I know that certain persons would mot allow the oratorical art to be isideded ta the peak literary alanfication. We have in France en illustrious saffeleeted body, whom duty is to mind& as high se possible the standard of literature. I ' men the French Academy . Well. I have often heard that fir-famed company abusedfor having included in her On l Lion leo Limo a dam of the veteran of our parliamentary ; Wile. (Laughter.) I deal know if the reponch is always • nterested ; bat, at any rata I don t find it well : founded. I don't look at the Philippics of Demosthenes 1 or the invectives of Cicero, against eatable or Varese, as . indignant ornaments of Greek or Roman literature, and I don't mune that Englishmen would allow the speeches i of Bolingbroke, of Fox, of Burke, of Cau s ing, or of Feel sot to be ischeled among the great intellectual works 1 whin this country has protocol I would not quote here , the mean ef your public men of this day ; but I dare say 1 that 'nobody will contradict me when I assert that they I have sot dumeented from their forefathers, and I could , show at this very table living proofs of the troth of my assertion. I know that England does not enjoy the exclu sive privilege of breeding clever speakers, and I might at least name OM ciontry which is the first in my affection, and which bona of preesning • set of public orators—unfortunately now lb the half-p, y list—(laughter)—but as nomerous as was ever men In the assemblies of any country or of nay op, (Cheers.) lam certain also that peat national power will in or is 'lent, displayed in all those more or less I new parliaments which are now happily sitting in sway i (Closers.) But it has been your goo d tl i c i of , Z ia ltr i stais your wisdom, that you have ere neatly. wined interruption, for • long course of }Mrs, eajoyed doom represeetative institution and that binn ing has likela to in tone of public speakers in this country a penliar chanter—humorous without frivolity, practical and not trivial, eloquent but never degenerating into mere rhetorical amptiecatioos ; in • word, the country appears to me to present the real pattern of modern parliament) , eloquence. (Chien.) Then something may be said lof the daily or periodical pries. I know I come to a subject rather delicate to be touched upon in this and above all by me ; but I hope I keep within th iga e c Lits over which I ought sot to trespass when I say the press cannot reach its real aim we exert fully in bene ficial without freedom. Ido not contend that this freedom may have the same extent, or be submitted to the same rules, in all countries ; but it nate upon certain prin ciples which are keen by any man in his good sense, and ought to be resonated by any legislator of good faith. Nor would I deny that the freest proms may make some mistakes, or create some wrone--misleed public opinion ups certain persons or certain questions ; bat remember that it is the law of God that nothing eara be perfect in this , world. (Hear, hear.) Ono day . I was talking on this matter with an illustrious statesman in my own country, • mode- rate but staunch liberal—l don't know why I should ' omit his name, for I don't know any some more entitled to universal esteem and respect—le Dec de Broglie. And liter having carefully examised the inconveniences and advantages of the liberty of the he expressed his *nice as follows :—"I sin peeper to see honest sad good men oceasionlly alumniated , provided that one day or another the mask is torn off the face of the dishonest and the naked." Well, I my that • really free press nearly always expresses the (minims and feelings of the great ma jority of the community, make them preponderate, sad that nine times out of ten the majority inclines towards the best and wisest course. ( Cheers ,) The press exerts upon the executive power an action at the sane time stimulant sad restrictive. It vents many rash decisions, and it poin ts z out many things which are to be done, and which a stogie man t oot always perceive without the help of oe the bandied of the press. Its action is felt at the lowest degrees of administrative hierarchy. I have bees myself a public servant of my country—teen, hear)-and I know by my own, unfortunately not very long, experience, that nothing impremee • public man with • keener sense of his duty, sorbing =fortes upon him the obligation of mai tatieg carefully babes he bans any resolution, or of *Mead * contently to every part of hie duties, than the kaow ledge that all his acts or his omissions will be reported beton his countrymen, and commented open—ant always la • very friendly by., (Rear.) Even is anther point of view, the press when it is egged cannot give the same weight to Its literary judgment, nor exert epos literature the same healthy IaIIODOO. (Hear, bear.) I know that the liberty of the prem, has existed, or exists more or less in many other countries of Europe ; but it has been sub. mitted by mins circumstances, or hymnlike:al changes of legislation, to an intermediate state of collapse or over ezeinenet, which too often throws it wrong ways, or at least pevented it from having the full power for doing goat.' (Hens hear.) Webodycan deny that the contioental press writers have to fight with difficulties which are to be ociesidered, enchain they have to display • degree of cheer fulness, and ones of courage, whirl does them peat credit. But nothing can replace the free air which people breathe in this happy land, and which I hops some good wind will one day or other diffuse upon the whole of Europe. (Hear.) For no event, no family mho tarmacs, no nooses of others will alter the opinion I enter fain on this point, and which, I may say, I have sulked with the milk of my nurse • sad I will , persevere in repeat in with the peat BMW: historian, ' Fotior periouloes therms quieto ssrvitlo.' I prefer liberty with it dangers to a quiet servitude. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I have ex tended myself more than I ought to have done upon some pewter character of your present literature, my quality of foreigner will perhaps be an excuse for a li berty which one of your countrymen sitting hi this chair might not have taken. However, I know well that the object of this insti tution is not merely English, merely literary, but, above all, ecamepolitaa and charitable. (Cheers.) It is ant by giving prism to essays, or conferring distinctions, that you en tonne, the noble literary profession. It is by charity not • mean, noisy, or humiliating one, but • noble, secret, and well-applied charity. (Cheer.) Your unseen hand is always extended to help the young man in his first and unsuccessful trial, the old one, who at the end of his career is betrayed by his strength, the widow and the orphan, who are left destitute by • sudden rind unforeseen event. (Amnon) Aid you do not confine yourselves within the precincts of these islands ; you seek everywhere those who have fallen with honour in the great literary contest, whether they are born in the Arctic regions or in the barbarian weenies which extend south of the Medlin mean ; and when I say so Ido sot seek a mere effect of words—l sonic of ads. (Hear, hear.) It is the greatest privilege of those who are called to mole at these meet rap that your record, are open to them, and the only drawback of the great matisfactiou which eelts from this isepection is that your chairiaan is not allowed to disclose what he has seen. But you practise charity is it events- Beal way, and your left hand must not know what your right hand has done. There is only one case of timely as sinuses given by the society to which I may allude, because it has been Andy brought before the public, and brought byth ama e tan.d vere man who was interested in it, sod this man was .

The 207th anniversary of this most excellent society was celebrated yesterday, under the dense of Bt. Paul's Cathedral, with • full choral service. We may preface our description of the ceremony wit il a few remark@ on the origin and progrw of this, one of oar most valuable institutions. tie far beck as 1655 the tint festival was held in the same cathedral in which so many, now upwards of 900 years after, met to carry out the same cluiritable tign. In those times, as in the present times, there were cer tain zealous members of the church moved with composition for the helplessness and privations of the clergy," and they formed themeless into en association to alleviate their die trees. The privateassociation thus formed from the highest motives led to the establishment of a public body incorporated by royal charter by Charles 11., and which, from the drown- stared that the Bat promoters of the festival were all sons of clergymen, became known as "The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy.' Reading this title one would be apt to form a circumscribed notion of the great value of this society ; and we may perhaps correct a popular error when we state the real olre of the corporation. They are thew—assisting necessitous clergymen, pensioning their widows and aged single daughters, and educating, appren ticing, and providing outfits for the children of clergymen. In proof of the benefit thus conferred—a benefit ari-ing out of the philanthropy of • pad age, and nobly seconded up to the very moment at which we write—we may state on official authority that 111000 its foundation the charity has distri buted something like 2,000,0001. is peosious and donating. to 30,000 clergymen, their widows, aged single daughters, and children. It commenced without endowment, and has share subsisted on reinstate contributions—a trenchant proof at arses of the liberality of the country and of the excellense of the object. At the present time there are 712 widows and daughters of clergymen in receipt of pen sloes of from 10/. to 25/. per annum, and 500 clergymen and children are also annually assisted. During the last year 16,2001. have been distributed amongst these classes, but," as the report states, "so numerous are the ap plicants that the foods permit only of very limited and Mee inadequate grants being made." The governors therefore appeal to the clergy and laity for a continuance al their support—their especial desire being to mid the amount of the pensions to the widows and aged single daughters of clergymen ' • end thus placing in view before the public the object of the corporation, they met yesterday according to annual custom under the magnificent dome of St. Paul's. Tien was, sa there should have been on such ao occa sion, a full &Madame.

About 300 sat down to dinner. The " Health of her Majesty" and other loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN. in proposing the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Hospital of Kiees College," said that the poor were especially 'entitled to our sympathy, and no hospital bad done more for them than the one thee had now met to support. From the time of its foundation in 1837 dome to DM it had received 483,685 patients, and last year the numbers amounted to 33,000. At present the patients amounted to about 500 daily. This was mean- Melly a free hospital. The patients might be admitted by letters from the governors, but the surest letter of intro duction wee illness and distress. (Hear, bear.) The medi. cal sod surgical attendaeoe at this hospital was of the best daseriptiou. Not only did the patients receive physical sire, bat their moral condition was also attended to. He had himself attended the hospital, and he saw the suffering relieved sled the service of the church daily performed 111 the hospital. The income of the hospital amounted to between 6,000 f. and 7,0001. per annum. In suldition to that they had mud contributions, amounting to upwards of 1,5001. par annum. In consequence of expenses they had been put to in building their new hospital, and other causes, they had become indebted to tbe amount of 2,0001., which was not the result of extravagance, but of necessity. la his opinion, this was a case in which every charitable heart would be inclined to contribute. _ The SICRITAIT read the list of omitributions, from which it appeared that the amount subscribed before he entered the room was upwards of 1,7001., and the amount of dona tions subscribed during the evening was upwards of 3,000/. altogether, besides Mi. in annual subscription.. Several other toasts having been given the company se parated. SOIREE TO MR. HARPER rwaLrarmrs.

There were upon the grounds of the asylum 147 separate houses, and the provision thusafforded for destitute mantels of the licensed victualler's trade far exceeded that of any other similar charity in the country.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that great end important changes had been made in the arrangements far carrying out the educational and other objects for which the society had been established. A long lease of the pre mier occupied by the society having been obtained on very favourable terms, it was considered desirable that the 2,0001. =had by the late Mr. Jacob Bell, for "increasing the yof the School of Pharmacy," should be applied to the building of a new laboratory, sad that other extensive alterations should at the same time be made, including the construction of a new lecture hall , the extension of the museum and library, and the provision of suitable accommo dation for conducting the examinations under the Phar macy Ask These alterations had led to a much greater expenditure than was at first contem plated. Very important improvements had been made in the arrangements for conducting the exa minations under the Pharmacy Act, and the system adopted by the board, in its fully organised condition, would, it was believed, bear comparison with that of any other examining body having similar objects in view.
