BATHS OF HOMBURG, near Frankfort-on the-Maine—aummer Season 1800.—The Mineral Waters of Homburg, as evidenced by the analysis of the celebrated Pro fessor Liebig, are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperient. They are of admirable service In removing disorders of the stomach and other Intestines. They stimulate these organs when the ab dominal circulation is defective, assist the process of secretion, and give a healthful regularity to the organism of nutrition and assimilation. They are powerful remedial agents In cases of enlargement of the liver, in aiTection of the spleen, In hypochondria, jaundice, hemorrhoidal disease, and obstinate constipation. In cases of gout, and all other affec tions produced by inefficiency of the digestive functions. the most happy results have been obtained from them. The efficacy of the waters is more especia ll y recognised by those who drink them at their source ; for then, the invigorating air of the Mountains, the gaiety of the surrounding scene, and perfect abstraction from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The magnificent Kurhouse, Which, In the beauty of its architecture, the judicious distribu tion of Its apartments, and the richness of Its decorations, sur- Craevery other edifice of the kind on the banks of Rhine, contains a variety of spacious and splen didly decorated rooms; a grand saloon for halls and concerts ; • superb dining room where there is a table-dhote A la Fran =twice a day, at 1 and at 5 o'clock, furnished by the cele- Chevet of Paris, who is the lessee of the refreshment' of the whole casino.

Besides the above attractions, there are also several conversation rooms, as well as a splendid cof fee room with three billiard tables. To complete the charms of Homburg, this delightful place, a troupe of Italian actors of the highest talent, conducted by the celebrated maestro Orsini, has been engaged to perform the choicest pieces of the Italian repertory. The services of the renowned prime donne Adelina Patti, Trebelll, the sisters illarchisio, have likewise been secured fur this season. An excel lent orchestre. numbering forty distinguished muumuu, performs three times a day ; In the morning at the Wells; in the afternoon In the beautiful gardens of the Casino, and in the ev ening is the grand Ball-room. The new railway has almost brought Homburg Baths to the outskirts of Frankfurt. There are twenty trains a day, to and fro, the last as tate as 11 o'clock. As the Journey occupies only half-an-hour, the amusements of irealttan are within easy reach.

(RIOTER% Tumults.) THE PROPOSED ARMISTICE BETWEEN THE BELLIGERENTS. VIENNA, Jur 5. The Wiener Abendpost (evening edition of the official Wiener Zeitung) says :—" Previous to the battle of the 3rd instant, the Austrian government had already requested the Emperor of the French to bring about an armistice between Austria and Italy, in order to render it possible for the Austrian troops in Italy to join the army of the north. The Emperor of the French, willing to meet the wishes of the Austrian government, and de sirous to see peace once more established in Europe, even went further, and, with out either directly or indirectly being re quested so to do by the Austrian cabinet, also offered his good offices to effect an armistice be tween Austria and Prussia." This loyal offer of the French Emperor was accepted by the Austrian government. . _ _ PARIS, JULY S. The Temps of this evening publishes a rumour asserting that Prussia is not favourable to the pro posed armistice. PARIS, JULY 5, Eirmit No. The Moniteur du Soir confines itself to repro ducing the announcement made in this morning's Mtmiteur, relative to the cession of Venetia and the negotiations for an armistice. In its military bulletin the Moniteur du Soir says :—" It is known that the proposal for an armistice has been made, and hopes are entertained that negotiations for peace will be opened under the mediation of the Emperor." La France of this evening says :—"At 3 o'clock this afternoon the French government had not yet received any reply from Florence or Berlin to the proposal of an armistice." The Pattie says :—" The bases of the armistice have been under consideration to-day, and will not prejudge any of the ulterior questions. The acceptance of the armistice does not appear to be doubtful. We believe that France will imme diately call upon England and Russia to participate in her efforts for the definitive conclusion of peace." The same journal also states that the elaboration of a St CUl4BtailiM continues, and adds :—" Several points upon which the first deliberations were based have already been modified." THE LATE GREAT BATTLE IN BOHEMIA. BERLIN, JuLT 5. The official Staafsanziger of this evening says : " At the royal dinner last night the health of the King, and of his victorious army, was proposed by the Queen, and drunk with great enthusiasm. Her Majesty pays frequent visits to the central office for the relief of the wounded, and has ex pressed her satisfaction at the general participation in the subscription in their favour." The semi-official Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of to-day gives the definitive results of the elections to the Prussian Chamber of Deputies as follows : Conservatives, 143 ; old liberals, 26 ; catholic party, 16 ; Left Centre, 65 ; progress party, 74 ; Polish party, 21 ; uncertain, 4. Three deputies are still wanting. VIENNA, JULY . 4. General Benedek has addressed the following despatch to the Emperor : " Hohenmauth, July 4, 3 a.m. "After a brilliant struggle lasting over five hours, in which the whole army as well as the Saxon forces were engaged in a partly entrenched position before Konigsgratz with the centre at Lippa, the enemy succeeded in establishing themselves unobserved in Chlum. The rain pre vented the smoke of the powder from dispersing, and a distinct view of the position was therefore impossible. The enemy were thereby enabled to advance into our position near Chlum, whence they suddenly and unexpectedly poured a heavy fire into our flank and rear. The latter wavered and fell back upon the troops adjoining them, and notwithstanding every exertion, I could not suc ceed in arresting the retreat, which at first com menced slowly, but increased in haste as the enemy pressed forward, until at length the whole army had withdrawn across the Elbe to Pardubitz. The losses have not yet been estimated,. but are doubtless very considerable." VIENNA, JULY 4, EVENING. The Abendpost (evening edition of the official Wiener Zeituitg) publishes an article expressing grief at the course which events have taken, and which it declares no human foresight could have anticipated. " This sorrow," adds the Abendpost, " weighs the more heavily upon us from the fact that at the hed of the army was placed one who possessed the entire confidence of the army and people, and to whom the Eirperor, principally on account of this unanimity of public opinion, had accorded in every respect the most complete liberty of decision and action. His Majesty has not exercised the least determining in fluence upon the Commander-in-Chief, the latter's arrangements and choice of subordi nates having all received the Imperial sanc tion beforehand. This declaration will silence those who have spoken of the general in command as having been influenced to privilege certain per sonages. All preliminary arrangements have been made in the proper place to punish, according to their position, those who are especially to blame. We learn that energetic steps have already been LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1866. taken, which afford a certain hope of soon and effectually obtaining what is still attainable in a military and diplomatic direction."

Fifteen Fenian prisoners have been committed to gaol at Sweetaburg, Canada, in order to await their final trial, which will be commenced in a few days. A Fenian meeting was held on Sunday in the vicinity of Jones'-wood. It was addressed by James Stephens, who declared that Roberts and Sweeney were not in concert. On Monday night a Fenian mass meeting was held in Union-square. Roberta spoke, and in the course of his remarks said that the next time the Fenian,' moved it would be with an impetus that no power could withstand. A letter from Horace Greeley express ing sympathy with the Fenian cause was read to the meeting. Resolutions were adopted declaring that " the truckling of the Federal Executive and the Secretary of State to the designs of European monarchists merits the strongest reprobation. " The Senate has passed the bill to continue in force for two years the Freedmen's Bureaux. The bill now goes to the House of Representatives for concurrence. In reply to the late resolution of the house the President has sent to Congress a list of all Ameri can citizens reported to have arrived in Ireland since the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. The National Union Club has issued a call for a national union convention on August 14th, to aid in completing the restoration of the Union. Delegates from all States and Territories, are to attend. Mr. Seward is rumoured to have concluded a secret treaty with the Emperor Napoleon, the understanding being that the United States should observe strict neutrality and non-intervention in the affairs of Mexico. After the withdrawal of the French, Maximilian would secure his election as President, and would afterwards declare himself Emperor thus avoiding the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Schrockmarton (conservative) has been elected Governor of Texas, receiving nine-tenths of the votes.

The immediate object of the reunion was to bring under the notice of trades unions the advantages of working. men's clubs, and the company consisted principally of re presentatives of the various metropolitan trade associa tions. After a alight repast and a bnef musical entertain ment, Mr. THINS. icktlHEB, M.P., assumed the chair, sup ported by Lord Brougham, Lord Lyttelton, Mr. Layard, M.l'., and Mr. Henry Solly, the organizing director of the institute. • Mr. Homan gave an explanation of the wishes of the .councl They invited those of their guests who were members of trades unions to discuss a subject which they had very much at heart, viz., was it their interest and the interest of trades unions generally to make use of working men's clubs ? He had some knowledge of trades unions, and he thought it would be for the advantage of their members, and the interest of the community at large, if a part of their funds could be rendered available fur furthering the movement in which the council were engaged. Mr. firsioN, engineer, the secretary of the Southwark Working Men's Club, although • non-society man, under took the task of pointing out the many benefits which trades unions would denve from co-operating with the council, and in doing so he ventured to go into what he considered to be the erroneous views entertained by some of those bodies with regard to labour and capital. Lord BROUGHAM spoke • few words in support of the ob ject of the meeting. He was far from being opposed to trades unions, and one advantage of their uniting with the wawa in soiabliahing working men's clubs would be this—it would go far to remove the delusion that they wished to set up labour against capital, or to compel every working man to join in their strikes. Mr. Symon'a observations led to • warm discus sion, which occupied some time, and throughout which the object and principles of trades unions were stoutly defended. Mr. Lewd, M.P. one of the council, and Mr. Sully, the active director, de precated the introduction of this controversial topic, as the council had no desire whatever to in terfere with trades unions. They simply desired to promote the social intercourse of working men with those above them, and amongst themselves; and with that view it was proposed to found a central hall, that should be open to all members of working-men's clubs, , not only in London, but throughout the country. Here I they could meet together from time to time for mutual interchange of thought, and here also meetings or arbi trations between masters and men could take place when ever advisable. _ _ Lord Lyttelton joined in the debate; and after much explanation there appeared to be a general feeling in favour of the views advanced by the council. PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE BRITISH MER CHANT SERVlCE.—Yesterday a meeting of the Liver pool Local Marine Board was held for the purpose of presenting to Cap tain J. Kennedy, of the Inman Company's steamer City of Boston a testimonial from President John son in acknowledgment for services rendered to an Ame rican ship by Captain Kennedy. The following letter is explanatory of the presentation:—" Legation of the United States, London, May 14, 17366.

It appears from reports received by my government that on her voyage she encountered a succession of storms, which by the 24th of December had had the effect of leaving her a floating wreck at the mercy of the wind and waves. On the Ist of January she was descried by the steamer City of Boston, which at once came to the relief of the distressed people on board ; but such was the state of the ocean that no assistance could be rendered except by the agency of the lifeboat belonging to the steamer. In this emergency Captain Kennedy, with the aid of a picked crew, who cheerfully exposed themselves to this perilous experiment, succeeded in saving the lives of all the persons on board, and transferring them in safety to his own vessel. The conduct of Captain Kennedy, through the energy . and promptness displayed in the direction of this enterprise, is described by the rescued persons as eminently conducive to its success. Whilst, therefore, my government has taken the neces sary steps, through other channels, to recognise the value of the service of the boat's crew, I have been directed especially to mark the sense entertained by the President of the action of Captain Kennedy, by asking of your lord ship to cause to be transmitted to him the accompanying gold watch, together with an assurance of his high appre ciation of his noble, friendly, and humane conduct upon this critical occasion.—Reniaming, &c., CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS."

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN. — It appears that seventeen masters of the University College School were present at the fatal railway accident which took place on the branch line from Hitchm to Cam bridge on Monday last, an account of which appeared in yesterday's Express. One of them writing as to the cause of the accident says :—" It was very evident, on ex amining the line, that it was moat imperfectly laid ; the intervals between adjoining rails were in some places very great, and probably sufficient, when accompanied by a slight difference in elevation, to jerk a carriage off the line. It was clear that the second-chm carriage next to the engine had been the first to leave the rails; the flange of its near front wheel was broken, and at the very point where it left the line first a chip was struck off the end of a rail oa the near side, which had therefore in all probability projected beyond the next. The engine had gone off on the left about ten yards further on, and, after tearing up • considerable length of the rail on that side, bad cut its way through the adjoining hedge, and finally come to • standstill in the corn. Some navvies who appeared soon after stated that they were in a field at the time, and not on the line ; so that but little independent testimony seems to be forthcoming.* [STAMPED, ld. ADDMONAL.] THE MARRIAGE THE PRINCESS HELENA. Unlike St. George's Chapel, the Gothic architec ture, richly ornamented walls, and magnificent stained glass windows of which imparted so much grandeur to the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the private chapel, in which the ceremony of yesterday took place, situated almost in the centre of the Queen's apartments, has but few claims to architectural beauty, and is of but very limited dimensions. Of the accom modation which it affords the most had been made. The seats or benches which usually occupy the centre of the chapel had been removed, and gal lleries had been erected for the rception of in vited guests. A rich Wilton carpet was spread over the aisle leading up to the altar, and on either aide of this were ranged several rows of gilt and cushioned chairs for the accommodation of those who took part in the ceremonial, or were more immediately connected with the Court. The' , temporary_ galleries were hung with crimson cloth, and in the front was displayed a monogram com posed of the initials of their royal highnesses, flanked by circular wreaths, all composed of fresh and very beautiful cut flowers. Upon the altar there was no plate except a pair of alms dishes, a pair of cups, a pair of flagons, and a pair of candlesticks, all of gold. The chapel is lighted almost entirely from a lantern in the roof, and as the light fell softly upon the rich colour@ of the furniture, the bright hues of the flowers and the polished surface of the gold plate, the affect, although neither very I grand, nor exceedingly striking, was far from being either mean or unimpressive. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel gians, the Princess of W ales, the Duke of Edin burgh, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Louise, and other members of the royal family, were conducted by the Lord Chamberlain and Vice- Chamberlain to their seats, while the members of their several suites and others who formed part of the procession took the places allotted to them. The Queen of the Belgians, whose seat ;tam placed immediately on the left of the altar, wore a dress of very delicate lilac silk. The King was in uniform. The Princess of Wales wore blue silk, and the Princess Louise white tulle over white silk, with a pointed tunic of blue satin, trimmed with point lace, and blue and frosted silver ornaments. Her royal highness's coiffure ' consisted of a wreath of blush roses and silver, with a tulle veil. The little Princess Beatrice wore a short blue satin frock, trimmed with point lace, and blue and frosted silver ornaments, and had her fair hair combed straight down over her shoulders. The Duke of Edinburgh was in naval uniform, and the Princes Arthur and Leopold in the High land dress. The Duke of Cambridge was to have been a member of the royal procession, but unfor tunately his royal highness was prevented by an attack of gout from being present at the ceremony. As soon as they had arranged the illustrious per sons composing the procession in their several j allotted situations, the Lord Chamberlain and Vice- Chamberlain left the chapel, and speedily returned, conducting the "procession of the bridegroom," which had been formed in the Red Room, the band meanwhile playing Mendelasohn's Marc h from A Mahe. The bridegroom and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar both wore the uniform of general officers in the British army, and both wore the riband of the Bath. As soon as his royal highness reached the altar ho knelt down and prayed for a short time. When he rose from his knees he took his place on the left-hand of the altar, and stood awaiting the arrival of the bride. it was nearly ten minutes before her royal highness entered the chapel, and during this time Prince Christian was necessarily exposed to the scrutiny of all the spec tators. At first he bore their glances firmly and boldly, but as the tune went on he exhibited a little natural nervousness and timidity. Soon, however, were heard the strains of the band play ing Handel's March from Scipio, and the bride's procession which had been formed in the Queen's private apartments, entered the chapel. As the procession advanced towards the altar the Prince of Wales was on the right of the bride, and the Queen upon her left. Her royal highness, who wore a rich white satin dress covered with Honiton point lace, a wreath of orange blossom and myrtle, and a splendid veil of Honiton lace, looked a little paler than usual, but her glance was tran quil and assured, and she exhibited no other signs of emotion. Her bridesmaids were dressed in white glac4, under a long tunic of silver tulle looped up on one side with a chatelaine of pink roses, forget-me-nuts, and white heather. Their wreaths were composed of pink roses, forget me-note, and heather, and they each wore a long tulle veil. Her Majesty, who appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, wore a dress of moire antique, embroidered with silver, with a long crepe veil falling from under a crown of diamonds, with necklace and diamond ornaments. The sombre ness of her Majesty's costume was still further re lieved by the presence of bows of white satin ribbon upon the sleeves and some other parts of her dress, and by the blue riband of the Carter, which she wore across her chest. The Prince of Wales was in the uniform of a colonel of Hussars, and wore the collar of the Garter. When the bride reached the upper end of the chapel she knelt for a few moments before the ! altar rails, and upon rising took her place beside the bridegroom in front of the altar. Her Majesty was handed by the Lord Chamberlain to the seat nearest the altar on the right-hand side, and the p Prince of \Vales took his place immediately behind her. At this time the little chapel was quite filled, and the scene which it presented was exceedingly ' gay and pretty. Before the altar was the fair young bride standing by the aide of the gallant Prince to whom she was about to pledge her troth. Starting from this point there streamed down the centre of the chapel what looked like a pathway of light, formed by the white dresses of the bridesmaids, while on all sides the bright robes of the ladies mixed with the rich uniforms of the noblemen and gentlemen of the court, and pro duced a never ending, and apparently almost infinite variety of contrasts and harmonies of colour. Above and below there was the same pro fusion of embroidery upon the uniforms of the gentlemen, the same agreeable confusion in the tints and hues of the silks and satins which determined the prevailing colour of the dresses of the ladies. The delicate mauves and lavenders and pinks of the latter mingled with the sterner scarlet and blue and green of the gentle men's uniforms, and both appeared to gain by the mixture. Plumes waved and veils floated from graceful heads and over fair shoulders, and the tempered rays of the summer sunshine fell upon bright gems and costly ornaments, which borrowed half their beauty from the charms which they were supposed to enhance. Long, however, before the eve had had time to mark all the features of this almost fairy scene the mind was recalled to more solemn thoughts by the voice of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had commenced to read the mar riage service. At this time the positions occupied by the mem bers of the royal family and the most illustrious visitors were as follows :—On the right of the altar, the Queen and the Prince of Wales, the Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Leiningen, and the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh ; on the left, Prince Edward of Saxe- Wennar, the King and Queen of the Belgians, Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, Princess Beatrice, Prince Arthur, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess of Leiningen. The whole of the service was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and never probably have the various prayers, admonitions, and exhor tations of whi c h it consis t s b een rea d more dis tinctly or more impressively than they were by his grace. The responses of both the bride and bride mom were made in a firm and audible voice. The bridegroom spoke with a decidedly foreign accent, and in the long declaration which accom panies the plighting of the troth appeared to have some little difficulty in completely following the archbishop, and in enunciating all the words which he was called upon to pronounce ; but there was no doubt about the " I will " with which he answered the question whether he would have the Princessto be his wedded wife. The assent of the bride was almost equally decidedly proncemced ; and if in the longer passage which precedes the troth-plight her voice sometimes wavered, it never ceased to be audible, and, though low and gentle, was generally clear and diatinct. During the service the choir of St. George's Chapel under the direction of Dr. Elvey (organist of St. George's Chapel), and the choir of the private chapel, under the direction of Mr. W. G. Cusins, (organist of the, private chapel), chanted the psalm, " God be merciful unto us ;" and imme diately before the blessing they sang the chorale, "How welcome was the call," to music specially composed by Mr. Cusins. After the blessing was pronounced, her royal highness rose from her knees and immediately em braced her mother. She also kissed the Prince of Wales, to whose congratulations she replied with a gentle smile and a few half-whispered words. She then took the arm of her husband, and the united procession of the bride and bridegroom left the chapel. . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AG the procession left the chapel the band played a march by Spohr, and a salute was fired in the Long Walk. All the royal personages who had been present at the ceremony proceeded to the White Drawing room, where they were joined by the dignitaries of the church, and where the marriage was attested in due form. Afterwards the members of the royal family retired to the ball-room, where they took lunch in private. Luncheon was served for the visitors at a buffet in the Waterloo Gallery. Their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena and Prince Christian left the Castle soon after four o'clock in an open carriage, and drove to the rail way station en route for Osborne, where they intend to spend a week or ten days before visiting the Continent. Large crowds had assembled both at the Castle gates and at the railway station to wit ness their departure, and their royal highnesses were loudly and enthusiastically cheered, the gen tlemen waving their hats and the ladies their hand kerchiefs and parasols most zealously. THE ARRIVAL AT SOUTHAMPTON. (TROY OUR CORRHISPORDINT.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. As moon as the royal couple alighted from the train this afternoon the Mayor and Corporation advanced, and the Town Clerk, Mr. Deacon, read the corporation address. Prince Christian in reply thanked the corporation for their kind wishes, and the Princess bowed her acknowledgments. They then passed under the triumphal arch, and stepped on board the mil yacht amidst the firing of guns, ringing of bells, and tumultuous cheering from the multitude, the Prince and Princess bowing their acknowledgments. As the yacht steamed slowly out of the docks boats followed laden with people cheering, and as they passed each monster steamer a forest of white handkerchiefs were set waving. The music of Mendelasohn's "Wedding March" from the various bands in the docks floated over the water, and must have been heard 11 the nuptial pair far down the itinen river. All the monster mail packets were gaily dressed out in flags. The weather cleared up during the embarkation, and everything went off merrily. The royal party would reach Osborne soon after seven. Hoe Majesty will meet the royal couple on Saturday. WINDSOR.—TFIVIADAY NMHT. —This evening the town was brilliantly , illuminated, and the corporation dined together at the town hall, in honour of the royal marriage. [TWOPENCE POOR-LAW MEDICAL REPOILV. A meeting of Poor-law medical officers was held yesterday at the Freemasons'-taveni to present a testi monial to Mr. IL. Griffin, surgeon, of Weymouth, for his long and ardent services in the cause of Pour-law medical reform. Mr. It. GRIFFIN was loudly cheered on rising to acknow ledge the presents. After expressing his thanks, he mid, in reference to the striking facts that had recently come out in the Poor-law inquiries in London, that they were only • sample of what was going on all over the country. Re afterwards moved the adoption of the following petition to the Poor-law Board :—" At a public meeting of poor-law medical officers, held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, London, on July 5, 1866, it was resulted—That a petition be also pre sented to 'the Poor-law Begird, expressive of the strong feeling of this meeting in favour of immediate steps being taken by the Poor-law Board to improve the present in adequate system of medical relief to the poor. That this meeting would not be doing its duty to the public were it not to give expression to the extreme sorrow it feels at the painful revelations lately brought to light by the sanitary commission of the Lanett, and the Association for the Im provement of London Workhouse Infirmaries, of cruel treatment and neglect of the sick poor in some of the London workhouses, which revelations have been confirmed by the official inquiries of the Poor-law Board. That this meeting cannot but feel that these 'painful cases of neglect and ill-treatment could never have existed had proper medical inspection, by medical men, been carried out by the Poor-law Board. That this meeting begs to urge upon the Poor-law Board the desirableness of the appointment of a medical secretary, and at least three medical inspectors, whose sole duty it shall be to superin tend the carrying out of the arrangements for the medical relief of the poor, who annually average over one million and a quarter in number, and have nearly :1,200 medical men to attend them. That this meeting, however, is de cidedly of opinion that no arrangements for the ameliora tion of the condition of the sick poor can possibly be suc cessful, unk-as proper provision be made, not only for • becoming recognition of the status of the Poor-law medical officers, but abo for such a due augmentation of their present inadequate payments as the arduous duties of their office imperatively demand." The adoption of this petition was seconded by Mr. Prowse, and carried unanimously. The remaining business was a vote of thanks to the chairman. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS. The annual election of fellows into the Council of the College took place yesterday, and though not of quite so exciting a cha racter as last year, them was still sutticientinterest evinced by the fellows to show the importance they attached to the election. The hour for commencing the proceedings was 2 o'clock, but long before that time a great number of provincial and metropolitan fellows attended to inspect the museum and the large and highly interesting additions made by donation and purchase during the past year, showing how indefatigable have been the labours of Mr. Flower, the conservator, and his zealous assistant, Dr. Bell l'ettigrew. Punctual to the time appointed Mr. Wormald, the president, accompanied by Messrs. Partridge and Hilton, the vice-presidents of the college, entered the noble library of the institution, when the former gentleman pointed out that the mode of con ducting the election was by ballot, and that the candidates were Messrs. Luke and Hilton, who retired in the order prescribed by the charter of the college, but offered themselves for re-election. These gentlemen were opposed by Messrs. Charles Hawkins, one of the govern ment inspectors under the Anatomy Act, and Mr. Erasmus Wilson, another candidate. Mr. Spencer Smith, of St. Mary's Hospital, had retired from the contest to as not to jeopardise the return of Mr. Hawkins, the pledged candi date for collegiate reform. The voting having terminated, the president declared the choice of the fellows to have fallen on Messrs. John Hilton, one of the vice-presidents, and Mr. Charles Hawkins, of Savile-row. The numbers polled by each candidate were—for Mr. Hilton, IG2, including 17 plumper.; Mr. Hawkins, 113, with :30 plumper,; Mr. Luke, 136, with 6 plumper.; and Mr. Wil son, 35, including 8 plumper'. In the evening upwards of 100 fellows dined together at the Albion Tavern, Mr. Wormald, president of the college, in the chair. The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. G. Perren, of the Lincoln's-Inn choir, afforded a great treat to the provincial fellows.
