The genend meeting of We mooeintion took place yesterday, at Willis's Rome, under the presidency of the Duke of CAYBIIIDOL who was supported b the Duke of Marlborough, Lord Penman), Earl de Grey rod Ripon, Lord Elcho, Lord Bury, Lord Duch, Lord Airlie, Lord art., Banelegh, Lord Wharncliffe, Sir John Burgoyne, Th e QUI/MAN, in opening the proceedings, Adana/ the sanction of the meeting that the report, which had been long in the poasession of members, should be taken as re ceived and read. The immolation had now appeared so oiled' before the public at its general meet ings legs that it might pro perl y be considered an established and truly na tio nal undertaking ; end it became his duii to make a f lew, observations in regard to ,the allusion Pit i i . rial tite tht ilit irti lib liliat t Pra = all to the position of the president. According bah rules of the society, the promisee ay elected annually. He had the honour to fill the position the satioud Year tic be was requested Lorrain it another .year ; ant it trete . 1 insined,for him to plata the' oleo in the hia4of the Vito ciatioa. ,He felt greatly favoured by the copfidence which had been reposed in him ; bat he trusted that the rules were such that he would now be required to deep Use honour. He was happy to find that, on the whole, the state of their finances was very flourishing. They had a balsam in 'Chia hands If 'the bankers" amounting to 1,3001., and bad added to their invested m one y 2,00 W., making a toted of 3,8494 On the other hand it was to be regretted that the annual subscribers had not increased to the extent that was expected. The present number was 1,000, and it was certainly a sourced regret that they did not increase from year to year. It was of course quite oat of his power to state why that increase did not take plan, but the reason might perhaps be found in the fact that the privileges which belonged to officers in the volun teer service were not sufficiently understood, and he appealed to them to exert themselves towards promoting the interests of this association. There were other subjects which be was happy to bring wider their notice. In the first place be should state that there were 12 colonial associations in direct communication with this, and there were, moreover, 28 county associations, making in all 40 societies in connection with she National Rifle Association. This was • fact of great importance, because it showed that the public had full confidence in the regulm ti3lll and arrangements of the association, and which regu- blame and arrangements be hoped were becoming the law of the land as regards rifle shooting. ' The smossdul practice of the art was progressing very favourably, and in proof of this he might mention ' that one marksman had lately hit the bull's eye seven con-1 wicutive times at a distance of 1,100 yards. There wash)* doubt., therefore, the society had done a great dad of good in this country ; for it should be borne in mind that rifle shooting was cmanpustively a modern science in England, and yet our foreign friends had hem beaten out of the field, for they really could not compete with our own marksmen. This was quite sufficient to show that the principles of this association were generally recognised and adopted, not alone in this country, but in every part of the world. He had to magnitude them oaths fact that the Prioce of Wales had consented to be come the patron of the society. It was • compliment to the association ; not, only because it came from one in so exalted a position, but also because it proved that the na tional feeling which had ipontansosely sprung up in favour of the society was appreciated and shared in the highest quarters of the state. The fact, moreover, went far to show that her Majesty herself took • lively In terest in the propene of this 'mediation. Last year a dim minion took place se to the manner in which the Qinan's prize should be shot for. Upon this subject it wearied he should my that her Majesty was anxious that the rules laid down by the late lamented Prince Consort (who took • great deal of trouble in this im portant matter) should in no way be departed from. He erefore hoped that there we uM be no further dimmed= upon the subject, and that they would see the neousaty of avoiding any alterations in the existing rules upon that point. Dear.) Lord Eteno mid it might be irregular to propose any de viation from their rules, but there were many rills that were more honoured in the breech than in the observance, and with this feeling be begged to request that his royal highness would consent to fulfil the office of president for the next year: At the mine time he took that opportunity of stating that the council proposed to form a committos to revise their rule". The La; of eunsainaz said that after the complimen tary expression of opinion in regard to himself, it would not become him to refuse the honour which had been offered him. He therefore accepted it with great satisfaction but he could not help saying that he th oug ht th e ru l es o f the animation ought to be adhered to, and if they were to be changed, the sooner that idea was carried into effect the better. The report wu then adopted. General Em proposed that the wine-presidents be re elected, and that Earl Cowper, Lieutenant• Colonel Glad stone, and Sir John Burgoyoe be added to the number. Sir it. Elummos seconded the resolution, whickwas carried. Reeolutions were then paned at the instance of Lord Arlie, Colonel Bigg, ho., appointing members and extra ordinary mambas of the council, and a cordial vot e o f thanks laving been granted to the chairman, the business terminated. SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE SOCIETY. A public meeting in furtherance of the object of this society was held yesterday evening in St. James's-hall. The chair was taken by Mr. Sawum, ostar, and on the platform were Canon Champneys, the Rev. Dr. Cather, the Rev W. Arthur, &c. The Rev. Dr.C•rrixe entered into specific explanatioes with regard to the objects of the gaiety, which were, he said, summed up in the words, "The sufferiog of the poor and how to relieve it—the salvation of the last and how to promote it." The total annual income of the people of this country might be assumed, he said, to be nine hundred millions a year. That was 301.. per head; bat probably 501. per head was the average income of the inhabitants of the metropolis, making 150,000,0001. per annum for the use of which they were responsible to as stewards of what bad been 'en trusted to them. A tenth of this income was the lowest amount which, in accordance with the principles of that society, ought to be devoted to religion and chanty ; and after making deductions on exeunt of the irreligious, the vicious, and the selfish, there still remained a great deficiency in the contributions for those objects. He was informed by persons who were well acquainted with the chief religions and charitable societies of London, that there was scarcely one of them that was not in a position of anxiety sad per ' plenty as regarded the openings for greater usefuloess for want of funds, and that, notwithstanding the fact that the wealth of the eouutry had nearly doubled in the last twenty yews, the income of one of the most nicceesful missionary societies had remained stationary during that period. The time had arrived when the economics of Christianity must be carefully studied. The specific object of that society was to systematise the beneficence of Christian —to substitute conviction for caprice, and for mere solicitation the operation of internal priociple. Its aim was moreover decidedly practical. It wanted all to set apart at once at least a tenth of their income on the first day of every week for religion and charity, leaving them to select the special objects of their beneficence ac cording to their own jodgment ' • and if this principle were generally carried oat, habits of liberality would be formed and all the beneficent institutions of the country would be strengthened. Canon Cease:me followed with an address on impul sive giving and capricious withholding, in which he stated that he himself adopted the principle of setting apart a tenth of his Income for religious or charitable purposes thirty-two years ago, when his income as a clergyman we only 75!. a year, and that he had acted upon it seer since. The Rey. W. , fiRTECII, who spoke next, said be had given a I tenth for 28 years. during a portion of which his income was exceedinglyounall. A resolotton approving of the principle sod °Ned of the society was afterwards adopted, and the proceediop termi nated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

The Prime of Wales leaves Leaden, from the Bricklayer,' Arms station, showily hetes fist hoer, so as to be enabled to go on board the vowel me Seediy as potable at ball past 11. The Prince and ramie will Lod on the pier at a quarter past in.

The 'royal train is fixes/ to Bert from Gravesend at s quarter beton 1. It is timed ao se to peas through the principal Maims at a mew sot wake than too mils, as boor, bet the time ci the whole jemmy will net mood 40 minutes. It will arrive, therefore, at the Bricklayers' Arms station between MS sod 20 minutes before 2. In the recep tiontuom at this statics the chief authorities of bbs county of Sone, end borough of Southwark will be promoted, to- Ohs with the Lord Mayor and the deputation hem the commit= of Loudon. The members of the royal families will partake of • slight luncheon in the reoeption•room, . . and will enter their te7rriagee to leave the station at about 5 mumble to 2. The time expected to be occupied by the prcesidon pawing from theßriAtieyent Maw stAles to pl/- rn aaoo,.alculatsd from the pees at which a carriage- i horie aidinirily walks, is • little over two hours, and upon these data the royal train has been ordered to be ready at .Paddinsicstot 4 o'clook..-, Allowing, however, for the little delays bectaia to arise on such an occasion, the train is not expected to start much before 4.30, arriving at Slough as neaily is'possible at 5 o'clock, so as to bring the Princess into Windsor just before dusk, at 6. The procesaion through London, therefore, is expected to arrive at London-bridge at about • quarter past 2, to reach Temple-bar at about 20 minutes or • quarter to 3, 1 1 to enter the Park at about half-past 3, to quit it by the Marble Arch by 10 minutes to 4, and to reach the Paddington station by at latent 20 minutes peat 4. All the street' in the City from London-bridge to Temple-bar through which the procession will pass are to be closed against vehicles of every description as early as 10 in the morning. The streets wet of Temple-bar are not likely to be shut before 12, or even later in the neighbourhood of the Edgware-road. The two railway stations, the Bricklayers' Arms, by which the Princer will arrive in London, and the Paddington, by which she leaves it, present just now a marked contrast. The former is being rapidly converted into a magnificent saloon. The walls are quite hidden under • profusion of banners and garlands. The floor is to be carpeted and covered with groups of ex otics and statuary, and the reception-rooms are being deco rated in the most beautiful manner. At the Great Western, on the contrary, nothing whatever has yet been done. The royal reception committee met again yesterday at Gondhall. A number of jewellers who had been written to by the committee submitted to the 'committee specimens for a diamond necklace and earrings to corre spond, as a present for her Royal Highness the Princess Almendro. Those of Mesas. Garrard and Sons, court jewellers, of the Haymarket, were selected by the com mittee. The necklace chosen for presentation to her Royal Highness contains 32 diamonds, varying in weight from four to 13i carets, the centre stone being of that weight. There are six diamonds in the earrings, and the whole of them for brilliancy are not to be surge red. We understand that the total weight of the stones is 171 ante. These will not be handed over to the committee, until it hu been decided by the corporation in what way the promote tion shall be made to the Princees. A special court of Com mon Council is to be called for Friday next, and the opinion of the members of the corporation will be taken on thesubj ect- A communization was read from Sir Richard Mayne relative to the question as to whether the carriages of the Lord Mayor and corporation should go beyond Temple-bar, dating that it would be necessary for police arrangements to be made for the carriages of the Lord Mayor and the City authorities stopping on the City side of Temple-tar, which might sully be done by the carriages as they arrive at the end of Chancery-lane, in Fleet-street, pasaing up Chan cery-lane. He would have that part of the street which was in the metropolitan police district kept clear for that purpose, but the part adjoining Fleet-street, which is in the City, must be kept open by the City police mikes the corporation should desire that the metropolitan polio, should keep that ' part choral°. He begged to repeat that which he had stated to the deputation, viz., that it would not be in his power to provide room for any of the carriages of the City authorities to pass through Temple- Mr, as the whole of the street would be required for the various persons connected with the City of Westminster, who it has been arranged will take their place in the flout of the royal procession on entering Westminster. The com mittee next proceeded to discuss the mods of returning on reaching Temple-bar, ►nd it wu finally imaged as follows : —That all gentlemen taking part in the procession should assemble at Guildhall by half-past 10 o'clock precisely to breabfart. The carriages are to start at 12 o'clock precisely is the order detailed in the published programme, end to pass aloft King-street, Cheepside, turning into the Poultry and King William-street, terming round on the south side of London-bridge, and forming a line of procession to await the arrival of the royal carriages. The procession upon arriving at Temple-bar will turn round and return down Fleet-street in the same order as in moving up to Temple bar, the royal carriages passim the moving line of procession as it returns back to GuildhalL The tickets were yesterday sent ont from the Town Clerk's office of those persons entitled to seats within the railings of St. Paul's-churchyard, and it is the desire of every member of the committee that rosettes should be worn upon the melon. The brilliancy of ►he weather yesterday again brought out immense crowds of people to witness the progress of the preparations for the procession, which now begin to sesame • tangible shape. London bridge was, during nearly the whole day, so crammed with people as to be extremely difficult of passage, and the main thoroughfares in the City presented • scarcely less thronged appearance. On the bridge; the pedestals to bear the statues of celebrated Danish characters, the 100 tripods, in which incense will burn on the arrival of the royal corofge, and a few of the flagstaffs surmounted by gilt elephants and reverie, have already been erected on the parapets, and the other decorations are being rapidly com pleted. The triumphal arch opposite the Fishmongers hall has received a handsome gilt cornice and several allego rical figures, and promises to be the most attractive struc ture throughout the whole route. The illuminations are receiving continual additions, and bid fair to rival those at the celebration of the peace with Russia. By direction of Major• General Sir R. J. Decree, K.C.8., commandant, acting under official instructions, a battery of Royal Artillery will on Saturday morning next take up • position on ground adjoining the Royal Arsenal station of the North Kent Railway, and at • given signal lire a fru de jMe, when the royal train from Gravesend appears in sight. A goad of honour composed of the Royal Artillery will be stationed on the platform on each side of the line, and the Royal Marines will form a guard of honour at the dockyard station. The platforms of both stations are now being decorated with evergreens, colours, Ac. ARE THE SCAFFOLDINGS SAFE?

Tug BISHOP OF OXFORD AND THE ROYAL MAR RIAGE.- The Bishop of Oxford has addressed the following letter to his archdeacons, touching the observance of the day of the Prince of Wales's marriage : --" Coddeeden Palace, March 4.-14 deer archdeaoon,—Having been applied to by some of our brethren of the clergy for advice as to their conduct on the day of the marriage of the Prince of Wales, I desire to convey to you my opinion that any rejoicing, to be real, moat be manifested en the day of the wedding. The Lenten fast was originally an appoint ment of the church, with which the Archbishop of Canter bury had, and still has, by law, a right to dispense ; and, from the communications I have received from his grace, I consider that be bas dispensed with it for the ►uspicious day in question. I would therefore advise all, under the circumstances, heartily and without misgiving, to take part in the loyal rejoicings which befit this great coasaion.—l remain, my dear archdeacon, yours very truly, S. OXON." HER MAJESTY AND HER BALMORAL DEPIE(DENTS. —Of all the admirable traits in her Majesty's pausal cha meter, none is more endearing than the interest she takes in her dependents, and her anxiety to promote their happi ness. A very touching instance of this has just come to oar notice. We do not need to say—and could not if we did—what fabulous sums would be given by the proud mil lionaires of England for a place la St. George's Chapel at the great ceremony on Tuesday. But the pleasure and the honour for which these men mast sigh for in vain will be enjoyed by the humblest gillie oo the highland estate of Balmoral. Her Majesty has graciously invited the whole of her dependents there to be present at the marriage of her son, and ordered arrangements to be made for the convey ance to and from Windsor of as many persons as can possi bly be spared from their duties upon the estate. They in their turn have evinced their affection for their royal inie tress by many simple but pleasing expedients—such, for instance, as sending to many distant places chaplets and crowns of heather cut from the Prince's own forest in Brae mar.—Edinburgh Daily Devie.e. PRESENTS TO THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA.—At Birmingham a desire having been expressed by numerous ladies and gentlemen that a suitable wedding present should be made to the Princess Alexandra, the Mayor, a few days ago, issued a circular expressive of his cordial coocurrencc in the propriety of this peooseding, adding, also, that it was proposed to open a public subscription for the purchase of some specimens of Birmingham art manu facture to be hereafter selected. This proposal has been very generally responded to, and yesterday a meeting of the subscribers was held at the Midland In stitute, the Mayor in the chair, at which a resolution was passed appointing au influential committee, who was to solicit subscriptions for the purchase of the Repoosee table muufactured by Messrs. Elkington, and exhibited at the International Exhibition. With regard to the present to be made by the ladies of Ireland, Saunders News announces that lady Rachel Butler and the ladies of the committee have selected one of the most magoificent specimens of real point ever manufactured in that country—via., a lace shawl and parasol cover, from a celebrated Dublin house. The following instructions for thevolunteer force to be assembled in Hyde-park on the 7th inst., have been issued from the War-office : The volunteer force, of which the attendance In Hyde park oo the 7th instant has been ssoctiooed by the Secre tary of State, must assemble there by 2 p.m. oa that day. The several squadrons, batteries, and battalions, will proceed to the perk right in front, and enter by the gate. specified, as follows :—All infantry corps com • ng from Pad dington and west of the Marble Arch, to enter th. peck by the Victoria-gate, and the sodomite by the west actrance. Infantry corps from Euston-gore, king's-cross, and Shore ditch Stations, and from north of Oxfordstreet, and Holborn, and from the Tower Herniate, to enter the perk by the Marble Aroh, and the eraclosure by the north entrance. All other infantry corps, and the whole of the cavalry and artillery, to enter the park by the gate at Hyde-park corner, and the enclosure by the south entrance. Only battalions which are completely formed will be permitted to enter the enclosure. All bands must cease playing or arriving at the entrance of the enclosure ; and on reaching the ground set aside for the assembly of the troops the force will be drawn up in two lines, the cavalry sad mounted bat teries of artillery being deployed, and the net of the fortis being formed in contiguous quarter-distance columns right in front. These lines, one facing the east and the other facing the west, will consist of the following brigades, ar ranged from right to left in the order here indicated:—Lioe f a cing Feet -Cavalry Brigade, Artillery Brigade, Ist Infantry Brigade, 3rd Infantry Brigade, sth Infantry Brigade, 7th Infantry Brigade. Line [maim West —Bth Infantry Brigade, 6th Infantry Brigade, 4th Infantry Brigade, 2nd Infantry Brigade. As soon as the whole force shall have been thus formed, the columns of infantry will be deployed into lines four deep, each company daring the deployment closing to its leading flank. The ranks will DOC be opened, but the officers will take post in review order in front of the line. As the prooesaiou passes between the lines the infantry will present arms by brigades in succession, a band of etch brigade of the line facing the east being told off by the brigadier to play " God save the Queen" and the " Danish National Hymn." As soon as the procession has quitted the ground the infantry will re-form quarter-disteoce columns right in front, and clam to intervals of mix paces on the right battalions of brigades. The brigades of the line facing the west will then s.dvaace until they are abreast of those of the other line, when the battalions will change front by the wheel of subdivisions round the centre, and halt m that the whole force will form one continuous line. If time will permit the torus will then march past the general commanding. For the purpose of leaving the park, the battalions which entered by the Vittoria-gate will retire 50 paces, halt, and front; and those which entered by the Marble Arch will advance 50 paces and halt. The force being thus arranged in three hoes, the several squad rons, batteries, and battalions will leave the park by the gates through which they respectively entered, moving off I. sucesession from the left of the first and third lines, and from the right of the second line. No rosettes or favours are to be worn by the volunteer corps trader arms on the 7th instant. Commanding officers of battalioos are requested to see that their companies are carefully sized, according to the rule prescribed in the Field Exerciee of Infantry.

Y. AV PROPOSED NEW PARK FOR FINSBURY. - - A special meeting of the Metropolitan Boded of Works was held yesterday, at the office in Spring-puttee ;. Mt. J. TIMMY= in the chair. The meeting was thecielly called to consider th e arse to be panned in reference to the act to enable the Behavelitan Board of Works to form a park for thenortbern suburbs of the metropolis, to be called "Finsbury Park," as further continued by the 113th section of the Metropolis Local Management Amendment Act, until the 17th August, 1863. Mr. Beviion, in bringing forward the question, detailed the steps which had been taken by the board, white had eventually led to the paring of a bill for the making a perk for the northern districts of the metropolis. Bs did not mean to my that new parks were to take precedence of improved streets, bat it was his opinion that if they nowt neglected doing something they would altogether Ices this opportunity of forming a park for the distracts referred to He put it to the members whether, baviag °Maned as act et parliament fur such a work, they were now prepare d to allow that act to expire, and allow nothing to be . He moved that se be taken for the purpose of obtaining so much of the land as is referred to in the repmt of the works and improvement committee as is bounded on the north by the doyen Sisters-road, on the east by the Ones lanes, on the south by Gipsy-lane, and on the west by Blackstock-lane. Mr. SHIPIIKIID seconded the motion. Mr. TAMILS supported the motion, and referred to the manner in which Victoria Park was appreciated by the thousands who daily reeorted to it for the purposes of health and recreation. Mr. BaooKcin opposed the 'potion, believing theta park was not required for that pert of the metropolis. He moved as an amendment that this question be postponed for three mouths. Mr. HUDSON seconded the amendment. Mr. CENIZEN did not believe that the ratepayers would object to • small additiorial mar for so valuable as im provement. Mr. BEVAN did sot see that the park proposed was re quired, and was not prepared to add to the load taxation of the metropolis. Mr. DALTON said that board had no means to carry out the work but by direct taxation, and he thought, although they had the power, that it wasrather unfair to apply sewer rates to ouch purposes. Still as the legislature had not given them other means of taxatiou, and looking at the moderate c together with the importance of having • park for Fury, be should give his anent to the motion. Mr. Doaxax supported the amendment, and observed that the board had great difficulty in raising money for really urgent pompom, and it was now proposed to expend about 100,0001. in making a park for the north side of the metroia, where the people had already green lanes and other hheaallthy places opfe to them. On the south side of the river it was proposed they should have a park for Bar nioadaey ; but although they bad there nothing but bricks and mortar the proposal had fallen to the ground, and even the embankment on the *oath aide of the Thames was hardly thought of. When the board divided there appeared : For the amendraeot 7 Against it Mr. FRLEMAN Slid, seeing the amallonis of the numbers of the board, he should move that the further consideration of the questioa be adjourned for a fortnight. The board again divided, when there appeared for the amendment ten, against it ten. The CHAIRMAN gave by casting vote against the amend ment. Oo the original motion being put there appeared : For the motion l2 Against it -4 Mr. B:vacs then moved that the question be referred to the streets committee, with instructions to bring up • report on the financial arn•gemeata end on other matters. The motion was agreed to and the board adjourned. Yesterday. at the meeting of the St. Pancras vestry, a resolution was unanimously adopted protesting against the Metropolitan Board taxing the ratepayers of the metropolis far a public park for Finsbury. and calling upon the mem bers for St. Pancras at the Metropolitan Board to oppose the some.
