The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the bank, in Lothbury.—Mr. Alderman Salomon , took the chair, and called upon the secretary to read the (Tort. which was as follows: In consequenee of the resolution paned at the last general meeting of proprietor., recommending that there should be a half-yearly meeting of the company, and that the general treeing now held In March should take place at an earlier period of the year, the directors bare called this si.ecial meeting for the purpose of making a half yearly repeat, and for the additional purpose of altering the deed of settlement, so that the annual meeting of the proprietors shall, in future, be held on the third Wedneelay In January. The directors have accordingly to report that, alter defraying the total expeaae of management, making allowance for all bad and doubtful debts and paying the income tax, the net profits of the half-year amount to 24,83e1. 16, 11d., which added to 100,6471. 16a. 11d., the balance of unappropriated profi a at the commencement of the year, make a total of 123,411411. 13s. 10d. Out of this sum, the directors now de clare a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, upon the paid up capital of one million. After the payment of this dividend, amounting to 3 1 ,0001., there will remain a balance of unappropriated profits of 93,4844. 13, lad. Thedividead now declared will be pay able on Monday next, the 24th inst., instead of, as heretofore, no the 10th September, and in future the half-yearly dividends will be payable in January and July. Tr e directors now by to call the attention of the proptietors to the situation of the time for holding the annual mceung. The legal adviser of the bank has prepared for consideration a resolution rtaktng such an alteration in the deed of settlement as will enable the annual general meeting of proprietors to be held on the third Wednesday in January, Instead of the first Wed isitaj in March. As it will be necessary that this revolution, if , be confirmed at &amber meeting of the proprietors, the • directors will duly convene such meeting on Wednesday, the 16th August next. The result of this resolution will be that the annual general meeting of the bank will, is future be held under the deed, on the third Wednesday in January, and a half-yearly meeting may be coaled specially by the directors, either on tbe third Wednesday in July, or on any other day whenever it shall be deemed necessary or exped eut. The directors have the satisfaction of dossing this report by stating that the business of the hank has continued to increase, and they doubt not that when a revival shall take place in n the commerce of the country, the company will reap the benefit o large capital and 'vended eonnexitms. 1.31/4/3 ova WLSTMINSTIZ Bass, 30Tn Jura, 1948.

He hoped, however, that the period was corning when they would be able to avail themselves of the revival of commerce to increase their business with safety. He begged to call the attention of the meeting to the fact that they were called together for the express purpose of altering the deed of set tlement in order to enable the directors to call the ennui' meeting in January, instead of as heretofore in March. Mr. Levy asked if some mode of electing new directors in a more popular manner could not be devised, as there was now no appeal to the proprietary when a vacancy was to he filled up. Mr. MOSELEY objected to the number of di rectors, which ought in his opinion to be reduced to 12, and then any vacancies filled up by ballot. He thought also that the report was defective in not having ex plicitly set forth the fact that the rest had been drawn upon to make up the dividend en the half year. Why was there this deficiency ? Did it arise out of the operations of the branch banks ? If so, their nunt'ler ought to be reduced. He also elegized to caution the directors against making ad vances on warrants for colonial produce, as they were little better than waste paper. Another question which he wished to put was as to the causes of Mr. Rennie's retirement from the direction. Mr. Tim objected Loam chairman's going into any details respecting the causes of Mr. Itennie's retirement from the direction. Mr. ltinour observed that in every former year the rest had been added to, and six per cent. interest divided on the capital. Whence arose this deficiency ? Mr. SALOSIONS said he would answer all the ques tions put to him as well as he could. With respect to the election of directors, the board and himself were quite ready, if means could be devised for so doing, to afford the proprietary an opportunity of expressing their sentiments as to the fitness or unfitness of candidates for the direction. With respect to advances, they were made first on the character of a man, and next on his security, but it was only when character was exhausted that warrants became in question, and it would be very unfair to refuse accommodation on such securities within fair limits. With regard to Mr. Rennie he must say that no lose had to any extent been incurred on his account, and as the inquiry into the cause of his retirement would inflict pain and do no good, he must beg to be allowed to say nothing more on that subject. With respect to the diminution in the last half year's profits manifested by the report, that was owing to two causes, namely, that the losses incurred within the last half-year exceeded the average of former halt-years, and that the whole amount of those losses fell upon the present half-year's dividends instead of being spread over the whole year. As to the branch banks and their utility, he must soy they had been good children, and that if there had been a loss, it was to the operations of the parent bank that circumstance was to be attributed.—ln answer to qur stions as to the specific amotipt of losses Incurred during the last half-year, the chairman ski that the bad debts made during that period were 14,0001. The only e ‘ uestion for the censiderstion of the shareholders was, would they continue to rely on the exertions of their disecton ? Use, they would adopt the report. After some observations from a proprietor respecting the salaries of the director', the report was unanimously adopted, and the proposed alteration in the deed of settlement having been agreed to, the usual vote of thanks was given to the chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. 14,T93,184 1 81 Paorrr no Loss A d.

Witness told him if be would render an account of the monies he had received he would not give him into custody; he, however, refused to do so, and denied having received anything, until it was clearly proved by letters from the damn% firms that he had. On Saturday he was taken ill, and Mr. M'Murdo, the prison surgeon, attended him. He was then labouring under the combined effects of mental excitement and drink. Oa Monday his mind appeared to be somewhat affected, and he became suddenly tranquil, and expired without a struggle in about an hour after. The surgeon said the cause of death was delirium tremens.—Verdiet, " Natural deeth."--Fotta PERSONS FOUND DEAD IN THE RIVER.—By Hr. W. Carter, on the bodies of three persons found dead in the river. The first was taken at the Hero of Waterloo inn, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, respecting the death of A. Lae, aged 10 years. The deceased was the son of poor parents, residing at No. 7, Salutation-place, Cornwall-road. On Sunday last the deceased was amusieg himself on the Surrey side of Waterloo-bridge by playiag with a toy boat, and in endeavouring to catch hold of the same he walked too far out in the water and disappeared. An alarm was raised, but the body was not found until the following morning.—A second inquest was held at the Star and Garter, Waterside, Battersea, as to the death of G. Cook, aged IS years. The deceased was bathing in the river off the Surrey ►hore below Battersea-bridge on Saturday lest, when he by some means got out of his depth, and before assistance could be rendered he was drowned.—A third inquiry was gone into at the same place, touching the death of Charles White, aged 17 years. The deceased was bathing on Monday after noon last off Wandsworth, when he was seized with the cramp, and disappeared. He could not swim, and although every search was made for him the body was not recovered before Tuesday—Verdict, " Accidentally drowned."—At the close of the first inquiry the coroner was informed that the body of a youne man had been picked up yestertay morning near liun e erford-bridge quite naked, and rather decomposed. The deceased was carried in a shell to the vault of St. John's Church, Waterloo-road, where it was identified to be the body of Robert Bryant, aged 19, who lost his life on Sunday last off Battersea. The inquest was accordingly fixed for Friday (to morrow) —Somme HY A. LICENSED VICTUALLEIL.—before Mr. W. Baker, at the Nurtb Briton, Commercial-road, East, en the burly of Mr. Benjamin Sharp, the landlord of the above puldichouse. Joseph stated that he was potman to the deceased, who was a licensed victualler, and aged 41 years. The de emed bad behaved very strangely during the last month, and bad frequently complained of his head. On Sunday night last, about 11 o'clock, witness went to the bedroom of the deceased, and upon opening the door saw the deceased lying upon :he bed, bleeding mon profusely. His head was nearly d from his body, and eraser was found lying near the bed covered with blood. Charlie Harrod said he had known the deceased five year', and during the last two years he bad been at times deranged in his miad. He had latterly drunk eery freely, and on Sunday evening last he appeared more calm. His wife died very suddenly about two yearn since, and an inquest was held on the body. Her death affected bias very much, and his grief was greatly increased by the death of a eon, 14 years of ege, about four months since. The deceased was embarrassed in his eircum. stances, and his trade was not so good as it was formerly. The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict of "Temporary Insanity." appear very e:early why it is more despicable that he should work for their sake, than az the eons munist system for the sake of the idle and stupid among his fellow-workmen. A man exerting his lull skill and energies, practising self-restraint, and out of what he makes sod saves beyond his less industrious and prudent fellows supporting his family in decent comfort, and edu cating his children to make them more valuable members of the next generation, is doing nerviest to the community which it is illiberal and cruel to ce , by speaking of his love of mammon and his want of fraternity. Rather let us applaud him,and recommend his neighbour, who blusters in the beer-shop and never entered the savings bank, to follow his example. The workman has reached a high point when he sur rounds himself with personal comforts and ele gancies. They an all inducements to him to tax his skill. Worn evil times come he wi.l make considerable efforts be fore he Imes them, and if he have become well impregnated with the spirit of thus making a gentleman of himself he will strive bard for their restoration when bettor times !s -tuns. The picture of the high-toned workman has been beautifully given by one whose pride it was that he be longed to the working classes, and who showed how much steadiness and high spirit c ould do to make a workman a great roan—Ebenezer Ell ot : You seek the borne of taste, and And The proud me-hanic there, — Rich as a king, and lens a slave, Throned on his elbow chair; Or on Ilimi. reedlegLocke Beside hie open door ; Why merit why envy worth like blot The carpet on his door And behold the other side of the picture: You seek the home of eluttery— " Is John at homer . you say; " No, sir, he's at the Sportsman 'it Arms; The dog-fights o'er the way." Oh, lift the workman's heart and mind Above low sensual sin; Give him a home--the home of Mate — Outbid the house of sin! This prayer should be devoutly responded to by every well-wisher of our race, except the poetical license which bids some third party " lift the workman's heart." and " give him a home," &c. These are things that can only be done, if they are to be done, by the workman himself. One man thinks he has solved the problem by a total ab stinence esciety--extother by hiring a field and amusing about the one thousandth part of a city population with the novelty of cultivating little square allotments of ground. It is doing good rather than harm to make one additional sober man ; it will at least do no harm, and may be bene ficial, to tempt a man out to dig in the summer evenings. The only evil of such things is that people seeing sobriety and gardens round them suppose that this is a little leaven which has leavened the whole lump. They forget the power and magnitude of the work ing classes, and the meagerness of the effect of topical reme dies. The convocation the members of which =Lot be respectable without taking a aoleme and public oath of ab stinecee is Mil; the evidence of a great diens.. If the men were not corrupt this minute bmy called a total abstinence society would not require to erect such a rampart of vows and other isolations between itself and the rest of the com munity. In the middle classes and the aristocracy hard drinking used to be the rule—moderation the exception. The system has been reversed without vows, and the quan tity of liquor still consumed by the working classes, to whom it is more injurious, will he reduced, if it is to be so, by the sax.e cause—an elevation of tone and feeling, increased eel:- respeA, and a consciousness of higher resrionsibilities. There is no propensity implanted in mankind that has not its good as well as its evil development. Pride, ambition, and vanity are, like avarice, tendenci , s plentifully abused ; yet it is possible to imagine their diffusion amongst the work ing classes in such a shape as to be productive of good. The workman has generally toe little professional pride. Hit emulation is more apt to be exhibited its the tavern or the trades union than in the exercise of his creative skill. Some social arrangements have certainly tended to foster this lethargy. However great may be his genius and energy he is not likely to be known beyond the workshop : It may be as impossible that the capitalist could have exhi ited the mag nificent wares to be seen in his shop without the skill and industry of the workman, as that Murray could have pub lished " Childe Harold" without the aid of Lord Byron; yet the admired production is spoken of only as the manu facture of such or such a house; the man whose intellect and energy have given it all its excellence is unknown. In Eugene Sue's " Wandering Jew," an eccentrically benevo lent princess insists on putting the name of the ouvrier on a beautiful vase. Eccentric princesses may do this from time to time, but the workman will not hold a higher position than he does in any permanent shape till he has gained it for himself, without being handed up by an eccentric princess. There have been efforts from without, and efforts from within, to raise the labourer's position. Of the former, it may generally be said, that they have seldom done harm, but that those who believe them to have any more than a limited local or temporary effect, are in general grievously mistaken. The body is a vast and powerful one, and at tempts made to change its condition from without, like level. hinge made on or mines sunk in the crust of the earth, ar apt to appear great in themselves, while their proportional effect is very small. The main influences on the men of the working classes, whether for good or evil, come from within. The great movements by which they have attempted to keep up or to raise their condition have been strikes and combi nations; and in my next letter I shall inquire how far they have been successful in accomplishing their object. IRELAND. OUTBREAK AT CARRICK-ON-SUIR.— PROCLAMATION. An outline of the following appeared in yesterday's Erpress : DUBLIN, JOLT 18. The crisis would appear to have commenced, and to have had operation, where all men who know the temper of the people would have anticipated, in the county of Tipperary. The formidable organisation which the club system assumed in Carrick-on Suir, the enrolment of 2,000, out of a population little exceeding 18,000, the parade in avowed opposition to official warnings, is known to all your readers. The government have sent a special stipendiary into the district, as I have already stated ; and what pre sented the moat grave feature in the case, the head of the organisation was openly and avowedly assumed by the Rev. Mr. Byrne, catholic curate in Carrick. This rev. gentleman marched at the head of the clubs of Carrick to the meeting on Slievenamon, l where he made a speech that led to his arrest. The rev. gentleman was arrested in the afternoon of yes terday, at Carrick-on-Suir. The information of the occurrence, coming from such a distance, is necessarily vague, but about the main facts there is none. The reverend gentleman, after his arrest, was conveyed to the Bridewell in the town, which is a strong building, and there he was lodged for the night, with the intention of conveying him to Clonmel this morning. The distance between both is twelve Irish miles. The news of the rev. gentleman's arrest spread rap'clly through the town, and immense crowds instantly collected, which, being joined by the peasantry from the vicinity, soon as sumed a very formidable aspect. They ap proached the Bridewell with cries and menaces, de mending the instant liberation of their priest. The 'police refused compliance, but the populace, embold ened by their overwhelming numbers, insisted, and the prisoner was let out to them, on the undertaking of two respectable persons that he should be forth coming when called upon. They did not proceed to any violence. There was no magistrate to act. The town, of course, was completely in their power all night. These are all the facts as they have reached town. It is said that special information of this occurrence was in the hands of the Lord-Lieutenant this morn ing by five o'clock, and that his excellency instantly transmitted the contents of the despatches to England by specialsteamer. Certainit is thattheShearwaterput her steam on this morning and was on her way out of Kingstown harbour—whether upon this or tome other service I can only conjecture. The privy council has been sitting all day, and the government journal of this evening contains the following PROCLAMATION; . . . 011.414 D FITS AS FllLlSAM.—Yesterday her ME =lines Albert, and the rest of the royal family, with their presenee the fete given at Willow Bank, the residence of Arthur Webster, Esq., in aid of the bath s and wash-houses in Gouleton.equare, Whitechapel, and several of the nobility were also present. Her Majesty was present at the performance of a grand concert under the direction of Signor Costa, and at which the followirg distin guished artistes (who kindly gave their services) sang with their usual ability : —Mesdames Oriel , Castellon ; hidlle. Alboni ; Signori Mario, fainhurini, Lablache, and M. Roger. As also during the dinning of the Counters de Flahanlt's Quadrille, the Countess of Ealinton's Juvenile Quadrille, and Lady Rild , sbury's quadrille, in the large tent encted for the dancing. M Robert Hnudin had afterwards the honour of giv'ng his Bane Fantattique in press. ce of her Majesty in another part of the grounds, with which she appeared much pleased, retiring at the conclusion to the mansion, where Messrs. A. Sed3wick and Szates' concertina quartet , party performed several pieces. Thos royal party lett the grounds about 7 o'clock. Dancing was kept up till a late hour, Mr. C. Coote's quadrille band sal the band of the Horse Guards being in attendance. Considering the price of admission (two guineas), and the numerous and fadtionable attendance, this charity must have derived c nriderable lime- 1 fit. It is to he regretted that the fire did not end without an accident. The Marchioness of Clenricarde's coachman having been called to take up, drove hastily out of tha nar row thnroughfare appointed for the carriages of the ladies patronesses. and was in the act of entering the main road when a vehicle coming in the opposite direction caused the coachman to pull round his horses suddenly, the effect of which was, that the carriage swerved considerably, and the unfortunate man was thrown from the hoz with great Tic,. limes. His right temple was badly wounded, and his wrist fractured. The horses, released from control, galloped forward, and ran past a string of carriages drawn upon the near side of Putney Ilighatree t, one of the narrowest thoroughfares in the vicinity of the metrop• lis, most fortu nately without coming in contact with any of them. Two individuals who risked their lives in endeavouring to stay the progress of the animals—the one Sergeant Brine, 01 the V division of police, and the other the coachman of Mrs. Go. e— were knocked down and seriously injured; but the hors a were ultimately secured, just as they were about to pass throurh the tollgate leading on to Putney-bridge. The in jured parties were promptly attended to by Mr. Tate, sur geon. The case of Lady Claor,carde's coachman it is feared ta a very bad one ; the others, it ia hoped, are not a i serious. AUXILIARY SOCIETY IN AID OF TILE CHARTER itot:th SQUARI INFIRMARY. —The annual dinner of this society took place yesterday, at Highbury Barn Tavern, when about one hundred gentlemen assembled. Mr. S. B. Brooke presided, and in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the infirmary," alluded to the large number of persons who had been relieved since its commencement. It appeared that during last year tho number of patients ad mitted was 549, of whom there were—Discharged cured, 263; materially relieved, 145; considered as in curable, 6; discharged for irregularity of attendance, 41 • died from cancer, 1 ; and remaining on the books, 93. The total number of patients received from the foundation of the infirmary to the end of 1847 was 4,905. The toast was drunk with acclama tion. It was followed by " The health of Mr. Alderman Copeland, treasurer of the society," proposed by Mr. Briggs; of the chairman, proposed by Mr. H. Hoare; and also similar compliments to the chaplain and to Mr. F. Salmon, the founder of the society. The latter gentleman returned thanks in a very eloquent address. A collection was made among the company its behalf of the society,which amounted to 151. Is REVOLT OF CONVICTS IN NEWGATE.—Yesterday morning a great deal of excitement prevailed amongst the offieiels of Nee gate from a discovery that the convicts in one of the wards were in a state of mutiny, and had barricaded the only entrance into the ward, and had threatened the life of any official who should attempt to enter. Mr. Cope, emu muuicating with the commissioner at the Old Jewry police office, orders were sent to the let, 3rd, and 4th divisions to send down all the available men at the respective stations to the station of the 2nd division, while Mr. Inspector Howard was directed to proceed, upon the arrival of the men, to Newgate. The information arrived about half-past 10 o'clock, and before It o'clock exult twenty-eight men were in attendance. Upon being admitted to Newgate they were joined by six of the wardens, to whom Lieut. Munro delivered cutlasses , and the entire body proceeded to the ward in question, and upon the door being unlocked the barricade that had been formed was forced in, and the turnkeys, with twelve men of the police and the inspector, entered. They found twelve young men, from about 18 to 2,5 years of age, standing in a line against the wall with their hands behind apparently handcuffed, but this was found not to the cue. Without a word be ing said the police collared each his man, and they were taken into another ward. Nothing has transpired as to the cause of this outbreak ; the only communication made was that the twelve had all been tried and were sen tenced to be transported. Atter they had been re moved the ward was examined, when it was found that the bedsteads and other articles of furniture were destroyed, the mattresses and counterpanes rolled up, and so blended together in the barricade as to show that a determined resistance was originally intended. The whole of the glass in the window frames was broken. BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—About 6 year ago a meeting of the members of the building trade of the metropolis was held at the Freemasons' Tavern (a report of which appeared in the Express at the time), to lay the foundation of an institution for providing relief to de cayed builders, of 60 yearn of age and upwards, and also to provide the means for erecting and maintaicing an asylum for the reception of decayed master builders, their wives and widows. The institution was established ; and yesterday the first anniversary of its existence was celebrated by a banquet at the place of the first meeting. The chairman on the occasion was Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P., and about 1,50 of the principal master builders of the metropolis and its suburbs attended to support him, and to assist in carrying out the objects of the society. From the report which was read it appeared that a large number of persons had entered their names as subscribers to the institution during the year, and that. notwithstanding the depression in trade which had prevailed, the prospects of the institution were most promising. A very liberal sub scription was obtained at the table, both for the relief and the building fund, and there is every reason to expect that both objects of the society will speedily be carried into effect. —The usual loyal, complimentary, and explanatory speeches were made, and the gratification of the company was en hanced by a vocal entertainment, in which several profes sional singers of both sexes took part. ENGLISH HOMCEOPATIIIC ASSOCIATION.—The mem bers of this institution held an annual meeting at the Hano ver-square-rooms yesterday evening. W. H. Ashurst, took the chair at ' , even o'clock, and having briefly laid before the meeting the object for which they had met called upon the secretary to read the report of the committee. In this document the committee stated that they belt called upon to declare their conviction that the present time was one which imperatively required all persons anxious for the diminution of the miseries which accompanied disease to adhere to gether, and to use their combined efforts in the sup port of the homeopathic system. Its supporters amounted in number to 895. The report then went on to complain of certain members having seceded from their body for the put.. pose of forming a society in opposition to them, but the com mittee hoped that the effect of the secession would be further energy on their part in working out their objects. The com mittee concluded by recommending the society to form a hospital fend towards the construction of a hospital, and suggesting that a more frequent communication should be held with the members of the society. Messrs. .1. Wilson, M.P., J. Stanafeld, Dr. Epps!, end other gentlemen then ad dressed the assembly in support of resolutions which were drawn up with a view to carry out the suggestions of the committee as contained in the report, and were unanimously carried. The thanks of the meeting having been voted to the honorary secretary, C. T. Pearce, and the chairman, the meeting separated. MORTALITY FOR VIE MILLION.—Last week, at a meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Colonisation, the Earl of Harrowhy is reported to have stated that the population is increasing at the rate of 1,000 souls a day. It cannot be said that government is doing nothing to supply a remedy for this monster evil I for government unctions the sale of quack medicines, than which nothing can operate more effectually as a check to over-population.—Punch. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—EXPOSURE OF A CHILD AT THE GATE OF A HOSPITAL—By Mr. Mills, at the Ele phant and Castle, King's-road, Camden-town, on the body of a male child, apparently shout four months old, which had been found exposed in front of the gates of the Royal Free Hospital.—Hannah Wood deposed that between 11 and 12 o'clock on the night of the 6th inst. she observed a bundle lying near the gates of the Royal Free Hospital. She knocked at the door of the hospital, and the porter opened the bundle, which contained the body of an infant asleep, with its arms folded. There was something the matter with the right shoulder. The child was dressed in an old linen shirt, two calico napkins, webbing roller, an old nightcap, a scarf bordered with black, wrapped in a piece of coarse new canvass. On the bosom was pinned a note, written very nicely in a female hand es follows: 'To the Gover nors of the Foundling.—As my last resource lam compelled to ask that protection horn your charitable institution for this infant which I, alas, its mother, am no longer able to bestow. Should I ever recover myself I will then seek it out, end mast willingly pay whatever expenses may be incurred. Let it be named fOr distinction Aidette.'" The child was taken to St. Pancras workhouse.—Mr. Robinson, the workhouse surgeon, deposed that he saw the deceased child on the morn ing of the 7th, and found it very weak, and having a "burnous abscess on the right shoulder. Having ascertained that it was unable to suck he ordered wine and other nou etahment to be otherwise administered, but it gradually sank sad died on Saturday last. He had since death found ex iling!e effusion of the brain, which was the cause of death, and which in his opinion had existed previously to the ex posure.

When wines took hint he said be could pay the money if his employer would only make out the account. He was taken before the sitting alderman and remanded for a week, and was accordingly removed to the above prison.—Mr. W. Lloyd, deceased's employer, stated that Twaddle had been in his employ . about four years. Some few weeks since a suspicion arose that deceased was going wrong in his account', and it was ascertained that deceased was a defaulter to the amount of 1,2001. He resided at Newcastle, where some of the monies were re- SOLICITATION OF ALMS BY LETTER. SIR,—On perusing the letter in yesterday's paper on the above subject, communicated by your correspondent " Vigil," I cannot resit the opportunity of exposing so de ceiving a system. " Vigil " does not name the parties, but they reside in Lincolnshire, and refer to a reverend gentle man in Seymour street, Portman-square. I called as re ferred, requesting some account of this lady and her rev. husband, but have heard nothing in their favour. I find from additional inquiries that the wife drives her carriage and lives in such comfort, that any gi ft would be conveyed to every undeserving family. I could add more, but I hope this will be sufficient for the public. I enclose my address.— VERlTAB.—Chester, July 18. Sir,--The letter of Vigil," which appeared in your paper of today, is one for which thanks are slue. The clergy have hitherto been great beggars for others; it is a pity they should ever become such for themselves. This would soon destroy their influence and usefulness. Attention should, therefore, be drawn to any case in which a clergyman sends begging letters about in his own behalf. Nothing but extreme Ise. cesaity " should he allowed to excuse his doing this in the first instance, and the moment the necessity ceases he should cease to send them. I trust that this will be the result of " " communication in the present instance. But I take up my pen, not merely to express this hope, but to de • fend the clergy and laity of the county to which the person alluded to by " Vigil " belongs. It must seem strange that they have not taken upon themselves the task of alleviating the distress which that person (or rather his wife, who writes all the letters) somewhat 'lush riously describes. " Vigil " says: "Surely there must be amongst the neighbour ing clergy and gentry sufficient wealth and vod feeling to have prevented the necesity of extending the appeal beyond the c unty, or at least the diocese." Allow me, in defence of those whose character is here involved, to soy, that they have never been applied to. The clergyman who so strongly de scribes his distress to ' , rangers, has not made it known at all to them. The reason may be easily conjectured—if he had done so, the case is not one in which they would have felt themselves justified in diverting their charity from other ob. jects and devoting it to him. Assuring you that this is the general feeling in these parts,* I am, dx.—Utvasze.-- July 18, 1848. • This correspondent, in a pyrirate oommanication, dates from • vicarage in the prebendary of l.insoln. WORKMEN AND THEIR EMPLOYERS. The principle of the communists makes no allow ance for competition increasing the fund to be divided among the competitors. It arises from precisely the same miscal culation that they propose to divide a fund among their workers, after having taken means to prevent the fund itself from coming into existence. They would abolish competi tion, and would then divide equally funds for the produc tion of which competition is as necessary as the sun to vege tation. If men who were not paid according to what they produced, worked as well as those who were the world would never have heard of the horrors of slavery. The lash sup plies but imperfictly the place of remuneration. Men tyrannical enough to withhold the inducements of fair re ward have at the same time felt themselves strong enough to apply the impulse of punishment, and hence since the weak first succumbed to the strong, even to the pre sent day, hes the cry of the slave ascended to heaven. It is not quite correct to say that only the simplest manual drudgery is capable of being accomplished by slave labour. There were artisans and copiers of manu scripts among the slaves of Greece and Rome, and in the law-suit which Demosthenes held about his heritage he claimed a property in 32 sword-cutlers and 20 cabinet makers. Thus there are precedents for attempting to apply coercion to tr,e higher classes of producers. That it would bear any considerable proportien to the effectiveness of com petition is not to be believed ; but still it is the only subeti Lute which the communists can have recounte to, when th, have set their men down to work, with the bargain that each is to do his best; and all are to be paid alike. It is curious to observe that, with this alternative full in view, something like communism was devised, at the beginning of last century, by the patriotic Fletcher of Ssltoun. fie saw so much want and misery among the poorer classes around him, that in bin benevolence he formed a plan for giving every individual a right to subsistence. To bring the fund for this subsistence into existence, however, he found that they must work ; and in his simplicity, having heard nothing of glory an d fraternity, he could devise no other means of accomplishing hie end but compulsion. Hence he proposed that the land owners and other men of considerable income should each be bound to hold so many of the surplus population as slaves, from whom, on the one hand, they were entitled to extract work, and to whom, on the other, they were bound to im part subsistence. If ever there was a case where other impulses were likely to supply the place of pecuniary remuneration, it was that of the tailors of Paris assembled in the Hotel Clichy. There they were, 1,500 men, selected to prove the advantages of the communist system, in making 25,000 suits for the national guards. Their work was the glorious one of covering with the honoured uniform of France the sworn defenders of the republic. The world was looking on to see the first great successful effort of communism. The government gave signal advantages to the undertaking, allowing a liberal price for the dresses, and giving each max 2f. a day as subsistence money. It is wonderful that under such factitious im pulses the experiment did not succeed. It may be fairly said that in this country a set of men thus laying themselves out to prove a great principle would have developed enough of steadiness and continued ardour to have made the trial successful. If the Parisians had been fighting Or - the impulse might have been effective ; but throughout the city to-day, yet no person can account for the general inquietude beyond a vague suspicion of a coming storm. The Carrick-on-Suir affair,alluded to els.where, has come in aid of this troubled state, and quickened the alarm. There may be nothing in the aspect of the times to warrant any real danger, but the meeting last night at Drogheda, combined with the resolutions of the clubs, the movement at Carrick and Slievenamon, and various other indica tions of disorder, have for the first time since the club fermentation disturbed the minds of the citizens. The money market was a little less steady than usual. The meeting of the clubs on Saturday night even tuated in the adoption of resolutions favourable to " religion and social order," and adverse to the main tenance of " British legislation in this island." The representatives of 30 cluos assembled in the confede ration rooms, with Mr. Dillon in the chair, when it was resolved and declared : let. That the end of the organisation was the overthrow of the power of Eng lish legislation; 2nd. That religion should be upheld, and the " legitimate" influence of its ministers main tained ; 3rd. So tar from seeking disorder or enarchy, they wish to secure independence with " the least possible injury to any class," and in the accomplish ment of their designs to put an end for ever to " the sufferings and disorders which have never ceased to afflict our people under the sway of Britain." Mr. Smith O'Brien proposed these resolutions, which were unanimou.ly adopted by the committee of officers. These are the names of the Dublin clubs : Grattan, Dr. Doyle, Hugh O'Donel, Mulyntaux, Davis, St. Patrick, Oliver Bond, Merchants' Assistants, Silken Thomas, Citiserue, Emmett, 'OS, Henry Jackson, Shelmalier, Swift Visited Irish, Swift, Archer O'Connor, Irish Felon, Curran, Shears, Fitage-alti, Fag a bealac, Felon, ()liana ran, Bermuda, Students, Clamart, St. Ruth, Roger O'hieore. Informations wire taken to-day against the news venders who had vi dated the cautionary notice of the authLrities in selling the Nation and Felon on Saturday last. They come under the old act for pub ' lishinz seditious papers, every sale being an act of publication. It is not likely, however, they will be . seriously punished. On reading the article in the Nation on which the informations were grounded, the worthy ma ,istrate looked quite aghast, and asked the ' solicitor for the prisoners whether that was not sedition ? The Kilkenny deputation, consisting of the mayor, meu.bers of council, &e., will arrive in town to morrow to give strength to the league. The clubs in the city of St. Galilee are running up rapidly. 2,000 are expected to join to-night. Much uneasiness pre vailed in that city, in consequence of a rumour that government had resolved on the arrest <f the popular leader, Dr. Cane. THE LOND-LlEUTENANT.—Notwithstanding the semi official announcement in the Observer that letters nominat ing Lord,' Justices have been transmitted to Ireland, I am enabled to assure you that Lord Clarendon will not visit England at present. The gravity of the circumstance con veyed in my despatch • o-day would, of course, be grounds sufficient, but his excellency had already determined to re main on Irish soil. He did, however, contemplate a visit. Mr. NM ITN O'BILINN IN DROONNUA.—Mr. O'Brien visited Drogheda last night, and was received with a triumphal pro cession—bands, banners, trades guilds, clubs, &c. The place of meeting was the Market square, which was densely crowded. Mr. N. Fitzpatrick in the chair. An address having been presented to the member for Limerick, he re plied in a strain which, however intended to be cautious without descending below the popular mark, has, it is reported, brought him under the notice of the executive. He said: Gentlemen, these are not times for speech-making. I came here because I have been frequently told that the inhabitants of Drogheda were anxious that I should come amongst then for the purpose of promoting that great object which has been set forth in our address as the paramount po licy of this country—the union of Irishmen. (Hear, and loud cheers.) And I came here with the more pleasure because this town had alreadydistinguished itself by being amongst the fore most in the kingdom to set the example of that blessed union. Gentlemen, I confess, too, I was anxious to ascertain by what spirit you are animated under the existing circumstances of the times ; for no man who contemplate s She present posi tion of Ireland can tell for a tingle day what may be the requirements demanded of every one amongst us. You will understand that I do not intend to place myself within the operation of that law which would subject me to transporta tion to Bermuda. I am told that it is the desire of my fellow-countrymen that I should avoid committing myself in any way which would place me without the sphere of being able to be useful to them in Ireland. (Cheers.) And, therefore, I shall not on the present occasion say anything felonious. (Cheers and laughter.) I shall not gra ify Lord Clarendon by enabling him to put me into the gaol of New gate or of Drogheda. (A voice—" A cheer for Mitchel.") (Loud cheers.) But I have no objection that the govern ment should know that ever since I have come to the town I have heard some very fighting cheers ,• I have heard sundry expressions which intimated to me that the vast coo -1 course which I now behold with so much pleasure have fully determined on obtaining their nationality. (Cheers.) But undoubtedly there is much to tempt you to consider how soon it may be necessary for us all to have recourse to the last means of justifying a great nation. (Loud cheers.) For what do I find at the present moment ? Within the last four-and-twenty hours I have visited, in prison, four of the moat respected and virtuous men in this country. (A voice : " Three cheers for them."—Another voice : " A groan for Clarendon.") Don't mind groaning anybody ; that is a very poor way of showing your feelings. If the govern ment were desirous to pick out of the whole population Ireland four men whose private and public character wa such as to claim for them the sympathy of the whole nation, they could not have found four men more distinguished every patriotic virtue than the four now lying in gaol . Dublin. Having eulogized the four gentlemen now in New gate, Mr. O'Brien proceeded: While the government at tacked the clubs it was their duty to support them, for let it be remembered that no such object as an insurrection ever entered into the minds of the originators of these clubs. Their object was to organise by them public opinion, and not to leave it at the mercy of any one man, whoever he might be, but to base it on the general feeling of the people. (Hear, hear.) lam anxious, from what I sec here, to per suade yon that it is of the utmost importance that you should observe the most perfect order at all your public meetings. I met at Cork, the other day, above 10,000 people, of whom 2,000 belonged to the clubs. The 8,000 were pressing on each other, while the 2,000 took up their places in regular order, and really looked more numerous and imposing than the mass who were so irregular, and they walked—for we must not say " marched " in these times—(laughter)—in a manner that commanded the highest admiration. Let me tell you what occurred to me in the county of Cork last week. A member of a club in Bantry rode :orty miles in one night for the purpose of conveying a letter to me. It would appear to me that the time is coming, or has perhaps arrived, when communication by post may become unsafe. lam not sure that my own letters are not opened. I believe the letters of others are. Therefore, if I wanted to send a letter from Dublin to Donegal, I should wish to see such an establishment of clubs through the country, that it could be passed from hand to band without giving any man the trouble of going ten miles with it, or causing ham any inconvenience or expense.

First the Lord Advocate has ordered an investigation to be made as to the causes of the late riot, a step the precise utility of which it is difficult to divine, but the result of which it may safely be pre dicted will be nothing. Secondly, Bailie Stott has given notice of a motion to petition parliament in order that the congregations presently assembling in the fifteen city churches may hereafter be congre gated in five of these edifices sufficient, as he alleges, to hold all the seat-paying worshippers; the remaining ten to be sold to pay off the debt due by the church to the city ; but the proposition of the worthy magis trate is too extreme to be carried.

The amateur company from London performed here last night. There was a full and fashionable house. On Saturday morning the remains of Masi of Gneldres, wife of James 11. of Scotland, were re-interred in Holyrood Chapel. As formerly mentioned, they were found on the occasion of the demolition of Trinity College Church, and after lying for some time in the Crown-office, were ordered to the royal vault as their final resting place. As it was un- derstood that the magistrates and the Society of An- tiquaries were to attend officially something in the shape of pageantry was expected ' by the on-lookers, but they were disappointed. Precisely at 8 o'clock, a hearse drawn by two horses appeared at the palace gate. At the command apparently of a s"rgeant or corporal, six .oldiers, forming part of the usual guard, presented arms—the coffin, a large crimson one, was taken out, and magistrates, antiquaries, and others, all unrobed, with the exc ption of a pariah clergy- man, followed it to the dim cavern, where all that as mortal of the kings and queens of Scotland has been deposited for centuries.

DISCOVERY OP BASE COIN AT GLARCIOW.—On Friday • last, while two criminal officers attached to the southern district were searching the shop of Smith, a broker. Bridge- gate, their suspicions were excited by the peculiar move- ments of Mrs. Smith, who seemed to be concealing acme- , thing which she carried in her hand. The offices coned the article she was endeavouring to hide from them. This proved to be a portmanteau, filled with some heavy sub ' stance. On opening it they discovered that it was packed ' with penny aid halfpenny pieces, of the reigns of Geo. IV. : and Queen Victoria. The coins, composed of lead, with a I thin coating of copper, amounted to no fews r than between . 800 and 900, and were neatly put up in packages of 120, re- t presenting 10s. in value. Both the broker and his wile were i seined and committed to prison. It is stated that the coins l' have all been executed in Ireland, and were bought there by the woman, who has made more than one voyage Mr the purpose of obtaining them. - A GLASGOW HOLIDAY.—The annual fair holidays have - passed over, and the police have not had to deal with a single a case of assault or disturbance, although the number of t drunken people lying in the stree.s nn Saturday eight and - Sunday morning was very great. The Scottish Guarantee 5 states that about 300 were taken to the different police- ▪ offices in a state of helpless intoxication. On Friday and Saturday the great mass of the population enjoyed them- a II , selves by taking pleasure trips to the country. Oa Saturs:ey i- morning the Ayrshire company sent down a large train, and e on reaching Ayr several hundreds of the passengers went on y board the Briton steamer, and enjoyed a trip to Campbelten W and back. Others of the party enjoyed picnics on the banks of Boon and hills of Carrick. The Caledonian Company Is forwarded a large party to th Falls of Clyde. The Edin 4 ' is burgh and Glasgow opened up the beauties of • e. Campsie Glen to hundreds. The Scottish Central. , r. had a special train for Perth and Dundee, besides taking • te hundreds by the usual trains to Stirling, Bridge.ot to Anan, and the neighbouring country. The steamers were et literally packed from stem to stern. The weather was never a. finer in the fair week, which is proverbial for being rainy. id During the week the Botanic Gardens formed a great point is of attraction for the working classes, who conducted them- I e. selves with perfect order and propriety. The gardens were .. , n. visited by upwards of 77,000 persons during the five days • at on which they were gratuitously open. The excellent con- , of duct of these holiday makers affords the North British Mail' , ii- an argument in favour of extending such places of recreation ' he for the working people. That paper tays:—.' The Potan!c ' I ill Gardens were opened to the working classes last week by I 1 he the munificence of one merchant, and if twenty or a hundred • ta- merchants would follow his example there would be no Oita- ny culty in constructing three or four similar or less extensive, leas elf costly, but still most useful institutions in different quarters of of the town. Those who say that the working classes would id, not appreciate objects of this nature have their I xeuse made 1 ng invalid by fact. Others, who allege that valuable flowers ird and Aruba would be destroyed, if the I " lower " or the Iv- working-claw i s were allowed to have ndtscriminate ad- .") mission, are answered by Mr. Murray, the cutator 'of the t rn- Botanic Gardens. We believe that no other 41,000 visitors wn coming and going in the most leisurely manner ever did lees i .1 and injury to his grounds than the 41,000 who were crowded out on- and in on Saturday in such numbers, and with such Mr rapidity, that they were necessarily left very much But to watch themselves. There are thus two objections Don answered, and two facts established. The working last classes feel infere , ted, as already, in all natural produc- For tiona, and will secure them against injury. Any party who last has ever observed the Bower-pots in the humblest windows, the or the little box gardens in the sills of window', in lanes i 1 ce : where neither flower nor human being has justice, will not Dan doubt the universal interest felt in floriculture. • • • t is We take the Botanic Gardens as one means—only one—and rts- that one a subordinate means of accomplishing 1 ire° im- iof provements. Institutions of this nature have a softening was influence on their visitors. They are full of the material of ion, thought. Their teaching comes from the first source, with- for out much intermediate agency. They afford present enjoy- . in ment, innocent in Welt, cheap in its cost, and harmless io its ew- consequences." . at- et it PROVINCIAL. iver LANCASHIRE. abs.

LEATH FROM CARELESSNESS WITH DRUGS.—Con- an d aiderable interest has been excited at Sheffield by the cir- cumstance of an old man named Thomas °reeves, who, being an out-patient of the infirmary, went to that institution on f Tuesday for his medicine, receiving from the porter a , box of pills, a plaster, and a quantity of salve, composed 18. of the extract of belladonna, the last of which, according to t has the statement of the porter, he was instructed to spread on • the plaster. It seems, however, that from some misap- le , red prehension on the part of the old man, he took a small I late portion of the poisonous salve on Tue sday night, t.nder alt to the idea that it was an electuary. The cpnsequence was, pre- that after enduring great pain, he expired thl following day. 3 It: , has There appeared to be some want of proper caution at the in- it • . firmary, with regard to the fixing of proper labels on the medicine di'Pnsd. gBANK-NOTE FORGERY.—Yesterday Samuel ' l B're - BeWson Holmes, late of Hull, and since of London, who -- -.....• 1... •... e_...A. n..ni.re..... nn Mendav lAA/ nn
