W. ysn raised on the plea of the French Corps d'lnlirmiere, have yet arrived in the Crimea, and the hospital attendants still consist of soldiers selected from the ranks. It would be carious to obtain a Morn showing the nature and variety of the duties for which men in the British army are liable to be taken away from the purely military duties of their r egiments, and the amount of pay givea in each situation and employment. (egos • lIFSCILL COIIIIII3FONDIXT OF TIM DAILY =WV KeDIXOI, MAY 19. We know at lilt what the Crimean summer will be like. Yeeterdsy was the. bettest day we have yet had, and it has convinced every one that if the power of the sun goes on increasing from this to the dog days, we shall be roasted as effectually as if the rams wore carried out over the coals of a living fi l e. From four o'clock in the morning till seven at might the sun burned with an intensity which sur prised even those who have had the benefit of a sun routing in Bulgaria. Oar new cavalry, fresh from , India, paid a just tribute to the ardour of the Crimean sun and its very respectable heat. We can now fully understand that a couple of months of this scorching, parching glare, must dry up the springs and sear the plains in the interior of the country, and as, up to the present, it is doubtful whether or not we are to have a spring campaign, we can just form a faint idea of what a summer campaign will be like. In the last few days not even the usual amount of slack cannonading has happened on the Se bastopol front. No movement ham taken place on the Balaklava front. The Sardinians have not occupied the site of the Turkish batteries of October, 183-1, and nothing points to the probability of their doing so in a hurry. Five of their regi ments —three of infantry and two of rifles—have marched up to their encampment in our rear. They are generally admired. The dress and accoutrements are excellent—good, serviceable, and neat ; and from the rtseute and s3idierlike appearance of the men sod officers, we form the meat favourable anticipa tions of their future conduct. It is supposed that they will shortly leave their camp at Karam and take up a position in the firer lines of the Bala klava front. The Turks that were encamped in that posi tion have struck their tents, and marched up to join the mais body of their contingent in the encamp ments near the French aod English head-quarters— that is to sty, in the rear of both the Sebsropol and Balaklava front. The Sardinians are expected to occupy the poeiiion vacated by the Turks, and moat asseredly they will be more agreeable and pleasant neighbours than the latter. I speak here of the Turks that in October last came from Stamboul ; those left here by Omer Pacha are troops of a dif fereot stamp, though they, too, are likely to fall into discredit on account of their begging. The sanitary state of the army is most satisfactory. I know that a contrary opinion prevails in some guar ten, because there are cases of sudden deaths from malignant fever and cholera. But I look rather to the numbers of the sick and dead than to their diseases; and alive, as you have always found me, to the causes of epidemics, I am not to be frightened by isolated cases. Fever there is, and cholera there is, but the cases are exceptional ; and, for the present, there is not much danger of any of these diseases spreading over the camps. The fresh draughts ot Guards—who are certainly in the most unfavourable locality—had, a few days ago, thirty men in hospital, and most of them suffering from European, rather than from Crimean, complaints. The troops in front, who are hard worked, suffer more even from disease; but their casualties from fever and cholera are not above what might be expected, under the circum stances. There is no saying what the heat of the sun and the summer will bring forth is this vast graveyard of men and horses. Nor, in the ous of an army, is it right to say :"sufficient for the day is the evil thereof ;" since provision must be made for months to come. Let as hope that those who have all the power may, in this instance, have all the wisdom required to avert the evils which many pro fess to foresee. The Guards' division have hit upon an excellent plan to save the soldiers' purses—to keep them in camp beyond the reach of temptation from ardent drink, and to provide them with good and wholesome com forts and luxuries. Each of the battalions has esta blished a canteen for the sale of all the articles for which the men would otherwise have to go to islaklaya or the Kadikui bazaar. One of the officers ▪ each battalion has undertaken to act as pur veyor of stores, which he purchases wholesale, and which a sergeant, established in the canteen, retails to the men, of course at cost price. It is quite sato. Waking to hear of the quantities of camp luxuries lOU these regimental canteens; and the teetotallers Sling your readers will be glad to learn that 1111Miesde is one of the chief articles in demand. The bipsdients are bought, and the lemonade is made "el the premises." Another article ot general coo ehseption is the bread baked by the private bakers at Siiiklava, which, it appears, is found vastly pre fisaible to the ration bread imported from Stamboul al Yarn'. That ration bread is eatable, but not 11111Seable to eat. It is always stale and sometimes , =tidy, and the soldiers prefer spending their money boyiog a better sort of bread than the commie's- Hater* able to procure for them. All the regiments io the Balaklava front are turned out every morning and evening to drill in the plain. Two days ago the Guards' division, in the course of their marching , and countermarchings, proceeded close up to the hills occupied by the Russians, and, intentionally or unintentionally, made a reconnais sance. For, as they could with perfect impunity advance to within gunshot range of the hills, it is evident that the Russians have sot as yet any guns in position in the earthworks they are constructing, else our enemies would never have missed the opportu nity of firing a couple of round shots at the dense co lumns of the Guards. As the battalions were re turning some Cossacks ventured into the plain to in spect their retreat, and a couple of shells were thrown by our batteries. DISPATCH FROM LORD RAGLAN. TO 2111 OILUTTI OP TUESDAY. War Department, May 30. Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch and its enclosure', of which the following are copies, ad dressed to his lordship by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, 0,.C.8.: Before Sebastopol, May 19. My Lord,—l do myself the honour to inclose the list of casualties that occurred between the 14th and 17th instant. For the last two days there has been hardly any firing on either side; large convoys have come into Sebastopol from the northern side, but there has been no movement of importance. The haat has been very oppressive since %does day. I deeply regret to have to report that I have just received a letter from General Osten Beckon, in an swer to an inquiry I addressed to him on the subject, informing me that Capt. Arnold, of the 4th Regiment of Foot, who was wounded and taken prisoner on the night of the sth, died on that same night. I have, &c. RAGLAN. The Lord Pena:are, &c. &c. - *salsa: ris.V.

The disappearanm of the Vienna illusion is telling upon Russian credit at home. The Hunks" Corre spoodoot contains a letter from Warsaw of the 23rd, which says:—" The very slight hopes entertained of the re-establishment of peace have been very disad vantageous to the quotations of the Russian loan of 60 millions. Yesterday it fell from 92 to 91,*and to-day it is still lower, without finding pantheism." AUSTRIA. Baron de Protesch-Osten, who was the colleague of Count Buol in the Vienna conferences, has drawn up a memorandum in which he explains the situa tion of the various powers with respect to the Euro ' peso crisis. Under date May 14 Count Buol has addressed the Austrian Plenipotentiaries at German courts to the following effect: The decision of the British government to present to per liaises% the protocols of the Vienna conferences, makes Wake the negotiations for peace at a moment whoa thrry smut be regarded as termisated. At the end of the protocol of the twelfth sitting of the conference, Austria declared that she did not regard Leery means exhausted to bring the negotiations upon the third point to • solution, and that she regarded it as her special mission to end to dissever the means for effecting • common agreement. The Plenipotentiaries of France and Ragland, on their pert, it is true, declared that their instructions were ex hausted, but did not declare the negotiations terminated, and when later, by protocol No. 13, the rejection of • proposal enmities from Russia was stated, Austria re solved to recommend confidentially to the serious considera tion of the courts of Paris and of London new propositions, in which she thought to fled a loyal and complete fulfilment of the third point of guarantee, and which his Msjesty the Emperor, our august master, deems proper to be presented to the St. Petersburg cabiaet as an trifinentwes. The last protocols of the conference left the negotiations still pend ing, and the Austrian eabinet, for its part, would have he. *hated at leaving that reserve which the ease commanded, and which in the interest of an object so important for all it had imposed upon itself. The notification made in the British parliament of Vie publication of the protocols made it incumbent upon u to have them published likewise, so as to bring them to the knowledge of the Governments of Germany, and you an mauled to present the accompany ing documents, with • copy of this letter, to the Govern ment to which you are accredited. As we mike this com munication before the result of the still pending negotia tions can be stated, we can only do so with that reserve whieh the attainment of the object commands. As yet we do not express any opinion upon the situation of affairs. Shortly, however, we may be in a condition to explain our views fully to the Diet—views upon which the reply of the Cabinets of Paris and of London to the proposals alluded to above cannot Gil to exercise some influents. I am, &a., BooL. THE MED] MALTA, MAT 24. The Niagara arrived the night before last, with horses and drafts, and proceeded yesterday. The steamer Black Prince arrived from Constantinople.

We have a report brought by the City of Aberdeen that on ;the night of the 11th the Ranker a made • sortie, in which, it is said, they lost 3,000; but this is supposed to be an exaggerated account of our former news of the sortie of the 11th.

A correspondent in the East writes :—" A very yoeog and pleasing Russia. dicer wee lately made primmer by the English, and by hie engaging mason very soon I became a great favourite. He is very sersomplished, appear to have a Rood supply of sash, and with great dexterity avails himself of every opportunity to Satter the English ; at the suns time he cleverly takes every chance of umlaut ing something or other derogatory to the French; sad evi dently does all in his power to create a bad feeling between the allies ; and with some skill shows what wonder they would do as allies, assuring hie amnion that the Russians, to a man, an fond of the Baldish. This gentleman has bees nut to England. I have heard of several other pri soners who have anal nearly the same. It hes often struck me when is company with this sort of Russian prisoners, that they have bees seat Wooten intentionally by the Res. Maas for the purpose of mating a party is their favour is England." (7111011 TUN FRANCE. OP TIM DAILY waves.) PARIS, TuasoAT KIPPING. An article in the Colutitutiontsel by M. Oranier de Cassapiac may be safely interpreted as a semi-official renunciation of all hope of Austria as an active ally. The significant heading of the article is "Peace through others or through ourselves." The Consti bilionnel has many timekdurinethe last twelvemonths demonstrated the immense utility of the Austrian alliance, and has as often affirmed that the alliance would certainly become operative. But now that the grapes are sour, it accommodates itself with a ped grace to altered circumeanors, and proves very satisfactorily, by the pen of M. de Cassagnac, that we us much better without Austria than with her. The military co-operation of Austria would, says the Oresstitsdieresel, be undoubtedly the shortest way to a peso, uses specially if it carried with it that of the entire Germanic confederation. It is certain that if beds, with the Crimea invaded, the Danu bian province occupied, Bessarabia threatened, and St. Petersburg itself blockaded by the allied fleets, were to find besides a hostile army of 600,000 men on her southern and eastern frontiers, she would speedily conclude a peace for which she loop as it is, although she tries her best to make a hard bargain. But then the Constitutionnel, speaking according to the new light which has sud denly burst upon its councils, looks upon this short cut to race as nothing worth, except in the eyes of short-sighted egotists, impatient persons, and men who have bills coming due at a short date. But the real golden road to peace, the road which, although perhaps a little, but after all not much longer, is quite as sure, is this: After having Immolated the demolition of Sebastopol by cannon abet, to muolish ourselves solidly on all the plots wooled ; to occupy others also, if masonry ; one" installed in the enemy's country, to keep gaud in the Black Sea and the ma of A:off with a flotilla and several steam (tiptoe ; to despatch in the spring the combined Bette into the Baltic and the White See, where the crews s miam essinised with the Meg of bombs, gas' sad foams, Is wßemisspets ; than at length, this Itltle wed, ease tikes, sad the allies supplied with snilsiess pledgee, the melody* possession Otte mili tary palate ef the Umlau t the Black Sea, the sea of Araff, the Bahia end the White Sea, to await meta It may please Russia to soh foe passe as conditions entirely satisfactory for the pleated smiths fatale. This plea *anodes in a remarkable manner with that which was attributed to the French government a day or two since by the Indepaidarice Beige.

The Gazette contains the royal decree by which the cap taincies-general of Aragon, Burgos, and Navarre, are declared in a state of siege. It also contains a decree creating a board for the sale of national property. The same journal publishes telegraphic despatches from Saragossa, Celatayud, Navarre, and Burgos, received in the course of the previous evening, and containing an account to the last moment of the mea sures taken for putting down the recent military risings. The first three merely state that the local authorities, at the head of military forces, were still in pursuit of the insurgents; the last says that a de tachment had fallen in with a band of seven military insurgents at Villadiego, and had captured one man, all its seven horses, and nearly all its arms. General Bedoya had been nominated to the command of the troops sent from Madrid to act against the insurgents. The extraordinary powers demanded of the Cortes by the Spanish Ministry consist in authority to isiteriser any individual whom the Council of Ministers may regard u dangerous to public order ; and, further, to suppress any newspapers whom hostility shall be deemed dangerous to the powers that be. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received our despatches by the overland mail. The dates as advised by telegraph are : Bombay, May 1; Calcutta, April 22; Hong Kong, April 18. The Bombay Times of May lit says: There has not been a sirgle foray on our borders, nor squabble anywhere. From the north-west we learn that Brigadier Chamberlain, accompanied by Major Edwards., with a force of 3,500 men, consisting of cavalry , artillery, and infantry, marched towards 1 Meeranzare on the 4th alt. No oppposition is ex-1 pcted, and it isthought that the force may return tol Kohat in about a month. Rajah Goolab Sing and 1 his nephew Juwahir Sing threaten to settle some long existing differences between them by recourse to arms; and as this will be an infraction of the treaty of Mooltan, entered into by Goolab Sing with the British government, in 1846, the Governor-General has directed a watchful eye to be kept on the move ments of Goolab Slog's troops, resolving not to espouse the cause of either of the chiefs, unless the other should Idisobey the orders of government. Colonel Brown, of her Majesty's service, has been honourably acquitted by a court-martial on the I charge of eta) ing a Punjabee, alleged against him. Promo has been the scene of another con- 1 flagration : this is the second fire that has occurred in Pegu within the last few months. Sixteen miles more of the Bombay Railway, making fifty in all, have bean completed; and the contractor, l iamserjes Dorabjee, an enterprising Parsee, yester day invited a large party of European and native gentlemen to visit the works, of which he is naturally and justly proud. On the new portion of the line 'three viaducts have been constructed, of 15, 12, sod 15 arches respectively; and after inspecting these and other works the party were sumptuously enter ' tained by the contractor. Government are endeavour ing to complete their arrangements for working net the great educational scheme. H.M.'s 14th Dragoon have just arrived at Kirkee from Meerut, and will be prepared to proceed to the seat of war, if their services should be required. Bombay ham had one of the finest springs, from February up to the present time, ever experienced. The import trade, in all its branches, continues without change for the better. Freights are dull, and slightly easier than our last. Exchange is favourable for remitters, but money is still tight, and in demand. A MONSTER OF CRUELTY. We (Calcutta iimiliskssart) have the following from Lucknow " March 29.—We Dave read of the terrors of the Spanish Ingeisition, the horrors and barbarities of the reign of terror, and the persecutions of Christians by the Roman Emperors, but the atrocities of the fiend Juggereatb, it not exactly unparalleled, are of a nature err revolting and brutal as to instil loathing end disgust The inordinate love of cruelty and refinements of torture practised by this robber, lately elicited upon his short trial, ate supremely barbarous. A little while previous to his arrest, Juggernath seised and carried off to the fortress (the pandemonium when the worst steam were enacted) the child of a maha jun, who was reputed to be rich. lie offered to ransom the boy fora sum of money PO exorbitant as to be out of the father's power to pay. The robber,determieed not to be outdone in his nefarious scheme of extortion, put in Lace a diabolical threat which be had previously communicated to the child's parents. lie cut off the unfortunate lad's ears and noes, and placing them in a brass dish covered with red cloth, sent the hideous specter:de as a gift to the father, with an intimation that if, an event of the amount demanded being not forthwith remitted, he should be greeted with a sight of the other members of his son's body. As no blood can be knocked out of a stone, and the sem was far beyond the perenVe mesas, he earnestly implored for his eon. The inexorable Juggernath was u wood as his word, the Alien and toes followed next, and finally he dashed out the boy's brains against the wall of his fort.

CHINA. The news from the Middle Kingdom by this mail is indecisive. The Imperialists do not appear to' have improved their recent successes at Shanghai, and we hear of one or two positions of secondary importance having fallen into the possession of the insurgents. A private letter from 800-chow states that the city of liwuy-chow, let. 26.59 N., log. 118.28 E., tell into the hands of the rebels at 7 o'clock in the even ing of the 9th of March. Ihe taking of Kwei-chow is said to have been effected by a party of the Nan king insurgents, aided by a local band, who sur prised the city and killed the Tautest. The interior of the province of Canton is kept in a state of woe ful disorder. The " good people "—they who have not strength or spirit to take up arms on their ow. account—are the prey equally of red heads, village braves, union men, and soldiers. About three weeks before the evacuation of Shan ghai a letter was received there from Tai-ping-Wang assuring Loo and Alm of his warm sympathy ; honour ing the former with the rank of Che Se, the latter, with that of Hoo Che fie, or Deputy, and telling them that a brigade of 40,000 men and 5,000 women was being organised wider General Hee, and would soon leave Nanking for their relief; that the route taken would be somewhat circuitous, but that no time should be lost. Before that letter arrived, however, Jesuit and French Admiral had effectually succeeded in disorganising all previous arrangements, and the city had to be evacuated. The entrances to Hong-Kong harbour, both east and west, have been lately infested by detached fleets, and passage and trading boats have been com pelled to put back, while one or more lorchu, with provisions for vessels loading with emigrants, have been captured, as has also a large trader with a cargo of market stuffs, some of her crew being killed and others wounded. The Hornet and Bittern, with boats from the Winchester, Sybille, and Spartan, had been despatched to make a clearance of the waters. It was said that the combined French and British squadron was about to sail for Japan, en roue to the Amour and Kamschatke. _ _ On the 21st of March the Styx, under command of I Lieutenant Bruce, proceeded to Amoy and Shanghai. On the 7th of April the Sybille, Commodore Elliot, Hornet, and Bittern, left Hong Kong for the north. The Spartan followed them on the 13th. The &mi t:outs and Encounter left Shanghse, under sealed orders, on the 21st March. The French frigate La Jeanne d'Arc, and Constantine, also left Shanghai on a cruise on the 4th. The surveying schooner Saracen arrived at Hong Kong on the 7th, and on the 14th of April there were in port the French Sybille (50), Winchester (Admiral Stirling), ana Saracen. At Canton the Comas was moored off the factories. The Racehorse was at Fult-ohow-hi. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Up to the present date, lays the Overland Friend of Chita, of April 14th, in 21 ships, about 13,264,600 pounds of tan have been shipped to Great Britain from Canton for the whole of the current mason. Up to similar period the year before, in 64 ships 40,208,700 pounda; and in 1853, to mine date, in 41 shi ps, 30,649,000 pounds. Sines the commeneement of the present year only four ships have been dospatebed from Canton to Great Britain with toss— total on board of them 1,898,900 pounds.

LOSS OF THE COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD Oa the 17th March, the Countess of Bestleld, tea and silk laden, left flhaerthae for Loaders, but the weather proved thick sad stormy Irom the time she left the river, and no observations could be obtained till she struck upon the Prates at 81 ea the night of the 21st. The helm was in stantly put " hard a poet," but the vessel would not obey. The soils were then clewed up and the boats cleared. As the ship was rolling gunwale under, the see breaking on both sides, and there was great danger of the masts falling and injuring the boats, ;Captain lanes ordered the rigging to be cut ; the touts then went over the side, and the ship lay easier. At daylight, the captain dis sever= that be was on the north-west point of the reef. He ordered the stanchions as the 1= board side to be eat, the boats launched and properly peonsioaed, and made for the island, about Ave Miles dis tant. The captain, =limn, and mew, numbered 19, be- sides a Preacher= as passenger. After having been oaths island for throe weeks, during which they had erected tents sad deepened the well, the weather became eo favourable, that Captain lanes, with his nosed dicer, boatswain, sad two semen, on the 7th April, left is the long-boat for Hong-Kong. They had been 28 hours in the boat, when, does to Pines Branca, they fortunately fell in with the American clipper Challenge, on board of which they received the utmost attention and kindest', and which ' towed their boat to Hoeg-Kong. The screw Wainer Ann, the schooner Banner, and two torches, had been despstebed to the Pratas—the former chartered by the agents of the onsigness, the others on a private wrecking speculation.

Is. 64., car ried to the reserve fund for the half year. The CHAIRMAN, fa moving that the reports and amounts be adopted, expressed, on behalf of the directors, their acknowledgments for the confidence reposed in them. The interval sines their election had been too short to enable them to produce any very important result. Their advent to office bad, unfortunately, been marked by the lose of the CIIIIIIIIII, but that vessel had been folly insured. There were only one or two points to which he wished to refer. The 66th clause of the deed of settlement required the directors every year to caw a valuation to be made of all the olio' belonging to the company ; the direc tors found it impossible to fulfil at present the requirements of that section. The proprietors would observe that the accounts were signed by only one of the honorary auditors. Mr. Crawford, the other honorary auditor, had stated his reasons for refusing to sign, in a letter which was in the ' hands of the proprietors. The stipendiary auditor, Mr. Hamill, on the 24th of May, addressed a letter to the board, in which, after referring to some discrepancies in the se. count. as prepared by Disuse. Quitter and Ball, and as they appeared in the books of the company, be says :•—•• In the books prepared by Mews. Quitter and Ball, I observe that a sum of 145,8411. 6.. 3d. appears to the debit balance of profit and lose amuse ; but in the ac counts which I have received from the accountant of the company a stain of 7,8611.45. 7d. appears to be the credit balance of the profit and 1011 account. In the se vaunts handed me by the chairman I find items and figures which are purely imaginary, and which have no existence is the books of the company. Under these circumstances I find it impossible to confirm these accounts with my signa ture." Under these circumstances the board consulted their solicitor, Mr. Levi, who ;gave an opinion to the effect that there was nothing in the deed of settlement to make the audit either absolutely necessary or absolutely conclusive, and that the meeting could accept the accounts and deal with them as they thought fit. He begged to move that the report and accounts be adopted. Mr. WRIGHT seconded the motion. Dr. Bikini opposed the motion. He bad himself gone to the office of the company, and found that the accounts furnished I. the shareaolders differed from thou given in the office. The accounts signed by Quitter and Ball showed a debit balance of 145,0001., but it had since been found' that 2,00 W. for stores was omitted. The accounts presented to the meeting were not verified by the signatures of the chairman or any of the directors. The net profits of the working for the year 1854 had amounted to 132,000/. ; and under such circumstances, he did not think the accounts put forward by the directors represented the full value of their property. As the accounts had not been audited, they could not be received by the meeting, but should be referred beck to the board. They did not even bear the signature of the third auditor, Mr. Hutton. Under these circurr stance', he thought that is justice to themselves they ought , to refuse to receive them. He would move as an amend ment to the resolution, "That the accounts now presented, not having been auditd in accordance with the provisions of the deed of settlement, cannot be received." Capt. HALIIITIOIIICOOded the amendment. The CHAIRYLS said that the statement of accounts lying on the table, and which the Secretary would have Ma to the meeting, did bear the signature of Mr. Hutton, the auditor. Messrs. Quilter and Ball had a been asked to audit the account., but, in pursuance of the resolution of the last meeting, they were called in to prepare the se. counts. It was true that there was a difference of 2,0001. between the accounts as they then stood and those prepared by Messrs. Quitter and Ball, but the was one which had been discovered in the audit, a proof that the audit wee an efficient and practical one. When the accounts were submitted to the two honorary auditors, Mr. Crawford declined to enter into any investigation; but Mr. Hutton had carefully gone through all the accounts. The directen had adopted the only course open. Mr. Quitter was present at the meeting, and would mower any questions that might be put to him. No person could be more pleased than he would be to find that they had taken too unfavourable • view of the company's affairs. After some further discussion, the Chairman put the amendment, which was lost, and the original resolution carried by • large ado/By. Oa the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Hankey, the outgoing directors, Meows. Lockwood, Margetsoe, sad Ceps's' Shattleworth, were re-elected. The CHAtiItAN then stated that the next business before the meeting was the appointment of auditors, with which the directors would rather not interfere. After some discussion, on the motion of Mr. Hankey, seconded by Dr. Vivian, Mr. Hutton and Mr. Round were appointed honorary auditors. Mr. Mooan proposed that Mr. George Brown be ap pointed etipeadiary auditor. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stevens. General AITCHUON thought that the present auditor,Mr. Hegel', ought not to be superseded unless he was convicted of doing wrong or become incompetent; he therefore begged leave to move that Mr. Resell be re-appointed. Oa a show of hands Mr. Brown was elected by a large majority. The CZAIIIMAN proposed a formal resolution repealing the bye-law of February, 1852, in order that the general meetings might be held in February and August, as pro vided in the deed .f settlement. Mr. COLIMAN suggested that a aim of 143,000!. standing to the debit of capital should be written off. After some conversation it was arranged that the matter amide submitted to the consideration of a special general iftsaf tsTlian were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. BRITISH AND FOREIGN UNITARIAN ASSOCIATION. The thirtieth anniversary of the above religion' association was celebrated yesterday. The proceedings commenced with divine service at the Little Portland street Chapel, on which occasion an eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. 0. B. Brock, of Easter, on the tenets of the Unitarians; and afterwards • meeting was held in the cha pel for the despatch of the business of the year. The chair was taken by Wm. Biggs, En., M.P., and Mr. Webb, the secretary, read a voluminous report, which, amongst other things, referred to recent parlisirsnitmy proceedings relative to the removal of the tests at universities, congratulating the body on theirremoval at Oxford, and auguring &similar re forms ataaearlydate atCambridge. Mr. Heywood was warmly complimented on his exertions in favour of religions liberty, and the report proceeded to state that it was in contain platten to publish a revised translation of the Old Testament at the expense of the amociation. The meeting was mongre -1 talated on the fact that out of thirty pulpits which were Yeatet at the commencement of last year, fifteen had sinus been filled up, and gement' were in active (progress for supplying the remainder with competent ministers. A. oompliment was then paid to the memories of four die tiognished members of the Unitarian body who had died in the course of the past year, and the report concluded with an assurance that both in a religions and financial point of view the con dition of the association was highly satisfactory. The Rev. J. J. Tayler moved, and the Her. E. Tigers seconded, the adoption of the report, which was carried unanimously. Another report was subsequently read by the Rey. Mr. Hatton, agent to the Home Mission, which was aloe adopted; whereupon some discussion arose uto the pro priety of ab dishing the Home Mission at the aloes of the half year. The general feeling appeared to be in favour of Us goatinuance, and a resolution to that effect was carried in the meeting. After the transaction of some routine besieges, the proceediogs at the chapel terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairmen. In the afternoon, Le clergy and laity of the Unitarian body assembled at as excellent collation provided by Mr. Withers, Baker-street, Portman-sr:ogre, and Mr. Biggs was again nominated as president, supported by Mr. Collin, M.P., Rev. Messrs. Tagart, Brock, Tayler, and Kell. On this occasion, several excellent speeches were made by the rev. gentlemen present, referring to the various points of the report, after which, The Rev. Mr. TATLEE, president of the Manchester College, proposed in eloquent terms the health of the Rev. Mr. Cbanning (nephew of the late Dr. Channing), and the Unitarians of America. (Cheers ) The Rev. Mr. CDANNINO, who was received with loud cheers, said it was just 20 years since he bad had an oppor tunity of visiting his fellow Unitarians in England, and although they had lately been belabouring themselves in true English vein —(a laugh)—ke oouli atsure them that the oeotrast he observed was re matkable, and that in all thine they were wonderfully improved. (Hear, hear.) There was nothing which had pleased him so mu ch on his arrival in Boglaod as the perfectly unflinching sincerity of self criticism in which the people indulged. (Cheers) It might be said that so did the people in the United States, but be begged pardon, they always made reserves in that country. They might find fault with those garments of their childhood which they had outgrown, bat they still would not hear aaythiog said against the boy who had worn them. (A laugh.) He believed that this candid spirit of self cri ticism which he saw abroad in England, arose from the indomitable faith of the people that the destiny of Great Britain was not yet accomplished, but wee !rising to • higher and wider range than ever ; and, with the spirit of truth animating his heart, he him self fully sympathised with that conviction. (Loud cheers.) The present crisis was truly • solemn one, not only for I Great Britain but for the entire globe. (Hear, hear.) He wished he could show them how their country looked from abroad—from America—at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) America felt that she derived her national life from the same source, and believed that in union with the parent country it was her mission to pre serve the balance of power in Christendom. (Cheers.) Undoubtedly there might be some disunion between those two great countries, for it was part of the law of progress, bet it was the deepest concern of both, as Chiral's', as patriots, and as men to preserve God's unity between them. (Heir, hear.) Let them both see that, whatever might be their differences, they were not misled into a fra tricidal war. (Hear, hear.) They were one in race, in literature, and in the germs of those institutions to which they, Americans, owed their right of living as free citizens. (Cheers.) As there were other speakers to address the eneetiog he would not further detain them than by relating lan anecdote which, he thought, applied to the tone in which I the English people t hetaked of themselves at the present moment, In one of tr western steam-boats the cabin boy rushed down in the middle of the night to the cabin screaming in the ears of the sleeping pas sengers, We are ail lost." The latter, starting up in a fright, eagerly inquired his reason for thinking so, when he said—" The captain's on the paddle-box, and the mate on the round-house, and the second mate somewhere else, and all have telescopes, and all are looking oat. lam sure, therefore, that we are all lost." S 2 it was with the people of England at the present moment, they were looking out, and crying out, in every direction, but he had no doubt they would find out where they were before long. (Cheers.) Jenza HEYWOOD, Esq., M.P., spoke on the subject of university reform. lie observed that, although at Oxford the deor is open to dissenters, yet there re no one to welcome them, but, on the contrary, the young men who goes up to take hi. degree cannot but feel that, in declining to accept the testa, he is cutting himself off from all hopes of emolu ment. With regard to the Cambridge Bill, now in the House of Lords, Mr. Heywood said that it was more evident than ever that the work of internal reform ought hot to be left to the uaiversity itself, but that the consent of commis sioners fairly representing the liberal tone of feeling in the country ought to be required. When the bill reached the House of Commons this point, amongst ethers, would be strongly urged. The hon. gentienran concluded with saying that at no previous period in his experience had all sects of dissenters shown such unanimity and cordiality as in this question of university reform. Some other toasts sad sentiment' from the chairman were then disposed of, and the company separated. THE CHARGE OF INHUMANITY AGAINST THE 72 - 111EVING OVERSEER OF ST. PANORAI: Yesterday being appointed by the vestry of St. Pancras fur considering the charge made by a coroner's jog upon the body of John Dewdney, aged 68 (who com mitted anicidei by hanging himself, incited to summit the act, as was alleged, by Mr. Birchmore, the relieving over seer, telling him, when he applied for relief, to go and place hie head under a cart wheel), a numerous assembly of that body took place at the Vestry Hall, for the purpose of de ciding on what coarse should be adopted in reference to the charge. John Mather, Rig., Id A., churchwarden, presided, and Mr. Birchmore was permitted to be pesent, is offer any ex planations he might think proper. He distinctly denied the imputation upon him of having made any such unfeeling remarks to the aged applicant, and letters were read from Mr. Corrie, the police magistrate ; Mr. Wakley, the co roner; and others, bearing testimony to his invariable hu manity towards the poor so far as came within their know ledge. After a long and searching inquiry, Mr. TIIIPBON said he could not but feel that this poor old man, 68 yean of age, bad bees moat cruelly treated. His conviction was, that Mr. Birehmore did tell him he was a "lacy man, and to put his heed under • cart-wheel," and therefore he had no hesitation in moving that the office of relieving officer, now held by Mr. Birchmore, be declared vacant. Mr. TIMMIIIt seconded the resolution. Mr. TAPPING moved an amendment, to the effect " that the vestry being aware of the high character Mr. Birch more had maintained for many year, for the efficient dis charge of his duties, as well as general humanity to the poor, could not but regret that he should have made use of any expressions calculated to effect the mind of the deceased, John Dewdnoy, and for which he was thereby severely reprimands d.' Mr. tilvatirrnx seconded the amendment, and charged equal blame on the oommittee of director,, who did not admit deceased into the house, and upon Mr. Timpsoa, who recommended his case to Mr. pirchmore, that he did not secure his admission. A long discussion ensued, in which Messrs. lichen, Stockton, Turner, With', sad other gentlemen took part, tho observations id the speakers being generally favourable, to the officer. . _ _ -- ---- On the question being put to a show of hand., thee, ap peared—Fur the smendment,4o; against it, 12.
