Ts Mb. LITERA TURE. Recollections of the Last Four Popes, and of Rome in their Times. By H.E. Cardinal WISEMAN. London : Hurst and Blsekett. Fame plays sad tricks with human affairs. Justice is painted blind, but the deities who decree as to whose memories shall live after their decease are realty so. There were brave men before Agamem non, but we know them not. Menander's hundred comedies are lost, but the inferior plays of Plautus and Terence, founded on them, remain, and are studied to this day by ingenuous youth. Hyperides is said to have equalled Demosthenes in oratory, yet of the one we have but • fragment, while of the other upwards of sixty orations are preserved. Un doubtedly in many a kitchen fire, in ancient convent or baronial hall, precious reputations have been burnt up and utterly extinguished, and many a worthless monkish legend has been preserved at the expense of some sterling specimen of the noblest literature of Greece or Rome. Even the names of planes have been subjected to a similar caprice. Torneo, a sandy plain, is made by Campbell t o h ave " a h oar y b row , in order to supply the poet with a fitting rhyme. Byron will have it that there was a convention at ewers, and the readers of " Childe Harold" all fall into the mistake. It is pretty well established that when Milton wrote, When the great vision of the guarded mount Looks towards Namaucoa and Bayous. bold, it Wlte the richness of their names, rather than their istriusie importance, which attracted the poet's at tention to these two places, and thus won for them immortal fame. Marys are plentiful in the Highlands —and maids are not rare in Athens—yet all of them shall pus into oblivion sale those two that genius looked on and in an idle monit nt sang. ho it is with the four Popeseardieal Wiseman haecommemorated. They interest us rather for their association with the Cardival than for their own special worth. They seem, according to their devout and eloquent biofrrapher, to have no individuality whatever. What is true of one is true of all. Pius VII. was "good and holy, and was a venerable man." When our author first saw Leo XII., " has countcnnnce glowed with a look of intense devotion;" Pius VIII. was " learned snd holy ;" the only exceptio n seems t o b e G regory XVI., who appears to he more o f a n ac ti ve man o f business and patron of the fine arts. At any rate, in speaking of him the Cardinal writes with more naturalness and vivacity. By catholic readers these recollections will be perused with the deepest interest for the sake of those they especially record, but to the general public their chief interest will be found to consist in the glimpses they give us of the inner life of Rome. The defects of the book are two. In the first place, the Cardinal is too humble; he is weighed down with a sense of the dignity of his subject ; there is no ease in his style. Another fault is, every one is too good and great. There is no shading in his pictures. We feel there is dm lion somewhere. As Fox said of Thurlow it was impossible to be as wise as he looked, so we say of the Cardinal'. heroes that they cannot be u good as he makes them appear. lode< d the Cardinal seems to feel that he hes somewhat overdone his praises, and in his preface seeks to disarm criticism on this head by remarking, if there were " vice, corruption, misery, moral and physical, in Rome, he saw nothing of them ;" and u to wicked persons the Cardinal confesses he has never known them—a most rare and blessed experience. The "Recollections" begin in 1818, when the Cardinal arrived in Rome, in company with five other youths, sent to colonise the English College in that city; and they terminate in 1810, when "it was thought advisable to increase the number of bishops in England, by subdividing the four apostolic vicariates established in the reign of James 11., so u to double their number;" and when "the writer was appointed to the subordinate situation of coadjutor or assistant to one already in possession of a see, with residence, at Wolverhampton, the Venerable Bishop Walsh." The spirit in which the Cardinal writes is of course not ours. We are not so sure as the Cardinal seems to be, at all events in the sense in which he means it, that Pius VII. had been "rescued from his durance, not by the power of man, not by the armies that had almost hemmed him in his prison, but by that Higher Will that keeps in its own hands the hearts of Kings and turns them at pleasure." We cannot think the revolution of France in 1830 a terrible lesson, and certainly we had always under stood that Gregory XVI. was a very different and much less praiseworthy individual than the Pope Cardinal iseman delights to honour. But, after every abatement of this kind is made, the " Re collections " have a certain amount of value. The description of the elections of Popes and of papal processions are written eon onion., and the rich, almost oppressive, gorgeousness of the Cardinal's style is in admirable kteping with them. Our extracts will however refer rather to persons in whom the English public take more interest. In 'chapter devoted to the rimarkable men of Gregory XVI." Pontificate we have his sketch of CAIILDIN•L lICZZOYANTI. I will only say, that I can attest his perf.ct utterance and expression in the few language. with which I happen to be acquainted, and that I hive heard nxtirea of almost every (unify in Europe and Asia, not to mention California, who have bassi witness in my preaence to bis perfection in accent and phew, when speaking their various language.. The general observation used to be, that they would Dave easily taken him for a native each of his own country. This mag nificent gift of universal speech was not thrown away in any sense. It waa habitually emplord in good, in instructing and maiming spiritually many who, without him, might hare remained ignorant or helples.. Though it was natural that he should be fond of conversing in bis many language., I should doubt if ever it was done from love of display ; for he was humble and shrinking on cv,ry occasion. lorked he knew his power. to be a gift rather than an mcquisitMe. His appearance certainly did not bear the seal of lie high intel lectual mark ; for his learning on all suljects was set unto, extensive, and solid. The countenance, which was the dial to the burly and complicated work, above it, was not ..mple, or noble in it. traits. Him brow was a problem to phnmolo gists . though his eyes were heavily premed outwards by what they may have considered lingual faculties. One of this order once told him gravely that he had great facility. is learning langraages. " Bat then." Alezgoranti archly added in tallies roe this wise diacovery, "he knew that I was already acquainted with fifty." Moat amiable too be was, simple and childlike, charitable to exam, and ready to help any one with head or bald. Another Cardinal, equally well known, and a true benefactor of his species, was CARDINAL NAL This Mai eminently worn, from youth to old age, adorned with every priestly virtue, modest end humble, Do that speak to bun of hie own great works, and be turned you away front the topic with • blush and gentle disclaimer, which was manifeetly sincere. His habits were moat simple and temperate. lie rove very early, and after Mass eat down to his books before six, and studied the whole morning, with the interruption de light meal. Of course at one period of his life, both before and after his caniinalate, he had official audiences to give, and be never wee absent from any religious retake at which others of his r a nk a tt en d e d. moment that could be snatched from thee* duties, which were always thoroughly discharged, WAS seized for his fa vourite pursuits; and I should doubt if, during the few moments that • secretary might take in going t•• the next room for a pappeerr , and returning with it, • line was nu t mid or 4aoslat ed from the open manuscript en the table. He rarely went into society, except for • few minutia wham courteous duty imperatively demanded it. A solitary drive, which I have sometimes counted it an honour to deprive of that epithet, perhaps a abort walk, less almost all the rob bery that he permitted recreation to make from his domestic converse at home, with that chaste wisdom that bad early captivated his heart. Soon alter dusk, his servants were dirmisard, hie outer door was inclor.bly bolted, and &luxe with his oodices he was lavish of him midnight oil, protracting his studies to an unknown hour. This retirement and necongeniality with societ obtained I I for has, will these who did not know hint, • of mannensne or haughtiness, which disappeared the moment jos epereeeled his.. Bo yea most affable, kind, sad ready le min by coiassl or suggestion ; and, however interrupted hi his own work, he never betrayed impatience or &deem to get rid of the visit. His countenance, perhaps, e n c ourage d with some that misinterpretation of his character. A moat liable forehead, equal to containing, piled up but orderly within. any mount of knowledge. caught the eye of the Tinto' to • papal function, and generally inspired the desire to know whom countenance it distinguished.

Hie &attires LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 2, 1858. were dignified, modelled on a firm intelketusl type. And undoubtedly his oonversation was serious; to a beholder severe, but not to • listener. One naturally spoke with him on grave subjects, loved to learn from his conversation, listened with respect, with reverence rather, arid felt in the presence of a virtuous and • 'site man, with whom it would be a pride one day to have been familiar. But there was not • particle of supereillousame, or overbearing, or sarcastic manners about him, none of the oppressiveness of genius, or the ponderousness of rare learning. Yet both were dis cernible in everything he said and wrote, the learning and the genius. His mariner was calm and earnest, but unim pseconed ; persuasive and eloquent, without clamour. His published discourses are speciustna of beautiful diction and noble thoughts, . . One ver3o3lllllloll Imputation cast upon him, however, was a want of liberality in permitting others to share his ad vantages. It wed to be commonly said, that he shut that Vatican to scholars, especially from foreign countries, who wished to collate manuscripts fur some particular work. If I have to s pe ak from personal exntrieme, I can only say that I never either felt or observed this failing. I ever found him, not merely obliging, but extremely kind, at all times; and was permitted to examine, to collate, and to copy or trans any manuactipte that I required, or wished to study. And I have generally seen the great reading-room of the library crowded whit scholars busy upon codices. Mere idlers, or persona who came with no definite object, it is very probable that he would not encourage ; but I should doubt if any great classical work has been published in our time, which la deprived of the advantages derivable from Roman manu scripts, in consequence of ouch a refusal to examine them, or if ever any scholar properly recommended experienced a rebuff. Like mod persona, who, ...eking hard thetnaelvee, exact full labour from three subject to them, Mai had his murmurers in the library itself, but time has folly jostilled his exaction of virdance and industry from them. While Gregory filled the Papal seat the Cur Nicholas came to Rome. We cannot do betel! than conclude with the Interview between THR CZAR AND THR POPI. The most painful of his conflict., however, was one face to face with the greatest of Europe's sovereigns, a man accus tomed to command without contradiction, and to be sur rounded by complete submisaion. Ile did not imagine that there was a human being who would presume to read him a lesson, or still lees to administer him a rebuke. It may be proper to minim that the present Emperor of Ramie, while Czuowich, visited Rome, and was received with the utinoet respect by all ranks, and with extreme kindness by the Pope. The young prises expressed himself highly gratified by his reception ; and I was told by there to whom he had declared it, that he had procured a portrait of Gregory, which he said be should always keep. as that of a friend deeply venerated and esteemed. Further, in 1842, the Em peror, his father, had sent very splendid presents to the Pope, • vase of malachite, now in the Vatican library, and a large supply of the same precious material fur the Basilica of St Paul. Still he hod out ceased to deal heredity, not to my cruelly, with Lie catholic subjects, especially the Poles. They were driven into the Greek communion by putting it out of their power to follow their own worship; they were deprived of their cern Whops and priests, and even perse cuted by non violent inflictions and personal sufferings. On this subject the Holy See bad both publicly and privately complained; but so redress, and but little, if any, allevia ties, bad been obtained. At length. in December, 1846, the Emperor Nicholas I. came himself to Rome. It was ob served, both in Italy end, I believe, in England, how ininntie and noredaud were the precautions taken to secure him 'palest any danger of conspiracy : how bin apartment, bed, food, body-guard, were arranged with a watchful eye to the prevention of any *peptise from hidden enemies. lie this as it may, nothing amiss befell him, milers it was his momen tous interview with the head of that church which be had mercilessly persecuted, with him whose rival he considered himpelf, as real autocratic head of a large proportion of what he called the Orthodox Church," and as recognised pro tector of its entire communion. It was that the Emperor should be attended by M. de Bouteneff, be minister at Rome, and that the Pope should have a cardinal at his side. He selected, as hes been said, the English Cardinal Acton. This was not a usual provision for a royal visit, but gave it rather the air of a conference; end so In truth it was. The Pope felt he had • solemn sod trying duty to perform. Could he allow the persecutor of his flock to approach him, and depart without • mad of ezpatulation and even of re proul ? Could he receive him with a bland amide and insin cere accolade; speak to him of the unmeaning topics of the hour, or of the cold politics of the world ? impoesible. It would have been at variance, nut with personal dispneff Ins, but with the spiritual character which be held of Father of the Faithful, defender of the week ; shepherd of the ravened Bock ; protector of the persteuted repreeentative of fearless, uncompromising, martyred pontiff.; vices. of Him who feared no stalking, soy more thin prowling, wolf. It would have been to his conscience • gnswitig and undying re roach, if he had lost the opportunity of raying fame to face wbat be had written and spoken of one absent, or if he had not employed his privilege as • sovereign to second his mission as a Pontiff. He would have confirmed by his cowardice or his forbearance, though it might have been called courtly refinement or gentleness of character, all the etelf-rotifiSence sod fearleseneas of a fanatical persecutor, placed above all but some great moral control. Certainly much hung in the balance of that PonHff's de liberation, bow he ehould act. That meekest of men, Pius VII., bad not neglected the opportunity of his capti vity, to enumerate, with fervid gentleness, to his powerful master, the evils which the church had suffered at his hands. Gregory never undertook any grave work without meuit prayer; and one so momentous as this was not assuredly determined on except after long and earnest supplication. What were the Emperor's intentions, what his ideas, what his derives in coming to Rome, and having no.'eenenly a pereooal meeting with the Pope, it is impossible to conjec ture. Did he hope to overcome him by his splendid pee itenee, truly majestic, soldier-hke, and Imperial ? Or to cajole and win him by soothing .peaches and insincere pro mises? Or to gain the interpreretive approval of silence end forbearance? One must ceejecure in vain. Certain it is, that became, be saw, and conquered not. It has been already mentioned, that the subject and partkulare of the conference were never revealed by its only Ilitoe,“ at Rome. The Pope's own account was brief, simple, and full of con eeions power. I said to him all that the Holy (Meet die tated to me."• And that he bad not spoken vainly, with words that bad beaten the nil., but that their strokes had been well placed and driven home, there was evidence otherwise escorted, An &whin gentleman was in some part of the palace through which the Imperial visitor pissed as be returned from his interview, and described his altered appearance. He bad entered with his usual firm and royal aspect, grand ac it wee from statue-like features, stately frame, and martial bearing; free and at hie sere, with gracious looks and condescending gestures of salutation. Eto he pruned through the long suite of anterooms, the imperial eagle, glorey, fiery, "with plumes unruffled, and with eye unquenched," In all the glory of pinions which no flight had ever wearied, of beak and talon which no prey had yet resisted. He came forth again, with bead uncovered, and hair, if it can be Paid of man, diabevelled; haggard and pale, looking as though in an hour he had passed through the condenoat ion of a pro tracted fever; taking long stride., with stooping shoulders, unobservant, on/eluting: he waited not for his carriage to come to the foot of the stairs, but rushed out into the outer court, and hurried away from apparently the ennui of a die cotulitore. It was the eaglet dragged from hi. eyrie among the cleftsof the reek., "from his nest among the stars," his feathers crumpled, and his eye quelled, by a power till then despised. Life's Problems : Essays, Moral, Social, and Psy chological. London : Bill and Daldy. 1857. There are some books one can hardly read without being the better for their perusal. They strip off from our self-complacency some of that Pharisaic indulgence ever inclining us to " thank God we are not as other men are," or even as the poor publican we regard with so much contempt. This should be the great object of a preacher. If he does his work never so well, however, it is apt to make but a small impression upon us. It is just what we expect, and so we receive it lazily, and it hardly ruffles our com posure. Sometimes an essay by an unknown author, if we read it in a reflective mood, may strike upon our spiritual ear like the still small voice of con science,—all the more forcibly because it does not preach, but resembles rather the musings of our own spirit, because it seems to clothe thoughts, which we have often been conscious of,in intelligible language, and sounds like the prompting' of our better nature. If any of our readers should wish for such a com panion for his solitude as this, we commend " Life's Problems" to his notice.

Last night the tenth exhibition of recent me chanical inventions was opened to private inspection at the Society of Arts, previously to the public opening, which is to take place on Monday neat. The exhibition for the present year c waists principally of inventions for the manufacture of submarine electric telegraph cables, for paying out cables a t see, end for uniting them in case of fracture. There are several models and plans for railway signals, for improving end economising the construction of the permanent way of railroads; contrivances for the manufacture of gas in private houses, in the country, and on bond ship ; and for the more extensive application of steam power to agricultural purposes. These are the prominent features in the present exhibition ; but there are many other inventions displaying great ingenuity, which are intended to apply to the veriotts arts of life. From January, 1849, when the first of these exhibitions took place, to the present time, a marked cha racteristic of them has been that the inventions have, speaking generally, followed the direction of public opinion. Thus, in 1849, when the question of the screw propeller was under discussion, the exhibition of that year was prolific in models illustrative of its application. The exhibition of 18.50 was remarkable for the variety of apparatus Mud:wing different modes of applying the electric power to telegraphic purposes. In 1851 and 18.52 attention was chiefly directed to appliances for improvements in railway, gas, and water works, and manufacturing machinery. The next year was remarkable for the number of models for crushing, washing, and separating gold; and in 1866, plans for the inementisa dehe.mahe nuisance were predominant. In 1868, the genius of Inventors seems to have been directed by the war fever, for in that year new models of firearms, shells, and other projectiles were exhibited in abundance; whilst in last year's exhibition sanitary appliances of various kinds, marine cement,, and other apparatus connected with ship-building were numerous. It is quite ap parent from this short record of previous exhibi tions that the hard and spparently unelastio materiala with which the mechanician has to deal bend, like everything else, to what is no less familiarly than truly termed the " spirit "of the time. In these exhibitions we find the isolated and speculative inventor following, °pa ndowdy or unconsciously, in the general current of the wants or opinions of the time, and to supply those wants or to satisfy thoee opinions he, as it were, deposits his own mind in a contrivance of wood, glass, iron, and so forth. These exhibitions exemplify the "mans egitet uiolem " of the Roman poet; the "process of the idea" of the modern philosopher; and they are the real "spirit-rapping " of the enthusiast. That these exhibitions have been productive of great benefit there can be no doubt, and as an evidence of their good results the Society of Arts is contemplating to hold a series of exhibitions of art and industry on a fur more extended wale in 1881. It would of course be impossible to convey anything more than a general idea of the content, of the present exhibition, and it would perhaps be unjust upon a necessarily cursory survey to select some for special description. The public will have ample opportunity on Monday next, and for two months after, to Inspect the whole without any expense, and to decide for themselves on the relatives merits and usefulness of the models exhibited. In this they will be greatly aided by the Exhibition Catalogue, which contains descriptions of the artiiiee, several of them with illustrative wood•cus. Amongst the most popular, if not amongst the most important, inventions of the present exhibition will be found a " Postage Stamp Distributor," in vented by S. Denluun, Wakefield, and exhibited by Thomas 0. Iveem. This instrument is intended for the delivery of postage or other stamps singly to purchasers, so as to dis pense with the attendance of an °faced for this purpose at post and receiving eflime. One penny being put into the bole near the top unlocks the instrument, and allows the handle on the left to be palled out ; this, on being pushed in, sets in motion two rollers, through which a string of stamps pewees from a supply roller, forcing out one to be pulled off. One stamp only can be had at a time, end halfpence or smaller coins are rejected. Mr. Smith's "patent rope machine" (No. 104), Mr. Mur ray's "improved silk throwing machine" (No. 100), Dr. Gnat's "patent straw mat weaving loom" (No. 186), Mr Chedgey's "patent mangling and calendering machine" (No. 242), Mr. Bridges Adams's "improved fieh•joint for rail way.," and his "railway bridge of small span," and Mr. Clifford's " apparatus for lowering boats" (123 and 124) will attract particular attention. The exhibition will no doubt be visited by great numbers during the coming holidays, and will thus contribute to diffuse a knowledge of the mechanical agencies which are at work amongst us. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. The arrangements preps-atory to making another attempt to connect Europe and America by telegraph during the prevent summer, are progressing actively. The cable, which baa been stored during the winter in the tanks erected by permission of the government in the Key hem Stearn-yard, Devonport, is now being coiled on board her Majesty's ship Agamemnon and the United States frigate Niagara, both of which ships have again been de voted to this work by their respective governments. Up to yesterday 320 miles had been coiled on board the Agamem non, and 84 on board the Niagara. A large number of men ate engaged in the coiling from the hours of b a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, except Sundays, and the whole is expected to be on board by the 10th of May. The additional 300 miles of cable, recommended by the directors in their report to the shareholders, is in process of manufacture by Glass, Elliot, and Co., a sufficient amount of the new capitsl having been subscribed for this purpose. It will have been completed and coiled on board by the second week in May. The t3ciewific Committee appointed to consult and canon experiments with regard to the paying nut machinery have at length so far decided upon the principle of the sheaves and retarders to be used on the present occasion as to be enabled to onler one complete machine, which will be finished in about a fortnight, and which will then be set up at the works of !deem. Easton and Amos, and subjected to severe experi mental tests. When this is done, it is the intention of the directors to invite by circular u many en. ineers and machinists of known ability and eminence as possible to visit and inspect the entire apparatus during a certain fixed period, and to solicit se a favour their critical observations and suggestions upon its form end construction. If no good ranee be shown for further important altera tion in the machinery, it is Intended that the Niagara and Agamemnon, which it is estimated will have been com pletely fitted and ready by the last week in May, shall, before commencing to lay the cable, proceed to sea, and in the deep water, about 300 miles from the Irish coast, re hearse a series of experiments in paying out end hauling in, and put to a practical test eeveral suggestions and spplianoes that hare been proposed to the company by various inge nious persons who have taken en active interest in the sitc oms of the enterprise. The two ships will then return to England end report progress, and under this arrangement, should theexperiments show that important improvement or alteration is desirable in any of the apparatus, there will be time to get it effected so as to enable the expedition to make their final start et a period of the year when, according to the unanimous testi mony of all whose experience of the weather in the North Atlantic has been consults], the sea and air are likely to be in the most favourable condition for facilitating the success o f the undertaking. . . . The Agamemnon is now being put in commission, end will be commanded by Captain George W. Peery, and the Ad miralty have, in addition to the Agamemnon, appropriated the Gorgon, Commander Daymen, and another peddle-wheel steamer, to the tarries of the Atlantic Company, the latter es auxiliary to the Agamemnon to ease of ber needing assist ance, and the former to keep the sailing comes, than being a possibility that the compasses of the ships containing the cable may be affected by the proximity of so largo a roar of iron. It is expected that the United States government also will j aiam slimily despatch to England a large die - wheel steamer on a similar service in respect to the N Thus there will he • total of five Alps of war on the present mos sloe to ',slum this laterite work. la the electrical departmaat the directors have called to the 11 14 of Mr. Whitehouse the services of Professor Thomson, LL.D., Mr. Walker, P.A.8., end Mr. Henley. It is also their internam to consult other electricians and telegrephism, with a view to secure the greatest attainable amount of speed in working through the cable, and the beet practicable form of apparatus for transmitting sigmas. (Stamped Id. Additional.) [TWOPENCE. INCORPORATED SOCIETY 07 LICENSED vicruALLass. Yesterday, the quarterly general court of this society was held in the Beard-room of the School-house, Kennington-lane Lambeth, for tVe purpose of trona acting the ordinaifbeeiness, and also to elect trustees and committee in lieu of those retiring by rotation, at which an unusually large number of members were present. Mr. GOBS, of the Moonrakera Tavern. Stiff ilk-street, Seuthwark, governor of the society, took the chair at 3 o'clock. Mr. SMALLEY, the secretary, read the minutes, which were Confirmed, mid from the financial report, profit end loss ao count, &c., showed that including the previous balance of 7311. la. 2d., the sale of newspapers, 6,2381. ss. lid., re ceipts for advert isemente, &r., the total received on account of the Morning Advertiser during the quarter had been 108334 6s. Id. The birgest number of members bad joined the society during the past quarter, as compared with any pre ceding quarter. The ball had produced 2381. 10s. tor the school fund, and 3431. 140. Ild. had been received for the en franchisement fund, and about 8001. more was expected from the dividends in aid of that fund; 365 members were now on the permanent fund, which was the largest number which had ever yet been on that fund at one time, and It was to be regretted that such number made the ratio 1 out of every 7 members of the society upon such permanent fund. The aumber of newspapers printed during the quarter was 644.60, and the grim profit 1,7051. Ils. The Goveuxon said, after hearing the statement of accounts, he would submit to the court whether it was their pleasure that he should sign them.

Mr. OLtvan moved, and Mr. Buvom seconded, a vole of thanks to the governor for the efficient manner in which he had filled the chair that day, and also for the exertions hs had made for the interest of the society during the year, and wishing him health to enjoy his retirement from the fatigues of office. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and Mr. GARR returned thanks, enuring the meeting that, notwithstanding his retirement from office, the society and its charities would always have his sympathy, aid, and co- operation. On the motion of Mr. GEORGE WALTER, seconded by Mr. WILLIAMs, thanks were awarded to the trustees and committee, which was followed by a similar compliment to the auditors. MT. ROUNTREE proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Smalley, the secretary, for his zealous, active, and efficient services • which was moonded by Mr. JONES (put governor), and als o adopted unanimously. Mr. SteALLar, in acknowledging the oompliment,urged the necessity for increased exertions to procure subscriptions for the school as well as for the enhancbisement fund, as also to Induce those of the trade who were not already members to become so. He was glad to see so full an at tendance of members on the present occasion, and ho hoped to see the attendance more numerous at each'court, u the more frequently meeting a large number of members was calculated to make them better acquainted with the proceedings of the society, and no doubt more and more to appreciate the charities. He had long been connected with the society—fourteen years as secretary—and he hoped to live a few years longer, in order to see the institution placed upon the beet possible basis. lie had to congratulate them upon the harmony which had that day prevailed, not one word having been uttered calculated to injure the society. The GOVERNOR then declared the court adjourned until the lint Thursday in July. ASYLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANB, WEST MINSTER-ROAD, LAMBETH. The annual general court of the guardians of this charity wax held yesterday, at the institution, Westminster road, Lambeth, lb. FOREST. Esq., in the chair. The business before the court was principally of a formal character ; the minutes of the committee for the put quarter were read and conarmed, and a recommendation of the committee that a paid canvasser should be appointed to solicit donations and subscriptions was adopted. The retiring members of the oommittee were re-appointed, and Mr. ltoupell, M.P., elected to fill a death vacancy. The Breaux/air reed acme letters from the British and Foreign School Society, expressing a wish to purchase the land and buildings now in the poseerslon of the charity. The CHAIRMAN stated it bad been suggested by some members of the committee that it would be advisable to remove the institution to a more favourahle site ; this had come to the knowledge of the British end Foreign School Society, and had led to the correspondence. The committee were, however, unwilling to take any steps until they saw a prospect of raining the necessary funds. The premises now occupied by the charity were their freehold property ; they had &pointed the he by purchase from the City of London about 34 years age, at the price of 15,0001., and an equal sum bad been expended on the buildings. Mr. Bu RN Err said that they could not get the ground re quired for their establishment except at a very great expense, unlets they went to a considerable distance, and if they removed to a distance it would be very in.xonvadent to par ties who wished to visit the institution to select apprentices. After some conversation the matter was referred hart to the committee. The CIIAIRM•N reminded the court that the Institution had now reached its centenary, having been founded in 1758. Since that time 2,600 children had been admitted. Every exertion was being made to provide for the proper celebration of the centenary, and he trusted every member of the court would aid es much as possible. The tollowiog arrangements had already been made. On Wednesday next a concert would take plea at the Surrey Music-ball, under the Management of the Lambeth Choral Society, who had offered their services to the charity. Sermons would be preached in several churches of the metropolis for the bias fit of the charity, and on Sunday, the 2nd of May, the centenary sermon would be preached in the chapel of the institution by the Bishop of Winchester. The centenary dinner would take place on the 16th April, at which the Duke of Cambridge would pi elide. It wax also proposed to have a meeting towards the end of June of orphans who had been brought op in the Institution ; they would attend meek)" in the chapel, and afterwards be entertained at dinner. The secretary had been in communication with no less than 193 of the former inmates, of whom 100 had promised to attend : he was glad to say that they all cntertainedthe most grateful feelings towards the institution, and some had sent subscrip tions. In July an exhibition and sale of the chi•dren's work under the patronage of the Queen would be held is the grounds. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the court broke up. REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.—MUch, ex citement prevails throughout the three towns which compose the parliamentary borough of Greenwich, in consequence of the anticipated resignation of his seat by Mr. Townsend. who is again before the Bankruptcy Court. Several gentlemen are spoken of as willing to place their services at the disposal of the elector', and there will in all probability be consider able difficulty in choosing between them. • Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., who represented the borough is the kat parliament, is again in the field, sod his supporters are pro mouting ea active canna§ on his behalf ; but many object to the learned gentleman on the ground t bst during the time be was the representative for the borough his professional engagements enabled him to glee only an accidental and oc casional attendanoe in the house. Some of the electors bare been is menannioation with Alderman fialoscons, who con sented to stand at the teat election, but afterwards withdrew, It la thought that the aldermen will not present Idaself emu until the Jew question is is a fair way of settlement. Mr. Serjeant Parry Le also named in some quarter.. At the last election the numbers polled for the respective candidates (all liberals) stood as follows :—Osnwel Sir William Codringtma, 2,937 ; Mr. Townsend, 2,771; Mr. Chambers, 2,044. PLAIN DIRECTIONS POB AIDING ENDANGERBD PERSONS TO ISCAPE PION BUILDINGS ON JIBE. The following information, issued by the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Pire, may be repro duced at the present time, it is thought, with advantage to the metropolitan public: The want of presence of mind at the time of an alarm of fire is by far the greatest hindrance to an escape, and for this no regulation oan be laid down ; but a few simple directions to be ob serve d b y t h e b ystanders and inmates, well con sidered and reflected upon in time of safety, will, in a groat measure, tend to discreet and auccee•ful efforts in the hour el danger. FOR RYA/ANDEL/. 1. On an alarm of fire, it alostdd be the object of all per , was to direct their efforts to save the 1011•1010, and when the fire occurs near one of the stations of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire (without waiting to ascer tain if there Is likely to be dangerN.me that imams notice is forwarded to the conductor, whale duty it is to proceed to the rhos of alarm immediately. The society always re munerates• the persons calling end assist* the escapee should the fire not be in the ne ighbourhood of any of the eocietv's escapes, ladders sad Friar should be emght for. [a for more effectually obtaining the call to fires at the very first alarm, the committee here published the following scale of rewards :—To the person giving the eel' at a the escape station, whereby the conductor is enabled to save life, fie.; if it enables the conductor to arrive before an engine, 2a. 6d. ; if after an engine, ls. 6d. ; to the second, and third persons assisting the conductor, each, ls. The permute "calling" to assist the conducter.T 2. Two well-qualified persons (constable* er others) should ascend I. the roof through the adjoining horses; it is aflaa the case that most efficient assistance can from thence be rendered the inmates by an entrance to the upper part of the house on fire, either by the attic windows, the loft door, or by removing the tiles. 3. When the fire occurs in a narrow street or court, assist awe can be given most efficiently from the windows of the • opposite house, particularly by means of a ladder placed across the street from window to window. 4. When no other means prevent themselves, the bystanders had better collect bedding at hand. In care the inmates throw themselves from the 11 indows,• blanket or carpet, held stretched out by several persons, will verve the purptete. The society's fire-escape conductors cart 7 j moping sheets with them for use upon emergency ; they are also kept at all the City police-stations and many of the metropolitan polire•stathine. 'towards are granted by the society to all well-antbent jested cases of rescuing life from tire, in whatever way effected. FOIL INMATES. 1. Every householder should make each person in hie house well acquainted with the parts thereof which afford the best means of escape, whether the fire breaks out at the top or at the bottom ; and in securing the street door and lower windows for the night care should be taken that an easy outlet for every member of the house is not thus pre vented in ease of fire. There are many excellent fire-escapee invented for keeping in dwelling-houses, descriptions and drawings of which may be seen upon application at the office of the ' Royal Seciety for the Protection of Life from Flre " 47, Ludgate-hill, where every information on the subject will be afforded. 2: Inmates at the first alarm should endeavour calmly to reflect what means of escape there are in the house; if in bed at the time, wrap themselves in a blanket or bedside carpet, and open neither windows nor doors more than necessary, and shut every door after them. (This is most important to observe.) . . _ 3. In 'the midst of smoke it is comparatively clear towards the ground, consequently progress through awoke can be made on the hands and knees. A wet silk handkerchief, or worsted stocking, or other flannel suoatance, drawn over the face, permits free breathing, and excludes, to a great extent, the smoke from the lungs. A wet sponge is alike efficacious. 4. In the event of being unable to escape either by the street door or roof, the persona in danger should immediately make their way to a front room window, taking are to close the door after them, and those who have the charge of the household should ascertain that every individu a al r % there seeembled. 6. All persons this circumstanced are earnestly entreated not to precipitate themselves from the window while there remains the least probability of assistance; and even in the last extremity MOWS" may generally be had to joining sheets or blankets together, fastening ne end round a bed post or other furniture—this will enable one person to lower all the others separately, and the last may let himself down with comparatively little risk. Select a win dow over the door way rather than over the area. REPEATED, AC OF TUE GREATEST ISIPOIITANCE. 1. Immediately on the fire beteg diseoverrd, secure an alarm being given to the nearest of the Royal Society's Fire Escape Stations, not delaying an instant ; do not wait " to see if it fe wanted." Life is more valuable than property, and events have too often proved how fatal even a moment's hesitation is in sending for the fire•agespe. 2. Do not give vent to the fire, either by breaking into the house unnecessarily from without, or, if an inmate, by opening doors or windage ; make a point of shutting every door after you as you go through the house. For this pur pose doors on the staircase are very useful. LIST OP TILE FIRE•ESCAPE STATIONS.

DANCING DENOUNCED.—A correspondent of the Scooseee writes from Stornoway, March 24 : " The free church ministers in this blind have put down dancing amongst those who submit to their authority, as being an amusement of a sinful nature, calling for church censure even to mclnaion from the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and a denial of marriage. As this amusement is practised all over Britain amongst classes not usually subject to the imputation of i or impiety I deem it important that we should cle arly understand whether the tole ration of it elsewhere proceeds from laxity of dis cipline on the part of the church, or whether the censure passed upon it here is an aesumption of autho rity unwarranted by Scripture. The effects of such a prohibition on the minds of the ignorant (aseaming that it is sot an injunction of Holy Writ) is, heat, to excite a feeling of uncharitableness and antagonism in cam portion of the . community against the other ; secondly, M obscure the judgment as to right and wrong by elevating into importance Immaterial points. As a piss for with holding the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper from puttee otherwise irreproachable it is an arrogant sod harsh piece of ecclesiastical tyranny ; and as a plea for refusing mar riage, it is altogether unsupported by scripture or by the law of the land. It is intolerable that individne!s jo. be they ruinisters or laymen, should endeavour to da • on any portion of the community by preaching to igno rent congregations that which has so authority in law, divine or human. The Wesel to marry Porkies wh o do ant pledge themselves to abstain from dancing at their weddings is • breach of the law, and indioates the ten desey of the clerical naiad Is this plea to make this ordi =LOD (an It la according to the Popish view) • sacrament of the church."
