The tenth annual public meeting of the Araocia ties for Promotiag the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledge, the tame is questiou being the earise duties chargeable on paper, W 44 bell yesterday evening at the Whit.ington Club. Mr. William Ewart, Y.Y., mended. The room in which the meeting was held was crowded, mid there was a large muster of the opponents of the tax on the platform. The Chairman, in opening the proceedings, adverting to the decision of the Howie of Commons last emeiou that the duty should be repealed and the rejection of the mesa. stare by the Home of Lords, said that he was Dot anxious to re vive the quern/ between the two bowies of the legislature, but they bed now assembled to take up &defensive attitude. The duty on paper was oat of those excise duties which still lin gered on although it had been so frequently condemned. He trusted the time would soon oome when, noble lords both apuituel and temporal—and hem he was reminded that fourteen bishop bed declared is favour of the abolition of the paper duties—would yield to the popular conviction on this question. He believed the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was hard preened at the time, hot he had declared that if one duty more than soother required to be repealed it sue the duty no paper. Mr. G. A. Sala, in moving the OM resolution, said be had heard with some pain • statement that the bleary elms wee mimed to the repeal of the paper duties, but es • hardworking author be meld declare ea his own pert. sad he Marred an behalf of Me bretierso. UMW they would be mash bew ailed a repeal of the paper duties, end that they were set apellishe we indifferent on the subject. He trusted the sisterhil eamdities of authors would be mush improved by the sholitlim of this tax. He ccesclnied by moving the excise oa paper, the only remainieg tax no the mineral of manufacture has bees combrosned by the House of Chmusom and the exesniisegoveremeet as obstrixtive he the diffueko of knowledge esd injurious to the industry dr the rewihry, sad this exam ought, therefore, to be shollehod Were say other rendmies ef taxation is effected.

CITY OP LONDON HOSPITAL rot DISEASES oir Lest night the thirteenth anniversary of this very useful clarity was celebrated at the Loudon Tavern, under the preside:l:y of Mr. H. E. Grimm The company was numerous, amounting to Dearly 200 petwo. , and in cluded Mr. Alderman sad Sheriff Abbiss, Mr. Sheriff Lusk, Sir J. Paxton, M.P., Mr. Alderman Mr. H. Tucker, Mr. R. Thoreton, Mr. A. Cihh, Mr. J. Williams, Mr. J. G. Frith, Dr. Benoett, Dr. Birkett, Dr. Edwards, Ac. After the usual loyal and constitutional touts, The CHAIRMAN proposed the taist.f the evening—" Prow penty to the City of London liospitel for Insanes of, the Cheat." The benefit conferred by thi s h os pit a l on th e poor was beat proved by the increase in the number of pithier relieved through its means. There was no other hospital which could show such an increase of patient. received and relieved. Every subscriber to the hospital must Loewe*. off the great number of applicants for tickets—whether es ia or out patients. There was another inatitutiou at the other end of the tows similar to this, but that charity was situ.- ted in the centre of aristocracy anal wealth, whilst the has- ' pital whom claims he was advocating was situated in the centre of poverty sad wretchedness. (Hear, hear.) I%st however we. it. claim, and he hoped he shou ld not appeal in vain on its behalf to the merchant, of this great city. They felt grateful for the support hitherto teceivel, bat they had to come before the friends of the hospital again with the story of the lialaece being at the wrong snle of the amount, and he hoped that they should succeed in the ap psl that was now made. The amount of benefit conferred y the hospital was a. follows :—lmpotientri relieved last year, 31111; ditto from opening of the ward la lOW to the pre sent time, 1,700; out-patients relieved last year, 7,722; ditto frees opening of the institution in 1848 to the present time, 64,260 • present weekly attendee*. of outpatients, upwards cif 1 .100. The whole of the wards were now open sod every bed occupied. The cost of maiutainiug the chanty amounted to nearly 5,0001., but the annual subscriptions amounted to only about 1,550 f. To meet priming liabilities a Wand 1.500/. had been obtained from the bankers, and to pay off this debt and provide for the maintenance of the establishment during the current year a sum of 4,5001. was now required. He appealol to them on the present occasion to help them out of the mesa they were in. Let them go to work with goal heart, and .how by the liberality of their subecriptions that they were satisfied with the good which had already been accomplished. (llear, hear.) He might state that the workmen of Truman's brewery bad contributed by penny weekly subscriptions 631. to the hospital. He hoped that the workmen of the other establishments in the City would follow so good an example. This fact alone showed the value of the charity, and fie was sure he need say no more to ensure a hearty response to the toast. (Cheers.) Mritheriff Luau proposed the " Health of the Chairman," and mentioned in oounexion therewith that he had con tributed the munificent sum of 3,5001. towards the support of the charity since its commencement. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. The other toasts of Ow evening were "The President, Vice-Presidents, Trimmer," kc., of the institution, pro posed by Sir J. PAXTON and responded to by Mr. TUCKER ; " The Corporation of the City," proposed by Mr. Tuostrrog and responded to by Al&rman ; "The Medical Officers ;" "The Stewards," and "Ladino" The subscrip tions amounted to 4,0001., including 2001. from the chair- Mon. The musical erranprnente were conducted by Mr. Freed., and were eMeiently carried out by the Misses Wells, Mr. Berman, and Mr. LaMar,. Mr. Harker soled it tristammer. *OPAL LITERARY ?VND.

The Csureitats, in proposing a vote of thanks to the re gistrar; treasurers, and auditors, congratulated the society upon its present prosperous condition, and also on North' been able to transfer their offices from Bloomsbury-square to their present locality, by which a considerable saving had been effected, and which, he trusted, would give es evidence to all persons whoever bad say doubt in the matter, that on the first possible opportunity the executive of the society was ready to avail itself of any means that offered of conducting their affairs with increased economy and effi ciency. Certain repairs and alterations detenuined upon by the Pharmaceutical Society, at the Blooms bury.epare House, which were quite incompatible with the comfort of the mock!, and its offi cer% pve the council au opportunity of terminating the tenancy, and reducing the permanent annual expeudi tura for rent, attendance, and other charges, from 1901. to 1101., thus effecting a clear saving of something like AUL a year. An expenditure of 1101. a year he thought it would be admitted waa about as low a figure as their operations could be othiducted at, considering the efficiency and conti nual ardour with which their of were managed. Yr. 0141311 Li seconded the motion, which was unani mously agreed to. Sir Qualm BEASLEY reminded the meeting of the op position led by Mr. Dickens and Mr. Dille as to the mea ner in which the funds of the society were administered. He (Sir Charles Beasley) was one of those who concurred in that opposition, but he was happy to hear that them differences so longer existed, and he wee very much de lighted with the proof the committee had given of their desire to conduct the business in a most economical manner, which was at first doubted by the members of the opposition, but now they were all unanimous, and he was very glad that it was so. (Hear, hear.) The election of officers was then proceeded with, and the ballot resulted in the reappointment of the president, vioalneideass, council, general committee, regis trars, treasurers, and auditors. Lord Palmerston and Sir Roderick Murchison were elected to vacant vice-presidentships ; the vacancies)? the commit were Wed up by the eleacia d Lord Jobs Manners, XX., Rrr.Dr.Wheerell, troller. Arthur Penrhysi Stanley, D.D. ; the Hen. Charism Angoras Murray, Sir Archibald Alison, Dart., D.C.L. sad Professor Owen was appointed to the (emend sonimittes.

The CUAIIIIAN announced that his Royal Highness the Dube D'Aurtude had consented to preside at the miniver mars festival on the 15th of May. A vote of thanks to the Chairman brought the prossed logs to s close. THE LA's CAPTAIN BOYD. A meeting of naval oilkera and friends of the late Captain Boyd, R.N., took place yestrday. at the o ffi ce of the Society for Establishing Sailors Homes, 3, Duke. street, Adolphi. Among those present were General Waters, Admiral Deacon, Captain Onunaney, Captain rotniC .B. , Captain Sullivan, C. 8., Captain Hall. Kellett, Inc. Admiral Sir Barton Macnamara, who presided, said that • better or more efficient °Misr than the late Captain Boyd never existed. Admiral Domes proposed the following resolution :—" That this inset* withal to testify their admiration of the noble attempts et the late Captain Boyd, of her liajesty , :s g : g hl Ajar. sod thew who perished with him, whist • In the glorious and humus work of saving the lives of their fellow creatures, and to offer their sincere sympathy and imedoleoes to his bereaved widow and family, and to krt ride a testimonial is messoriess to him and them." rain Hall, in seconding the resolution, said that he had .' ; ' re good fortune to serve at three different stations with Cap- WO Boyd, and he did nos know • man who greater seal in the public service than that unfortunate gentleman. In one of those stations—the Baltic— they cap tured a small towel, which Captain Boyd immediately con- verted into • gunboat in his anxiety to get at the enemy, sod met • ball into Cronstadt from it. The resolution having bees enanimoualy carried, Commodore Kellett pro posed that • committee 'be appointed to carry out the object of the foregoing resolution. The resolution was seconded by Captain Sullivan and carried. Several naval eaters expressed their regret at the untimely tale of Captain Boyd, sod Metaled their admiration of his services in the most cordial manner. The proceedings terndtated with a voted thanks to the chairman. The committee of the — Boyd Testimonial in Dublin have recommended that the sum of 1001. should be devoted to the erection of a monument on the spot where Captain Boyd and hie sailors lost their laves, W. for a tablet in St. Patrick', Cathedral, and rd. far grave stenos in the Monte. town churchyard, where the sailors am buried. They also recommend the erection of • Boyd Marine Charity at HIOIIIiOWIL Others who are hat acquainted with the wishes of Captain Boyd's family oh , to the IMAM asylum, oa the wend that it is the .ones of the Case to erect such en institution ; that it could not be permanent without • national endowment ; and that, not beingper manent, it would not be an appropriate memorial. 'They would decidedly prefer a statue in St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The hones were as usual called to the post by the Earl of Sefton, who speedily marshalled them "the wa they should go." Only once was the rank thrown into disorder, but the impatient ones were soon brought back, and at ten minutes to four—a quarter of an hour after the amnnted time—the flag was dropped, and the race commend& The Dane and Xanthus rushed to the frost, and showed the way over the first obstacle—a ditch, faced by poste and rails. Here, however, the chapter of accidents thus early com mented, for Kibworth Lass, Minitel, and Lotgrange re fused, and were not coaxed over the fence until the leaders had got far ahead, Xanthus oarryiug his colours to the fore. On entering the ploughed laud, The Dane, Jealousy, Cock. atoo, Bridegroom, and Redwing being next in pursuit, with Master Begot in the middle of the ruck. The last men tioned animal, however, came to grief on approaching the canal silly and took no further part in the race. On enter ing the racecoutee, Jealousy deprived her stable coot. Xantbus, of the lead, Bridegroom going on third, with Cockatoo fourth ; the others, with the exception of Dr. Leete and Brother to Lady's Maid, who were a lung way in the rear, lying pretty well together. Very little change occurred in these positions until after re-entering the race course, when Xanthus again went ahead, his immediate followers being Brunette, Jealousy, Antis, Cockatoo, The Dane, and Old Ben Roe. On they went through the starting field to the ditch, just before reaching the ploughed land, where Cockatoo, Dr. Leete, Irish Emigrant and the Rover fell, and Auntie blundered, and her jockey was sent from his saddle on to her neck. Before he recovered himself the leading horses were quite a field in advance, and on approaching the nee course for the last time, Jealousy. The Dane, Redwing, Old Ben Roe, and Bridegroom only were left in the race. Jealousy led over the last flight of hurdles, and, maintaining her advantage to the end, won b two lengths, the second besting the third by the same dievne., Bridegroom was a bad fourth, Xanthus, Redwing, and Diamant, were next. Tat HANDICAP PLAIT of 40 ton. Three furlongs. Mr. H are's Hartley Whitney, 4 yrs, est 1 0► I0 0 1 Mr. Barber's Potty Peachura, 6 yrs, 7st Captain Cluistle's Queen Bee, 4 yrs, 7st 41b Rain, sleet, and snow effectually militated against the success of the opening day, diminishing the atteWaso., and destroying all interest in the sport. The few pleasure folk —save the mark—who braved the inclement weather, pro. pounced the proceedings " slow " and tedious, and huddled ititewider the shelter of drinking booths, indifferent r the racier; and to the miserable plight iu which the Jockeys "returned to the scale." The police on duty found no employment., but were compelled to kick their heels about the sodden grass in a state of dreary do-nothingness quite dispiriting to behold. No one attempted to cross the course after the sedillingliell had been rung, and no one at tempted to set their authority at defiance. The dulness and want of opera which charecterised the " outsiders " pervaded the professional speculators, who pursued their calling under the portico of the Grand Stand with a lack of spirit which was as remarkable as it is rare. Ever and anon, however, the heavy leadembued clouds would mll away, and the sun would shine forth cheerily, bring ing the spectators from their lurking places, end imparting a momentary gaiety to the scene. But the lucid intervals were of brief duration, and the 7 who ventured to Aintree were not sorry when the day's proceedings were brought to • close. The sport disappointed expectation—the fields were com paratively insignificant, and the encounters were, for the most part, devoid of prospective importance. The Trial Stake', es Tuesday, was the first event us the card, but it did sot produce a race, end business commenced in earnest with the Aintree plates, for which Hartley Whitney was made the favounte. He, however, proved unworthy of coofi.lence g • and Tyrant, the next in demand, woo cleverly bf•ltellt. The prineipd race of Tunday was unexpectedly shorn of he fair proportions by "scratching," at the last moment. Ceps, oa the strength of her Nottingham running, and the form exhibited by her stable companion, Tyrnitt, for the Aintree Plate, was rustle a great favourite. Her party did not miscalculate her chance, for she won cleverly, the some time favourite, North Lancashire, taking no prominent part in the race. . . The weather yesterday presentel a mod agreeable contrast to that of Tmaday. The sun shone cheerily, and the course was thronged with pleasure folk. A more animated mid pic turesque-scene could not well be imagined. The Grand Stand and enclosure were crowded, and in the vicinity of the most important leaps were crowds of exerted epectetone. Men and boys swarmed into the trees, sad not a " coigne of 'vantage' from which a view of the steeplechase maid be commended was left unoccupied. The betting at the dose wan limited principally to the first tour favourites. Jea lousy and Acetic were eepported with much spirit, and it would be difficult to determine which had the " call' when the ring broke up. The description of the ram, which is gives elsewhere, requires few corn mesa It will be seen that the accidents were man , bat Jealousy fortunately encountered neither let nor h in any part of the race. She won very cleverly. Her owner, it is said, wins upwards of 6,00.11. Muter Begot wan esaily diapered of, and Anatis met with a disappoint west which plated her hors de roatbed before going round the enures the second time. We regret to state that Sly, the rider of Irish Emigrant, and Mason, the rider of Dr. Leste were much injured by their fall. UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

The Marlborou:4ll, 131, '.craw, Captain W. H. Stewart, C. 8., came into harbour this afternoon to pay off and refit. In the event of the ship'. requiring more repairs than are at present calculated on, the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, will, it is understood, be gut ready to take the flag of Admiral W. P. Martin. The north-wed gale which prevailed with great violence in this locality on Sunday, Ilooduy, and Tuesday, has abated to-day, and many of the ressrls which sought shelter on this side the Isle of Wight hole resumed their voyages. Two accidents, neither of them, however, of a serous nature, are reported. Yesterd.y a waterman's boat laden with ward-room stores, proceeded to the Marlborough then lying at Spithead, and on lowering sail the men attempted to book the line fined out from the ship for that purpose. but failed. Their boat drifted with the force of the wind, and came ineonlict with a bumboat also attending on the chip. Two or mine planks of the wstermen's boat were stove in, and she sank, carrying with her the stores. Happily no lives were lost.

THZ 8111112 IN THE BUILDING TRADTI4 AT EDIN SURGIL—We are glad to learn that arrangements are now in progress for a conference between representatives et the Mater beilders and the most important section of the operative builders in the city of Edinburgh—the masons— to consider the best means of bringing the present no plesaant contest to en end. The first overture, as was for merly mentioned, came from the Operative Masons' Society on Monday, and on Tuesday the committee of the Matters' Association sent to request that the proposal should be made officially and in writing. Acoordingly, an authorised DOW was despatched by the chairman of the operative masons to the secretary of the Masons Association intimating that the operatives would be happy to appoint two of their number "to coder with a deputation of two members from the Mutere Association to see whether an amicable arrangement of the present dispute might not be arrived at.' On Tuesday night an answer was returned by Mr. Nisbet, the secretary of the Muter.' Association, to the effect that he had communicated their proposal to the chair man of the committee, " who would bring the matter be fore a full meeting of the directors on Friday, when he (the chairman) had no doubt that a deputation would he ap pointed" to meet with a similar deputation from the ope ratives. A. number of the mamas who were to have left the city yesterday in search of employment elsewhere have remained to await the result of the present negotiations, which it is to be hoped may be successful. TUFTS-OUT OP COTTON SPINNIRN AT BOLTON.— On Tuesday night,a special general meeting of the operative cotton spinners, and self-acting minders, of Bolton and the neighbourhood, was held for the purpose of hearing from the delegates the answers of the masters to the memorial requestiug them to adopt short time in preference to their contemplated reduction of wages. Upwards of 102 mills were represented, and Mr. Robert Chadwick was called to the chair. The replies from the masters to the memorial were generally a refusal to depart from their notice to reduce wages—the associated masters having so resolved at the meeting on Monday eight. It was stated that there are 47 mills where the hands have not received notice ; and 64 where notices have been given ; and the masters are resolved to reduce wave. The spinners em ployed in the latter comprise at least three-fourths of the hands. The meeting finally decided that the spinners should leave work on the expiration of the noticea THE BLACILIBUTIN WITAVZILIA—Great uncertainty sad mush anxiety prevail in Blackburn and the district, respecting the dispute between the weavers and their em ployers. In acconlance with the resolution, to which about SO arms appended their names on Thursday week, notices were given in th e various mills which these firms repre sented, requiring their operatives in the weaving depart ments to cease work in 14 days, and these notices expire to morrow. The object of this resolution was to get all the operatives to resume work, and this object has been success ful in Blackburn and the out-districts, with the exception of Derma, where work has been only partially' resumed. The question then cornea must Bleekburu and the other districts where work has been resumed be locked out, in order that that those still out at Darwen may be compelled to go in? This must bs, or the masters must depart from their bond, sod support the Darwen masters whom hands are out. But this they will not do, if Blackburn and the other districts which are out must support the Darwen operatives. The masters were to inset yesterday afternoon, to consider the 1 question, and the result is looked forward to with much anxiety by all classes. One thing is certain, that trade is not such as at present to induce masters to yield much, amid it is a pity that the operatives in the whole district did nut resume work, as is that case the dispute would now be I at an end.
