Many cases of distress have already been reported. °FENIX° OF THE ROCKE OF RELIEF EY THE ENO.r Or Giasucearen.—The House of Relief, a new in stitution for the treatment and cure of children of Nob erre* suffering from climaxes of the ints. was opened yesterday at 12 o'clock by the Right R ev, the Bishop of tdoiteester. Commodious and suitable premises have ken secured for this truly benevolent work at No. 19, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, and many influential names or, to be found among its patrons. Mr. Spencer Walpole i. the honorary secretary, and the entire management is undertaken voluntarily by ladies, assisted by eminent media') men. The inauguration was auspicious. The object, relief for a imffering elms for whom hitherto little 11.,5 been done, is a humane one, and promises to supply a miring link in the chain of Christian care for the helpless and neglected. Among the friends present yesterday were th e het. John Black (rector of St. George the Martyr), Rte. W. A. Newton, Rev. Deere Craven, Mrs. Ellicott, Spencer Walpole Mrs. Spencer Perceval, Lady Middleton, D r . Hillier, ' Miss Perceval, Dr. Cholmely, Dr. Gee, Mr. T. Holmes, and others, numbering between gio and GU.. The service conducted by the bishop was inte re.diN appropriate. It was held in the large room, to he hereafter appropriated to the purposes of a girls' ward : six of the ten beds it is proposed to place in the w.inl being already tenanted by children, the first occu pant., all between the ages of four and eight years. To e,ch cot WAS attached various mechanical contrivances needed to facilitate the cure of the patient. The appear ance of the ward was striking, the bright green of the " painted iron cots, with thei r s p o tl ess counterpanes, white as the driven snow," combining harmoniously with giy red jackets worn by the children, half reclining, aid w' itching the p rocee di ngs w ith muc h interest, which w . judiciously curtailed in consideration for the little mule. The company separated before one o'clock. SEVEREHNoI.% sTORII. —A severe snowstorm visited mile parts of Westmoreland at the end of last week. The 11 " , w man to fall on Thursday morning, and continued with little intermission till noon on Saturday. The roads in the neighbourhood of Kirkby Stephen and Appleby , re block e d u p w i t h snow, which in many placeilay so de..i • as to be on a level with the hedges. rpon Stainmore snow hail drifted to a great depth on the Barnard. c and South Durham Railway. At some part* of the brie the drifts reached as high as the telegraph wires. The traui, of the milw.iy was completely stopped, and although men hart been constantly employed in clearing t!.. line , it was expected on Sunday night that days must t , lee before the hue could be cleared. Mr. FORATEII said that he had been *eked to perform a very difficult task—to tell the intention of the present House of Commons with regard to reform, and the inten tions of the ministry. (Laughter.) He would be a very clever man that could du either. (Laughter.) Lest October he ventured to make this prophecy, that he defied Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli in dealingwith the reform question this amnion not to do the work of the Radical Reformers. Had not that prophecy been fulfilled (Yes.) It was ful filled far more faithfully than he expected at the time, though he had pretty full confidence that it would turn out a safe prophecy. Even the Saturday Retina had said that we were only • week off household suffrage. (Laughter.) He was not sure that the Saturday Renew was right. A week was • long time, and the present government might change their opinions wary times within a week. (Laughter.) But certainly, as Mr. Bright remarked, they had en instructive evening a few days ago. The tones cheered Mr. Lowe and Mr. Horsanan last see. non till they had scarcely throats to cheer ; but the other night, even the Standard, which was a very informing paper—(laughter)—thanked Mr. Bright for coming to the rescue of Mr. Disraeli against the reproaches of Messrs. Lowe and Horsman. There were two reasons for this change—one not discreditable to the tories, and the other not so creditable. The creditable reason was that they now felt the responsibilities of power, and had fcauld that it was utterly vain to continue that obstructive policy which they attempted to advocate last session. And there were few who had not read with admiration the remarks of that honest old tory, General Peel, when he made his apology before the house and the country, and he said he had been convinced that a reform bill was necessary. The other reason was that having undertaken to deal with this ques tion they had not made up their minds what to do upon it. Hence the reform party had gained, because an earnest and determined party in the House of Commons was sure to get ita way,and the other party. if notepally united, was forced to platy its game. The history of the last three weeks was by far the most instructive he had ever seen transacted. It appears that, though the heads of the tory ministry saw that refonn was neemsary, they put off the subject as long as possible. Although Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli had agreed last November that there must be a reform bill, yet, if Lord Cranborne was to be believed, and he believed him fully, it was only three or four weeks ago that they had matured any plan. Their first step was to fish for a plan from the House of Commons. When Mr. Disraeli came forward to move his resolutions, he did not venture to allude to the only one that was of any importance—what General Peel called the fatal fifth resolution. Nor did he allude to that containing plurality of votes. There CHRISTIAN BLIND RELIEF Socrerr.—The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the annual meeting of the sub scribers and friends of this society, held last evening at the Beaumont Institute, Mile-end-road. The report, which was read by Mr. Wood, the secretary, stated that eight additional pensioners had been placed upon the funds of the charity during the year, and that the number of blind persons now receiving its relief amounted to 42, of whom 38 were receiving ss. a month, and four 2a. W. a week. There had been an increase in the balance in the hands of the treasurer, but the committee regretted their inability to meet the many eases worthy of aid which came under their notice, and to give more than the monthly pittance at present received by each pensioner. The blind persons relieved by the society were those who could not find employment by their own individual exertions, and as this class of the afflicted were numerous in the metropolis, increased assistance was ne cessaiy, for the purpose of extending the usefulness of the ' charity. Speeches in furtherance of the interests of the charity having been delivered by clergymen and others, his lon' hip expressed the pleasure he had felt in presiding on the occasion, and his gratification at having had an opportunity of aiding by his presence the excellent institu tion which they were met to support. In this great me tropolis, where poverty wee unfortunately allowed, in many instances, to creep in the dark, a charity like the Blind Relief Society, which alleviates distress of the most aggravated character—the distress of those who were entirely dependent on the goodness and sympathy of others—was entitled to the support of the charitable pub lic. The proceeding' concluded with a vote of thanks to the noble chairman. The blind choir rendered a number of vocal selections during the evening. DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSION.—WEYMOUTH, Itl.uten 12.—This morning an explosion occurred at Mr. Sketchley's steam sawmill., whereby one man named Thomas Coah, lost his life instantaneously. Several other workmen were also very seziously injured, and were immediately removed to their homes. Drs. Tixard and Brown attended the wounded workmen, and several per sons injured by the explosion in the locality. One house was completely blown down, the occu p an t s h av i ng •narrow escape of their lives. An inquiry will be instituted as to the cause of the sad catastrophe, which has produced much commotion in the town. The workshops were entirely de stroyed. A few night* since a drunken man was found lying across the rails os the Dorchester line near one of the railway gates in the New Forest. The gatekeeper, a very well-conducted man, called Gains, about fifti n Lears of age, attempted, with another man , t o ge t th e fellow off the line. The man fought and struggled vio lently, saying that he wanted to go by the train, and the gatekeeper had his collar-bone broken, and received an in ternal injury from which be will never recover. Just as all three men struggled off the line a train passed. FOREIGN-OFFICE MARCH s.—The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint George J. licakineyer, Esq., t.) be her Majesty's consul at Guatemala—Gazette. ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL —The annual dinner of this excellent charity wax held last evening at the Lon don Tavern, the Right Hon. 0. J. Goec.hen in the chair. The committee presented their 109th annual report, show ing that the funds had not suffered from the severe monetary depression of the past year. During the pro oeedinp about 350 boys and girls were paraded in the room. They appeared to bean the enjoyment of the utmost health and spirits, and the manner in which they went through the hand and arm exercises, now so fashionable in these schools, and sung a oonpleoi glees, testified moat eloquently to the wholesomeness of their training. The institution is at Haverstock-hill, and from its origin to the present time it has year by year enlarged its boundaries, and in creased its favour with the public. Last year, during the exceptional sickness occasioned by the cholera a special election took place, and 20 adilitional children were admitted. During last year 52 children were added and 48 left. The right hon. chairman, in proposing pro sperity to the school, traced the rise of the institution from its possession of 20 members at the start to the in crease of 403, which are now upon the books ; and men tioning that the annual expenditure was little short of 10,010., he made an earnest appeal for funds. He men tioned also that there were now GO five-guinea subscribers who were once inmates of the school. Before the close of the evening, 6701. was stated to be the total subscription of the evening. The customary musical treat was given, the vocalists being Messrs. Young, Montem Smith, F. Walker, Conway Cox, Chaplin Henry, and W. Jobson. The chairman's health, and that of Mr. J. Soul, the veteran and indefatigable secretary, were heartily drunk. THE IRISH RESIDENT GENTRY.—WO mentioned a day or two ago that at some points within the disturbed districts of the country, where the resident gentry had spiritedly put themselves at the head of their tenants and dependents, and shown a disposition to protect their own lives and property,and that of their poorerneighboursfrom the wandering hordes of scattered insurgents, their tenant'' , had rallied round them, and the consequence was an imme diate feeling of confidence, such as it is not in the power of the government to produce by almost any measure within their reach. Since those remarks were made we have had additional reason to mark their force and soundness. We are glad to announce that a number of Irish proprietors who were casually absent from their homes, and that even sonic of the class of habitual absentees, are returning to share the difficulties and dangers, if there should be any, of their people. The duties the country gentry have to perform, even though there should be no actual out break in a district, are very important in the present crisis, and the occasion properly taken advantage of may tend to bring about an improvement in the relations of landlord and tenant, by showing how little agitators can benefit the small farmers in the time of • peril, and bow spiritedly, on the other hand, the landlords can perform their duty when every feeling of honour and patnotism impels them to share the troubles of their tenantry. —Dublin Evening Mail. THE VETENDERA OP SEBASTOPOL.—The follow ing is taken from the hiralide Rune:—" On February V, the seventh dinner of the officers who took part in the defence of Sebastopol was held at the Hotel Demouth, at St. Petersburg. The same day the Grand Duke Michel, Commander of the army of the Caucasus, gave a dinner at Tiflis to the officers who had shared in the same defence, and who are at present with the troops under the Grand Duke ; finally, at Sebastopol itself, all those who were present at that memorable event ftted the anniversary. At St. Petersburg the number was GO, the Grand Duke Nicholas presiding. After the dinner, he gave the first toast to the health of the Emperor. General Totleben proposed the imperial family and the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michel, who, in taking part in the defence, had closely connected their names with that of SebastopoL At this moment the Grand Duke Nicholas telegraphed to his brother in the Caucasus the congratulations of all present. His Imperial Highness next proposed 'the defenders of Sebastopol;' and Gene• ral Totleben gave the memory of the heroes who fell at the siege.' After the dinner the following telegram was received from Tiflis, despatched by the Grand Duke Michel : ' The defenders of Sebastopol, who are serving in the Caucasus, dining at my house in commemoration of that immortal defence, drink to the health of all those who took part in it, and send you all a friendly salute, Twenty defenders of Sebastopol.—Micsm..' At the una nimous wish of the guests, a telegraphic replz was at once despatched thanking hie Imperial MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Ou o'Oton. In the Stock Exchange to-day the dealers are partly engaged with preparations for the fortnightly settlement on Friday in shares and foreign stocks, butthe quotations for English government securities still show an upward tendency, owing to additional purchases, both speculative and bond fide. The latter, however, preponderate, and will probably continue to do so while the existing distrustof almost every other security lasts. Consols are unaltered, while the New Three per Cents. and Three per Cents. Reduced exhibit a fresh rise of per cent., being quoted 89 ex div. Other securities are mostly without variation, but the tone of the market for English railways is unfavourable, in consequence of a fear that the efforts of two or three large companies to obtain financial assistance may not prove successful. The applications for discount are still upon a very moderate scale, and the rates for good bills are the same as yesterday. On the Stock Ea change the supply of money has diminished, owing to withdrawals by the Council of India, but short ' loans are obtainable at 2 to 2} per cent. Consols are now quoted 911 to I for money, and 91g t. 1 for the 10th of April. The government broker has bought to-day 34,0001. New Three per Cents. on account of the sinking fund, at 801, ex div.

The organised movement for higher wages which is taking place amongst the engine-drivers and fire men seems likely to trench upon the dividends of several of the great companies.

Baring Brothers and o. have written as follows: London, March 8, 1867. Gentlemen,—We beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday in reference to the dividends on Mexican Consolidated Bonds. Our agent in Mexico states in his last advices that he was informed that the French authorities, who have assumed the administration of the custom-house at Vera Cruz, have remitted to the Mexican Financial Committee in Paris the funds set apart for the London bondholders, and also that instructions have been given to the Mexican Minister in London in reference to the funds remitted last year on account of the July divi dends. We have written to the Financial Commission and to the Mexican minister for information on these matters, and defer answering your letter until we receive their reply.—We are, gentlemen, your most obedient servants, BARING BROTHERS and Co.

Atkinson'e, of Wall Dub, in the parish of Rurtbolme, Lanercost. To his surprise be found that the animal was suffering from cattle plague. Having had much experience with the disease when the plague prevailed in Cumberland last year, Mr. Coats at once detected the dreaded symptoms, and satisfied himself that the case was one of rinderpest, and he forthwith ordered the cow to be destroyed. The owner only keeps one cow. He bought the condemned beast of a dealer at Carlisle in February.
