The mayor (F. Dowding, Esq.) presided. Lord Duncan, M.l'., was present. Resolutions, in accordance with the object of the meeting, were unanimously adopted. In the course of the proceedings the following letter was mad from Lord Ashley :—" Sir,—lt will not, I fear, be in my power to at tend the meeting at Both to-morrow, OA I have business of importance, and also a commission in lunacy on my hands.

SUICIDE AT CHARING -CROSS HOSPlTAL.—Yester da7 afternoon, about half-past one, a most appalling act of suicide wee committed at Charing-moss Hospital, under the following circumstance , :—The unfortunate nubs idual was a person of the name of Samuel Bridges, aged about 30, who was well known in the sporting world as a jockey. Ile had but few friends in town, his mother and chief friends being in Norfolk. Mr. 11. Lingham, the house surgeon, states that he had been in the Dow ward of the hospital as a pa tient for the but /41 months, suffering from an !abscess in the arm with pains in the back, but had nearly recovered, and in fact was about being discharged. Ile was always a well conducted man, and although he showed considerable de spondency of late, he exhibited no symptoms of insanity, or any kind of derangement such as to induce the least suspi cion that lie might despo t ? , himself. At the usual dinner hour he declined taking inner with the other patients, and was observed to go to the window (on the 3rd floor). Ile then took off his coat, looked out into the street for a minute or two, when some of the patients remarked that he was goingto bed. again. In another moment they saw him tilt over, and precipitate himself from the window, lodging for a few anomie on the abutment of the second floor window, and then falling on his face into the area, on the southern side of the hospital. Mr. Linglumn believes the suicide to have been premeditated, as the deceased previously destroyed all his letters and documents. Dr. Golding, together with witness, saw him almost immediately, whilst he was bleed ing from the mouth and nose, with n severe contusion over the left eve ; and Dr. Golding considered that he had sus tained a friseture of the skull, which was the fatal injury. When picked up there were symptoms of life, but ere his removal to the ward he gasped and expired. The deceased evidently watched his opportunity, and the inducement to his communion of the rash act is attributed to his depressed essielition from not knowing what to do after his con. Yi:leseenee and departure front the hospital. The body now swain the coroner's inquest. SUICIDE IN A STATION-H O USE.—On Saturday, Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Westminster Hospital on the body of John Goodall. On the night of Saturday last the deceased was noticed by Sutton, A 221. to be rolling on the cerement In front of the National Gallery in a state of drunkenness, and conveyed by him to the King-sweet sta tion-bow, where some money, gold and silver, was taken from him, and lie was leaked up. At midday, on Sunday, Inspector Shepherd offered to liberate , him on his own re eigninutes to appear at the police court on Monday, but he refined the favour, saying he would rather stay where he was. About a psarter of an hour after ;eras the constable in reserve, hearing a moan in the cell.. hastened thither, and asking, " Who called ?" deceased, who was locked up alone, replied, " I have stabbed myself with a penknife ;" which was found to be the fact, the penksifis being t picked up by his side. lie was immediately taken to e above hospital, where he lingered till Thursday morning, when he died, previously saying that when he did the deed he wan mad from drink.

The prosecutor said he was a porter. The prisoner occu pied a room in his house, and he invariably had considerable difficulty in obtaining his rent. On Saturday night last he went to the prisoner's room and asked for his rent. Ile replied that he could not give him any, but that he should have it on Monday. Witness remonstrated with him, and the prisoner ordered him to leave the room. Directly afterwards he was seized by several persons from behind, rind, while in that helpless position, the prisoner struck him a violent blow upon the head with the poker. Ile was ren dered senseless by the blow, and, when he recovered. he found his clothes saturated iu blood, which was flowing from a wound in his head. Several of his lod;ers came to his assistance, and, after considerable trouble, the prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner called a boy, who said there was no poker in the room. They used a small piece of wire as a poker. The prosecutor cut his head by filling upon the hearth. The constable who took the prisoner into custody, said he searched the room, but could not find any poker. A fall would not cause the injuries the prosecutor had received. Mr. Hall said he most send the case for trial. There was evidently perjury somewhere, and he must say them ap peared taults on both sides. The prisoner was accordingly committed. LEEDS FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. LEEDS, SATuaatv.—The annual meeting of tho above society was held at the Court-house yesterday even ing. Mr. Alderman Cant:Tv, one of the vice-presidents of the society, in the chair. The CHAIUMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meet ing, apologised for not having attended so much to the in terests of the society as was desirable, his engagements rendering it impossible for him to du so. Ile aim" alluded to the political as well a. the social aspect of this society, and took advantage of the opportunity tamed to say that. from what hail recently happeutd, many parties had now a prospeet of having a vote in a way they little expected a few mouths ago, Lord John Russell having intimated his intentim of proposing a measure of reform n'at :tear, should he then be in office. (" Ileac, hear," awl a laugh.) Mr. PLANT, the secretary, read the report, which gave the following particulars of the operations of the society since its establishment on the ith of Jan. 18.50 : Members entered Feb. 18th, Ibio '2.78 holding 373 shares.

The estato was laid out in one main and two back streets, and two terraces—the two latter facing the York-road, and the former running at right angles with the terraces. The whole area had to be levelled, and the main street and the rear of the terraces to be sew (red and paved. The expense of this, togetle. r with legal and other charges, swelled the cost to about 2,500/. The estate was divided into 33 allotments. at 291. 10s. each; except the six corner allotments, for which an extra chan.t.• was made : the whole being hallotted fur according to the rules, on the 6th of Dee:mber. Twenty-five allotments were paid for in full, leaving 53 for which mortgages have been given to the trustees of the society by the respective allottees. The sum duo on the Ist inst. from the alluttees aas 1,6271. Gs. 6d. The total amount paid on account of the estate, up to the same date, by the society was 1,741/.0, 5.1., leasing a balance owing of 751 ( . it that time, however, there was a cash balance in the hands of the society's bankers of 21131. 15s. 241., so that about 500/. would he required out of the contributions of the current year, to clear the estate of debt. At the present rate of coatrihurian., three or four months will effect that object. The retiring committee cannot withhold the expres sion of their hope that this society will exhibit a con:R.l3lde illereage of members during the year just entere :sport. The experience of the numerous and large sock , tirs, on the same prineipl-, established in various parts of the king dom, warrants their belief that the basis is a sound one; and that gradually, but surely, the soundness of the prine:- plc will ruminant a more extended support. True, it is only those who can and will exercise a determined and per sevcrhur economy and thriftiness who will hod on; but for such, the ultimata advantage is a gain of no trivial value. On the motion of Mr. B. Taylor, seconded by Mr. John Simpson, the report, after some discussion, was adopted. Messrs. It. Adams, William Arens, John Andrew, jun., 11.1, John Grimsltaw, 1). Green, Edward Heaton, James Ilarris, M. Jackson, E. Morgan, and John Speed, were appointed the committee for the year ensuing. Scru tineers and arbitrators were also appointed. Mr. Peter a ad, that the eollanlatee were about to males application to th.: gas and water compuaies to put pipes' down nu the cost.: in stork-mood; ant that reveal or the allottecs were preparing to build houses on the estate. As to the expens of the e ntveyances, lie mentioned that the actual east for land charges had only been' /. 13s. 41. to each allotte:, which was considerably less than had been anticipated. lie thought the expense, of conducting the business of the society, which had been heavier last year in consequence of its being the first year, would in future be lighter, nil, at the cleee of next year, there would probably be a dividend for the unallotted member:. A good deal of conversation followed, but principally on points of detail connected with the practical operations of the society ; and, after Totes of thanks to the retiring com mittee and to the chairman, the meeting separated. The Eel 1 of Harrington is suffering from very severe indisposition at Brighton, where he had gone for the benefit of his heulea. UNITED SERVICE ISSTITUTION.-1110 twentieth annual meeting of this institution was heldou Saturday after noon at the establishment inWhitehalliard—Gen. Sir G.

After detailing the proceedings of the institution for the pa. 4 year, the report stated that the present number of members was 4,028, and that there was a deficiency in the estimate of the an nual sub.eriptione amounting to 601., which, however, had been covered by the entrance fees , from which more had been realised titan had been expected. The excess of expen diture for ordinary purposes over income was 601. 13s. 4d.

Addison, Royal Military Asylum, and Com mander IL G. Hamilton, R.N., were elected to fill up va cancies in the council. A gallant officer proposed that, as the institution was an educational one, they should petition parliament for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge, but the meeting not thinking that the subject Mlle within their province, the motion was not pressed. It was also stated that the council had consented to admit foreigners during the period of the great exhibition by tickets from their respective legation> or consulates-general, to the very interesting museum of the institution. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meting broke up. SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRlToSB.—Saturday being St. David's Day, the members of this society held their an nual festival en aid of the funds of the Welsh Charity School. The president of the day was Colonel Rice Trevor, M.P., in the absence of Sir Charles Morgan, who was unavoidably prevented from giving his attendance. I After the te.tud formal toasts, the chairman proposed • "Health and happiness to the ladies who patronise ' the charity," and the " Principality of Wales." • 'these toasts having been responded to with Cam ' brian honours, the chairman gave " Prosperity to the Welsh Charity," and entered into a description of facts which will be found detailed in the following statement of the committee for the past year : " The committee have compared the expenditure of the last quarter, and of the last year, with the expenditure of ' the last quarter of 1849, and of the entire year of 1819, and they find that the expenditure of the last quarter amounts to 701/. 15e. 2d., whereof 781. ss. lid. ii for an insurance of I the school-house against fire for seven years, leaving 1 6321. Ile. 1,1. applicable to the quarter, and that the expert ' diture for the corresponding quarter of 1849 was 685/. • including 66/. ss. for coals ; and as no cook , were paid for in the last quarter, the ordinary expenditure of each quartv• • may be regarded as equal, whilst the number of children in the last quarter was 200, and in the corresponding quarter I of 1819, 190: that the expenditure for the year 1849 a mounted to 3,008/. Bs. 3d., and of the last year to 2,9561. Oa. 6d., Including in the expenditure for the last year 781. be. lid. paid for seven years insurance of the premises • against fire, and 631. paid for a stock of sheets' and coun terpanes, which will last for several years ; and that if a proportionate deduction be made in respect of those items, and carried forward to the succeeding years which that expenditure will cover, the ordinary ex penditure of the establishment applicable to the last year appears to be 2,8.301. Although the number of children on F the establishment during a part of 18.50 has been greater' • than in 1849, yet the total ordinary expenditure for IMO is i less than that for 1849 by a sum of 150/., of which sum the , saving in provisions has amounted to 1201. The committee desire to record their conviction that the economy which has of late characterised the management of the establish ment, has been judiciously enforced during the past year; • • and they , congratulate the governors that the benefits of the , charity have thus been extended to an additional number of children, without increasing the ordinary expenditure of ' the establishment. The exercise of this economy, impor t tent at all times, is especially so now, when the committee has to deplore the death of several :liberal contributors to the funds of the charity." A long list of toasts, including " the health of the Bishop of Llandalf," having been gone • through, subscriptions were announced to a Abfild oza9Ssit and the company separated. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATLRfI. EVENING. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon, family and suite, have made arrangements for leaving Dulain on Tuesday next. The City of Dublin Steam Com pany's 'Packet Eblaua is appointed to convey the dis tinguished party from Ireland. All speculation about the ministerial crisis is for a moment suspended. The contradictory reports brought by every successive packet have utterly con founded our politicians of all parties, and no ono ventures any longer to offer an opinion ou the pro , bable result. There would seem to be a correspond . ing pause in the agitation against the anti-papal ag gression measure, us people are awaiting the arrange , went of the cabinet question, with wane hope that that repressive measure will lie abandoned. This pause, however, is only felt in Dublin, as the agita tion in the remote parts of the country shows no signs of interruption. The provincial papers received in town to -day contain long reports of meetings held in Kerry, limerick, and other parts of the south. A meeting of the freeholders of IVestmeath was to have been held yesterday to petition against tho Whig ministerial measure, and express an opinion on the conduct of their representatives in supporting Lord John ItusselL As it was deemed, however, by the committee that the explanation given in a letter from Sir Percy Nugent, M.P., and that offered through his agent by Mr. Mogan, their other mem ber, were sufficiently satisfactory, and that for the other object of the meeting it was desitable to wait until the new ministry when appointed should de clare their intended policy, nu adjournment was decided on. _ _ The Roman catholic clergy of the diocese of Limerick met on Thursday, for the purpose of exert ing their influence in opposition to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. 1/eau Cole presided, and caldresAtal the assembly at considerable length, but of l' reporters having been excluded, no authentic account of tho proceedings has appeared.
