LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 26, 1861. THE FUNERAL OF HER LATE ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT. [Frees the Daily Nei n.] The last wishes of the illustrious Princess who so recently has departed from amongst us were most religiously attended to in all the details of the plain but impressive ceremonial of which St. George's Chapel, Windsor, was yesterday the scene. Frog more, the tranquil retirement in which her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent lived for so many years, and where she ultimately died, being but a short distance from Windsor Castle, the removal the body to the royal mausoleum occupied but a vary small portion of the early morning. In Windsor itself, the appearance of the town marked the presence of a great sorrow and recent calamity mewled to the meet careless observer. Resumes was entirely suspended, all the shops and places of business were closed, every blind was down, and a very few persons glided through the streets or stood at the corners conversing in groups, deco rously sad affectionately, about the niany virtues of the deceased royal lady. Her Royal High nese's character formed an especially fruit ful theme, it being now disclosed, what her Royal Highness had never allowed to be mentioned during her lifetime, that numbers of poor persons, and many familice residing between Frognaore and Windsor, had for years been supported by her bounty. It would be impossible, in fact, to over-describe the appearance of grave sorrow, spontaneous decorum, and respectful affec tion which was observable in the countenance and deportment of every person whom one met in pssni:ig onward to the Castle. Th.. weather, which had been so remarkably fine and open during the previous week, had yesterday morning suddenly assumed a gloom which bar !lionised strikingly with the sorrowful business of ' the day. The sky seemed like one vast pall ; a dim, ' sullen mist rose everywhere from the ground ; and a sparse but continuous dropping of rain typified the bitter tears which thousands were made to shed by the calamity of which the funeral ceremonial was to be the climax. The royal standard drooped sadly over the great tower and the bells of St. Georje's Chapel and of St. John's Church tolled at the lung intervals usual on such melancholy occasions. A guard of honour of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Hepburn, was drawn up in the court-yard of the Castle, and the entrance to the chapel was kept by the metropolitan police, under the direction of Inspector Walker, by whom the whole of the police arrangements were admirably carried out. A temporary eutranoe-hall, covered all over with black cloth, had been erected, and through this the few persons who had been favoured with tickets of admission passed into the chapel. The place allotted for the spectators was the organ-gallery, which being centrally situated between the nave andchoir, afforded excellent facili ties fur seeing the whole of the ceremonial. When we entered at ten o'clock there were nut a dozen spectators in the chapel, and the number received but a very inconsiderable increase during the re mainder of the proceedings. The appearance of the nave, with its tall white Gothic supports, and cold stained glom windows, was almost spectral, and the effect was made complete by the intense black of the raised platform which ran down the centre to the entrance of the choir. In a little chapel to the right a few undertaker's men were completing the last details of ti sir melancholy task, and then occasional whispers rose into the air with a singular and almost awful distinctness, so perfect was the general stillness of the rest of the interior. It was a relict to the eye to turn towards the choir with its elaiprate oak carving, its warmly-toned window, and its riehly-decorated communion table, upon which the whole of the costly sacramental plate was die. played. Here, as iu the nave, the Soot and seats were covered with black, and close to the base of the communion table, an oblong space marked out with a broad white band, told mutely but ex primitively what was to be the crowning act of the solemn pageantry. The distinguished visitors who received the Queen's commands to attend made their appearance punctually at the appointed hour. The three cabinet ministers, Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and Earl Granville, entered together, and were conducted to their seats, and the remaining seta, about half a dozen on eauh side, were speedily but noiselessly occupied. At live minutes to 11 o'clock one solemn note from the chapel bell announoed the commencement' of the ceremonial, and the funeral procession entered the nave in the following order, which it will be perceived differs in some particulars from the programme which has been published : l'agse of her late Royal Higlmess 7 -11r.lia and Mr. Dressers of her late Ro;al .BP rili n ighomm—llias Wsguer, Mies Km/abler, sad Ras &mak Secretary to the Comptroller of her la te Royal Highness's Household—Mr. W.

The coffin, which was large and massive, was covered with a pall of black velvet, on each of the falling sides of which three escutcheons were elabo rately embroidered in gold and heraldic colours. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, in his rapacity of chief mourner, followed it at a short interval. On his Royal Highness's right hand walked their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Arthur, the heir apparent taking the outside place, and on his left walked his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge followed imme diately after, and then came the remainder of the royal procession, the places immediately behind the royal family of England being filled by the invited members of the ex-royal family of France and the German relations of the deceased. It is almost needless to say that the delivery of the first portion of the Burial Service by the choir, as the procession passed slowly up the Dave, was solemn and im pressive. The singing of the royal choir is well known, and the skill and judgment of Dr. Elvey, the organist, generally appreciated. The anthem (Luther's Hymn) was splendidly sung by Mr. Tolley, • young tenor recently added to the choir, and to whom the duty had been specially allotted by direc tion of the Prince Consort. When the coffin had been placed on the trowels upon which it was to remain until lowered into the vault the Prince Consort took his seat at the head, the pall was removed, and it was seen to be covered with the richest crimson velvet, elaborately deco rated with gilt mouldings. The coronet was then placed on the lid, and the distinguished personage. who assisted at the ceremony having taken their appointed places, the concluding portion of the Burial Service was most impressively read by the Dean of Windsor, whilst the body was being slowly lowered into the entrance to the royal vault. We believe that, as by the desire of her late Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent her remains are to find their final resting place in the vault now in course of construction at Frogmore, the body was depoMted outside the royal mausoleum, which on tlua on:salon remained unopened. The following is a correct list of distinguished persons who had the honour to receive the Queen's commands to attend the funeral of her late Royal Highness, and were ' conducted to seats in the choir of Pe. George's Chapel : Mons. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister. The Count Kielmaosegge, the tiaooverian Minister. The Count de lavradin, the Portuguese Minister.

Dr. Robertson, of Belmont It was whispered iu the chapel that an illustri ous personage watched the sad ceremonial from a closet on the right of the communion table ' • and the sorrow which the recent bereavement has created amongst the surviving members of the royal family renders it not improbable that this last opportunity would have been seized to bid, as it were, a final farewell to one who in life bad been so tenderly loved and venerated. The coffin having been lowered into the vault, Garter King-at-Arms proclaimed the style of her late Royal Highness as follows : Thus it bath pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory life unto Ilia divine mercy the most illustrious Princess Victoria Maria Louisa, widow of the most high, most mighty, and illustrious Prince Edward Duke of Kent and Strathern, and mother of her most Excellent Majesty Victoria, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, whom God bless and preserve with long life, health, sad honour, and all worldly happiness. This was the last act of the solemn pageant. The Chief Mourner, the young Princes, and the other distinguished personages were conducted slowly out of the chapel ; the organ sent forth another solemn peal, and the few spectators de corously retired from the chapel. (THOU TB! COURT CUICUL&TO. The remains of the late Ducheee of Kent, attuned by Colonel Lord James Murray, Equerry to her Ws Royal Highness, and the Hon. Spencer Ponsonby, Comptroller in the Lord Chamberlain's Department, were removed from Fromm House at 4 o'clock yesterday morn ing to St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and placed near the tomb of the late Princes Charlotte. Four of the members of the late royal Duchess's household followed in a second mourning roach. Vimonnt Castle Roes*, Vice-Chamber- lain of the Queen's Household, received the body. At half•past 10 o'clock, those who had the honour of receiving the Queen's commands to attend thu ceremony of the funeral were conducted to sesta in the choir. The Belgian, Hanoverian, Portuguese, Prussian, and Suns Ministers, Earl Granville, Viscount Palmerston, and Lord John Rums% were on the north side ; the Earl of St. Germans, the Duke of Atlioll, and the Marque of Ailes bury occupied mats on the south midis of the choir. The remains of her late Royal Highness were moved, at 10 minutes before 11 o'clock, to the nave, and shortly after the royal family and other royal personages were conducted by Viscount Sydney, Lord Chamberlain, from the chapter room of St. George's Chapel to their places in the mom don. The remainder of those appointed to take part in the procession passed from Wolsey's Chapel to their place'. The Canons of Windsor present were the Hoe. and Rev. Edward Moore, the Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, the Hon. and Rev. Charles Leslie Courtenay, and the Rev. Fre derick Anson. The openiog sentences of the Burial Service, a chant adapted from Beethoven, were sung by the choir while the procession moved up the nave to the choir of the chapel• The body wee planed in front of the altar at a quarter-pad 11 o'clock. The coals, of crimson velvet, was covered by • pall of block velvet bearing eight escutcheons of the arms el 1 the late Amber et HeaL The Hee. sod Very Bev. Gerald Wellesley, the Dean (Stamped, ld. Additional.) of Windsor, stood iu the front of the altar and read the first part of the Burial Service ; the Anthem (Luther's Hymn) was performed. the solo part beibg 'sung by Mr. Tolley, a gentleman of the choir. The Dean 000tinued the service. " I heard R voice from heaven" (Croft) wee sung by the choir. Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. The Dean concluded the service, and the coffin was then lowered. Sir Charles Young, Knight, Outer King of Arms, pro claimed the style of her late Royal Highness : "Thus it lath pleased Almighty Cod to take out of this transitory life unto His divine mercy the moat illustrious Princess Victoria Maria Louisa, widow of the most high, most mighty, and illustrious Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strethern, mid mother of her Most Excellent Majesty Victoria, by the Gnu-o of Cod of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, whom God bless and preserve with long life, health, sad honour, and all worldly happiness." . The Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales were attired in mourning, and wore the rihand and badge of the most noble Order of the Garter. The other royal personages in the procession, the foreign ministers, and the Queen's ministers and officers of state present at the ceremony, were also attired in mourning, and those who are members of Orders of Knighthood wore their respective insignia. The service was concluded ►t 25 minutes belay 12 o'clock. His Royal Highness the Chief Mourner, mid the other royal persousges, were conducted out of this chapel, the " Dead Mar& in 8eul" being played by the organist. The chaplains of her late Royal Highness, the Rey. MCII.III. Fisher, Pitman, and Pitt, and one of the equerries of the royal Duch** Lord Howden, did not take part In the procession, being unable to attend. Lady Anna Maria Hoarsen, the Hen. Lady Phipps, Lady Charlotte Dundee, General Sir Robert sod Lady Gardioer, and Dr. Robertson of Balmoral, who had been honoured by the Queen's com moods to attend the funeral, were also unavoidably pre. vented from being present. Prince Frederick of Schleswig Holstein Augustenburg and Prince Victor of Ilobeolohe Langeoburg arrived at Windsor Castle on Sunday night. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colocial-ollice from the Governors of British Columbia and Vancouver's Island. Despatches wore sent yesterday to the Governors of Canada and NewtownUsed. ROYAL GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND. The sixteenth anniversary dinner of ithis excellent charity was given last night at the Freemasons Tavern, Great giteen•etreet, Mr. E. T. listrrit occupying the chair. The company, which was over 200 in number, included Mr. B. Webster, Mr. J. B. Buckstone, Mr. W. Creswick, Mr. T. P. Cooke, Mr. 0. Borings Child., Major Williams, Major Sell, Mr. Berjeast Bellentine, Dr. Hastings, Mr. W. R. Sams Captain Yorke, Mr. Edward Ruggles, Mr. J. Brougham, Mr. Fechter, Mr. A. Harris, Mr.Jerwood, Major Willianis, Mr. Areedeckne, Mr. C. D.. Singer, eta 140. The ended the hall and the gallery were set aside for the ladies, of whom there were a conaiderable number. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the Queen, saki it was out of no disrespect to her Majesty that the dinner took place that evening. Many weeks previous to the death of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent that day had been fixed upon for the annivoroary festival, and it was found impossible, owing to the arrangements at the tavern, to select another convenient day. The health of her Majesty was then drunk in silence. The next toast was "The Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the other branches of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN, in giving the " Army, Navy, and Yolun teen," said be could almost himself mien, thanks for the navy, having been for a very short time in that honourable service. When a boy, 15 years old, he was packed off by the night mail for Chatham to join Lord Coehrane's vessel, but his mother followed him next day, and brought hm back with all his baggage. (Laughter.) Hill father was an ad miral in the navy, sod ho believed be bad the honour of fighting with T. P. Cooke at Cape Si. Vincent. (Laughter and cheers.) Major Wuritite and Major SNELL replied on behalf of the army. Mr. T. P. COORS, in rising to respond on behalf of the navy, was grnited with loud cheers. He mid—Ladies and i am only repeat what I have so frequently said fore, th at I feel highly gratified by your associating my name with such a toast I beg that you will, if I am erred to see many more of these happy meeting., have the kindness to appoint a younger and more efficient band to discharge this duty. (Cries of " No, no.") My recol lection of the British navy is of the last century. I must coshes I have but an indistinct recollection of that period, and when I try to receive it in my mind I feel like Rip Van Winkle awaking from a long dream ; everything is now so totally changed in the navy. In the first place, ear poetic mile have beau nearly discarded for the more prosy but certainly more efficient screw and paddle-wheel ; our guns, then of limited range, are now exchanged for those of unlimited range, and of unlimited powers of destruction ; but above all, the material of which our ships were then formed Weills now totally useless, for our dear friend and gallant ally on the other side of the Channel appears practically to have towed in into a tarnation fix. (Laughter.) He has taken the scales off our eyes, and thus convinced us that our wooden walls are now of very little use to us ; and if we wish, in future, to compete with him, awl to bold our own in Europe— which, of eourse, we must—we must perforce give up ear hear to of oak and rely upon the soul of tree. (Cheers.) We have plenty of that mnwial still left, and also au abundance of coal with which to lick that raw material into shape. (Cheers.) With respect to engineering capability—that is, the building of iron ships—permit me to say, in the wants of Brother Jonathan, that we can beat all the world. (Hear, hear.) It is therefore some consolation that, though our dear friend has put os to enormous expense, he has at the sometime placed us in possession of enormous power ; and if we must sur render our deer hearts of oak, still we have within us that British pluck which 1 trust will ever beat within the breast. of our gallant and heroic sailors. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed the toastol the evening, " Pros perity to the Royal Theatrical Fund," and in doing so described in forcible terms the necessity for such an in sti tutiou, and the advantages it conferrer( upon members of the theatrical profession when visited by sickness or mis fortune. He spoke of the successful • efforts. of actors and actresses to contribute to our amusement, and of the strong claim which they ne a class had upon the sympathy and generosity of the public. He concluded by' an urgent appeal to the guests for subscriptions and dons. twos Unearth the funds, which he said now unwanted to about 12,000 f. The Meat wee drunk with enthusiasm. Mr. Romero :1z rose to respond to the toast, and was enthueiastically applauded. He said—gentlemen, it has always hem a part of my duty as treasurer of the Royal General 'fbeetrical Fund, to say something handsome of the chairman on these festive occasions ; to speak of his talents, his high position in society, and his excellent quali• ties 7 (laughter)—but with respect to our chairman of this evening, I feel that he is like the Dunces in Sheridan's famous opera, a very hard person tocorepliment—(laughter) i —not that he s undeserving of everything handsome that it is possible to say of ham—(lond lihier)—but I am puzzled upon which of his many good poi nts to seise. and hobs& with. He is not a distinguishe d) novelist, neither DI be a member of parliament; that is to say, not at present —(laughter)—he is nut a popular actor—Raughter)—nrither is be a poet, nor a great painter, nor a 'emotion preacher— (laughter)-while as regards the last celebrity, he may eer- Wally reply, " No, thank Heaven, nobody can say that of me." . (A laugh.) Yet still he must possess some prominent qualities, or he could not be where he is to-night—lawns) —the president of a festival so excellent in its objects, and so nunierousl, attended. I have often beard bias called an extraordiniry man. (Laughter.) Of noun that is one cieualiecatious—(continued laughter)—but I ant more dis posed to admit that his chief recommendations are, that wh' e be is a man of great energy, he is also a man of peat good nature and generosity ; while, to my knowledge, he has hardly ever been known to fail in any of the numr sous enterprises in which be has embarked ; therefor* as impresario of Her Majesty's Theatre, lessee and manager of Drury-lane Theatre, proprietor of the Alhambra— tell—projector of hotels and luncheon bars innum er and purchaser of everything—(man of laughter)—the libe ral employer of hundreds of people, actors, singers, dancers, musicians, artiste, pautomituista, acrobats, and nigger singers —(hear, ar)—and consequently the encourager of all trades, 'professions, and almost of every description of Maw tare, from the libretto of The dither WitcA—PatOtor)— sod Robin Hood, to the charming lyric of "Old Bob Ridl ey" —(roars of laughter) —he is well qualified to preside at this disner,wbere I am sure his great energy and indomitable per- Salleffinal will be brought to bear upon your feelings sod your pockets, and that a large subscription will be the happy result of his appearance here to-night. (Applause.) I have the pleasure to inform you, gentlemen, that cur still oontinubs in a flourishing condition. (Hear, bear.) Our capital, if you are generous to-night, wi ll amount to nearly 12,0001. (Cheers.) We have sow thirteen amanitas*, receiving 901., 601., and 30f. per annum, accord. iiag to the elms to which they subscribed during the term required by our rake ; and wham I toll you that ten of these annuitants are diae—(applanse)-1 can show you no proof of the excellence and usefulness of our aoeti fatioL (Cheers.) Nor do we cosine our resources only to the emoting of annuities. At the death of a member we eantribile 101. towardsfuneral expenses, and any subscriber wishing to retire from the fund can claim the return of aw -1 half the amount of his subscription money, though this not eery liberal claim has very rarely been made upon us. (TWOPENCE._ We have 172 subscribing members, while, in addition to the 13 aunwtantm I have named, we shall shortly have two more to be added to that number, and as we now possess a royal charter, we are enabled to rewire legacies, and you Al be pleased to hear that our find has recently been benefited by two bequests, one of 210/. by the late gifted Lady Morgan, and lutg. liv the near regretted Albert ' Smith, who has often b ee n . present at these festivals, and . helped to enliven the evening by one of his admirable songs. We acknowledge these bequests with every feeling of gratitude, and trust that it may set an example to others. (Hear, hear.) I often glance over the state, meet of " Wills and Bequests, published weekly in the Illustrated Loy.thm Ewa, in the hope of meeting with some kind and generous spirit—(laughter)—who, remembering the many pleasant hours the actor's art may have given him or her, he not forgotten the poor player, when "Age with his stealing steps bath caught him in his clutch." and when failin g t o discover such intelligent) e in behalf of our fend, I have . dreamily, and I hope Pot unreasonably, as • constant labourer for many years iu the vineyard of instruction and amusement—(bear, hear)—glanced again, to see if any of the rich departed from amongst the thousands of audiences I have appeared before, and for more years thee I sh a ll mention, have kindly and gratefully remembered me. I neednot tell you I have never yet met with any such re. merubrance, still we are told not to despair, as none of us knows what may happen. (Applause.) Gentlemen, it is so old but very false end ignorant notion amongst many persons, that the actors are a reckless and improvident race ; taken se a 'body there is not a more prudent and careful class. Witness the four dramatic institutions now is existence—the Drury-Lane Feed, the Covent-Garden Fund, the Dramatic Sick Feud, this the General Fund; and then to CfOMll all these meaments of prudence, look at the Boval Dramatic College—(hear)—the house of which are • narly corupleted, and shortly to be occupied. No, gentle men, lam proud and happy to my we are prudent, de. • taeatic, social, charitable, and very respectable. There is I scarcely an actor in the Haymarket company, that besides his lodging in London, M order to be near his duties, but owns his little box in the country, while some of the: new • freeholders, and With a stake in thestate.

But be this as it may, we can truly and honestly tell Broadbrim, that no member of the dramatic ' art *as ever hung at Nourgate—(laughter)—and which is ..* more than the Society of Friends ma say of thaird= body. Another erroneous notion appears to be mite by • bigoted portion of the public, that behind the soma of a theatre, nest be • sort of Pandemonium. (Hew bear.). KM often have I beheld the awkward astoniehmant of • visitor who has never been there before, to gad it quitil ' • scene of decorum, with the actors aad actreses only anxious about their duties, and ere looking upon the stranger as an intruder. See him introduced to the green room, where, if he has not done so on entering it. he is politely told he must take al his bat, that. being an • ancient Mee of etiquette, and which is observed to this , day in all respectable and legitimate establisbnienta. ' I once introduced a clergyman behind the wear—Men of • laughteri—he had evidently made up his mind that hie , sense of propriety was to be very much shocked ; still he wanted just to have • peep, for once, only for once ; but he ' found everything so quiet, so orderly, se ell that was bush nesalike and correct, that he told me when be weqt away he was so mistaken in the opinion he bad formed of what he • should lee, that really he did not care! to -Cowie *gab. (Laughter.) I have advanced thee refutations of igrimaat ideas reopening is to prove to you if possible that whim you are disposed to be generous towards the actor, I know you well be toescht (applause) that your generosity wilt be bestowed upon worthy object' • upon those who have been industrious and careful is youth ; upon those who, should they in old age require their annuities, will only have to. thank their 01.9. prudence for their iodependeuce combined with • grateful feeling towards you who have helped them to it. (Applause. I have now, gentlemen, to inform you that our belowe queen has sent us her annual donation of one hundred . guineas —(cheers)—while I am sure, not only from the encouragement she so °optionally be stows upon our art, but hem the ancient loyalty of the player, there is no class • of her subjects who more deeply sympathise with her in her recent domestic affliction that the English actors. (Hear.) Now, /melee') I hope you will he liberal toeigle, if only to emulate our gaseous and enterprising chairman. Some of you, like him, have, I dare say, many irons In the fire ; let me ask you to draw one out. ref-hot, to warm us up this evening. And while again referring to our chairman, I certainly coulees tohave been one amongst others who opposed his obtaining a music and dancing license for the Alhambra, because we considered the rights and privileges of tba theatres were being encroached upon, and by establishments under no control. But that has nothing to do with the canes far which we me alier° to-night. I—(as Mr. Box says to Mr. Cox) may say to him—" I have no animosity against you"--(latighter) ; —While he as Mr. Cox may reply, And I have no rooted antipathy to you." "Very well." (Laughter.) It was Mrs. Bouncer 's fault that we came into collision, Mrs. Bouncer meaning au embodiment of the Middlesex magistrates. Gentlemen, I conclude with leaving cur cause in your hands, and calling upon the stewards to act to-night with double diligence, to leave no purse unopened, no cheque unfilled, when I have •o doubt the donations of this evening will equal, if not ex. mad those on any other occasion. Mr. Buckstone resumed bin seat amid iced and enthusiastic applause. Mr. A FICIDDCKNE in a few appropriate words gave "The 'Drama." Mr. Wgierren said that having been called ur;nreuddenly toreturn thanks for the drama, be had to RIX , u for not being sufficiently prepared to do justketo so important a subsct. He La an ardent lore for the drama. In truth, the drama had been the labour of his life, and he hoped to aim with him to the grave the honourable recollection of having been one of its sous. In this toast he was associated with two porticos of the world—America and France. He was proud to say that in America the dear poet of this great land was honoured almost more than he was in his mother country. (Cheering.) He had heard reppeamtedly from friends that in America a volume of Shakspears was to be found along with the Bible on almost every table. It was a maxim among medi. cal men that while there was life there was hope, and surely there must be life in the drama so long as Shakspeare and kindred spirits never died. Americans had become foram; se exponents of Shakspeare—Mr. Forrest amt many others; but the most extraordinary fact in the history of the Eng. nth drama was, that a gentleman connected with the French stage, but who, he w..s proud to say, was " to the Englieh manner born"—(cheers)—had been enabled to give them an admirable proof of his art by his distin guished representation of the character of Hamlet. (Cheers t h That showed in what high estimation our drama was , by other maims • how Shakspeare stood out pre-eminent y above all other 'dramatists, and that though France bad her hfoliae, and (lernany her Goethe, still lihaltspears teemed above them, and was the glory, he ought say, of the whole civilised world. (Cheers.) . . _ ;.IliciTlOTtiracknowledged the toast on the part of Americo, and bore testimony from his own personal ex perience to the thorough appreciation which the people of that country showed of the works of the immortal bard. Mr. Fcctiraa also rose to reply, but after stating that ha t was quite unprepared to make a speech, suddenly stopped,. and seemed to be overcome by his feelings, or to be unable to give expression to them. He then exclaimed. "Oh Lord, have mercy," sod after another pause said, " I wiLl answer from Shakspeare, and take the first lines I recollect— " I am even poor in thanks, but I thank you." He thee rammed his seat amidst cheers. Mr. &demi Bourse= gave " The Chairman." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, awl in doing so said that his love for theatricals and the drama commenced with his earliest youth, for his father was the friend of Dibdin, of Elliston, and the Barrymoree. In reference to the allusion of Mr. Buckstone to his having so many irons is the Bre, be said that if he bad not known his friend Buckstone so well be should have supposed from his allu sion that he was an old washerwoman. (Cries of "oh, oh.") There were many sorts of irons, hut he (the chair maa) had away' avoided dat.irous, although he must coo ler that the Italian boom he had hail occasion to usc had bees rather hot to his Boger", and he had been a little scoreked by them. (Laughter.) Mr. Httoorse proposed "The Bar," which was responded to by Dr. likitros. Mr. CULLISFORD then read the list of donatioes. Amongst then were the Queen, 106/. ; L.' T.
