ROYAL SOCIETY OF MUSICIANS. The one hundred and seventeenth annual festi val of this society was held at Freemasons' Hall, on Thursday. Having more than once explained the objects of this old and most valuable institution, and pouted out the benefits which, for more than a cen tury, it has conferred up on th e members of the musical profession, we shall only advert at present to one feature of its management, which was de seethed almost a century ago by Dr. Burney, the celebrated historian of music, whose de scription remains true to the letter at the present day. "No charitable institution," says Bur ney, "can be more out of the reach of abuse, em bezzlement, or partiality, can be regulated with more care, integrity, and economy, or have its income so immediately derived from the talents and activity of its own members, than this. There is no lucrative employment belonging to the society, except a small salary to the secretary and collector; so that the whole produce of benefits and subscriptions is net, and clear of all deduction or drawback, for the governors defray all the expenses of their carious meet ings out of their own pockets." At a time like the pro mo t,when (as oorown columns have repeatedly shown) so large an amount of the funds of benevolent insti tutions is diverted from their real objects into the pockets of officials in the shape of salaries and ex trWs feature ia the management of the Royal ie s :; of Musicians cannot be too much noticed and applauded. In looking into the general statement of receipts and expenditure for the year 1851, we ob serve that an income of 3,0441. 15e. 6d. has been applied to the beneficent purposes of the institution with no larger drawback than 2351. 151. 11d.; a sum which covers the whole of the officers' sala ries, together with the cost of printing, and every other incidental expense. During the year /854, 2,0371. has been applied in monthly pay ments to aged musicians, widows and orphans; 3411. in temporary relief and funerals; 1731. in premiums with apprentices and in the education of children; and 371. in benefactions to aged claimants, and to indigent musicians, widows, &c., having no claim on the institution. At present, there are on the list of claimants supported by the society, 11 members, 45 widows, and 27 children ; and there are 13 boys and girls who have been ap prenticed to respectable trades or callings, with each of whom 251. premium has been paid. The society has real and funded property, which produces 1,8331. per annum ; the rest of its resources being derived from the subscriptions and donations of its patrons and friends, and the contri butions of the members. The list of benefactions is interesting, as showing the munificent spirit of many celebrated members ot the profession. Among other historical names we find that of Handel, one of the original members, who bequeathed to the society 1,0001.; Signora Storace, 1.0001; and Crosedill, the great violoncellist, 1,0001. The Royal Family, dur ing the whole existence of the society, including her present Majesty and Prince Albert, have been liberal benefactors. At the present day the beneficent spirit of individuals belonging to or connected with the musical profession has not decayed. We find the house of Broadwood as donors to an amount ex ceeding 1,0001. 1501. (the proceeds of a concert) was given by Jenny Lind; 751. was given in the same manner by Herr Ernst ; and it gives us pleasure to observe that the most eminent foreigners resident among us have not been lees liberal benefactors to the society than our own countrymen. At the anniversary meeting the chair was occupied by the Lord Mayor, who wan supported by the two sheriffs, Mr. M uggeridge and Mr. Crosley. The com pany was large, and the most eminent musicians now in London were present. There was, as usual, a varied and agreeable entertainment of vocal and instrumental music. Herr Ernst played most exquisitely his celebrated Hungarian airs ; end, litring rapturously apptauoeo, also gratified the com pany with his not less celebrated Carnival of Venice. Mr. Cusins, one of the most accomplished young pianists of the day, performed Mendelssohn's beau tiful " Andante and Rondo Capricioao" with masterly execution, and with a grace and expression which delighted the company. Among the vocal pieces was Purcell's famous " Britons, strike home," sung by Messrs. King and Lawler, with • chorus. It was performed with great fire, and received with enthusiasm. Mr. M'Murdie's fine four-part glee, "By the dark-rolling waters," was one of the moat successful performances of the evening. Several sirs and duets were sung by Madame Weiss, Madame Newton Frodsham, Miss ltansford, Mr. Benson, and Mr. Weiss. Before the meeting broke up, a long list of subscriptions received in the course of the I evening was read, headed by the name of the Lord Mayor for ten guineas, and those of the sheriffs for I five guineas each; the whole amounting to a consi derable sum.

A report wee read by the secretary of the committee appointed at the lest meeting, which stated that though additional alterations had been made in clauses 100 and 105 relating to gas and water supply, the same were not sullcient, and the committee therefore recommended a decided opposition to the bill as it now stands. The report was adopted, and, after passing various resolutions, the meeting separated.

The nature of the Nil indicates the salubrity of the site Detested. It has also the historical prestige of being contiguous to the spot whereon was COMM'S camp. The contract bus been taken by Mr. G.

FILIDAT After showing an Improving appearance during a portion of the morning, the English stock market became heavy this afternoon, and closed to 1 per cent. lower than yesterday, owing chiefly to simu lative sales, partly on continental account. A lees favourable impression appeared to prevail with regard to the Vienna Conferences, and to the future policy of Austria. Statements from Paris that the Emperor persists in his intention to visit the Crimea had also some effect. The market has been chiefly supported by the withdrawal this week of a large amount of stair, estimated at 300,0001. or 400,0001., on banking and other accounts. In conscquence money is very abundant in the Stock Exchange, and may be ob tained at the low rate of 21 to 3 per cent. on govern ment securities. Sonic uneasiness seems to have been excited by the fact that, since the death of the Emperor Nicholas, there has been an absence of the usual telegraphic despatches from St. Petersburg. The discount market is easy, the various Lombard street establishments being well supplied with money. Accommodation can be obtained on first-class paper at a slight reduction from the Bank of England's minimum charge of 5 per oenL At Paris to-day the French funds closed much the same as yesterday. The Vienna bourse continues to present an unfavourable appearance. The Austrian funds are declining, and the exchange on London bas advanced to 12.18. At Amsterdam prices are also generally lower. Consols opened at 93 to 1 for the 11th April, advanced to 934, and had receded at 4 o'clock to 921 to 93. Subsequently the quotation was 93 exactly. For money the 4 o'clock price was 921 to t. The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 921, 93, 921, 931, 1, 921 ; ditto, for account, 11th April, 93, 931, 1, 93. Three per Cents. Reduced (shut), 931, 921. New Threo per Cents. (shut), 93;,1. Bank Stock (shut), 215. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in 1859, 991. Owing to the more easy position of the money market, the Jane Exchequer Bills advanced ls., closing at 6s. to 911. prem. India Bonds ruled at lls. to 11s. prem. The foreign stock market was very inactive, with the chief transactions in Turkish, which closed at 791 to 1, or about 1 per cent. lower than yesterday. Other stocks present no material alteration. The corn market to-day was rather firmer. The Admiral was telegraphed to-day as having arrived off Falmouth from Port Phillip, whence she sailed on the 11th December. Her accounts are con sequently about five days later than those previously to hand. The amount of gold brought in by this vessel remains to be ascertained. ' The foreign exchanges maintain their more favour able appearance, and in some cases this afternoon the tendency was still upwards. The chief transac tions were on Hamburg as high as 13.61; Amster dam at 11.161 to ; Paris, at 25.371 to 40 for 3 months, and 25.15 for short bills; Frankfort, at 1181 to ; St. Petersburg, at 351 to f,; and Vienna and Trieste, at 12.35 to 45. The transactions were limited. Commercial letters from St. Petersburg, dated the let inst., quote the exchange on Loudon at 36 3-16 d. 200 casks of tallow had been done at 117, on the spot. There were sellers for August at 112.101 cash. The tallow market was rather firmer yesterday afternoon, and to-day a °further improvement took place. The closing quotations were, Petersburg Y. C. on the spot, new, 605.; old, 485.; March, 495. 3d. ; April, 495. 9d. The panic caused in the market by the death of the Czar is passing off. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 15th inst. for the hire of good coppered ships of from 500 to 800 tons each, to be employed as horse transports for four months certain. The Emigration Commissioners will receive ten ders on the 16th inst. for the hire of a ship, to pro ceed to Adelaide, and to be ready to receive passen gers between the 26th of April and the 4th of May. At a meeting of a number of shareholders of the South Eastern Railway Company, held at Manchester two or three days ago, resolutions were passed pledging the meeting to oppose the election as direc tors of those gentlemen " who have merely purchased stock during the present year of sufficient amount to give them a qualification, and to support the can didature of Messrs.

Australian Royal Mail !Steam shares have been dealt in at 3; to 3,1 ; General Screw Steam at 141 to ; and Peninsular and Ori ental at 68. The subjoined weekly summary of the produce markets is extracted from the circular of Messrs. W. J. and H. Thompson : The transactions in the produce markets have been limited, owing to the small quantity of goods on offer. The sugar sold has been at full rates, but some importers have held for an advance. There has been a speculative demand for the native kind of Ceylon coffee, which has risen fully le. per cwt., and there are not now any sellers at 47.. per cwt. ; very little Plantation has bees brought for ward, and the tales show a rise of le. per cwt. Saltpetre has met with full purchasers at higher quotations. Rice has declined 3d. to 6d. per cwt. There has been a good in quiry fer tea, and some of the new arrival have brought fair prices.

On the other side of the account : Government seetuitits increase Other esenrities increase .. 86,923 490,360 146,208 Coin and bullion increase . , Total The chief change here exhibited is the increase of nearly half a million in the private securities, caused by the demand for money incidental to the 4th of the month. The continued increase in the bullion is satisfactory.

DEPUTATION TO TIIE BOARD OP TRADE. A deputation from the General Shipowners' So ciety, comprising Mr. G. F. Young, Mr. Anthony Ridley, Mr. Wm. Phillippe, Mr. G. Marshall, Mr. Wm. Bona! (secretary), with Mr. Henry 11. Willis, bad an interview yesterday with Lord Stanley of Alderley, the President of the Board of Trade, at the Board of Trade, Whitehall, ott the subject of the Passenger Amendment Bill, which had been introduced in the House of Commons last January by Viscount Palmerston and Mr. F. Peel. The deputation represented that the shipowners were ex posed toe continual alteration in the law, and they submitted that it would be better to leave the last act undisturbed, and allow it to work. The new bill was filled with new pains and penalties, increasing the liability of owners considerably, adding to tho expenses of the ship without giving any corre sponding advantages, and altogether its clauses were of such a strict and opprebeive character, that, if persevered in, would have the effect of driving many of the most respect able owners out of the trade. The deputation trusted that the government would not proceed with the measure until the shipowners had an opportunity of going over the bill with the Emigration Commissioners, pointing out the ob jectionable and unnecessary parts, and generally to fully consider the wholo scheme. It was submitted that there was no reasonable ground for introducing any new measure on the subject ; and the arbitrary character of the clauses of the proposed bill was explained. If • captain should, by any unfortunate omission, fail to procure • certificate, the ship would not only be liable to forfeiture, but the owner to a penalty of 5001. Again, if provisions were not distributed by two o'clock, which might be p ted by a hurricane, a penalty of 501. could be imposed. As much as 5,0001. might be enforced on the owner, according to the power sought to be estab lished in the bill. The former one was considered to be rather severe, but this one was much more so. Under those circum stances the deputation asked that the measure ' - nersevered in until the shinnben— - - might not be persevered in until the shipowners had had full opportunity of expressing their objections to it. The President of the Board of Trade said he would give the measure, and what had transpired, his best considera tion; and he might say that the bill would not be pushed forward until the shipowners had ample opportunity of en peening their opinions with regard to it. The deputation then withdrew. THE CIVIL SERVICE.—Mr. M. H. Foster, senior clerk at the Paymaster-Generars office, Whitehall, has been appointed to the new office of accountant to the Treasury. Mr. T.
