Last night fifty prisoners recently arrested in Dublin on their arrival from Liverpool and Holyhead were released and sent back to England. At first they pre tended to know one another, but latterly abandoned this line, and implored to be released on condition of going back. All is quiet in Killarney, but last night the tele graph wires between that and Valenti& were again cut. They have been since repaired. A despatch, which a re porter of the Cork Herald was about to send to-day, alleging disaffection among the troops, was stopped by the magistrates as being woe. The reporter was arrested, and an investigation will be held into the charge. THE LORD LIEUTENANT ON THE STATE OP IRELAND. At the inaugural banquet of the Lord Mayor of Dublin on Tuesday evening, there was a very influential attendance, including the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Marchioness of Abercorn, and Cardinal Cullen. The Lord Lieutenant, responding to the toast " Pro sperity to Ireland," said:—l do not think it desirable on this or on other occasions to draw an overstrained or exagge rated picture of what the prosperity of the country may be, but neither do I consider it desirable or conducive to the commercial or national interests of Ireland, in comparison with other countries, to paint in darker colours than justice requires the temporary and transi tory clouds that may overshadow her prosperity. We have just seen the close of a year of not uneventful anticipation, and I think we have some reason not to be altogether disheartened, either with the past or with the prospect now before us. We have during the last year marked the diminution in ordinary and general crime. We have, during the same period, seen the decline and total extinction, for the present at least, of two remarkable and mysterious pestilence', the one affecting the staple of our agricultural wealth, and the other carrying deso lation and dismay into the houses of our population. We had reason to hope that the moral pestilence of Fenianism had declined with the close of the year, and I still believe that recent events are but as the galvanic spasm which convulses a corpse in the throes of dissolu tion, or as the passing clouds which are rapidly passing awar it There has been a unanimous action by all the inte • nt and influential classes, and on the part of the clergy of all denominations, there has been the most admirable exertion. Amongst them I may be allowed to allude to the recent most admirable ad dress of a distinguished prelate in the south. (Loud applause.) All this, and the returning good sense of even some of those who have been recently and even recent events have shown that in this late out break of insanity the country populations did not sym pathise with the insurgents. A ll these things point to the hope that • better prospect may be at hand. 1, for one, do not believe in disloyalty and disaffection of the great bulk of the Irish people. Ido not believe that the great body of the farmers of Ireland are sympathisers with or affected by the Fenian conspiracy. There is no doubt a large and unsettled element in the towns in many parts of the country, and an unsettled state amongst the labouring classes, amongst those depending upon agricultural em ployment. It is amongst these numerous, excitable, and ignorant portions of the population that the impossible promises and exaggerated statements of foreign agents and unscrupulous emissaries have acted for the disquiet of the well disposed, and do the moat serious damage to the commerce, trade, and local advancement of Ireland, but I believe that it will be more against the and invaders from without than against the de uded popula tion of this country that the hand of justice will be armed. (Hear, hear.) Be that as it may, the public may rest ensured that we shall not relax for one moment from the vigilance we have hitherto exercised, and we will not shrink from stern and instant repression by the irresistible means at our disposal of any attempt to disturb the peace of the country. Closely connected with the happiness and welfare of the people is a subject which of late has been prominent before the public, and has been ventilated by many writers in this country. I mean the subject of emi gration. I will venture briefly to say a few words upon it, and in what I say I wish to speak not in reference to the past, but in reference to the present and the future. lam aware that according to strict economical principles the population of Ireland is somewhat in excess. (" No, no," and " Hear, hear.") I admit thatif you were to make a new Ireland, you would probably arrange to have a somewhat smaller population—you would probably dispose of them somewhat differently. But this is not the question— you must take Ireland as it is, and you must take the population as you find it. Men and women are not chattlea or machinery—(hear, hear)—to be displaced as the exigencies or whims of the moment may suggest. (Ap plause.) You must take the population as it is, and do the best you can for it. You must find it the means of liseli hood and employmentoind advance its social and moral state. This is the problem which those who have the interests of Ireland at heartought seriously to study,andthey ought not to rely upon the deportation of a population, which,after all is not much in excess of what the rules of economic prin ciples may allow. Andlet me not be supposed to deprecate • wholesome emigration such as that which annually flows from a superabundant population. An emigration of that nature is a token not of weakness but of strength : it is a superfluity of vigour and enterprise as well as of numbers. But, when emigration becomes an exodus, it becomes • hremorrhage which drains the lifeblood, while it evidences the disease which lurks beneath. (Applause.) His excel lency then referred to the question of Irish railways, and to Dublin improvements, and afterwards responded to the toad, " The health of the Marchionisa of Abercorn." ST. MARTIN'S-RALL.—This great hall, re-deco rated sad re-lighted, will be opened on Monday next, Feb. 25, by Mr. F.

BURIED ALIVE.—A letter from Rome contains a painful account of a lady havin been buried alive in that city. At the beginning of last the wife of Count Bennicelli was attacked with symptoms of cholera, which terminated in apparent death. After the funeral oere loony the body was removed to the Cumpo Santo to re main there until a tomb, which had been ordered in the church of the Maddelena, should be ready. The place of sepulchre being now prepared, the removal of the coffin was decided on; but on the men coming to the place where it had been deposited, the cover was found to have been forced up, and the body being exposed, no doubt could exist that the unfortunate lady had been interred alive. Her hands bad been bitten an if in despair, her face deeply scratched, and her hair torn from her head. All the muscles of the body were contracted, and it must have been towards the termination of her efforts to release herself that the lid had been forced.--Oafignani. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 21, 1867. AMERICA. (MOM OUR EIPKCIAL NEW YORK, FEB. 5. The greatest of the blows which Mr. Johnson's folly has brought upon the powers of the executive has been struck by the passage of the Tenure of Office Bill, which deprives the President of the power of removal without the advice and consent of the Senate. Even members of the cabinet are subjected to its operation—a provision which will please people who are in the habit of looking on " the heads of departments here " as correspond ing to the English ministers, as it appears to bring the secretaries under some sort of responsibility to Congress ; but in reality their positions differ very widely. It was not intended by the constitution that the President should be responsible to Con gress inany way but criminally, and he has no "con_ stitutional advisers," and is not required to have any. He consults the members of the cabinet or not, just as he pleases. If he does consult them and goes wrong, nobody blames them as ministers ; 1 if he does not consult them and goes wrong, nobody blames him for going wrong out of his own head ; so that little is gained by depriving him of the power of arbitrarily removing them, beyond securing some faithful adherent of Con gress, on the rare occasion when Congress and the President differ, the enjoyment of his salary. The extension of the provisions of the bill to the 1 secretaries is said by its enemies to have been in tended for the protection of Mr. Stanton, who is believed by the public to be an enemy of the "policy," and therefore in daily danger of dismis sal. Mr. Stanton has managed in some way to dis appoint everybody by the retention of his place. When the war ended he was known to be a radical of the radicals, and when Mr. Johnson went over to the Democrats it was popularly supposed that Stanton would be one of his first victims. His resignation was daily looked for after those of the Postmaster-General and Attorney-General and others had been sent in, but he has not offered it, and held his place calmly through all the storms of last summer and fall. During the worst of the crisis he kept himself closely confined to the War-office, seldom saw anybody except on the business of his department, and avoided political discussions so cleverly that not even the Washington correspondents of the New York papers ventured to conjecture what his opi nions were on any event of the day. There was for a long while a very common belief that he would be driven to the wall, and forced either to reveal the sentiments of his soul or resign his place; but Mr. Johnson seems to have displayed an amount of forbearance towards himwhich he dis played towards nobody else, and Mr. Stanton still reigns in the War Department, and yet has ' kept his mind to himself. But if it be true that the bill was amended for his benefit, it is probable that he has communicated his real opinions to some ' of the radical members, and is willing to avow them as soon as he is safe from presidential vengeance, and that the majority are anxious, in view of pos sible contingencies, to have him remain at his post. The bill has passed by a majority so large that the veto will not affect it. It is very difficult to say what is doing or will be done about the impeachment. Nearly all the business men and merchants who go to Washington come back very confident that it will not take place ; but the radical politicians and voters who come back are just as confident that it will. The judiciary committee have so far done nothing ex cept make an informal examination of the nature of the evidence which Mr. Ashley has to offer, being determined, it is said, not to begin a formal investigation until they are satisfied that ho can make out a fair case. Thus far, Ido not think he has produced anything very startling, and this im pression is confirmed by the accounts given by the correspondents of the radical papers of what is going on—such as that he "has just lighted on im portant documents which put Mr. Johnson's con duct in a very bad light," and so on. If any thing really important had yet been brought for ward we should doubtless have heard of it by this time. It would be very unsafe to conclude from all this, however, that Mr. Ashley has I nothing to bring forward. The question of impeaching Mr. Johnson unfortunately does not turn upon the possibility of making out a case against him, but on the expediency of commencing a process so likely to distract the country and de range business. Amongst the farmers, I think the desire to have him impeached grows—it un doubtedly does at the West ; and this fact may have a determining influence on Congress. The farmers have not, of course, the same timidity about the probable effect of the impeachment on business that the commercial world has, and have all along been much more earnest in the struggle. i I still think, however, that the chances are against its going farther. The South has at last submitted a proposition by . way of compromise ; and though I do not think it likely to prove very important as it stands, it pos sesses a good deal of interest as the first indication which has come from that quarter of a desire to negotiate. It contains, as you will see, the main I features of the constitutional amendment : Reeolved, by the legislature of the State of that, the Congress of the United States be requested to propose to the legislatures of the several States the following amendment to the constitution of the United States : " Article 14, see. 1. No State under the constitution has a right of its own will to renounce its place in, or to with draw from, the Union, nor has the Federal government ' any right to eject a State from the Union, or to deprive it of its equal suffrage in the Senate, or of representation in the House of Representatives. The Union, under the con stitution, shall be perpetual. Sec. 2. The public debt of the United States, authorised by law, shall ever be held sacred and inviolate; but neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation in curred in aid of insurrectionorrebellion against thegovern ment or authority of the United States. Sec. 3. All na born or naturalised in the United States, and sub to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United fates and of the States in which they reside ; and the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States. No State shall deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law , nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Sec. 4. Representatives shall be . apportioned among the several States acoording to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, in cluding Indians not taxed. But when any State shall, en ac count of race or colour, or previous condition of servitude, denytheexemiseof theelective franchise at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-president of the United States, representatives in Congress, members of the legislature and other officers elective by the people, to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being 21 years of age, and citizen* of the United States, then the entire class of persons so excluded from the exercise of the elective franchise shall not be counted in the basis of re presentation."

(REUTER% ITISORLZIE) ILLNESS OF COUNT BISMARCK. BERLIN, Fre. 20. Count Bismarck has for some days been unwell, and is now confined to his room. The accumula tion of state affairs, with which he has recently been occupied, has occasioned a return of the nervous and rheumatic attack from which he pre viously suffered. AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR ON THE EASTERN QUESTION. BRUSSELS, FIB. 20. The Indfpendance Beige of today publishes a circular note, addressed by Baron Beust to the great Powers on the Eastern question. In this despatch Baron Boost attaches the highest im portance to the pacification of the disaffected pro vinces of Turkey. Re states that Austria has advised the Porte to carry out the evacuation of the Servian fortresses, being convinced that Eng land and France share the opinions of Austria on this subject. Austria has taken no step with regard to Oandia, believing that island to be placed by its geographical position beyond Austria's legi timate sphere of action. The Austrian govern ment has opened negotiations with France, and has broached a proposal for revising the stipula tions of 1856. Baron Bewst considers it indis pensable to obtain the co-operation of Russia by annulling the restrictions imposed on that Power by the treaty of Paris. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, FEB. 20. The semi-official ProdincialCorrespondence of this evening says : " The result of the elections for the North German parliament has surpassed the hopes of the Prussian government. In the old provinces the government has a majority of nearly two thirds of the votes. Prince Frederick Charles has accepted his election. The return of Baron Rothe child for Frankfort is a proof of the conciliatory attitude of that city. In reply to a deputation which recently waited on the King from the inha bitants of Frankfort, his Majesty promised that that city's future relations should be reconsidered, and that it should not continue to support greater burdens than could be borne without prejudice to the welfare of the citizens." HIJNGARY. PESTII, FEB. 20. A great demonstration took place yesterday evening at the National Theatre. Shouts were raised of " Long live the King 1 ." From all parts of Hungary accounts continue to be received of enthusiastic festivities held in honour of the resto ration of the Hungarian constitution. In the , province of the military frontier public opinion is in favour of the union of Croatia with Hungary. It is asserted that the Emperor will shortly ar rive here, and will receive, at Buda, the members of the Diet deputed to thank his Majesty for the restoration of the constitution. RUSSIA. ST.

The Moniteur of this evening, referring in its bulletin to the account of the situation of the Em pire recently presented to the French Chambers, says :—" Sufficiently powerful herself not to desire the weakness of any of her neighbours, and con vinced that the principle of solidarity ought every where to be substituted for the spirit of egotism and exclusiveness of past ages, France is of opi nion that the progress of one nation benefits all others, and that general interests should predomi nate over individual ones. It isby this fertile and civilising thought that the Imperial government is guided in its relations with foreign powers." PARIS, Fzs. 20, EvrxrNG.

Bouet and Willaumez, relative to the insufficiency of the credits demanded by the government for the conversion of the artillery of the fleet. THE PARIS BOIJRSE. PARIS, Fas. 20, 3.30 rm.

The Paris journals publish intelligence from Athens on the 14th inst., rid Marseilles, an nouncing that the Panhellenion, on her eleventh voyage to Crete, was pursued by a Turksh frigate and took refuge in the port of Cerigo. The frigate had threatened to sink her if she attempted to re turn to Syra. The same intelligence asserts that King George had sent the brig Salaminia to escort the Panhellenion, with orders to repel force by force. The Greek government had informed the foreign legations in Athena that these instructions had been given. AMERICA. (By ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, FEB. 20, NOON.

National Schoolroom, High-street, Peckham, to pconote the opening of museums on week-day evenings, as recom mended by a parliamentary committee which sat in 1814. Mr. Allen occupied the chair. Mr. Gaster moved the fol lowing resolution, "That owing to the great success which has attended the early clueing and Saturday half holiday movements, the great majority of the working' classes could occasionally or habitually visit the museums on week-day evenings, as proved by the large attendance in the evenings at the South Kensington Museum and the industrial exhibitions held in various parts of London, and that the petition to parliament read be adopted." Mr. Hill seconded the resolution, and said that 2,210,000 persons had visited the South Kensington Mu seam in the evenings since it had been opened three nights per week,.and at the recent industrial exhibition held at Islington more than 500,000 persons paid for admission 10 weeks, the great mass of whom were of the working class who attended in the eve ning s. The resolution was carried, and the proceedings closed in the usual manner. We have been requested to state that there is no foundation for the statement which appeared in our columns to the effect that the church of St. Mary's, Kil burn, has been closed by order of the Bishop of London.— Adrtieer.

Provided, that no person by reason of this article shall be excluded from voting who has heretofore exercised the elective franchise under the con stitution or laws of thin State, or who, at the time of the adoption of thin amendment, may be entitled to vote under said constitution and laws." The feature which distinguishes this from the terms on which the radical majority at the North are now disposed to insist is the reservation to the State of the right of regulating the suffrage. This is certain to cause its defeat ; a guarantee which is only to be found in the State constitutions is of course, as regards either the rest of the Union orthe majority in any particular State, no guarantee at all, and would, if enacted, be simply a declara tion of present good intentions. It could of course be done away with by the majority any time it chose to call a constitutional convention. lam afraid, therefore, it will lead to nothing, and may possibly cause some exasperation and be considered by the radicals simply as a proof of the unwilling ness of the South to do anything whatever. There 1 is one point in it, however, which is worthy of the attention of those Miglishmen who still flatter themselves that there is a possibility of the Conte : derate Bonds being paid. The document reveals clearly that the South is just as ready as the North to adopt:any pledge, however solemn or binding, against the payment of the Confederate debt. I The Tariff Bill has gone down from the Senate to the house with au enormous increase of duty on almost every article, and unless something unfore . seen happens, it will doubtless pass in the house just as it stands, a result at which I think free , traders, if they are wise, may rejoice, for I see no chance of the present style of legislation on this class of questions undergoing any change for the better until the experiment of protection and of constant changes has been fully tried. The pro tectionists have never before had an opportunity of working their will, and probably never would have had an opportunity if the war had not created the necessity for an enormous revenue. But there can be little question that they will not now be arrested in their progress until the country has fully tested the value of their system. I have hardly a doubt I that they will come forward next spring de- Handing still higher duties, and that there will be in the interval no perceptible change I for the better in any department of in : dnstry. There are many symptoms that the thing has been already overdone, and that the limits of popular patience and popular stupidity have already been reached. Some of the moat long-suffering of the trades, such as the ship builders, have already begun to bestir themselves, 1 , and to organise opposition to the system which has not only ruined them, but now bids fair to render their recovery impossible. A rapid thaw set in a few days ago after one of the most tremendous snow storms of the present century, and we are now receiving accounts from all parts of the country of the breaking down of bridges by the ice and the flood'', and the destruc tion of property all along the watercourses. There is a good deal of distress in the large eastern cities, and a good deal of anxiety as to the future. The unsettled state of things at the South begins, I think, to tell on the North, along with the other difficulties. Trade with that part of the country has not revived ; and not only this, but the despe rate efforts made by Northern dealers to revive it at the close of the war have resulted in their own serious injury.

SIMS REEVES AND HIS GREENOCK AUDIENCE. —On Monday night Mr. Sims Reeves appeared at a con cert in the Greenock Town Hall, which was crowded. Mr. Reeves's first piece, " Deeper and deeper still," was con cluded amidst much approbation. In the interval pre vious to singing Blumenthal's song, " The Message," a young child, borne in the arms of a woman who was seated close to the platform, annoyed the audience by crying, but no attempt was made to have it removed. When Mr. Reeves again appeared the large audience was soon hushed into silence, while the great artiste proceeded to warble the beautiful music which accompanies the words of " The Message." He bad only sang a few lines, however, in the second verse— I had a niesioge tossed her, go tender, and tree, and sweet, I longed fur an angel to bear It, And lay It down at her feet— when the child uttered a sharp 0 : 42 a disagreeable to hitch take place. Mr. Reeves his song and stated that he was unable to p while be was dis turbed by the child, and requested that it be removed. A few persons immediately began to him, while others cried aloud to the woman to remain. At this juncture, Mr. Reeves, accompanied by Mr. Berger, the pianist, re tired from the platform, and Mr. Airlie, who had cha of the arrangements, approached the woman, and ling her across the hall showed her out. During these proceed iizra.e,lart of the audience got greatly excited, and many and shouted in a manner which strongly marked their disapproval of the step which was being taken. The majority of the audience, however seemed to approve of the measure by loudly cheering. Quiet having been again restored in some measure, Mr. Reeves, accompanied by the pianist, returned to the platform, when he was met by a storm of hisses and the most discordant sounds. The better disposed part of the audience cheered and endeavoured to drown the offensive sound, but the effort was vain ; for after each lull in the storm the expressions of disapprobation burst forth afresh. After waiting for about a minute, and there being no a nee of the storm subsiding, Mr. Reeves again retired from the plat form amidst a howl of displeasure. A member of the local committee, Mr. then came upon the platform, and essayed to speak, but groans, cat-calls, laughter, and cries of " M'William's song," A solo on the bones," and other noises for a time drowned hie voice. Having got a hearing, however, he explained that it had been ex prenly agreed with Mr. Reeves, and stated ha the an nouncement regarding the concert, that children in arms would not be admitted, and as Mr. Reeves was so much "put out" by the scene he had witnessed, he would be unable at present to proceed with his song. He beseeched the audience, however, to bear with the committee, end allow the programme to be proceededwith. Miss Kirk then sang " Afton Water" with much effect, and matters for a time went on smoothly. But when Mr. Reeves again appeared, he was once more met by yells of disapproba tion more offensive than before. Cries of " Sing the' Two Babies,'" "He's in the pet," &c., were shouted, though the great bulk of the audience endeavoured to get up a cheer in favour of the singer. Mr. Reeves WU ultimately again forced to retire, when the Rev. F. L. Robertson left his seat in the boxes, and, proceeding to the platform, ap pealed to the audience to conduct themselves with pro priety. He could assure them Mr. Reeves did not retire from any " pet," but simply because of nervous suscepti bility. Mr. Robertson then retired, and upon Mr. Reeves appearing he was greeted with much enthusiasm. He then song Kuckeu's beautiful serenade, " Twilight is darken. ing," and, upon being encored, sang " The Message, " the song he was singing when the interruption took place. Another attempt was made to bring him beck, but the attempt foiled. —Glasgow Herald. MALTA,FZB. 20.—(31f TELFARAPII).—The steamer Tamar, with the 64th Regiment, has arrived from Kings town.

(rßom OUS seecua, comerommer.) When is the catalogue squabbling to °ease ? Every day I find some new development of the quarrel between Meagre. Cele ' Dentu, and John eon. One grievance is that Mr. Cole called the official catalogue of the British section the "official British " catalogue. This opened a wordy war with Messrs. Johnson, who have bought the right to translate the complete official catalogue. M. Dentu, who appears to have a strong taste for literary pugilism, speedily debouched upon the battle-field, and told Mr. Henry Cole that not only would he resist the application of the title "official British" to the English sectional cata logue, but he should withdraw his august counte nance from the South Kennington catalogue specu lation altogether. He summoned the secretary to the English commission to withdraw the name of Dentu from all circulars and advertisements issuing from South Kensington. But this remptory sum mons has, I apprehend, been with pe drawn, since I see M. Dentu's name still tacked to the British sectional catalogue in the London papers. For my own part I cannot understand why a British sec tional ca talogue should be published by the English government, seeing that the entire catalogue of the Exhibition is to be translated verbatim into the English language, under the skilful superintend ence of Mr.G. W. Yapp. In thisgeneral official cata logue will be that of the British section. There can be nothing of importance in Mr. Cole's sec tional catalogue that he will not have been com pelled to contribute to M. Dentu's complete work. Moreover, sectional catalogues have always been commercial failures. The sectional catalogues of the Crystal Palace, admirably well as they were com piled, remained untouched, save by the recording flies, upon the nave stalls. If the English autho rities fondly cherish the idea that they will make money . by their little work, there is _perhaps no harm in letting the Science and Art Department try their 'prentice hands as advertisement canvassers and publishers ; but I am afraid that the sanguine temperament of these official business men will receive a check in the shape of a repetition of the experience of 1855. The English sectional catalogue of the first Uni versal Exhibition held in Paris was a bulky volume, packed with scraps of information as incongruous as the contents of a clown's pocket. lam much mistaken if its sale exceeded 3,000, albeit there was no English translation of the official catalogue in 1855. The French tried an official sectional catalogue in 1862, and they could not get rid of more than 6,600 copies. This time there is to be, I repeat, a complete catalogue of the Exhibition, ten group catalogues, and an illustrated catalogue in English. Where, then, lies the hope that a sec tional catalogue of the British department will put money into John Bull's pocket ? Is the faint chance worth all the bad blood it has raised'? If the British government were prepared to give a sectional catalogue away, in order to spread as far and wide as possible a true knowledge of the high position Great Britain can hold in an exhibition of the industry of the world, I could understand their tough adherence to a separate guide to their section, and a few thousand pounds of the handsome national grant to the Royal Commission would not be misspent if expended in this way. But, as speculative exhibition publishers, I think her Majesty's Commiasioners wear a somewhat undig nified appearance ; and I am convinced they will lose money as well as dignity. Publicity is not their proper line ; witness their unfortunate inter ference with the posting speculation, which, it seems, is likely to end in the law courts. International boat-races have been arranged for the summer by an English and a French com mittee. They will take place in July, after the distribution of the Exhibition prizes, which is to be a most imposing and expensive solemnity, starred plentifully with sovereigns and princes. Hundreds of carpenters are already at work in the Palais de l'lndustrie, erecting an amphitheatre to hold 16,000 spectators. The coat of the furniture for the ceremony will be 20,0001. The chief news from the British section concerns the colonies. The Commissioners of Nova Scotia, Queensland, and South Australia have arrived. The contributions from British Guiana, Trinidad, Barbadoes, and Jamaica are daily expected. Mr. Randell is in Paris arranging the Victoria section. I have obtained the following list of colonial com missioners : Victoria, T. Randall and F. de Sallie ; Queens land, M. H. Marsh, M.P. (chairman), Sir Charles Nicholson, and M. A.

PHARMACEUTICAL gocrirrY OT GREAT BRITAIN. —A dinner in aid of the benevolent fund of this society was held last evening at Willis's-rooms ; Mr. Sanford, the President, in the chair. There were mealy 300 members present, many of whom bad come up from the provinces to celebrate the event. The President, in proposing the 'Pre liminary toasts, alluded, amidst general cheering, to the fact that a daughter had been added to the Prince of Wales's family on the society's anniversary day. Two guests, who said they were formerly connected with the army and nary, in responding for those services, adopted the unusual course at charity dinners of intro ducing politics. The ex-army surgeon said, we ougit to exercise a generous forbearance towards those who thought it necessary to " outstretch the limits of the law" in the performance of their duty. (Loud cheers, and cries of No.") lie repeated he should blush for his country men if the " highminded scions of the nobles in the land " were expected to follow the whin of the " pseudo religious movements of Exeter-hall and such like places." This sentiment was received by some with boisterous cheering, by others with cries of " Question," and " No, no," and by others with hisses. The ex-navy surgeon, said he quite agreed with the remarks of his predecessor respecting the " canting humbugs " of whom he had spoken. This language appeared to give great satisfaction to the majority of the company. Dr. Quinn responded to " The College of Physician., " and Mr. Ernest Hart to " The College of Sur g eons ," both gen tlemen speaking in the highest terms of position at.d acquireineuts of the pharmaceutists. The Cipainuan, in giving the toast of the evening, made an earliest and able appeal in behalf of the society's benevolent fund for the relief of distressed members, their widows and orphaus. About 7,000/. is already invested in this fund, nod the subscriptions, as well as applicants for relief, increase every year. The chairman impressed upon the members the necessity for raising the sum to 10,0 sl. Other toasts were given, and numerous subscriptions were collected before the close of the meeting, amounting to more than 1,31 M.
