The second day of the great oeutenary has parsed away, and, certainly, without any diminution at the aide which bad attended the first. One drawback only could be complained din yesterday's enjoyment, and that was the ab seam of the Queen, who, It bad been expected, would presider over the magnificent Te Dome composed in Deaner of her &rat eatoster'e greatest victory. The royal box had ban carefully decorated—the royal chair had been planed es the dais, sad as banana and fashionable cudcadence had oolleeted, mocha whose inducement for coming mat be set doers to, the expectation of meeting their sovereign. Many were the looks that were turned towerde the secant royal box during the morning, and when Mr. Coma commuted without giving the National Anthem, an on the preview day, it we at once concluded that the postposszasat wee occasioned by en tatizaatios that the royal party would arrive later In the day. Thaw, epaulettes arose an to what Lad prevented her Majesty's coming, and It was currently reported that the swims Mom of a dietingulehed member of the royal family ersa the cause. But whatever might bare been the muse that kept the royal box vacant during the day,:empty it remained, and the audience had ally to console tamale's with the bops that Friday would be the fortunate day, and that on that occasion Mr Majesty would be accompanied by UN Prima Consort and the King of the Belgians.

But there is still mother part of the spectacle which he must not, which we date be sworn he will not forget, sad that la the eigLt of the great British people at luncheon. When the disappearance of Mr. Costa yesterday from his lint s boa sanouncel that the half hour for refection had arrived, the] .gay parterres of ladies bonnets which W slowed over the area end galleries all the messes, Ilse sown gigantic pelargonium show, the troop' elteollseue hem, the heavy *toque of elderly connoisseurs, an mild swap before your epee like a dissolving vlew; rs- W4i the some orderly meow in which they had en- MA but the tmulllkeet Britannic vigour the mo nist they eppeeeelei tae veins refreshment tables.

The lodise were everywhere the AM cared for, and the hate of prestMlgintios which were performed by gallant youths in balsnalas wine kW, with the necessary goons, in one had, whin they held aloft • pyramid of sandwiches in the other, es they made their way through the crowd to the fair object& of their care, afforded proof of a substantial gallantry which we. worth an the bowies and limping in the world. Neither the audience nor the chorus tingles &relit d themselves of the second interval to leave their mate, but when all was over, and when " Bee the conquering Hero' had km tellyeajoyed, the whole vest assemblage becks up, sad spread themselves over the beautiful geodetic ; and here occurred pukes* the most novel and interesting episode la the whole of the day's proceedings. The gentlemen choris ters, sunrise fatigued with their hard day's work, ext. wporked Toed easociatione in various places, and, to the immense de light of the public, mug a succession of glees and choruses to the open air.

The performaes wee as e :cellist es it wee on Monday, but we doubt whether It made so deep an impreesion on the audience. If we may be entitled to judge from our own Uslings of those of others, we should my that it did not by any means. This neat; indeed, was to a certain extent wrens/try; for the Hernah is the conformation of sublimity, by the side of which every other work, even of the author himself, must appear comparatively feeble. It lea Christiaa epic, se great in its own breach of art as the "Paradise Lost'' in poetry. Handal's note* are the Moss, of inapirelits se truly es the verde of Milton.

The entertainment' (if we say apply anti a word to anything so tenon end noble) of Monday was one mighty whole—one .Mims eoneeption carried to the highest pitch of which the bans powers are capable : that of yesterday, with one eseeptioe, wee a collection of fragments —we were almost going to my • feast of 'craps ; every one of them beautiful heilself, but deprived of much of Ps power, end even of its bonny, by being tern from its place in the great work of which It teens a part.

As a ausleal minim date great Christisa hymn of praise and thanksgiving, it stands alone among the numberless works of its clew. Handel Lea pnt forth all his gigantic strength in the composition of its esegnificent choruses, which for breadth, simplicity, contrapuntal resources, and variety of expression, hoe not been surpassed even by the author him self. It bears evident marks of Its intentioa—that of being performed on high and solemn festivals; end its tons is no , ..rely that of triumph, but of military triumph, which indicated by the martial strain which rum through It, and the we, from beginning to end, of the most warlike of in aremeate, the troaper, for which, even at that remote day, Render woes pampa which ten rather severely the execu tive chill Owns mown Hooper. The whole piece is Moral, with the exception of two solos for a bake voice, which were nag by Signor Belletti is a style which did honour to his attainments (greater than thee. of any Italian we have ever heard) as • sound Mendeliao ringer. The Dettbsgen To Dams was followed by a selection from Brisheseer, one of Handers weakest onstorics, and ma, cm 'egoista', which Lee probably never been performed as • whole Om Handel's own day, and very seldom even then. The selection consisted of as accompanied recitative, " Re prise, my countrymen," sad the chorus, " Sing, 0 ye Leavens," which the recitative serves to introduce. This re. Motive is a very long and heavy piece of musical declaim dam The words occupy a page of the libretto, sod are so deli se anything you will find in a clueleol French tragedy ; the asemeity, imposed on the singer by the vastness of the piaos, of enunciating every syllable slowly end loudly, aggra vated the Winsome of this ponderous monologue. Wise tolled manfully through it, and made the meet of an ungrateful task. The chorus is good, but not of such stoking excellence se to entitle it to be chosen on such an occasion. Still more were we disappointed with the selection from Sacl. This oratorio was written when Handel was In the plenitude of his powers, and it is full of great and char ractaristic beauties. The subject, moreover, ie deeply pathetic; sad, a biblical lyric tragedy, we ere disposed to give the palm to Saul among all the compeer's mod dame. The Mention from this beautiful work was limited le me Mersa "Envy, eldest-born ofHell," very excellent in its dramatic situation, but, when isolated, quite ineffective. Theo the fensons " Dead March" was played; end, with all deference to Mr. Cola, • great deal too:slow. This funereal strain is the prelude or introduction to the most beautiful passer la the whole oratorio, " 0 fatal day : " the lamenta tion of David sad the Israelites for the fall of Saul and Jonathon; but, strange to tall, this most exquisite effusion of leadsmen' and sorrow was left out, the selection stopping at the moot when it was to have been expected. Then came a selection from Seviamt, which wee good, but might very easily have been better. It comprised the chorus, " Fixed in His everlasting seat; ,in which the Israelites and Philiedame assert, Is opposition to each other, the power end saprentoo of their respective deities--• magnificent specimen of choral coastruction ; the pathetic air, Return, 0 God of Haste," beautifully rang by Mks Dolby; the sir, "Let the bright seraphim," and the tine chortle, "Let their celestial concerts all unite." Of than fear piens, one wee certainly unworthy to be chosen. "Let the bright seraphim" wee called by Cheep 111. "a noisy, valgar sag;" and so it Is. It was written ad capialiduas rut's., and to exhibit the flexible throat of • prima donna, and the embouchure of Handel's favourite trumpeter, Valentine Snow. It was su perbly sung by Clara Novelle and played by Mr. Harper ; but what was it, after ally How infinitely better would it have been had Sims Reeves sung " Total eclipse ! no sun, so moon l"—that lamentation for the loss of sight which Bendel wrote under the impression that this calamity was toning upon himself, and to which he himself used, In after days, to tato while tear. were streaming from his "lOUs= eyes. The °missies of this most remarkable sir, In • mho ace from Handel, when a singer was at hand to do It justice, to us unaccountable. The last selection was from Jltdaa Macesbeta, and certainly included some of the greatest beauties of that oratorio. The cho- rus, " 0 Father, wham almighty power ," the magnificent watery, "Sound an alarm" (one of Roeves's happiest efforts); the sir "Front mighty kings," sung by Madame Clara Novella; and the Woo= song of triumph, "See the Conquering Hero comes," were all ss judiciously chores se they wens superbly performed. On the whole, our opinion certainly is, that one great work of Handel—Saul, or Samson, or Judas Maeralress—would hire been better than this collection of fragments; and we think that, in a whole day'e performance, the "greatanglishtenor" might havehal . . . . more allotted to him than • single ; and likseinse that oar groat English 'omen° might have dose man than sing • aimile air, and that a had one. Bat, with all these short comings, or what we regard u each, the prrforreencs wee • groat one, and not unworthy of this pot Festival. 1a.171110 OF CONVOCATION. Is the Lower House, after our report left yesterday, The Veserable Archdale= Haut preeated • gravamen to the effect that parliament roped= to alter the law of church rasa without consulting the clergy in convocation assembled. Such en alteration would affect the posiUon of the whoa Church. The present state of the question wee =operate to the Church. He thought that every force should be brought to bear on the House of Commons against it, sad he was ashamed to see members of tho Church in the Hones of Commons, on platforms, and elsewhere joining in this question with the opponents of the Church, who openly declared that the abolition of church-rates was the first step to the annihilation of the Church itself. Nobody complained of the hadship of church-retie—oven their opponents found no fault with the rates upon their merits, but tare wee a so ciety in Loudon whose members west about as - bales areonget the poor people in order to indium them to outvote their richer neighbours. (Hoer, hew.) For himself be thought her, was so question which might be more racily settled, if a few men of ability would sit round a council.table with the whole of the feet, before them. Sir H ettiar THUMPFON suggested that a clause should he interted in the addreis to the throte protesting scainst the threatened alteration in the law of church rates. Archdeacon SANDFOItD meconded Archdeacon Hale's motion. Chancellor Mstatte thought the matter should be ap proached with great judgment, and reminded the house that the subject had not b*n hat eight of. He was on a com mittee of the Lower House some time ago which considered the question hilly, and presented a very elaborate report upon it. Archdeacon DENTION wea in favour of leaving things se they were in reference to church ratan and recommended convocation to opp,ro any alteration in the law both by a de claration or its views and by a paragraph &the addreaa to the throne. After considerable discussion, Archdeacon BALE exprered himself willing to withdraw his gravamen, In order that It might be preented to the bowie in an !motored form, at the SUN time urging that wreathing should be put upon the re cords of the house on this most important sutdect. He thought that by poling I . oragraph in the address they would be going upon dangerous ground. The house ultimately permitted Archdeacon Hale to with draw his motion, and he subsequently moved the whole of the gravamina be referred to a committee to prepare a report to the Upper House of Convocation. It was ultimately resolved to address the whole house upon the subject, and the address was agreed to. A very long discusion took place on the subject of the new Divorce Act, and ultimately as"articular deli" was pored in the following form That the act to amend the law relating to divorce and testamentary clauses in Borland, paved in the year 1867, ham materially changed the law of marriage, and is folt to press hardly upon the clergy, end therefore ought to be amended. That this house, fully recog nising the supreme Importance of the imperial parliament to legislate for eliminate of men within the realm, is of op•nioa that when charts In the law are proposed which would slit to,, articles or canons of the church, or the duties required of the clergy, it i, desirable that the advice of the clergy In convccatlen !Stool,' be sought before the enactment of rich changes. The hour therefore prays their lordship' of the Upper House to %Lae their best eadeavou rs in puha • went to procure the amendment of the rid set?' The adders to the Queen from the Upper House was brought down for approval, brat hobs now fire o'clock, its consideration was def er red aril this day. The Worthen adjourned.

It is indeed • toast that ought not to be submitted to y ou without remarks which would embrace and include the results of careful thought and preparation, because they me no ordinary topics that are suggested by an occasion like the saidwarry of this very peculiar histitatioa. But I need kindly tall you thanks circumstances la which I stand in the peewit aressit are not favourable to those tranquil marladons which would amble me to discharge my duty on Ira a point I. a becoming meaner, but I hops unerr ing so to diseharp it as to show that I am not insensible to the honour you have dons ma in requesting me to preside at your &river/my. .Aooession to a laborious office in the government of this country is invariably followed by • = = :f distraction and conforon which is only the primeval name of chaos. (A laugh.) The semeras and Millions of a oontested election pressing at the WM time equally merit a similar dawription, and it is my peculiar felicity to unite in my own pen= both these runes of distraction. Under these circumstances I perhaps should have consulted your intoner if I requested our friend the secretary to dispense with my rendre* in considera tion of the poverty of my lIICRUCON and had sought the obscurity for which alone lam really qualified. But it is not in the English character to run away, and I could not prevail upon myself to forego a. occasion on which, if I could not submit to you anything worthy of your notice, at least I might become so far useful as to attain the main purpose I had in view when I consented to oocupy this orb, and that was to have the opportunity of bearing —as a mm of the world unworthy to be associated with the honours of literature —an emphatic testimony to the me-eaduent and surpassing value of this institution. I desire to pay homage to the Literary Fund, as that which meets the neonaity of men of letters. I desire likewise, es one who is Involved in the most active sphere of the active world, to pay homsge in your presence to Wan themselves, and to that great and powerful Iramsnleing Agency to which we owe so much of what sweets:mud sethellidies life, and of what adores and dignifies it. (Hear, hr.) And now, as respects this institution, you have beard from sere tongues, and from minds mom richly furnished, what it has done on former earlier. Those who have preceded me in this chair have exhausted again and again almost all that can be said in commending this institution to your warm sup port. You are yourselves thoroughly conversant with its character, and the few words that I shall add will not, I am sure, do more than testify to the interest which I feel In its prosperity and progress. Of coarse it is not for me to re fer to arguments and controverdei that have prevailed, and such as from time to time must necessarily peeved in a country of free discuseion, with respect to the details of the management of an institution like this. But I rejoice to see that even those arguments and controversies, though they may have retarded the progress, have not sufficed to reverse it, or I rosy venture to say not sensibly to retard it. This institution, like other things great and good was been. sad maintained in adversity; but it has steaffily advanced, and to Its edema, It has been favoured by the combined efforts of these who were possessed of the most abundant means and the highest station, es well se of those who have trilled their geed will from dada Torreon. It is an hunts- den which I believe I am justified la saying has athenmd from year to year--almost foam day to day. It says* he air to cover the whole Bald that is open to its bansedent saterprise, bat it is able to cover • large portion, sad a entiasally-htereadair portion, of that field ; and meet ings nor as they le wriewsr criticism they may he open, will, I bops, et inn her re effect of warming our hearts towards or another, and la the objects allies Literary Fond, and inciting r to the mignon of what le undoubtedly a work of true hussaity, of tress philosophy, and of, I the truest wisdom flitting as you do to the prelstee diev at lent one highly -distinguished foreigner, you will permit on to say that I dwell with great malefaction upon what I may nil the world-embracing character of this institution. There is something in the character of letters which, although it don not refuse the impress of nationality, affords one of the beet, the moat intercatiog, the most effecting, and the most innocent channels for the conveyance of national feel ing, yet declines to admit nationality as a fetter and a bond. (Cheers.) It le • brotherhood which includes the citizens of the republic of letters—and that brotherhood Is as firm as our common fish and blood—and it is a distinc tion as sound in principle as it is remarkable and sound in moire, that the Literary Fund extends to the citizens of letters in foreign countries that relief which our fellow countrymen claim at our hands in virtue of the double cha racter of literary merit and Innocent want and necessity. ((lost, hear) By this institution ws acknowledge in some degree the debt that we owe to reign countriee—the debt that we owe to Italy, the mother of the modern literature of Etwer—thesr, hear)—the debt that we owe to the lucid milsof Franco—dm debt that we owe to the pedaled and laborious students of Germany. You cannot by pecuniary grants to neosertous men morn yourselves of that debt, for every that addresses itself to the mind of men ir li rt 6 he very nature of things incapable of being paid off in money. Bat, although you can toot discharge that debt you can acknowledge it, and the acknowledgment or such debts to all the tribute that jos tios either requires or can receive. With respect to the operettas' at this fund, I lock upon it from without, but I rejoin to think how well it is adaptel to the rimer of oar tras— hes, peoultar are the rata of the clue you have attempted to realer, and how well adjusted is your mschinery to men the exigencies of the MO. Cast your eyes where you will ever the world, and everywhere you are mat by the evidence of that law of inequality in the state of man which provokes sea into murmuring and (rottener, and which affords to others a school of Christian discipline and of pious resignation. But that law of inequality, ordained as It has been by Providence for tin purpose of training mankind for the ultimate state of ita per fection, Ia nevertheless • law, which it Is the briars of redly and love to countered and to limit in its working. I mast couple with the professors of literature those who belong to the sister calling of the fine arte—for there Is little that can be said of the one in regard to the essential on &true of their pursuit which is not applicable to the other. At any rate this is applicable to both—that the followers of these elevated purer.% became they follow them, ant ts proportion as they follow them with that enthusiastic devo tion which alone is the parent and source of things ray great, become in many cans less capable then they would otherwise be of bringing down their minds to the orrery cares of life, so that it may constantly happen that one be longing to this brotbechood will toms innocently Into die tress when an ordinary man not engaged in those peculiar pursuits would not be likely to become dependant upon the benevolence of others. But together with that defect rendering them less treble of the ordzary details of human affairs, there is, as we have all sees, a peculiar susceptibility of organzation which raiders the mind more sensible to the power of pain and one upon him, and that pain and taro when once they have assumed influence over him fall direct upon what, to use the language of political economy, we must ell hie productive power, so that the whole combrallon of those circumstanced together with the liabilities attiring to his profession, and writ attach to it in proportion as his probe ' don is devotedly followed, at once constitutes a prculter,oses of necessity end • peculiar right to your anai.tance. (Hear, hear.) There is yet another view in which It appears to me that the institution of a fund like this is of the tumor impor t ms. The law of demand and supply works admirably well with regard to material commodities, but it does not work with the same perfection in reference to the productions of the mind. Those works of the human mind which are destined toendure are not always thoeowhtch at the first mo ment attract popular approbation. There are portions of the domain et literature In which the efficient labourer is sure of an immediate and adequate retina. But there are other por tion', of the same field amt lee* importaat, in which, irrespective of any blame to him, end irreopective of any blame to the public, it is la certain whether he will obtain his return, above all it is totally uncertain whether be will obtain the return at the prec!se time when the cornea necessities of our nature most require it. It would be vain to gore from literary history terraces of works which have obtained to world wide fame In after years, but which hive never been the means of blessing their authors with prosperity, or even with comfort. I know not how far it may be tl e case in the present day, but undoubtedly in the last gran tion there were distinguished and splendid instances in the walk of poets (where, as a general rule, you might look fur a fairer apportionment of immediate lame); there were splendid brawn of meat who with a single-minded devotion, following the purpose of their own hearts, but not able to most the calls of the market, produced that which an inner' induct told them was worthy to live, end would live, but which would not, at ell evens foretime, and the mess of life to those who had produced it. (Crete.) With respect to literature, like nausio—if it be rosily music—we most have a due propaVon I. its several parts.

If you are to feed the river from to generation you must have • mutant province L e tTrVOIST works. I apprehend that It is • 'pedal pur pose of this fund to meet the cases of necessity which arias among those persona whose vocation it bee been to apply themselves less to the description of work that ie called for by the immediate taste of the public, and to apply themselves in a greater degree to the more solid, though perhaps to the Ira attractive, productions. To takes familiar illustration—l have before me the last account of the distribution of the fonds of this institution. I see a clamitication of authors relieved according to the different deediptiose that are given of them. The two largest loins awarded in any class during the year 1858, are 35W. and 3165 respectively; and both thaw sums are given to authon of works of a description which are not always immediately poplin., that Is, to science and art. That le one of the purposes which le served by the establish ment °french a fund. And if there be a danger with respect to the solid parts of literature at all Um= I fear there is no doubt that that drape iv aggravated by the circumstances of the present day. We live in times when there is a wonderful multiplication of the different brandies a knowle, sad in that there is the greatest contrast between the °raffled= of the educated MR of the peen= day sad the educated men of former tram. If we go back foe a few oz . = or even for a few generations, the well man of those dila was a man fa pommel= of all the knowledge of his time. Toe know per fectly well that that has now become entirely hope less.

(Hier, hear.) The solicitations of the world and of active life are constantly growing upon us. There are certain mum in operation, with continually incressiog power, that tend to draw us in a direction adverse to that concentration of thought which is requisite for all sound productions in the mimed literature. Is the simple but emphatic words a Wordsworth— " The world is too much with us, late and soon; betting and spending g wets oar powere. Little we see in nature that is oars, We've given our hearts away—a sordid boon." Now whatever tends, as this institution teeth, to maintain the vital warmth of the heart involves a principle of sound ness, and constitutes a witness en behalf of the devoted stu dent and the laborious thinker as contorted with the mere followers of those pursuits which happen to be oonnectedwith an immediate popularity. (Hoer, haul Now lam happy to think that as this institution professes to extend your bounty to other countriee so it In itself a charac ter that I. peculiarly English. tis a remarkable trait of Beelleh character and life, that so much is done in this country by maenad free sad voluntary associations ; and in addition to its other merits, and while it possesses • character which asexiates ',with other countries, it may be also said of the Literary Feed that it is eminently national. (Hear, hear.) It la among us perhaps more than any other country that the peculiar dangers of the age prevail. It is here that material development rune its most rapid race. It is the im mense spirit of enterprise—it is the unbounded development of trade and commerce—it is the practical, energy of the Eng lishman, which, while it secures to him and to his country a great predominance in the affairs of mankind, continually tends to lead him away from those more tranquil pursuits which you reek to relieve or to reward. (Hear.) Bat let me say on behalf of my country are word, at least. with reluctance,. because I owe the remark to a distinguis hed foreigner. He IS the only historian, I may say, of our uni versities—the only person who has entered deeply into the remarkable records of their growth, big, and experience, through the many long ages that they have dispersed rich streams of knowledge and civilisation over the land—l mean M. Huber. He is comparing the study sad acquirements of England with those of his own country, Cimmaay. Ho takes up the cudgels, to use a familiar phrase, for us, against ourselves. He says, "You Englishmen depredate yourselves became the catalogue of your authors is mon acenty than owe. There cannot he a greater mistake. Its Germany almost every educated man is an author ; It Reese& you have a large class of educated men, and a very corddereW. elms of men who may fairly be termed men of letters, who either have never put pen to paper, or at any rats have never put ppiaper to press." That is true, and I think it is a just and laudahb distinction which England may claim that in all the walks and professions of life—whether you take her statesmen, her divines, her physicians, her lawyers— or what class you will—you will and always a large number of men who are enjoying the benefits of true literary cutters ;who are keeping up the standard of thought and language ; who are diffusing around them the influenza of a pure taste ; who aro reaping the advantages of the mental discipline that follows from true and solid train ingcanaille% a literary dame far mere extended train than th e mare dam of authors. Ti.. see I mike of this is, that if it be so, then this is a wintry in which such an insti tution as the Literary Fund ought to be well, handsomely, and liberally supported. (Hear, hear.) Hers you have an abounded accumulation of Wealth ; here you have large means of education imperfectly used—imperfectly developed, but still I trust in course of Lelowatds more effective use and more complete • • t. Then you have those old foundations which t hew m of former timea set apart with a view to the prosecution of teaming, still subsisting and still doing good where they are effective—Lill capable of improvement where they are lesseffective than they should be. Here you have the old traditions of educaeott, sad the civilisation with which it is °corrected. I rejoice to titlark it fa In this country that for the first time the happy idea has been cateeived of founding an insti tution for the purpose of administering to the pa radise needs sad claims of areh.rre, and I feel • profound conviction that in this country there is no insur mountable difficulty In finding the fonds of that biotite tion with ao liberal • hand that they shall become thoroughly adequate to meet the great purposes which we have in view. It requires but little to commend to your hearts or to your minds the cause of this institution—perhaps without words you would have received the toast with as touch warmth as you will receive it now. The words that I have used are no MOM than • feeble trollop:ay to the greatness and the eleva tion of the objects and porpows contemplated by the Witte lies ; and I close by commending once more to your good wisher the active and zealous support of the Royal Literary Fund.

SURREY DISPENSARY. Yesterday evening the annual festival of the dorm Dispensary was held at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, William Roupell, Erq., M.P., in the chair, supported by A. S. Figem, lip , Charles Florence Young, Esq., John Vickers, Req., C.B. Mee, Esq., Stanley Vickers, Esq., 2. Payne, Eq.. C. F. Friend, Reel , of the East India Hones; R. Archer, Esq., 8. Jones. Req , 0. Morris, Esq., Edward Rathbun. Esq., and about 100 gentlemen connected with the 'county of Surrey and the borough of Southwark. It should be stated that the Surrey Dispensary, which I. denoted in Oreit Dover-atreet, near St. George's church, Southwark, was instituted in the year 1777; and Its object is to afford gratuitous medical and surgical relief and medicine, as well as attendance on lying-in women to any neoessitens persons on their application at the dispensary, and to provideettendance at their homes when necessary to such of the patients as reeks within the visiting district. It was pointed out by the chairman and other gentlemen who addressed the company twerabled how needful such a charity was In a district into which the iroprovementsof the West-end and thaCity of Lon don had driven large numbers of the poor. and which is many of its low lying parts was peculiarly unhealthy. It was stated that two phyeicians and one surgeon attend daily at the dispensary, and they vi.it the home patents under their °meat their respective plane of abode as often as necessary. From the statement of Dr. Atha, one of the physicians of the hmtitution, it appeared that the number of patients admitted during the year 1858 wag 4,861 ;cured, 3,801 ; relieved, 185; discharged at request, 115 ; dead, 162 ; remaining under ewe, 698. Of the above number the physicians and surgeons attended at the pa tients' habitations, 850 ; of which 319 were midwifery owes. Patients admitted from March 2, 1778, to Jesuitry 1, 1868, 307,098. Cured, 272,165; relieved, 18,400; discharged at request, gone into the country, hospitals, &e., 7,608; dead, 8,437; remaining under cure, 598; total, 307,098. Of the above number the physicians and surgeon.; attended at the patients' habitations 82,746, of which 42,294 were midwifery cases. The average cost to the obarity of each patient cured is about 4s. 6d., so that for them= of three farthing's dayasse ennui subscription may, in the course of a year, provide the means of restoring to health no less than five or six poor persons. The Influence and the benefits of the insti tution are, however, considerably . narrowed by its want of means, and it was earnestly urged on this occasion that the claims of the charity called loudly for assistance, and • hope was generally eaperesed that the dispensary will be enabled, not only to retain the position it has already acquired as one of the best charities in the country, but will give more extended and greater • elief than it bag hitherto dose, and be the means of conferring the blessing of health on thousands without being compelled to clue its doors against any of the necesailous and deserving poor who apply to it for usistance. All this appeared to be Nit and aeknowWW by the gentlemen present, and the result war a very lial subswipties to the funds of tits institution. INNER AND MIDDLE TEMPLE RIFLE CORPS Yesterday a meeting of the benehere and members of the Inner sad Middle Temple wee held in the Middle Temple Hall for the purpose of deciding on the propriety of forming a Volunteer Rifle Corps composed of the members of the two lane. _ _ . w l[ r. _ ILLIAN IgLrreLET, Q.C., treutuvr to the Inner Temple, took the chair, and suggested that as a meeting would be held on the following (this) day, at Lincoln's tan Hall, presided over by the Lord Chancellor, and comprising the four Inns of Court, the present meeting should not take any steps till the result of that meeting should be known, and that they should content themeelves with passing reso lutions to the effect that it was desirable an efficient rifle corps should be formed by them, and that the sister inns should co•opersto with each other in carrjing out that object. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Ltneett proposed —" Thst it is expedient that a vo lunteer rifle corps should be formed for the Inner and Middle Temple." Mr. Oars seconded the motion. A young BAILIIISTEIt moved an amendment to the effect that the rifle mem should include the four Inns, but ulti mately withdrew it on the chairman representing that they could sot bind the other inn', and therefore they bad better wait over to-morrow. _ _ . . _• _.
