PARIS, TONSDAT Bviniteo. The Ada] amounts of the military ceremony of yesterday are remarkable for the suppression of its meet important feature--I mean the cry of " Viva rEmpereur 1" by all the regiments of infantry and cavalry, and the omission of the cry by the artillery. I have already stated that there could be no mistake about the nature of the cry, as I was seated myself in the tribune of the ministry of war, opposite to the position taken up by Louis Napoleon and his staff, and the regular re petition of the same imperialist cry produced a marked effect upon all the spectators in my neigh bourhood, mostly clerks of the war office and their &milks, who exclaimed " Cul toqjours le Incase cri on we peat s'y blooper." In fact, the twanging of the r proved plainly that it was not the offizial cry of " Vivo Napoleon." I think it the more necessary to insist on this, as the papers generally, and a great number of people, who affect better sources of in telligence than the publio journals, affirm tenaciously that tbo cries of " Vive I'Empercur!" were very few, and the general shout "Vivo Napo kon." This established, the distribution of the eagles must be considered as a trumpet-tongued announce ment that the empho is at hand. 1 hear that if there had been a regular proclamation of the empire by the army, the ambassadors of the northern powers were prepared with notes of protest, and would have proceeded at once to put the rjuestion to the Presi dent's government whether it acknowledged the treaties of 1813. This proceeding would have been the more menacing to the general peace, as an ac knowledgment of a treaty which had been used as a target by Austria and Russia could hardly be ex pected to be acknowledged as binding and sacred by France. It was noted yesterday that very few English officers appeared in uniform at the military fete, although 1 believe that several hundreds came to l'aris to witness the ceremony. I can only speak myself to having seen two officers of the guards in full tnihtary costume, and these entered the Champ de Mars with the prince's staff, and rode about the field. 1 understand that the absence of the red coats arose from superior orders at the Horse Guards. To the numerous applications made for furloughs the duke, I hear, caused it to be replied that although there was no objection to allow officers u much latitude as possible to witness this military ceremony in a professional point of view, still it would be desirable that they should abstain from wearing their uniforms, as the fete might assume a political character. For this reason the numerous British officers who were present, with the exception of the two above mentioned, were fain to forego the display of their regimentals, and repair in plain coats to the tribunes Provided for them, or such other places as they could get. Among the foreigners in the tribunes General Rosas, the cx-dictator of the Argentine Republic, was noticed. The capers of the President's horse yesterday have drawn much comment in private circles. Some sup pose that the restlessness of his impatient steed was destined to baffle the aim of the supposed assassin. Others remember the witty vote of Charles Nodier at the imperial piebirite in 1804. " Since." he wrote down as a justification of his eccentric election, "it is said that France must have an emperor who can ride well, I vote for Franconi." I hear that General St. Arnaud is created marshal of France. He is the only general advanced on the present occasion to that rank. In fact, legally not more than six marshals can co-exist in time of peace, and there are already five. The only spare baton has therefore been given to the Minister of War. It was not to be expected that the Archbishop of Paris could refuse to ackrowledge the fait accompli of Louis Napoleon's government. His presence at the head of his clergy on the occasion of a great pub- lic religious ceremony was but • natural Inci dent of his office. The opening sentence of his speech—" The God of Peace, whose ministers we are, is also the God of War," sufficiently accounts for the concurrence of the priesthood in the presentation of colours and emblems to the army, and might well have served for the text of an inde• pendent discourse expressive of a solemn hope that they might ever be turned to a righteous use. But the friends of Monseigneur Sibour, who, notwith standing recent misgivings, have continued to admire his character, have seen with poignant regret the needless flattery with which he interlarded his speech. That he should have condescended to echo Louis Napoleon's own words, Mitred but a few days before the Sod of December, in contemplation of the Ireaak Obis SOW= oath, and to tell him that his mina sod resolute will" was supported not only by the stresses of an army, but by the national voice, which formedlds "right," was to give the sanction of hi s sacred authority to the miserable sophism implied in that motto, •• 7,500,000 Vox populi, Vex Dei, impudently emblazoned on the tents of the glittering field, in allusion to that unparalleled combination of fraud, perjury, ignorance, helplessness, and terror which resulted in the misalled "election" of Dec. 20 and 21. The too probable explanation of this lamentable time-serving of the archbishop is that a bargain has been made in return for the support of the priest hood to concede more power to an ever encroaching church. The institution of a comparison between Solomon and David sad Louis Napoleon and the Emperor, is a sad piece of ill-timed flattery, calcu lated to encourage the fatalist tendencies of the Pre sident's mind. I informed you yesterday that M. Francois Argo, the celebrated astronomer, and director of the Ob. mystery at Paris, had addressed to the minister et public instruction a letter, resigning his plebe In cow sequence of his determination not to take the oath of fidelity to Louis Napoleon. This letter is published to day by the Journal des Debuts, and is certainly by far the mot remarkable protest which has yet been recorded against the government of the 2nd of December. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. fell 6,claim at 100.23; the Threes closed without ohmage at 70.70. Railways generally were weaker; laws * thrasboin, Northers. and Orleans fell 2.60 seek ; Central, 135 ; Test* and Bordeaux rose 230 ; and Dieppe, 1.26.

The morning is glorions : the finest by far that we have seen this year. Malignant prophets yester day foretold rain. Bo far, then, the fatalist hero of the fat may continue to believe in him star.

The guns announce that the President has left the Tuilenes, and all is expectation. Monseigneur Sibour, the Archbishop of Paris, followed by the clergy, escorted by gen darmes, and preceded by drums playing a slow march, have just marched in procession to the monumental altar. They mount the three nights of steps. They occupy the whole area of the stairs, with the exception of a small space left open in the centre.

TO-DAT, at their early sitting, the House of Com mons are again to discuss the question whether the CHANCELIAA of the Exeitt:guEa should or should not—mat of the clear 460,0001. of surplus money he has in hand—give up the small sum obtained !rem that thick to trade, this tax upon advertisements. Every liberal member will doubtless be at his post, and the question is certainly one that should be pushed to • division. As to the arguments that mug arise, the whole question of taxes upon knowledge now lies in a nutshell. Unfortunately, however, the logic which is to produce an effect on Chancellors of the Exchequer is not to be learned from ARISTOTLE or ALDRICH, from WATTS or WHATELT. Neither of these writers has spoken of the only dialectic kires which is understood by the Treasury; the arguntexturn d erumenum, the appeal to the puree. ItontAcr HALL, wo have heard, being once in smseammtion with • man whom he suspected to have 'mspreatrid from a certain religious community solely hest Interested motives, took the following method titifying his opinion as to the causeof his friend's region. Receiving no other answer to his segments than a reiterated "I don't see," " Do you see this," he asked, writing the name of the Deity on a piece of paper. " Yes," replied the man. Do you ace it now ?" again asked HALL, covering the ward with • piece of gold, and leaving the man to hem his own conclusions as to the meaning of his tiestion. Now, the interposition of the golden results of a tax AIWA the vision of Chancellors of the Exchequer hi the manner above described. Like VESCASIAN, they perceive no disagreeable odour in any sums that are paid by the tax collector. And hem lies the great danger which threatens the endeavours of those who arc labouring for the repeal of the obnoxious tams. The whole amount of them give something so somithoshis that no Chancellor well give them up without a desperate struggle. Mr. ()ISRAELI will doubtless act to perfection the part of his predecessors. He will be struck with the cogency of the argu sleste; ho will smile graciously at the allusions which may be dexterously made to his own position in the literary world, and be very much shocked that circumstances prevent his indulgence in that fellow &sling which makes so " wondrous kind." But he will do nothing, as we know, if the repeal of the taxes on knowledge in a mass be demanded. A million and a half of revenue is a sum that the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will never sacrifice to any thing of leas importance than —a militia or a Kaffir war. The thing is Impossible. What, then, is to be done? Which of tho two elc slate of this sum is the moat likely to be yielded ? The paper duties? Clearly not ; they constitute the largest share of the whole. They may pay half the expenses of a Kaffir war for a year. They cannot be spared. The news paper stamp? Equally unlikely. What, then, re mains? Nothing but the advertisement duty —a paltry, miserable tax, that is dragged out of the scanty purses of distressed widows advertising for help to feed their children, that is subtracted from the embeeriptions that go to the relief of sufferers by Arm and flood; that is levied on the earnings of poor ushers, goverment*, footmen, cooks, and maids of all work) and that stands between buyer and seller in a throned ways. It is • wretched impost, that pro rate starving poverty from appealing for relief — that keeps down struggling genius, when it would leap Ikon the mire—that will not let one-half the world knew what the other half wants. And all this mishit! is done for the sake of 150,0001. That le the mount to which the revenue is benefited by this nest unfair, this most unproductive—in propor tion to the evil it ca me—of all taxes. Weimanot i the CHANCELLOR of the Exam- OM= Wag still le a firm demand for the repeal deb tax, when he is sudiciently reminded that he gets 20 Bide by It.

The attack on the fortress itself will be reodmid all the easier if you to-day carry one of the entworks. Let liberals be early at their post, and tree in'their 'votes on this matter. 1, isn. from this distance. The priests, elosety massed together, look like a bad of full-blown Cldaa-esters, ' under the shade of a gold and crimson canopy. I am surrounded by my countrymen, and, above all, by my countrywomen. I should think there must be as many English on the field as fought at Water loo. Some of them betray signs of very recent arrival in the country. I just heard a lady exclaim, u the band of one of the regiments struck up a perfect orthodox march, " Oh, don't you hear the Mareeillaise P"—a singular anachronism !At the distance of a mile a cloud of smoke rises among the trees, at the foot of the height of Trocadero. In an instant the booming report of a cannon follows ; it is the signal that the President approaches the Pont do Jena—he enters the field, and without stopping a mo ment gallops at a steady even pace in front of the infantry lines, followed by a staff, in point of num bers, itself an army. Silence and order reign un disturbed ; not a cry of any kind is heard, either from the troops or from the spectators. As the cortkge nears the &oh) Militaire, the President is diatiuctly seen from the tribunes, slightly in front of the staff, and nearer to the troops, whom he salutes frequently as he Ramses. He is superbly mounted on a fiery, or seemingly fiery, black charger, whom he bestrides admirubly, and as he sweeps by, cap in hand, in full view of the central tribunes ' he might well be taken, as far as appearance goes, for the real military commander, which, if report speaks true, he aspimi to become. The President vanishes towards the cavalry on the right of the field, and now, in the rear of his train, we see the Arab chiefs, with their queer night-cap looking head-declare and wrappers, some red and some white, thrown loosely about them like blankets.' They maintain a characteristic gravity of demeanour, manage Louis Napoleon's horses, on which they are mounted, without any apparent effort, and seem surprised at nothing. - Indeed, the scene may not be so novel to them as might be supposed. The sandy expellee of tho Champ do Mars is not very unlike an African desert, and they have long been familiar with the sight of French troops at home. The Pre sident has made the complete round of the field, has descended from horseback, and taken his stand on the grand " estrade" prepared for him in front of the F..cole Militaire, where the eagles and flags are to be distributed. I shall not attempt to describe the ceremony. I have no doubt that it is all going on according to the programme ; but not being able to see through the embroidered coats of the senators, and I know not what other newly made great men who are closely packed in front of me, I can give no evidence on the subject • • •. I see a procession of officers carrying the flags and 'ogles to be blessed at the altar. I see the priest s, still looking like China -asters, but distinctly visible through my telescope, on their knees at the steps of the altar. The man is being performed. The religious ceremony . over, the marching past commences. Every regiment, and every deputation from a regi ment, marched in turn before the President, still on his grand stand. This is the stage of the proceedings at which the cries of " Vive Empereur" were ex pected. To what extent these expectations were realised you wilt learn from your official accounts. It is proverbial that no species of eight-seeing is more disappointing than a review. Faithful to my engagement to speak only of my own impressions, I can only say, that although most of the regiments cried out with more or lees vehemence, I have not the least notion whether they cried " Vire l' Empereur," " Vive Napoleon ror " Vive le President !" I can pretty well guess that none of them cried " Viva la Republique!" My state of ignorance is shared by all those around me, although we wore within a few yards of the troops while they passed. You may judge from this what idea can be formed of the re sult of the demonstration by the multitude who throng the distant partsof the field. I can vouch for , this—that some of the regiments, and I especially I noticed some Hussars among the number, were silent. Others shouted but feebly. A lady near me charita bly accounted for this, by observing that they were " probably very tired." Four deice:Jr.—The review is now over. The pub lic are admitted to the Champ de Mats to view the decorations; the troops are marching home to their dinner, and the visitors are dispersing. A BRITISH SUBJECT SENTENCED TO DEATH IN ROME [A brief statement of the following intell , received by submarine telegraph from Paris, ap in a portion of yesterday's isapreesioo] : ROME, MAT 4. The inquisitorial criminal tribunal of the Sacred Consulta, by which so many iniquities have been lately committed in the way of unjust sentences and unproportionate severities towards political offenders, Inmost added to the list of its amenities by secretly condemning to death a British subject, named Edward Murray, the son of a meritorious British officer, to whose one I have already frequently referred. The charges brought against him are of a nature to warrant entirely such a sentence were they fully substantiated, but the nature of the proofs, and the mode in which the trial (a process of three years' duration) has been conducted, are so profoundly buried In the mysterious gloom of the consults tribunal, and the facilities of defence granted to prisoners in civilised countries have been so entirely denied in the present instance, that it is really impossible to get at the truth, and all that I. known is that Murray, together with eight other persons, has been condemned to death. That assassination, the crime of all others the most detestable in the eyes of an Englishman, should go unpunished, can certainly be the wish of no honest man ; but at the same time no one can approve of sending a criminal to his last account without allowing him a fair chance of saving his life by disproving the evidence brought against him, and so exculpating himself in the eyes of his judges. It is to this effect, that the determination of the British government has been made known by Lord Malmesbury, and another note has been sent by Mr. Freeborn to the Cardinal Secretary of State this morning, expressing his anxious expectation of a reply to his pre vious communication of the 26th, and his earnest request that his eminence will use ;lard offices to obtain a mitigation of the ty, by eneyeising the sovereign clemency of the Supreme Pontiff. In furtherance of this object, a petition has been drawn up and signed by the British imitate and residents at present in Rome, who , although the major port of them have alre ady left the city, are still sufficiently numerous to demonstrate the interest inspired by the fate of their countryman. The object of this petition, besides the humane one of saving Marrero life, is to delay the execution of the minnows until the irregularity of his trial may be proved. The amnesty granted by the Pope, after his return from Gaeta, prevented Murray from being I considered as • political offender, therefore, as • criminal offender, he ought to have been tried by the ordinLey criminal tribunal of Ancona, with a right ct appeal to the superior tribunal there, and a right of final appeal to that of the Consults of Rome, bidden other advantages, each as that of choosing his own advocate. Instead of this, he has been tried by the Consults at once, with no right of appeal to any other tribunal, no public hearing, no knowledge of; the witnesses against him, no liberty of diesehm his own advocate, and no right to concert a plan of istme with the one allotted to him by the t, who, by the laws of the I Consults tn is sworn to reveal to his client nothing respecting the witnesses against him. From the secret depositions of these witnesses, awarding to the Consults procedure, and from the answers al the prisoner himself in his primp interrogatories, a summary, termed a ristrstto, is drawn up by the ladies processante, or examining functionary, and presented to the j_udges, who usually decide according to its tenor. It is evident that upon the construction of this risirstio the life of a prisoner may frequently depend ; but it is by no means consistent with British ideas of justice that a prisoner should be condemned through the ser vility with which • government officer obeys the hints of his superiors, exaggerating or suppressing the evidence as the ease may be, and giving exactly the tone required to his summary of the case. If I am not misinformed the papal authorities themselves are aware that the mode in which this trial has been conducted will not bear looking into, nor have I any idea that the sentence will ul timately be carried into effect. The princi pal charge brought against Murray is that, during his service as officer of the police in Ancona, he associated with known assassins, and that a Count Severino and soother Papal partisan, who had been imprisoned by the republicans, were stabbed at night, whilst walking arm-in-arm with I him away from die prison, he having had orders from the governor to release them from confinement, and convey them safely out of the city. That he should be an accomplice in the murder because the victims were stabbed whilst under his protection, is rather a non sequitur; but, however the case may be, it seems reasonable to insist on a fair and regular trial, with out resorting to such secret and exceptional tribunals as the mis-named Sacred Consults, nor can Mr. Free born be sufficiently praised for the zeal and energy which he has displayed in endeavouring to achieve this object. Their Imperial Highnesses, the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michel of Russia, arrived here at about 1 eight o'clock on the evening of Sunday, the 2nd inst., being a day sooner than they were at first expected. The news of their intended arrival being divulged in the morning, au immense crowd turned out to see them in the afternoon, and their highnesses would no doubt have been much fluttered by the concourse of people assembled in tho Piazza del Populo, bud they arrived in reasonable time, but, as they did nut enter the gate until after dark, most of the spectators had got tired, and returned home. The princes were accompanied by the Russian minister, M. de Doe tenier, Generals Philosophoff and Kerff, Colonel Xraskanutski, Princes Gagarine, and 'l'roubetskoi, and Count Sehovaloff. Their escort from the Pupal frontier to Humane, two poets from Home, consisted of Homan gendarmes, and front there to the Hotel des Isles Broanniques it was furnished by,Freach dra goons, the French army having in all things the prece dence over that of his holiness. Yesterday morning Gen.Gemenu,thc diplomatic corps, and grand officials, were recived by the Princes, who afterwards re paired to the Vatican in full uniform, to pay their respects to the Pope, and spent the afternoon in visiting some of the principal monuments of anti quity, the Commendatore Visconti being deputed to act as cicerone, in which quality he had die honour to officiate for their father, the Emperor, when he visited Home during the reign of l'ope Gregory XVI. The Homan Five per Cent. Console feel the in fluence of the high prices of stock at Paris, and are still on the rise, the last quotation being 95 1 . Ex change OR London, 493. It is expected that the hum= princes will make some considerable pur chases in Rome, as the banker Torlonia has received instructions to place ample funds at their disposition. Our Roman correspondent has frequently reported the circumstances of Mr. Murray's case. No later than the 30th ult. he wrote the following : " Mr. Murray, the son of a meritorious British officer, himself a husband and a father, has now been in a horrible prison for nearly three years, debarred from consulting with a legal adviser, and prevented from receiving the visits of his mother, his wife, his child, or his friends, save through the bars of his prison, and in presence of two sbirri, all communication going on in the Italian language. AU the legal proceedings have been hitherto conducted in a secret chamber by the crimi nal fudges and their underlings, the prisoner is not allowed to examine the witnesses against him, nor even to be confronted with them, or to know who they are. He is permitted to have no advocate save the one appointed by the criminal tribunal itself, and even with him he is prohibited from having such conferences as are necessary to concert the plan of his defence." NAPLES. NAPLES, MAT 4. The official journal, during the last few days, con tains a variety of decrees more or less interesting. Those relating to commerce are important. The trade of the free port of Messina has been crippled for a long time, owing to the vexatious regulations of the custom-house, which even after the full restoration of the freedomof the port of Messina.prohibited goods to be freely circulated from that depot throughout the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. A royal decree, bear ing date April 20 (Palermo), permits the exporta tion of foreign goods to all parts of the royal domi nisns. This is highly favourable to the interest of merchants and British interests generally, as nearly the whole of the trade of Sicily is in the hands of Engli.h houses. Prince Satriano, the lord lieute nant, has insisted on these new arrangements, to which the Neapolitan Minister of Finance was long opposed. A wall is now constructing, which will mark the limits of the free port. Another royal decree empowers the house of Rothschild. to pay the dividends on the now Sicilian Fires in Naples. This stock has for a long time been gradually rising, and has eventually reached 1001. To throw the papers into circulation, the govern ment has offered for sale crown lands, which may be paid for with the paper of the New Fives; by this means, speculators who did not care to hold the stock, owing to its illegal creation, now buy more freely, as they can at any time torn it into bona fide property. The Neapolitan Fives have risen in proportion, and are now advancing daily, although sales have been effected at 107. It is reported that government is pushing them up, with a view of reducing them to four-and-a-half per cent. Should such an event take place, no doubt augmented sums will be thrown into the Sicilian funds, which is the great aim of the present Minister of Finance. 'I he government, however, will take oars that the National Bank shall offer advantages over land and houses, which are subject to a tax of 20 per cent. The holders of Neapolitan stock are quite in the dark, as no statement of the National Bank meets the public eye. Lord Napier left Naples yesterday for Malta, being now appointed to her Majesty 's embassy at Berlin. Mr. Bingham is expected in Naples, to sup ply the post of his lordship, as secretary of legation. M Thies is on his way to Naples. - - TUSCANY. FLORENCE, MAT b. The French fleet has continued its route towards Naples, after outing anchor at Leghorn. It is still said that the Leopold an laws will not be repealed, in consequence of the intervention of Joachim Murat, the French ambassador. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 6th publishes a retort from the Junta of the public debt on the converses. It appears from it that of the 5,400,000,000 reels to be converted there had been promoted demands to the amount of 4,959,405.817 teals, viz., at Madrid, 1,384,708,854; London, 1,413,500,000 reale ; Paris, 784,865,340 reale ; Amsterdam, 1,376,831,160 teals. A Madrid letter of the 6th mentions a report that M. V igodet had refused the post of Minister of Ma rine, and that General veleta, the minister of war, intends to resign. The rumour of an intended coup d'et a t against the constition was still current. GERMANY. VIENNA, Mat 8. The meeting of the Emperors at Peran, whither the Em of Austria had gone to meet the Russian monarch, is stated by an eye-witness to have been of the moat affectionate nature. "It was," says my informant, "a solemn moment when these two powerful monarchs embraced." At the entrance to Vienna a numerous suite, a crowd of generals, several archdukes, and the Grand Duchess Alexandra, awaited the arrival of the two monarchs. When they appeared an immense accla mation broke tom the assembled crowd. Soon after his arrival the Emperor Nicholas visited the avast relations of his Majesty, the Arch-Duke Francis Charles and the Arch-Duchess Sophia. On the 10th a grand military review of 30,000 men will take place, in honour of the Czar. It is not known how long the Huainan Emperor will remain among vs ; some say four days. The Emperor and Empress of Russia were met at Camel on the 7th by the King of Prussia. After • short stay the Emperor set out for Vienna, where he arrived (as stated) at mid-day, on the Bth ; and the Empress, accompanied by the King of Prussia, proceeded to Breslau and Berlin. The Empress and King reached Berlin on the evening of the Ath. The minister and some high state dignitaries were presented to her imperial majesty, and she subsequently left for Potsdam, with the King and Queen. TURKEY.

THE DEFEAT OF MINISTERS. MANCHESTER, MAT 11.—The news of the defeat of ministers by the large majority of 88 an Monday evening, upon the distribution of the four vassat mats in parliament, was received here with great satisketion by s majority of the public, who, however they may sine that south Lancashire and the West Riding are ma represented in parliament, laugh with scorn at the motion of giving more power to the landlords. There are pkuty Ohms towns filled with manufacturing populations le South Wilshire (though Kr. Disraeli rather amusingly classed than, the rural population in a re cent speech upon Mr. Hume's motion), which have far greater claims to representation under the Reform Bill than the covaty ; because the representation under the 101. franchise alarms would really reach the Chancellor of the Paoheignies rural friends of the towns, whilst under his Monday s proposition it would only reach the fifty poundals. Ire have Burnley, with a population of fifty or sixty Hayseed people • Cheeky, with probably thirty thousand; and may ot her maskierable towns, as Middle. ton, Dizerna. and Accrington; besides Birken band en ini,beadir, and the cluster of towns on the North Chubb% twist hi , called fitelybridge, Newton, Hyde, and Theldalliik • little Ins Gran seventy themend people. VISITATION OF Ntnritnar.B.

THE NEW ASYLUM FOR FATHERLESS CHILDREN.— Last evening the anniversary festival in aid of the fends of this institution took plant at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, Mr. S. M. Pen, M.P., presiding. The usual routine toasts were gone through, and a speech was deli vered by the chairman kin proposing Prosperity to the Institution ") strongly advocating the claims of the charity to the support of the public, and explaining the principles upon wkkh the asylum was sicablidued. lie stated that the institution was formed for the purpose of relieving fatherless childres without respect to age, sex, place, or party • and the only qualification was that the child must be destitute, and above the condition of the mere pauper. In the space of seven years the board had received on the foundauos 178 children, and they had now under their care 101 ; but the numbers seeking admission had been far greater t han thole madly received to the benefits of the charity. It was therefore thought expedient and necessary to erect a suitable habitation for the accommodation of not less than 200 children sufficiently near to London for neve nista, and yet so far removed as to secure the hat air and ventilation. This additional aocommodation was deserving of every encouregment, and it was confidently hoped that the great benefits which had already an hem the institution would have the effect of stimulating the friends of the charity to renewed exertions. The subject of the toast derived increased interest from the fact that the children of the asylum had previously walked round this room, end the chairman took the opportunity of observing that their appearance afforded a stronger argument in fa vour of the charity than any he could advance. The claims of the institution wen so far responded to that the list of subscriptions announced in the bourse of the evening com prised an amount exceeding 1,0041., of which sum a dona tion of 250 guineas wee presented by the chairman.
