"I have oome to this derision most reluctantly, and only after the most anxious consideration of the consequences which may arias out of the course which I have now adopted. But my duty seems to me clear. As I Rill agree with the opinion expressed in the letter addressed by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, on February 12, to ow of my rural deans, the Bev. 11. B. Williams, with regard to this and the other sways, and as I believe (on the very beet advice) that the writer of this essay bee brought himself within the reach of the ecclesiasties! law, I cannot 'map from the oosclasios that I sus boned to eodeavour to show that the Church of Raglead does protect her members spinet such false teac►ing as is contained in dif ferent parts of Dr. Rowland Williams's assay. ' "I will only further say that the feeling of my clergy, as *sprained to me both privately end in public addresses, with roped to this essay has quickened my own seam of remota sibility 'bola it, and that lam now eating in toll relimaes on their prayers that the Mae of these proceedings wry be such as to vindicate the truth of Cod, and that we rosy be all kept from mining up with the pure feeling of loyalty to the Church al England an► leaven of bitters's' sad want of charity.

The aeon remarkable is the Central Lon don district pauper school at Hansen, described by one of the importer+ of schools, Yr. Tanen, in his report Met published. This school receives children from the heart of London, children of the very lowest physioil type, many of them half starved, almost all stunted in growth, not a few scrofulous and subject to attache of ringworm and opthal tun ; it admits children in • dimmed slate, and out of 614 admitted last year, 267 were dinned. Of wens with such • rule many are seat is only to die, but if we subtract these, the wealthiest families in Selland would min the deith•este of this establishment. Last year it was barely tiler cent. ; Mr. Tufnell sounders that tnight tea suitably have been 12 pee cent. ; he has known it so in country workhouses with far finer children. The chief torn of this sanitary midi le ascribed to the late superistessiest, Mr. Aydin, who, in the course of 30 years' management of a large pauper school, had obtained by observatima • sort of empirical skill in treating the ailment of tad poorer cheese of children, that appeared to exceed that of any regularly bred medical man. One of his &stripes was that children of this description should never touch cold water, and the Hanwall school bring built nixig his directive has aa enormous steam boiler, by means of which every part of the establishment, contemns MO or Mal children, is furnished with an unfailing supply of hot water. Every child is washed in warm water twice a week, and Is oddities is washed does to the middle twice daily, the y•oungerchildren oftener, frequently after each meal.

Mr. Amble pro faned to ban MOO secret In his treatment of infectious disurdeis, and his annum have been bribed away to other schools with • view of discovering hie method of treatment, but they could ewer tell seything worth kpowing. If he had any secret at all it hos now died with him . • but Mr. Tufoell believes his reel sweet lay in enforcing adegree of detainer far beyond the pectin he beanbag Debacle -Mended eves by the children of the rides* and which yeald generally fie coseidered preponterounly extravagant and wasteful. Secret or no meet, the tenth is stated to have been, with this unpromising populthice, a degree of child-health beyond that of any other clam at society. —Tines.

ROYAL Dad 11.4170 COLLEGE. --►-- The annual meeting of the aubecribera to the Royal Dramatic College was held yesterday on the stage of the Royal Adelphi Theatre. Mr. B. Wenerra, the Master, presided. The following are attracts from the report : " The fen houses, so constructed as to form twenty me venient plates of abode, are now erected, and will very soon he rawly for oceupetion. When all the mecessary arrangements shall have been completed, it will be the day of the council to report to you thereon, and to ask you to elect additional pensioners to 8U them. At present the council ouly props* to you to eupply the vacancies occa sioned by the deaths of Mr.. Mary Ann Weston and Mr. B..rry. Various circumstances have delayed the erection of the Central Hall, of which his RoyaPHighnees the Prince Consort did you the honour to lay the foundation stone on the Ist of June last ; but it is now hoped that the disputes in the building trades are in come cf final adjustment, sod that such a tender f o r the Central Hall may be obtaioed r the council can with propriety accept It has already been ' made known to von that the council bad reason to believe that the cost of the tea houses would he defrayed by the four theatrical funds, and by other special subscriptions They have now the satisfaction to report that their expectations have bees realised. It ia proper to state in reference to the buildings, that beyond the &e -tasl cost of each house, an additional expenditure has unavoidably been incurred. arising from the I *Man of cheater, the draining, fencing, and planting of the lend, the übtaieing of water, the construotion of sewers, and the supply of fixtures and ther requisites. As by the existing laws it is declared, that • wary donor of 101. 10s. i sad imessrds, in • single darter. shall be entitled to one , vote in rapist of every ICK.IOa contributed by him to the kid* oi the College, it necessarily follows that each doom of 250 f. is entitled, during hie life, to 73 votes ; but some diffi culty having ripen as to the votes to be exercised by the for flashiest Funds, the council have prepared a form of reeltition, which will he submitted for your approval, with a view to previle for that object. It is highly gratifying to the council to have to inform you that the generosity of Mr. Gee, in again placing the Royal Italian °perilous. at their discoed, ha. been the means of adding considerably to the college funds. To that gentleman the sincere thanks of all who ans interested in the Become of the college are due, not only for having twice placed his sumptuous theater the service of the council, but for the promptitude, seal and munificence with which he has on all occasions testified his' willingness to advance the objects of the hesitation. Many I other acts of kiadaer have been shown during the past year, amongst. which may be recorded a bequest of 1001. by the late William Ske/ton, Fart., and a donation of Wt. by the Worshipful Company of GcMsoitbs. ' The report was unanimously adopted. It was also resolved that in consideration of the rum of 251 X. metribeled by the Drury-lane Theatrical fund, that feed shall be entitled to vote in all matters connected with the college, during the life of some person to be nominated by the master and wardens ; and that each of the other three theatrical funds who have made Bindle' contributions to the funds of the college vie„ the Covent.garden Theatri cal Fend, the Royal General Theatrical Fund. and the Dramatic, Finestrian, and Musical Sick Fend, shall enjoy the like powers. Sir William de Bathe, Bait, Messrs.

Another pupil has also passed an exam. nation at Addisoombe, for • direct commission in the In diem army. The health of the boys is good. Among the exhibitioners at the college are four who are admitted at the rata of 151. per year instead of the usual fee of 601. The amount realised by the annual festival at Willis's Rooms on the 17th of April last was upwards of 1,0001. There has been no decrease in the liabilities since the end of 1859, owing to the large amount expended in repairs and alterations of the building, provisioning the boys, and the decrease in the donations. The annual subscriptions, however, were increasing, having advanced from 2.937/. in lasB, to 3,062/. in 1559, and to 3,150/. in 1860. A special fund has been created by the soused for additional buildings to complete the college, but it has not yet reached snob proportions as to warrant the council in commencing operations ; but they have now under cowl ' deratioo • proposal for erecting a house containing reai deeoea for four more pensioners.

ROYAL BOTANIC Socrzru. , —The first Bower show of the season under the auspices of the above society was wowed yeeterday in the ground. of the society, Regent's. park. The company was uousually numerous and fashion able, the beautiful grounds and conservatories being densely thronged. In the earlier part of the day it was feared that the lowering aspect of the weather would scare away the compaisy, bet the apprehensiou proved entirely groundless, se bola three o'clock the visitors poured in at all the ea raciness. The show was pronounced to be above the average, although, like its predecessor. at the Crystal Palace. weewhat, depreciated by the recent harsh weather. The hot-house plants were very strongly represented, Mr. Nay, gardener to Mr. Spode, taking away the solid gold medal, the highest prize in the show. The row were splendid, Mr. IMINI being again the successful exhibitor. Next to roses came the melees, which were in high perfection and Ira& admired, and it may be said generally of the sped. nun that even7tbiog was quite u good as could have been expected after such an unseaial spring.

The thirty-sixth anniversary meeting of this MO- 1 elation was held yesterday, at 'lrish's and the Crystal Panes, and wan more numerously attended than usual. Ig the 1 , morning the annual sermon was preached at the Unitarian Chapel, Brixton, by the Rev. C. Beard, of Cies-cross, I Cheshire, the subject of it being the general upset of I, belief and the progress of intellectual freedom in religiose i matters. At a meeting which took place in the chapel , after the conclusion of the service, the Rev. R. B. Asp land, honorary secretary of the associatioo, read the report i of the committee for the past year, relating to events in i Trennylvania, Italy, Austria, and India, in ell which countries the materna body has, it appears, churches fad missions. The general tone of the report was .hopeful and congratulatory. Is the course of the p roceediegs it was announced that Mr. E. Bicknell, of Herne-hill, had at the morning service made a donation of I,ooof. to the asiocistion.

The CHAIRMAN said they were met there to megrehriets 4 each other on the program of the vita/ pried* of that aasociation, and to eecourage each other to make redoubled exertions in the ensuing year. That emaciation claimed to exereiae no authority whatever in matters of religions belief it was a voluntary nonconformist amaciatioe of chambers and of individuals, recognising in the term '• Unitarily" a sufficient link of faith, and a sufficieet basis of seullse action. Among various reasons for renewed Mem' and he creased pecuniary contributions, there was noes which *a mended itself so much to his own mind as the necessity al affording proof of the vitality that resided in a religioub Wow meal°, which, in the words of the reportned that day, " seeks tosolvebbe problematic( uniting positive =eviction will ransecterian liberality," and which propmed to show the world that the mind of men was sot destined for aver hop,. tangly to minute between bigotry an the we hand end in difference on the other. (Cheers.) There was one form of authorite , which they recognised squally with any other par ticle at the Christian oreeinunity--ausely, that of their Delayed ilovereige, sad he would , therefore , conclude by proposing the following sentiment : " Her Majority Queen Victoria ; rosy her benignant rule lug continue to win the pantede of her subjects, and to teach the nations to respect and to imitste constitutional government." (Cheers.) The Rev. 8. Beene proposed the next &voltam.* kris., "Civil and religious liberty all the world over." He said. se proved that there was , an indiseoliable mica rerw.t- these two kinds of liberty. ' They were mutest], dependent, and this would never be forgotten by say one. 'Moiety hail Dot yet sanitised complete religious liberty He was astonished the other day et readingin one of the public priate that the evidence of a respectable man could be rejected in the law court* unless he would consent to nuke • dstermi sate confession of faith as certain points of religious belief. (Hear, hear.) Until be read that be wan Teeny not aware that such a state of things was possible in this coustry. Nothing could be clearer than that it was the duty ot all of them to do everything in their power to get such an anomaly removed. He was informed that • bill for that purpose was now before parliament, and he hoped that beak iodivithially and coogregationally, they would with out delay do all in their power to obtain far that bill the neonate amount of support. The CHAIRMAN then proposed "Unitariirdon ; may all who swept its truth show how • scripture' amid Cbristien faith May be held in • spirit fearlessly free." In enforcing this sentiment he contended that it was absolutely necessarythat religious truth should, like other kinds of truth, be puma steely developed is the mind at man. The Rev. C. SURD, with whose name the sentiment was coupled, responded. He observed that this sentiment queues& todtarianism under two aspecta—ae a free User lop and se • scriptural theology. He believed that if the human mind were allowed to work in freedom from preju dice and preposesesion, devout inquiry would ef egoeseaty hue in the adoption of somet • like the system of truth which chateeterised them as 0 y. (Hear, bmr.) Hs ; cid farther contended that the ingot scripters, both isi the Old and the New Testame eras eniphatie in favour of the unitarian dootrioe : and be wacluded *proposing "The British end Foreign nularlan Association." The Rev. R. B. AHPLAND, in reapooding on behalf of the committee, claimed for them a favourable verdict, both for their peat doings and for their intentions in regard to the future ; adding that be believed the prospects of liberal sod scriptural Christianity were never more satisfactory, more bright, or more hopeful than they were at that moment. ' The CHAIRMAN then proposed, "The Kingdom of Italy, the latest born amongst the free nations ; may It grow to in perfect stature in spiritual as in political freedom." Alluding to the origin of the present political condition of the Italian peninsula, he pronounced a fervid eulogium on Mazzini. It was, he said, to Joseph Maxsini more then to any other man that Italy was iodebted for bar anascipe- tioo. If be were told that he spoke with the partiality of a long and devoted attachment, he would reply that he also spoke with a knowledge of the man and of his purposes, which hardly any other living Englishman could boast of. Muzini end those who acted with him had rightly waived their republican end in order to join with the rest of thermal= in acoomplishisig Remits'. U they had now say doubt as to the propriety of that act of abdication, it arose from a fear lest diplomacy, which was of necessity in glimmer with a power that loved not liberty and loved not light, should teed to demoralise the Dation. They faired that the temporising policy of a mato rialist expediency which now with nines heart than con science ruled the counsels of the Italian monarchy might not only emasculate but even corrupt • movement which, if it were in right heeds, would eventuate in a new religious as well as • new political life. (Cheers.) It m ht be that in order to the accomplishment of the nationality of Italy, p u lley as opposed to expediency bad its part to play ; but he was sure all present would agree with him that the day of policy aa opposed to principle bad peeped away. (Cheers.) With its nationality so nearly accomplished, the duty of an Italian statesman wan to prepare to organise, and to mul tiply the forces of the nation ; not to chill the wakened esthosiasin of the people but to temper and direct it ; to take care that the goal which was so nearly reached should be nobly and rightly reached—reached in such a manner as to give the greatest strength and the greatest elevation to that new religious and political future which Italy had to present to the world. (Cheers). The Rev. Jaunt MARTINEAU proposed the next 'anti meat, via : "The churches of the free all the world over." He said that by "free churches" he understood those who accepted from their heart the provideutial conditions of leunan growth and development, wham inner nature did sot rebel against those conditions, and whose prevalent feel ing might he expensed in the words, " Out of the put into the future. Their attachment as unitarians to reli gious freedom he understood to be of this nature, that, whilst they believed there were certain irrefragable and eternal truths which had been won for them in the put, they held their minds to he free to accept new forms end developments of truth which might be presented to them as time rolled on. The CHAIRMAN, hi proposing " The Unitarian Churches of America," coupled with the name of the Rev. W. H. Channing, formerly of the United States, expressed a hops that the present conflict in America would load to the ulti mate abolition of slavery there, though he feared it would now be purchased but at a cost of bloodshed and misery from the prospect of which he turned away in horror and dismay. The Rev. W. H. CHANNING, in responding, said, never wee he so proud of standing, as it were, under the fold. of the starapangled banner as be was at that moment ; never had he felt so ready to give the last drop of his blood to preserve its honour and its influence. (Loud cheer.) The people of this conntry could not be neutral if they would ; for providence Lad made them leaders in the work of ernao• *Atka. Their sympathies were with their brethren in the north of the United States, their prayers were with them, their strong, clear affirmations were with them. "We ask nothing (continued the rev. gentleman) but your moral aid. Do von call that neutrality? How, then, do God and his angels interfere! We do not ass their avenging swords, but we feel their influence and their renovating power ; give us such aid, and we shall be contented." He added, that the unitarian ministers of the United States bad one and all devoted themselves to the rousing of the conscience and heart of the nation on the question of slavery. The Rev. Mr. DALL, from Calcutta, and BASRA!. DAS HAULM, subsequently addressed the assembly, which, after the customary acknowledgment to the chairman, broke up at an early hour. THE YELVERTON MARRIAnt CAM—The cue of " Loogworth or Yelverton r. Yelverton" came on for dis cussion in the Outer Rouse of the Court of Session, Edin burgh, on Saturday. It was continued on Monday, and wan again adjourned, in order that senior counsel may be heard. The points at present under discussion are questions of evidence algae, being the validity of various appeals and ercesappsals takes in the course of the pursuer's proof. T'heas appeals are very numerous, but the most important of them refer to statements made by the pursuer about the time of the alleged marriage. Them, the defender contends, should not be admitted. On the other band, the pursuer contends that their exclusion would be a peat blow to the ease, as they prove, sad are indeed the only evideoce which out prove, the view she at the time entertained of the rela tion in which she stood to the defender. She is accused of Laving consented to be his mistress, whams these ideas mem.. if admitted, would show clearly that she then be haved herself to be his wife.—Scotnitan. (Stamped; id.

This charity dates so far hack as the year 1702, the first of the reign of Queen Ann, when • few benevolent persons commenced on a very small sale the geod work which the society has been enabled's° successfully to carry on. At that time the society was formed for clothing and educating twelve boys, the sons of parents racketed to • nicasitoois audition. For this purpose a school.huuse was provided in tie parish of St. Ann and St. Agnes, Ahlersgate, Louden. In 1709 the society established its girls' school in con. maim with the town establishment. In the year 1796, en asylum was established at Lavenharn, in Suffolk, for the education and entire maintenance of 20 boys %elected from the town school. This ' asylum, after a Mw years, was removed to Peckham, in Mangy, where it ',outlaws!' till 1825, when, the society baring recommended itself so favourably to the confidence and sympathy of the public, the committee were ambled to I erect • handsome building on freehold ground at Streatham for the accommodation of 100 boys sod 50 girls.

The audience of the Second King was pre cisely similar to that of the First. His Majesty was seated on a chair raised on one step ; the conversation took place in • dialogue form, and during-the time the officers of the Gironde smoked cigarettes which the King had caused to be placed near them. The King afterwards invited them to dinner. After dinner his Majesty requested them, if they were not too fatigued, to go up into his apartments, where they passed aserly an hoar in drinking tea, smoking, and COD• versing, the subject being astronomical observations, steam engines, sad nautical matters. His Majesty popes much of his time in baying steam yeah; fitted up--exerciiing the crews in gunnery pieties, at which they are very expert, and in making his mandarins take obsernaiona. A POLITICAL. PARALLEL.—The independence of Italy has toned a warm defender is N. Eotvos. In sup. porting M. Dick's proposition of an address in the Diet at Pestb the other day, N. Eotvos said : " Whatever love the Hungarians may have for their nationality, would they ham its supremacy en the annihilation of the legitimate rights of other nations, or would they ensure its greeters by preventing on the one hoed the resurrection of Poland, or on the other, the unity of Italy r Referring to the pro posal, mooted at the court of Vienna, of rejecting the ad drew, Y. Eotvos added :—" Even supposing our address does not succeed, I yet look with calmness to the future. Our cause is not one of those which depend on caprice or good pleasure ; it can neither be granted by favour, nor withheld by violence. Our cause is that of all nationalities. It is the condition of the unity of Italy, it is the cause of liberty for which for three ceoturies the peoples have shed their blood. A people which rests on such rights as these cannot perish."

It entered minutely into the origin of the war, which acme from the conduct of the governor in his attempt to appro- priate hind without taking those steps which had been agreed upon between the natives and the government in cases of that description, and also without the consent of the native chiefs. The society bad published a pamphlet, detailing . all the facts of the case, and calling for a special committee of inquiry, in order that if wrong has been done to the natives reparation might be made, and petitions have been sent into the House of Commons with the same object. The report then strongly condemns the conduct of the home government for their unreserved approval of the acts of the colonial governor. It neat alludes to the position of the Kaflire at the Cape of Good Hope, disapproving of the policy carried out in that colony, expressing - its opinion that while the present policy was pursued by our government towards the aboral inhabitants of our colonies dime tidaction would always exist amongst them. The society had expended during the past year between 3 001 . and 4001., leaving it somewhat in debt, and appealing to the public for further pecuniary support.

RETURNS PROM THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORMS RELATING TO METROPOLITAN DRAINAGE, ac. This . morning the following return to parliament from the Metropolitan Board of Works was issued : "The Northern High Level Sewer contract is dated the 14th Jan., 1859, and the amount is 152,4301. Mr. Wm. Moxon is the contractor. The contract is nearly completed ; minor weeks, to the amounted 1,5001., only remaining to be hoislied. The southern high level sewer contract is dated 3rd August, 1859. The amount of the contract is 217,0001. Messrs. Belling and Co. were the contractors. In July, 1860, they failed to carry on the works, and the contract was then pro ceeded with by their sureties, Messrs. Lee and Bowles. The value of the work executed by Mesas. }felling and Co. was 28,750 i. The value of the work axe- Wed up to the present time is estimated at 79,000/. The middle level sewer contract is dated 24th February, 1860, and the amount is 264,5331. Mr. William Henry Rowe was the contractor. He failed to complete his con tract in November, 1860, the value of the work executed up to that period being about 12,45 U. The contract was m ist to Mame. &limey and Co. in February, 1861, for 329,8001. ; and the value of the work axe waled up to the present time is about 16,0001. Thesouthern outfall contract was entered into in March, 1860, for 300,0001. The northern outfall sewer, in October, 1860, for 625,0001. The Deptford pumping engines, in March, 1800, for 22,3001. The Earl Outlet in March, 1860, for 8,5664 The Acton branch, in August, 1859, for 8,850/. The Ranelagh Storm Overflow, in May, 1860, for 26,4961. The Southern Low Level Sewer, in Augnet s lB6o, for 9,1501., and the Depthed Pumping St ation, in April, 1861, for 113,1361. The amount of the main drainage contract. now in course of execution, or already completed, is 1,825,1791.; and the total value of the work executed up to the present time is about half a million. The amount already paid and be paid for land and compensations is 102,3501. The ato estimated amount of compensation for lead was in cluded with other oompeusations and contingencies in • per centage open the estimated cost of the works, varying from B) to 47 per cent, and upon the contracts let, amounts to the sum of 410,0001. The amount of sewage which, according to the contract. WOW in hand, may be expected to be diverted from the Thames by about the end of 1862, is 50 milli:is gallons per day, exclusive of the maufall, for which provision has aho been made. The population for which works have been contracted is about 2,252,861, sod the annual value of the property is about 11,808,0921. The population for the removal of whose sewage the hoard have not yet °attracted is about 127,6152 • and the annual value of the property is about 642,324/ "The board have no means of ascertaining the actual ex tent of the damage which may have been caused by 4 floods. It was not the estimated extra cost for pumping which alone induced the board to contract for the high and middle level sewers, instead of first forming a low level sewer ; but the high and middle level sewers were designed to improve the internal drainage d the metropolis, by substituting covered fur open sewers, and by a ff ording improved °Walls for the drainage of the districts through which they peas ; and in an engineering point of view the principle of Interception by gravitation has been deemed more certain and preferable than pumping ; and construction of the gravitating sewers before the low level sewers an arrangement of great eco nomy and advantage ; bat the additional cost of pumping would have been about 800,0001."
