NATIONAL INSTITUTION AND Hosz TOR LADIES. —Yesterday the annual meeting of the friends and pro moters of this institution took place at Willis's Rooms, King's-street, St. James's, Mr. J. B. Talbot in the chair. After a few preliminary observations from the chairman, the secretary read a report, which stated that the institu tion was established in March, 1864, for the purpose of providing a respectable and comfortable home, at very low charges, for gentlewomen, who, baring received a good education, have been cast upon their own resources by bereavement or loss of property. It also undertook to render all possible assistance to them in obtaining situa tions, and to guard them against danger and imposition ; and there was, moreover, in connection with it, a relief fund, out of which many applicants had received tempo rary assistance. Applications have been made at the insti tution by upwards of 300 ladies in search for situations, and between 80 and 90 had entered the Home, which they had left on obtaining suitable situations. Others are con stantly applying, and many of them fail to obtain relief for want of funds and sufficient room. During the past year eleven cases of extreme need have been relieved, at a cost of 13/. 12s. 6d., and the committee only regret that the means at their disposal were not such as to enable them to increase the benefits they confer. Applications are constantly being made by indi viduals and by institutions requiring ladies in various capacities, as housekeepers, companions, secretaries, ma trons, Re., and the best endeavours are made to meet their wishes, but such cases are few in comparison with those of persons seeking engagements. Every lady and gentleman who has become acquainted with the home has given it the most unqualified approbation, and it has received the patronage of many persons of the highest distinction ; but still the need is great and the contributors are few. The managers are working gratuitously, and they are oppressed by remaining liabilities which they are moat anxious to remove. They therefore look forward to the day when the patrons and subscribers to this work shall be multiplied, all debts liquidated, and a large number share in the benefits of the institution. This report was adopted, and a resolution was passed to the effect that the meeting con sidered the design and objects of this institution to be most needful and useful, and as such to be worthy of public patronage and sujiport. GOVERNOR STORKS AND THE BAPTIST MISSION ARIES.—On Wednesday evening a meeting was held in the school-room of Heath-street Baptist Chapel, Hampstead, the Bev. W. Brock, jun., (presiding, to hear !addresam from Dr. Underhill and others on the subject of missionary work among the heathen. In speaking of Jamaica, Dr. Underhill said that the Baptist Missionary Society had re ceived a message, through a missionary , from Governor Storks, wishing them to establish a mission at Mount Bay. Governor Storks promised to exert his personal efforts on their behalf, and, if they required it, he would endeavour to obtain pecuniary assistance for them from the Treasury. But that, of course, the Baptists could not, on principle, swept. He (Dr. Underhill) thought that after that nothing more amid be said against the conduct of the Baptist missionaries in Jamaica, but that it would be seen that they had acted with perfect integrity. JUDOS HasaszAvi.—The Freeman's Journal states that this lammed judge is propearing very favour ably, and that his medical attents have since Saturday eontinued to entertain 'Moog hopes of his perfect repo. very.

It is considered extremely doubtful whether Prince Carl von Hohenzollern will accept the Hos poolarship of Roumania. PARIS, APRIL 18. The Constifutionaci of this evening contains the following remarks upon the subject of the Danu bian Principalities :—" The accession of a foreign prince to the throne of the Principalities would be an arrangement more consonant than any other with the aspirations of the country, but the objections and hostility to such an arrangement would ap pear, to some extent, to necessitate its abandon ment. The combinations which seem likely to re concile the different party tendencies, and to sa tisfy all legitimate interests, would be to make choice of a Hospodar to whom the government of Moldo-Wallachia might be entrusted for a specified term. Should the prince who may be chosen prove worthy of his mission, he might obtain a prolonga tion of his authority, which the Porte and the other signitary Powers of the Treaty of Paris would not hesitate to confirm." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL IS. A syndicate, empowered to watch over the appro- priation of the funds destined for the payment of the interest and sinking fund of the general debt and of the foreign loans, has been instituted, and I is composed of three Ottoman and six European bankers. This institution will in no way affect the foreign loans. Care is to be taken to maintain I unimpaired the stipulations of the contracts for each of these loans, and the revenues specially as signed to each of them will be remitted to the Im perial Ottoman Bank to enable it to meet its half ' yearly dividends. The inquiry into the budget is being actively pursued. The will of the government is stated to be that this inquiry should be carried on with the greatest sincerity, and be based on the most certain data. The result, whatever it may be, is to be published. DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 18. The Dagbla4l to-day alleges that the government has received communications which will necessitate the partial abandonment of its passive attitude in the German dispute, and cause it to adopt resolu tions of au important character. The Dagblud adds that Denmark may possibly obtain compensation for the violence to which she has been subjected. INDIA. (Via Alexandria.) BOMBAY, MARCH 28. The Indian budget was brought in and passe on the 24th inst. No fresh taxes are imposed. The duty on salt petre is reduced to 3 per cent. ad valorem.

Tai Russian party has been so menacing at Jamey alma the fall of Prince Couza, and the attitude of M. DE BUDBERCI in the Paris Conference has been so hostile towards the prolonged union of the Princi palities, that ten days ago everyone in Moldo-Wal lachia was in expectation of some act of violence. Opinion, indeed, as well as events, bothwithin and without the Principalities, were both so decided against the views of the Russians, that there was nothing left for their partisans but an appeal to force, The Consuls informed the Provisional Go vernment that " the Union having proceeded from " the autonomy of the country, that question would "be abandoned to it." Russia had also urged the Conference to ordain that the Provisional Govern ment should resign its powers to two Caimacans— one of each province. The Conference declined, admitting that the Provisional Government had displayed moderation and prudence. When, however, the Assembly was dissolved, and the country at large consulted by a universal vote wisstber it would accept Prince CHARLES of BOREN ZOLLERN-SIGHARINGEN as the future Hoapodar, the rage _ of the foreign anti-Unionist party broke all bounds. The chief of that party is M. C. Mot:- soma, of the known Filtinicrr family, several mem bers of which have been Hospodars. One of them, being Dragoman of the Porte in 1812, betrayed the Turkish cause to Russia, and was decapitated in consequence. Mousoun thus has Russian antece dents, and is, indeed, a Russian subject. The Director of the Russian Poet-office at Jassy was one of his accomplices ; the Russian General, Locum), another. A very young and wealthy Moldavian Boyard, M. Rossoviwo, was their chief support. He has lately returned from Russia, and without the least claim, or chance of success, pretended to the Hoepodarate. But the most important and dangerous accomplice of the con spiracy was the Archbishop of Jassy, IdicLzszo. These partisans of the Russian cause got together about 200 men, all foreigners, Little Russians (Lipovans), Armenians, or Greeks. The efforts and the money employed to get up the enteute attracted attention as early as the 10th ; but it was not till the 15th, when the result of the election was foreseen, that the troop of insurgents came before the Hotel of the Prefecture, and began to utter cries for the separation and independence of Moldavia. The fiat despatches say positively that the conspirators sought to make use of the Archbishop. But, if we are correctly informed, the prelate was one of them, and was as active as any. The conspirators, no doubt, imagined that the se paratist feeling was strong in Moldavia, that the people and the soldiers would join them. On the contrary, the people gave their votes for the union candidates, and the soldiers put down the distur bances. The rioters, indeed, fled before the police, and, barricading themselves in the palace, ROBNO vexo exchanged shots with the military who came to besiege it. Two were killed on either side ; proving the determination of the troops and of the people. The conspirators fled. Some succeeded in escap ing ; others remain, the somas of considerable embarrassment ; for, no matter what crime has been committed by a Russian protigf, , the Russian Consul claims to have him delivered up. It is a misfortune that lives have been lost, and several wounded in this tumult ; but the manifest results are favourable to the popular and national cause, and a full manifestation of the wishes and steadi ness of both army and population. THE REPRERENTATION OP CAMBRIDGE. —There are now two candidates in the field for the vacant seat — Colonel Torrens, late candidate on the liberal aide, who has again offered himself, in, of course, the same into. rest ; and, as previously stated, Mr. John Eldon Gorst, on the conservative side. The addresses of both candidates were issued yesterday. The election has been fixed by the mayor, the nomination for Monday, and polling, if chal lenged, for Tuesday next. Canvassing is now actively proceeding on both sides, the chief attention being, of course, paid to attempts to secure the suffrages of new voters. REPRESENTATION OF HELETON.— Major Grylla, who contested this borough at the last general election, will, it is said, become a candidate, in the room of Mr. A. W. Young, who has been unseated. Ma. LAIRD, M.P., AND THE REFORM BILL. A meeting of inhabitants of Birkenhead (admittance only by ticket) having recently agreed to a petition in favour of the government Reform Bill, that petition was sent to Mr. Laird, M.l'. for the borough, with the request that he would present it to the House of Commons and support its prayer. Mr. Laird has consented to present the peti tion, but declined to support its prayer, _stating as his rea son for the refusal that he is satisfied so important a measure as reforming the constitution of this country should be dealt with as a whole and not piecemeal. A large and important meeting of leading Quakers in London and the suburbs has been held under the presidency of Mr. Samuel Fox, of Tottenham, to con sider what the Society of Friends can do for the amelio ration of the condition of the poor. The speakers were, it is said, all of opinion that the Quakers were behind their fellow Christiana of other religious bodies in endeavours to benefit their poorer fellow-countrymen. It was especially maintained that the ladies of the society ought to do more than they do, and one or two speakers urged upon them to follow the example of active benevolence which is set by their sisters of the Roman and English churches.

Considerable misapprehension has arisen as to the objects and scope of the Commission recently appointed to consider the propriety of amalgamat ing our public offices. It has been widely assumed that the duties of the different departments were to be fused • and that the well-known views of Sir Charles Trevelyan on Civil Service reform, the long Treasury training of Mr. Stephenson, the Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, and the practical business knowledge of Mr. Goechen, had caused these gentlemen to be selected as eminently qualified to make the fusion economic and compre hensive. This is a mistake. The proposed amal gamation is one of buildings, not men, and the more widely this is known the better. The pro ceeedings before Mr. Horsfall'm committee on the customs and inland revenue—which sat for twelve months, and published two bulky blue books without agreeing upon • report— and the carefully considered measure for improving the mode of tax-collection which Mr. Gladstone submitted to parliament, were, after all, but indi cations of the strong desire for consolidating dif ferent branches of the public service, which is shared by politicians on both sides of the house. It is not surprising, therefore, that some of our contemporaries should fall into the error of sup posing the new commission for amalgamating the government offices to be charged with the task of inquiring into the nature of the different depart mental work, and the possibility of entrusting its performance to fewer men ; or that subordinate officials should be in a tremor of alternate hope and fear as to the effect of the promised changes upon their prospects and their pay. The financial anomalies of the civil service are such, that the mere transfer of a set of clerks from one depart ment to another in which analogous duties are per formed, might be a source of considerable profit, or might inflict the gravest pecuniary injury ; and as long as this is so, it is but natural that the pros pect of amalgamation should cause lively anxiety to the men who would be affected by it. But the plain truth is that Mr. Goschen and his colleagues have before them the less difficult, but' perhaps equally useful duty of arranging how our different departments may be best housed, and no questions relating to consolidation of functions, abolition of appointments, or alteration of scales of salary, will come before them in their present capa city. There are scattered over the metropolis a vast number of buildings appropriated to public purposes other than those belonging to the crown. The offices of the Secretary of State for India are at present in an hotel belonging to a joint stock company, and there is scarcely one of the larger departments without succursals which seem to have squatted haphazard in the first quiet street where a house was to be let. How far this inconvenient state of things will be re medied by the stately pile of new offices approaching completion ; to what extent existing edifices may be altered to meet modern require ments ; and how much time and money may be saved by bringing cognate departments under one roof, it will be the business of the new Commission to determine. The act by which the Audit-office is amalgamated with that of the Exchequer, and the arrangement tfor concentrating the different branches of the Admiralty at Whitehall, will, for example, render vacant a great portion of Somerset , house. The extent to which this is required by the other departments, and the number of rooms which may be appropriated to government function aries for whose offices the country is paying rent, will doubtless be settled by these gentlemen_ Again, such questionable arrangements as the one by which a block of shops, in some of which hazardous trades are carried on, are left standing, a serious disfigurement and a permanent danger, between two wings of a public building containing docu ments of the utmost importance to the country, will, it is to be assumed, come within its scope. There is plenty of good and useful work to be done in this and similar directions ; but it is well that official reformers and the public should under stand that the talked-of amalgamation of offices is in reality a concentration merely, and that although the changes to ensue may largely facilitate the country's business, besides saving some hundreds a year in messengers and porterage, they will not necessarily result in a diminution of the number of clerks.

HENRY Cuumuts Brt Another of the race of " fine old English gentlemen" has been removed from amongst us, and the news of the death of Mr. Hairy Charles Start, of Critabell, will send a pang of regret far beyond the county which is the graataut sufferer by his loom Mr. Shirt was not simply a Donet shire squire. Apart from his aristocratic oonnexioes, and the town declaim which be was widely known, wee another and a hig h er circle of acquaintances, those who know a man only by lais public actions, and honour, for his benevolence and public spirit, him whom they hays never seen. There are many who will have to remember that for eleven years Mr. Sturt was member for the county of Dorset but rose of these will ever have forgotten Mr. Start as a philanthropist—es a publicepirited landowner—as a land lad endeared to a large body of tenantry—and as a moat amiable gentleman in every relation of life. For some months it has been known that his complaint (an internal tumour) was incurable, and the sad announcement, that we now make, with unfeigned sorrow, will not come upon the public unprepared. He passed away calmly and en tirely free from pain, about 11 o'clock on ffetur&ay night, in the bosom of his family, tranquilly dying surrounded by his wife.

WRECK OP • PILIMIENOER STEAMER IN THE THANES.—Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, coesiderable excitement was caused by rumours that a steam vessel, laden with passengers, had gone down in the Thames, and (hat several persons were drowned, but it was soon ascer tained that the latter part of the rumour was incorrect. It appears that the Dryad steam vessel, plying with pas senger between Woolwich, Oreenwieb, and London, left Hungerford-pier about 5 o'clock, having, fortunately, but few passengers on board beyond the crew, and after taking in several more passengers at the Temple and Blackfriare piers, she proceeded down the river, and when near All-billows-pier, London-bridge, from some cause, which is as yet unexplained, she struck with groat force on the foreshore, the result being that her rudder was carried away, and the vessel sustained such injuries that she commenced filling with water rapidly. As might be expected, the utmost consternation prevailed amongst the passengers, and not without reason, as the vessel was evidently fast going down. The captain and crew, however, behaved with perfect coolness, and fortanately,!the most e ffi cient assistance being at hand, the whole of the passengers were rescued by small craft and other vessels, and immediately afterwards the steamer completely sank, nothing being now visible but her funnel. The captain and crew remained on the vessel until after all others were out, and was partially immersed in the water ; and the mate, whew exertions were most praise worthy, had to swim for his life, but was fortunately picked up by a small boat. PAINFUL OCCURRENCE ON THE SOLWAY FIRTH. — For some time past a gang of five workmen front Carlisle have been engaged with an engine in driving piles along the marsh at Drumburgh, on the English side of the Solway Firth, with the view of protecting the land, which belongs to the Earl of Lonsdide, from the encroachments of the tide. On Monday last they were so engaged, and at 12 o'clock had retired to a little hut which they had erected for the purpose of eating their dinners. The tide for the day was a high one (above twenty-one feet), and the weather, which was unusually boisterous, brought up a still heavier flood. These circumstances, however, bad not been taken into account by the workmen, who having finished their repeat, discovered to their dismay that their hut was surrouutled for a wide area by a considerable depth of water. They could not open the door of their hut from the pressure of the water hut, escaping through an aperture, succeeded in making their way to a raft of logs moored on the marsh. The wind continuing to blow with great violence, the chain holding the log on which they had taken shelter snapped, and the frail raft, with its living freight, immediately drifted out to sea. The log fortunately, however, washed up against the pile-driving machine, when the men snatched at the guys or stays, which four of them suc ceeded in laying hold of, :and were afterwards rescued. The fifth man failed, and, still straddling on the log, was washed out to sea. Denial forebodings are entertained as to his fate. JUMPING OVERBOARD. —An inquest was held at the Red Lion, fitubington, on Monday, by E. Hoskins, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of William Stones, Esq., a gentleman who, when in an unsound state of mind, jumped overboard front the ship Norreandy„in Southamp ton Water, about two months ago, on his passage from Jersey. The body was found seethed upon the 'bore be tween Browndown and Hill Head by one of the coast guardinen early on Sunday morning. Verdict, " Found drowned."— West Sussex Gazette. THE JAMAICA A ARNING.—The Boston Christian Register says :—"Wludever a few, ignorant, prejudiced, or mercenary men may wish or design, it is the evident pur pose of the majority of Americans that this problem shall be solved so as to save us from a repetition of the Jamaica butcheries. We intend to scatter the spelling book and reader through the whole South. Though school houses he burned, and, it may be in some instances teachers be killed, the black man will have the privilege of learning to read. If there is one idea rooted and woven into the minds of the masses, who will in the future rule this country, it is that which recognises and insists on univer sal education. This idea will become a eat north and south, east and west, among blacks and whites. Again, our institutions are based on the principle that government must emanate from the people, and that no class, as a class, shall be excluded from the ballot. This is the American idea, and though it has been confronted by one entirely its antagonist, the latter has had to yield. What the war could not prevent will not be stayed by presi dential vetoes. American ideas of education and liberty will rule America. All efforts to withstand the onward progress will be of no nvaiL The triumph may be retarded. but it will merely come at last. We may have our Bull Rune, and Chancellonsalles, and Red River disasters, but these will at last followed by eictory. The horrid scenes in Jamaica teach an to beware how we delay or postpone the work of education and the exercise of justice. Four millions of freedmen in a republic, without equal rights and privileges, are vastly more dangerous to the national welfare than the same number of slaves. Tho voice then which comes fromJallllLiCLI is one of solemn warning. Let us begin by being just to the freedmen, and then will come the blessed fruit of righteousness. They will add to the wealth, strength, and happiness of the nation. A DEPUTY'S Vs'oug—" It is a laborious life," says the France, " that of a deputy actively performing his duties, or of a member of the government endearourinp to convince the chamber. The public ices only the brilliant side of that agitated existence. But those persons who have applauded M. Thiers or M. de Forcade Is Roquette, ought to witness the spectacle which follows great public sitting. By seven o'clock the mass of the members have left, only those remaining who have spoken and who correct the text of their speeches. That task is often prolonged far into the night. After the sitting of Saturday last, M. Thiers, aided by his secretary who had joined him, set to work after having put on warm linen brought him by his valet, and at 3 in the morning was still at work correcting the proofs brought him from the printing-office. He bad near him a roll of bread and a bowl of soup, of which he took a spoonful now and then. But, in fact, that little man seems made of iron ; and no one can say which is most to be admired, the vivacity of his mind or the stout constitution of his body." " I don't miss my church so much as you yippee," add a lady to her minister, who bad called upon her during her illness, " for I make Betsy sit up by the window as soon as the bells begin to chime, and tell me who are going to church, and whether they have got anything now."—Asieriosit paper.

The anniversary festival, in connexion with the North London or University College Hospital, was held last evening, at Willis's-rooms ; the Duke of Cambridge in the- chair. After giving the loyal toasts, his royal high ness proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers." He again, as at the Mansion-house, denied that the recent exhibitions of Feninnism were an indication that the unny was disloyal. Beat-ring to the medical profession, he said there certainly hail been a disposition to look upon the medical profession in the army less cordially than should be the case. He could only say for himself, that he once, though not lately, served in regiments, and bad always seen the medical officersregarded, and had himself regarded them, as a very important branch of the service, and he should be very glad if this asmirance would tend to re move an impression to the contrary. (Cheers.) His royal highness subsequently proposed the toast of the evening, and made a warm-hearted appeal on behalf of hospitals generall', and the University College Hospital in particu lar. This establishment, lie said, was not only the sole pro vision for a large district, but it contained a great school of medicine, which had benefited the country at large, and added reputation to the institution itself. He visited the hospital two days ago, and found everything in excellent condition, but was sorry to find that although the hospitul would accommodate two hundred patients, the means at the disposal of the directors limited the admissions to 110. During the year there had been admitted—in-patients, 1,400 ; oat-patients, 15,000, including 1,440 suffering from eye disease ; casual canes, 12,000. Since the foundation (1833), no less than 450,000 persons had received benefit from the hospital. The annual expenditure was 6,500/., and the total income, including annual subscrip tion., fees paid by students for clinical inntruc tion,and fees relinquished by the physicians and surgeons, for the benefit of the charity, and interest from invest ments was not more than 2,840 f. This left a deficiency of nearly 4,000/. to be male up by the general public. At the close of the proceedings subscriptions to the amount of more thanl,sool. were announced. Between the speeches there were musical performances from Messrs. Winn, Dawson, M. Smith, Carter, H. Buck Land ; Musters Brown, Heney, and Rowe; and Misses Cronin and Iknry. The toast master was Mr. Harker, jun. The chairman's health was given by Lord Helper. SIR JOHN SIBLEON, M.P., AND THE REFORM BILL. —The inhabitants of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight, hav ing sent a petition in favour of the government Reform Bill to Sir John Simeon, Itart.,thimember for the inland, for presentation to the House of Commons, Sir John wrote the following reply :—" 72, Eaton-place, S.W., April 12,1806. My dear sir,—l have received the petition which you have forwarded, and shall have much pleasure in presenting it at the sitting of the house this evening. I need hardly say that I cordially support its prayer, and I am glad to find that the men of Shanklin are not indifferent to the great question which will shortly be decided. I have no doubt of the second reading being carried by a satisfactory majority. The savings batik franchise has from the first struck me as a doubtful one, end I shall give all attention to it in committee. Upon the proposal of disfranchising the workmen in the government dockyards, I have had no hesitation in coming to a conclusion adverse to the propo eition, which I think must be withdrawn, as I feel sure that it cannot be carried.-1 am, &c., JOHN SINZON.—Mr. R.
