Sir ROBUT kept muffling and numuffing his meaning during the spaoo of three quarters of an hour or more, letting one get a peep at one comer now, and then wrapping it up again hastily in new folds of neutral-ccoured s'offi as 'tie his wont to do. But the keen eyes of want have already caught sufficient glimps a from afar to assure them as they would fain assure themselves, that the shape and form of the ent;re is not very dif ferent from that we have etched thus rudely.

SIR C. J. NAPIER AND TEE LYDIAN WAR. It is now definitively awanged that General Sir Charles James Napier, the new Commander-In-Chief in India, will leave town for Marseilles by the mail of the 24th iast not the 20th, as was stated last week by several of our watemporarke. Sir Charles will be entertained by the di rectors of urdaext. the Bast India Company :at a grand banquet on Sat The embarkation of the 76th and 87th reeiments for India will not take plsce until after the arrival of the seat mail from India. These regiments an, however, ordered to hold themselves in readiness to then embark without delay. The nature of the next information will also decide whether the East India Company will ivply or not for an additional force of the Queen's troopr. The roman, therefore, to the effect that several other regiments are to proceed from this country to India an premature, and without any foundation whatever. GERMANY. SCHLESWIO-HOLSTEIN.—We have dates to March 6. The legislative Assembly sill meet on the 13th instant in Schleswig for the despatch of butiness. Chevalier Bunsen, in consequence of instruc tions received from Frankfort and Berlin, has re plied very concisely to the official announcement of the King of Denmark, denouncing the armistice cf Mamie. He declares that the negotiations for peace are thereby broken off, and must be broken off until that denunciation be withdrawn. England and France have, it is said, likewise manifested to Denmark their serious disapprobation of this denunciation. Denmark will thus be thrown back more esinplttely upon Russia, and ;will find at St. Petersburg an energetic supporter, the more so since the Russian note to the Berlin cabinet, which was at first doubted, is now positively denied. There wu to be a meeting at Schleswig, on the 6th, of the bureau of the National Assembly, for the purpose of discussing the important que.tion whether it be needful, under existing circumstances, imme ' diately to convoke the Assembly. Great activity prevails in the war department at Schleswig . General Bonin clearly manifests greet interest in the Schleswig-H*loam canoe. It is reported that the results consequent upon the treaty of pe we are expected to have an unfavourable influence open the inhabitants of Schleswig-Holstein, and that for this reason all the Schleswig-Holstein troops are to quit the country and to be replaced by troops of the em pire. Tne new levy amounts to 3,500 men. The burghers of Itendsbarg bare quarters fur 3,000. A gun boat for the Schleswig-Holstein service basked been launched at Gluckstadt. The command of the native troops will probably be confided to Colonel Fabrics's. .BERLIN, ?Dam q. The strength of parties in the second chamber has been for the moment decided by the publication of the programme of the Right with 171 signatures at tached. This is a dear majority in the present hones, bat it is not • majority when the after-elections are completed, for then the chamber will consist of 349 members. These remained on tho opening day 31 re-elections to make; of these several have taken place, mostly in favour of the liberals.

The Chambers did not meet yesterday, but to-day was a field day i n both, with sharp fi ghting. In the Second Chamber, with which I begin as the first in importance, the presence of Brandenburg and Mon teuffel, with three other ministers, urn the ministe rial benches, showed that the cattieg would be no common one. The business began by Man ta:lW announcing that he had to lay be fore the home two propositions in eoenexion with the removal of the state of siege. Irma, he was empowered by his Majesty to bring in three bills 1. On the abuse of the right of assembly and asisocia ties. 2. On the misuse of placards and hand-bills. 3. On the regulation of the press. His mooed pro- position coarsened a memorial of the ministry, in which the grounds were represented which had induced the imposition and prolongation of the state of siege. He finished by saying that when the chamber bad examined and accepted the bills he now placed before them, the point of time would be nearly reached when the daft of siege might be responded The president ordered the propositions to be sent to press, and then to be examined in the sec tion. He thin announced the secretaries elected to be Ciesder, Osterman, Oelkrn, and Sperling, all of the right. On the order of the day stood the follow ing motion of Vitae, which wu read : that the chamber appoint a committee to draw up a p roject of address in answer to the King's speech. 15s leader of the right supported hie motion in a vay short speech, in which he said that it was of the highest importance that the relation of Prussia to the central ment should be known sa soon as possible. Kirebmann and Kinkel spoke in opposition to the motion, Moller and Heylandt for. A division was called for when it appeared that for the motion were 172; against, 169. Only two deputies were absent from this important division. In the first chamber the ministry may be said to have suffered a defeat. A motion was brought forward by Lens to suspend the action of the ministerial decrees of 2nd and 3rd January, reforming the courts of law. Leers motion was supported by Mild., Bornemann, and other members of the highest consideration in the house, and there was a large majority in favour of taking his motion into further consideration.

THE Austrian cabinet hailing prepared a charter or constitution to be issued simultaneously with the dissolution of the K►emrier diet. In this charter Ike emperor grants a kind of federal cooetitaties to all the states of ifs empire, Hungary and Lombardy in cluded. Each province is to have provincial states ; and this. states, as in America, elect the imperial senate. The federal or imperial lower chamber is to be chosen by direct election, and by electors who pay eighteen shillings direct taxation in town, and nine brine in the country. The chief liberties of the person, the press, of religious worship, and tolerance of arsociatiooe, and of others recognised in all eanstitutional countries, are promised by this charter, which is not only a boon to the empire, bat a great concession to the malcontents of Lombardy, as well as to the insurgents of Hungary. The latter, however, will not relish the clause abolishing all internal fiscal divisions, and assimilating Hungary Proper in matters of taxation and customs to the rest at the empire. So fir in the debate on the navigation laws the greatest stress has been Lid by the peotectiosiets on their petitions, and especially on the numbers of signatures to those from Liverpool and London. To these Mr. HERRIES turned exultingly, and asked where were those on the other side ?—where the ex pression of public feeling in favour of the rep al of the navigation laws? Do the protectionists really supper that the peaple of oar greet industrial towns have just now (when, after a period of Leg and se vere depression, trade is bettering itself) got nothing else to do than hold meetings to answer the very ab sordites that far seven years they devoted their beet energies to overcome, and at length got laughed and legislated out of existence ? Do they imegine that London, Manchester, Birming ham, neffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Bradfarl, Derby, Liverpool, Hull, and all our other great com mensal and manufacturing towns, really like to speed time and some little money on petitions, and take plea sure in all the trouble and expense of getting up and presenting such representations of public opinion, when, tou, that opinion is perfectly well known ? The people of this country have fought the battle of free trade at home, abroad, and wherever any petted interest took its stand. They know well that protection has no strength left, and that no rem nant of monopoly can be continued. The indus try of England has shaken off its fetters—our mira culous machinery—our genius for invention—our inherited aptitude, improved from generation to gene ration into almost perfect skill, grew too powerful for restriction, and flung the burden off We are no longer limited to special cora fields, or cane fides, or coffee plantations. Our sickles ars in every harvest ; from every forest we hew our timber. Already free trade has called into action new enter prise, new energies, new relations with the world. At bores its impulse is felt, and it is felt abroad—seat, west, north, south, in every climate under heaven. Wherever there were lands to till or mines to work, or any fabric to manufacture, or the sun was to be let shine upon the earth where for ages silent woods bad stood, five trade has been as a talisman awaken ing the intelligence of men. There was no need, therefore, for petitions against the navigation laws. The people felt satisfied that, with so much of the world's produce fres to be brought to our markets on equal terms with our own productions, no government could continue to allow our shipowners a monopoly of the carriage. Had Mr. lvtrcattoo mired for petitions, he would have had them in abundance. Had he wished for meetings, they would have been called for him in every town throughout the kingdom that bad lent its aid to the Anti-Corn-law League. The people are no more in favour of a ship law than they wove of a corn law; bet having established free trade not merely as a principle, but a great commercial fact, they are content to leave the details to be quietly worked out in parliament. If, however, there were any doubts . as to the success of the measure, the protectionists would soon be taught that there has come no change as to free trade over the opinions of the people of England—there has set in no readies. They ere of the same opinion sewben they returned the majority to the present parliament; and as to the question Won us, they look upon ship owners simply as carriers, ships as one of the appliances of trade ; sad they , attribute the postai= of our commercial marine to the of our pro elections, and the multitude, wea l frrd a skill of our loop ... l .e lation. The very idea of shipping as a special is perfectly laughable: we might as well be WOrcabs and omnibuses as an interest distinct hem Bet l t i f e l er tle once protested interests, shipowners amnredly have the least cause of complaint. Already free trade has given them a rich return. Own, edger, coffee, cattle, umber, provisions, have, daring the lest three years, made them the most profitable time within the memory of most of them. Many have, over and over again, more than cleared the cost of their vessels by the free-trade freights of those years —freights, be it remembered, gained foe them in spite of themselves. The shipowners, at all events, have been coexistent; they have stood by every monopoly, and resisted every increase of imports and exports, bat still they have had the inersese, and there inseam with a spxetal ill grebe to demean the Wen mica of fee et trade principles to their own case. Railways, said an eminent ship-broker at Liverpool, a few weeks since, have scarcely In their *mint days been so pay ing a property as ships to their owners in these free- Lan downers, &mem East and West Indian', have scarcely bad time to develop their resources and to set to work in earnest at improved and mamma pre destines. Bo far they have but felt the gar of war p e titi o n, and have begun to start, and yawn, and stretch themselves ; and it may be, that, from over sleeping, they have got into some troubles, and so they snarl and grumble, and are oat of temper and dissatisfied. But all bas been a harvest to the ship. owners: the period of trial for others has been a period of unexampled prosperity for them. They are not 'eked to compete with the world with only the old amount of goods to carry. New demands have beta Greeted, new markets opened for them • and mean. w h i l e , so caught hold of by railways a nd revolutions hes been the disposable capital of this end ether conntrice, that speculation ha. been prevented free running into ship-handing, so that the shipowner' have had it all their own way. They ha ve h a d ample warning, too, that their monopoly was to fol low the rest, and even long since admitted it them selves, the very ground of their opposition to the the league being that if corn laws ware repe a led, every ether probed's an d go by the &era, and there wadi sees be nesireigedem law. Bat in the exeitemest of lading that thole Ws has come at last, the ship own,' seem to less eight of the fat that that "nand Ask hole competition is at home; that the sentionance of the navigation laws would, in the pre med shanienee of minqloyed °Waal, be the very wont th= o hat a ceald betel Sem. They _have called to the pianos of their interest ; r i :p i Id mirth of trade has already turned the qu irk eye of capital in that direction ; the caution of late may peened, for a while, speculation in ship building far a free sea, and, meanwhile, there will be other fro/ But were shipowners to pin another trae l e a l li the navigation laws, and so ap =to establish their assertion, that our one esiehe owes its present greetnem to prenetien, and can increase only under a navigation Les capital would catch et the delu sion, then wield be an immedi a t e vamk lion in ship. building, and sew shipowners would be taught with a unsnap , th i s only English capital and energy can I compete with Pregffistionois. TWA we cannot compete with foreign shipping Is • Wig delesion. Never was any ahmudity mem Wetly imisnsble, the fact being that we do eampsto with them all mid bast them all. The utmost as of the Lards, and the utmost in genuity of linesmen, were sushis to shake the antheritygof the official tables : ohmg the heading of the tables as they might, or transfer tle moats d shipless countries to the protected Mk of the table, or get up what contusion they could about the repeated voyages of steamers, .4ot thy did aseleavosr to make a smirked dist' nc' ion between ems ship plag the same voyage twice. and two ships =keg it ones, stall theligurss,with a most sentinel' pmvasity, would prove the cornets's, of Mr. Poirriz's statement,—that the harem of Sr boasts and seamen is small where we have the seas to ourselves, groat where we most foreigners In direct cm:wadies. Mr. Vinson, in his clear and able speech, showed ermolusively that trading straight across between their own cosatries and this, we sue the French, Ciersiera, Prussians, Austrians, Danes, and Swedes ; and that, thud re, we have nothing to fear from competition with them in trading between this sod countries not their own. But, say the protectionists, you open new ems to them, you let them into the Asiatic, African, and American trade, you let them ade about amongst our co!oeies, you invite them to sail against es where we almost for sees have sailed alone. Well, are there any, special ' Prussian, French, Rummies, or American winds in those seam, or are our 'kips and sailors there inferior to the rest, or by what magic, is a Prussian ship to °Mail as in the Indian seas, or the Atlantic, or Paci fic Oman, when in their own seas and their own parts we outsell them P But every country, my they, will send ships into the newly opened lines of trade. Be it so; they must leave their old lines open to us. They have nut ships enough for both ; they have no hidden fleets ready for them distant seas. True, they can bead them ; but then the were of their own carpenters, smiths, riggers, and w wbes, and the east of their own timber, aid of all the iron and copper ' chains, ambles, anchors, ropes, hemp, and sails, that we or other countries stiffly them with mast be increased, and so the oast of the build and maxim!. ion of their ships will be increased, and their posi tion es competitors in these new lines of trade made more difficult than at home, and oar emcees in com petition by . so mock the easier. It won't do to say that this rile in wages is mere theory; on the con trary, it is a proved fact. "The wages of shipwrights," says Captain BRIGGS, "are at the present time (1846), owing to the great demand, 10a a day; they are ordinarily Bs. 4d." But there is great mention of the American coasting vessels, as if they could at once swarm into the Indian trade, or take the plats of the line of packet; ships in the English trade. It is forptien, that such rush into this foreign trade would soon send them home again, with heavy loss, from the cheapened freights ; that the fittest coasters in the world are our own Indian country ships—in short, the only wasters ready for long voyages; vessels many of them of large tonnage, strong, wed-built, mostly teak, and almost everlasting. The repeal of the navigation laws will raise oar native Indian tailors to the rank of British seamen which should never have been denied them, and so admit these vessels to all foreign ports on the same terms as our own. All other increase of chips for those long voyages must be gradual, and if we are to buy our new ships entirely of foreigners, it will be a puzzle to them, for some time, at least, to get any built the themselves. Bat as our shipowners are so in love with these long voyages, they should bestir them selves to prevent the making of the peered canals across the isthmuses of Panama and Sues, and should have a law passed that all ve-sels must for ever double the Cape el Good Rope and Cape Horn. It really is difficult to treat the subject as a serious one. Nor is it an easy matter to believe that the shipowners can be in earnest. It does 1o .k like a mere joke, the presenting of those peti eons frcen,Liverpool and London, though, after the pro cession of seamen, we can understand how they may hare been got up ; but the difficulty is to believe that men can look at those acres of docks, those whole streets and piles of warehouses, those cities of ships, those millions' worth of goods going and coming from every quarter of the globe continually, and can have any real fear of foreign competition, and real belief that any other country can bring such means into tho Sold of competition, or, above all, can mil us off the asee—nor can they imagine that this supre macy of comme•cial wealth and power is the growth of any or of all the long-trusted Totems of protection. No, they are the growth of en industry, an intelli gence, a perseveranee, that has made us great beyond and in spite of protection; and as long as there are goods to be carried, and ships to be built, these win giro us the first place as shipowners, builders, and sailors. The government measure dose, however, leave the shipowners some just ground of complaint. It should throw open our whole coasting trade, that we ma 7 have*. like advantage from other countries, and it should allow the manning of our ships with seamen of any country. The sailors' grievances, too,—the perpetually vexatious system of registration, and the tyranny el impressment—should be abolished, and the Braman left like every other workman, at all times free to seek employment where he can get the bight at wages. If the state want his skill let the state Ray for it, and not steal the man and make a slave of him. There are rearms and arguments so fall, so over wheboleg, that we can well conceive mercantile com munities think it quite needless to petition. But membire of parliament should not be lukewarm. The Lords' are best on resistance, and the only way to prevent their folly, is such a majority in the Com mons as they may think it prudent to respect. Boos are looking up. Through every part of Con. nought hope long unfamiliar has been diffused. Wild words of recovering courage already are pronounced with half-hysteria accents. Mute despair no levier holds undivided sway amid the desolation. A video in the air has been heard whispering • 1 12 i.

Hitherto they have hoped on against all hope, and have received no com fort. Mayo landlords, who elaborately set forth their utter inability from want of means to discharge the essential duties of their station, and thereby fancied they were making out irrefragable claims on aid, or at least sympathy, have for now a l ' onraM , found that there was ,no other answer for them but a saucy lesson in lonia obligations from the knight of the ruthless pen; or a public caricature of their private woes In the columns of the specially informed organ. If you cannot improve and employ, the sooner you mush from the same the better. If you cannot realise the ancient price of your estates, why then you must oaly take what you ern get. It may be much, or it may be little; but pray observe, dull Celts, that the lower the pries, the faster you will find purchasers. Unhappy lads_ and squires could only wring their bnadm eperehlem agony, lock themselves up in their *sedum measions, velem to pay rates, dismiss their remelabloth Monroe, trust to the chapter of aoci. dents, and wait for the end.

Thine are few estates in the Western Highlands that are not dipped,more deeply than such a price would be adequate to clear. And to expect that men will of their own free will merinos the nominal ownership (which, be it ever so delusive as a test of income, carries with it, nevertheleu, social rank, and local privilege and power), was et best an idle dream ; bat being relied on as the rationale of legisla tion in the matter, it has been found to be an erxeedingly mischievous one.

PROPOSED VICARAGE AT RICHMOND.—On Fries: night a numerously attended meeting war held in the Bee lecture Hall, Richmond, to petition parliament againstpre ing a bill now before the House of Commons, termed "T Richmond Vicarage Bill," which is to sever it from Ma 3 toe, the vicar of which holds both livings, as well as the s' Ham. The bill, which has been read twice, provides** Richmond shall be a distinct vicarage, and that a Teddies be provided with two acres of ground for • garden kir* new vicar, whose salary will be 4001., paid out of the pm rents, as heretofore.

Yeaterday morning, about 4 o'clock, a fire broke out in the extend's range of premises belonging to Messrs. Whits, Greened, and Co., haberdashers, &^.. carrying on business at 63, 61, and 66, Blaekfriars•road. The discovery wan made by a police sergeant, who raised an alarm, and sentfor the egging. After some trouble, the whole of the inmates, nearly fltty in number, male and female, were aroused from their plumbers. The building, however was so full of smoke, that the nisi dents made a precipitate retreat into the street in their clothes. When the engines arrived, the flames were rung (seriously in the first floor. The shop below contained the stock in trade, valued at nearly 20,0001., and rtes fireman were obliged to carry the hose of their engines into that portion of the premises. An &bonding* of water was scattered over the flames ; but they were ad eztioguished until that portion of the premises in which the disinter commenced was burned out, and the lower part damaged by water, etc. Mr. Braidwood reports the done as follows " Front sitting-room on first floor g burned out ; 8 or 10 yards of flooring and jointing through into shop. The goods in south-met corner of dot damaged by water, and upper part of house by auks og heat. Forty or fifty feet of plate-glee broken."

MEETING AT PONTEFRACT. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the ancient borough of Pontefract was held in the town-hall, on Satur day last, the 10th instant, for the purpose of adopting a pee tion to parliament in favour of Mr. Cobden's motion, for the formation of special treaties of arbitration, to supersede the cruel and costly war system. Resolutions in favour of arbi tration were agreed to, and a petition to parliament was adopted by the meeting, REMOVAL OF IRISH PAUPERS FROM ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND._ Adeputation from the inhabitants of Belfast waited at the try for the Rome Department at the Hoar office, on Friday, for the purpose of impressing on her Ma jesty's govemstnest the aeons ty ef an alteration in the law, which retes the removal of bisb pauper from England l and Soot l~ind The deputation coward of Mr. W. G. John ' eon, the Mayor of Belfast, Mr. Fenton, Mr. Bates, and Mr. Bryden. Mr. JOHNSON drew the attention of the right hon. but. to the feet that the port of Belfast being the nearest poet to Scotland. was continually burdened with the importation of pupas who had emigrated to England end Scotland, and who, having no settlement by law in these countries, were removed by the anions on which they became chargeable. The num ber of paupers landed on the quays at Belfast, from the 17th of July, 1847, to the 29th of January, 1849, amounted to 12,100, and according to the pros Wow of the Irish poor law, they became immediately entitled to relief from the Belfast poor-law urn, while the guardians of that union had no right to apply the poor rates for the purpose of removing those persons to the plates of their birth or former residence. Moreover, if they possesoed such power, it was submitted that it wwld not to just that the union of Belfast, with which the pau per had previously been unconnected, and to which he had been sent under a legal process, should bear the expense. The maintenance of such a number of pumas at the low rate of b. ed. per bead would in one ear amount to the sum of 47,1701. It was obvious, ther efore, that sinless the English and Scotch low of removal shall be altered, the con. setenere of this state of things would prove moat injurious to Belfast. Sir G. GREY admitted the hardship of the case, and asked what remedy the deputation e ? The Deputation thought that the system adopted in Rag land with regard to the removal of English paupers from the parish where they became chargeable, to the pa rish where they had a legal claim for relief could be carried out with reference to the transmission of Irish paupers. They proposed, therefore, that the English pre cedent should be adopted—that was to say that when the Irish pauper became chargeable on the English parish and had no settlement in England, the justices should inquire re specting his place of birth in Ireland, and that he should be rest there in the same manner as when an Enlists pauper, who became chargeable on a distant parish in England, was sent to the parish where he had a claim for suppport. Sir G. GREY said he would give the suggestion attentive consideration and communicate his determination to the deputation. THE WOODS AND FORESTS AS COMMIS SIONERS OF METROPOLITAN IMPROVE MENTS. _ _ _ It appears from a return presented to the Hones of Commons on the sth inst., that the Woe& and Forests have been borrowing pretty freely on the security of the land revenues of the crown, to carry on the improvements in the metropolis. The act 3& 4 Vic., c. 87, authorised the formation of three new streets—from Oxford-street to Holborn; from Long aere to Charlotte-street; from London Docks to Spit &Melds. The act 4 Vic. c. 12, authorised two new lines of street—from C oventry-street to Loog-acre, and from East Smithfield to Rosemary-lane. Ac cording to the sots 4 & 5 Vic., c. 40, and 7 Vic., c. 1, the only limit to the amount authorised to be borrowed fr the construction of these streets is, to "such sums es the Commissioners of Woods shall, with the consent and approbation of the Lords of the Treasury, judge neceisary for completiag the improvements authorised by the acts for forming them." Of this tolerably lati tudinarian permission the Woods and Foteats have availed themselves as follows: From the 18th of August, 1841, to the 24th of August, 1847, they have borrowed various sums to the amount of 805,0001.; and they have paid interest urn them to the amount of 160,2511. Of this total paid as interest 44,7811. have been paid out of the land revenue income, and 115,4701. out of the principal of money borrowed. Rather more than one-eighth of the money raised by way of loan has been expecded in paying the interest upon the loans. An arrangement which has just been entt red into with the bank is quite in keeping with this egregious system of management. The commissioners tell us that they have a bill before parliament to empower them to borrow 100,000!. from the Bank of England to enable them to replace 90,0001. temporarily advatced out of the funds of the land revenue. Borrowing money to pay the interest on other loans, and slipping en addittonal 10,0001. into a new loan just because it is convenient to have that sum, are transactions curiously resembling those of Charles Surface with his" little Premium." CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST. The First Anniversary Festival of this charity was held on Saturday at the ',melon Tavern, the Earl of Carlisle presiding. About 400 gentlemen sat down to dinner, among whom we noticed Samuel H.R. antiPaninel (junior) Gurney, &qrs., Aldermen Sidney, Fancourt, and Finals ; J. Allard, J. Dillon, H. Ford Barclay, Thomas Howell, I. W. Baton, J. Masterman, junior, B. Bunsen, Rum. • musical party, under the direction of Mr. Rumford, sang gement songs and gloss in the course of the evening. On the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN gave the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, which were all duly re. sponded to. The toast of " the army and navy " was received with especial cheerinsr, the noble chairman having in pro posiag the toast, noticed in glowing terms the prompti tude with which a distinguished soldier (Sir C. I. Napier) had consented to cross the ocean at a moment's notice, when the exigencies of the national service required it. The next toast was " Prosperity to the City of London Hospital." The CHAIRMAN, in calling attention to the peculiar elms of human suffering which this imitation proposed to assuage, said that he Gould hardly make his hearers understand the necessity of the case without a few statistics. This was a statistical age us he knew to hie eat as chairman o several public' boards—and in the present case a few eta &tics were absolutely necessary. It appeared that the amount of hospital accommodation in the metropolis com prised 3,600 beds of which one.half were occupied by magi cal cams ; and of the remaining half the great proportion were taken up with meted, leaving but a mere fraction for the mass of *brad malady which was unhappily to be found in all large and crowded communities. _Mem, hear.) What an amount of pain and sorrow did not that simple statement of facts imply ? The slow agony, the wasting frame, the weary path to which there was no outlet but death. (Hear, bear.) In such a state of things, every one would admit how &mixable it was that hospital accommodation should be provided for • class acmes whisk one-third of the mortality of the whole himpisns. " M bil l i esi no desire to oppose the insti tution at Beemptei. They were not envious of its ornamen tal turrets, nor even elks Nightingale who had sung so sweetly eadsopstokedeely in its groves.

(Hear, hear.) Such objects were well worthy the attention of the charitable. He remembered having seen inscribed in a travel's:No book among the glaciers of Switzerland the melancholy admiration of a consumptive patient whose mesas allowed him to fly to the south to stay to awhile the hand of his grim opponent : Hare Moak a moment from Italia alq And stops sad wonders on his way to me, Bat the afflicted London artisan could not fly be the shel tered plains of Italy or the emirs games et Bleadra ; and therefore they were asked now to wails he Masud' aids and appliances at hems as would are the yes of his cooditioo.

With these observations be dwell eeseideibe prosperity of the institution to their ezediess. (Rear, hew. The toast having been responded to, the tibscarrAnv pro ceeded to read the report, which, in addition to the fscts touched upon in the speech of the chairman, stated that the amount received since the commltessaqatlf the buditation wu 6011. is. 2d., and the expenditure 6631. 17e. kid:, leav ing a balsas* in hand of 471.8 a. 4d..

The report was adopted, and a alludes made, which, including donations, amounted to the mast 1,7161. The other toasts on the chairman's Het were dm dhposed of, and the company esparated. DEATH OF ANTHONY WHITE, Facie—The atedioil profession his lost ens of its brightest ornaments in Mr. Anthony White, the eminent surgeon, who died at his house l Farliament.street, on Friday morning last, at an 'deemed age. M. White was of a nor*-eountry family. sad was a graduate of the university of Cambridge, where he took an honourable degree. He came to London at an early period, and commenced practice as aristantwurgeon at the Westminster Hospital, with which institution to the day of his death he continued to be associated. Mr. White speedily obtained celebrity for the do:laity and memo cilia operation, in the most diMellt
