "Is net wed like a fire ?" and the recitative, " 0 Leak I have laboured in vain," were well deli vered by PM*, bat the want of the orcheetral moom puilmealle simillered then impactive, and they mama, with out kjwiy, be atrial frees the context.

Its title was "Flying Odom; or, Crossing the Frontier ;" and its story, evidently from the Fessea, simply as follows:—The Govevnor and Commandant of Verdun have orders to arrest, the one a young military 'Meer, and the other a fugitive lady from the Convent at k F r ey, who are expected to per through the town, the on the way t 3 Lorraine, the latter en route to Paris. • happens that the parties in request meet at an hotel he Verdun, to which Mime, the young lady from the neamery, has, for the purpose of better disguise, repaired iu mete attire. It is ascertained by the authorities that the fugitives are within tneir "rasp, bet they ear ignorant which of the twos is the liegumed lady. Now, n the -nun is to be se nt back to the maven:, and the officer to Paris, and as the former defines to go to Paris, and the latter to proceed to Nancy, it Is ar ranged between them that the lady shall declare herself the captain—and the captain, winning a female garb, shall pass himself off as the lady. In due course, the pair are arrested, the Commandant, a bachelor, securing the real !blew, the Governor, a jealous husband, making n capture of that lady's representative. Confusion here becomes thrice confounded. Mademoiselle manages to intoxicate the Commandant with his own wine, whilst the military lady intrigues with the Gorentor's wife and her maid, and, in his torn, is forced to receive the addresses of the Governor, who proposes to carry him off at all risks and hazards. As, of course, is fully apparent, the denouement is brought about, when chaos has come again, by free par dons arriving for each of the parties. The plot, therefore, is of the slightest description, and the piece is left to rest upon position, acting, and dialogue. Of the last, we can only say that it was just sufficiently broad to suit an Adelphi audi ence, without containing much that was particularly sparkling. The positions, however, were in many re meets admirable, and the acting of all the parties in the cast was well worthy comedy of a much higher grade. Celeste, as the dashing Captain, and Webster as " the gorgeous woman" of the stricken Duke de Sons ireuse, were each in their way inimitable. It is wonderful, indeed, how they managed to play an well, considering what they had to do, for the piece lasted two mortal hours and a half, slight as were the materials of which it was composed! Cut down to one third of its present length it would, as at present cast, probably prove a succeisful production.
