LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1860. LITERATURE. Life arid eorreepcodetwe of Chariest Mathews the Elder, Comedian. By Mrs. Mantissa A New Edition, abridged and condensed by Eontrie Yam. Routledge and Co. Mr. Yates has done good service to the present generation of readers, in presenting them with a work so full of pleasant gossip and curious informa tion in so convenient and readable a form. We have few good lives of celebrated actors and actresses—fewer oertainly than we might fairly ex pect from the national attraction of the subjeot. Murphy's "Life of Garrick" is a miserable per meagre and inaccurate to the last degree. The book is almost unreadable, indeed ; while any tolerably graphic, full, and accurate account of the great actor's career would necessarily have proved extremely interesting. Even Camp bell'a "Life of Mrs. Siddons," though in many respects a_good book , is by no means equal to the subject. The "Life of Charles Mathews," by Mrs. Mathewn, is, however, a thoroughCe resting biography from beginning to end. It esns • vivid picture of Mathews' character and the details of his every-day life and the particulars of his professional triumphs--sketches of the friends he loved, and the society in which he moved—in a word, a minute, humorous, and genial outline of his whole career. We need not sliv • "Dizi. however. Ink emits have been e:1y: farlrappr ll ecisZT by a generation of readers. We may, however, direct attention to Mr. Yates's short preface, in which he says a good word for the profession to which Mr. Mathews belonged. It has been, and still is, too much the fashion to despise the: actor and decry his profession, as ministering simply to the amusement and not to the instruction of mankind. But this condemna tion is far too sweeping to be restricted to the actor. It applies to all art, and if true at all must be brought against the poet, the sculptor, and the painter, as well as the actor. The direct aim of each is to please but the pleasure is of an im proving kind. ft guides and refines the taste, exercises the judgment, expands the more gene rous sympathies, and moves the heart. Acting is certainly not least amongst the arts that in this way tend directly to improve as well as to de light. Mr. Yates says : That I should entertain an affection for the drama, Its professo tad all things appertaining to it, is but materel : being th rs, e son of an actor, and, in the macho of my own pursuits, being constantly thrown among poesams counseled with the dramatic world, it mead be stream Weed if I were not animated by suck sentiment& Amsl, elesillei the mournful and constantly recurring wail of "dooline," - despite the ermines wbinings of the impotent, the ignorant, and the idle I firmly believe that thin feelings cosumem to • very large puoportionof the Esgliah nation, who would be ready to admit that a clever and earnest actor has a greeter hold upon their sympathies and as easier access to their inmost hearts them any man of equal basest in any other acknowledged prubasion. The following records prove that patience, enduranoe, honesty, hard work, and a stout heart under discouragement, are requisites f o r the histrionic aspi rant, as additions to his natural talent, without the posses sion of which none can evor hope to succeed. Constant study and a long coons of provincial training are almost es necessary to the actor as inborn genies. All modem examples go to verify this dictum ; and yet, became each year produces a certain number of uneducated young men, who gy to the stage as a last resoune, and who, having failed as tailors and grocers, fail more (timidly and more publicly as Claude lifel mates and Coalioe, we hear of nought but the decline of the drams and the degradation of its profusion ! A perusal of this volume will show that one of the proscribed nice was courted, admired, end re cognised b - S , the first and met brilliant men of the day, sot an a buffoon for their amusement, but as an equal sad • Mori. These words are generous, just, and seasonable. The book sparkles with witty anecdote, and is rich in materials for illustrating the social history ukthe last gsaarailas. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

ENLISTMENT JOE THE POPE IN IRELAND. The Limerick correspondent o/ Saunders' News Letter, writing on Tuesday, says: " A new light has been thrown upon the connivance now hob( practised by tho.o interested in the movement going forward throughout Ire land to augment the Pope's army. • secret system, well matured and systematically carried out. without danger of subjecting parties to the penalties of the Foreign &diet meut Act, is uow in full operation throughout Limerick, Cork, Clare, Tipperary, and Kerry, to induce the Roman catholic members of the consabulary to resign the force, with the ostensible object of emigrating to America or Australia, while in point of fact the real inten tion is to procure their sorrion for the Papal army, through the agency of clerical emissaries who are going about in disguise, unheeded and unsuspected by the authorith Even if they were recognised, and their acts publicly known, the law, according to Yr. Curdwell's statement, is not directly intended to reach them, as government has not issued any proclamation to that effect, the desire being merely to make known the terms of the statute to those in ignce of its provisions. This week sii.cen members of the City Limerick police have sent in notice of resig nation, setting forth that they are about to emigrate. In Clare, Tipperary, and Cork, the constabulary have done the robe, to the number of S5O within the last fortnight, and I have it from an authentic source, that most encouraging terms are being held out by men of influence and pro perty, whose intention it is to enrol themselves u leaders in the Papal Brigade of Irish Volunteers. The money to be paid to such of tie constabulary who join is set down at 161. a-head, with 4a. per day while in the Pope's service, and a guarantee that upon peace being restored to Rome, they be sent free to any place they wish to emi grate to.

A meeting, convened by Thomas Lloyd, Esq., Mayor, was held in the Town Hall, to-night, for the purpose of considenng the Reform Bill now before parliament. The Hall was crowded in every part, and the inmost enthusiasm prevailed. Mr. Bright was present, and on entering was received with loud and continued cheering. The MATOE4 having taken the chair, said—He had con vened the meeting upon a requisition more numerously and more respectably signed than perhaps any other previously presented to the chief magistrate of the borough. (Hear, hear.) It had proved to him that the people et Birmingham were sot lukewarm upon the great subject of reform, and it afforded him great pleasure to comply with the wishes of the requisitionists and afford them an opportunity of giving espresaion to their opinions upon the measure of reform lately introduced by the government. Although the meeting was convened for considering the Reform Bill be should nevertheless, with the eve sent of the meeting, permit a resolution to be pro posed relative to the peat and important event which had recently taken place in the Howe of Lords since the meet ing was contemplated, became it was a matter of grave im- portance for them to eeashiur how far the usage of two centuries in connexicm with their system of legislation should be - dear, hear.) The Mayor sae- Wien of apology for ate. attendance. Mr. Scholefield, M.P., atter regretting that a previous engegement would prevent his attendance, writes :—" The question of reform acquires double significance from the re. cent proceedings in the House of Lords. Never within my time at least has the House of Commons been called upon to sooner a Mete of things so momentous in a ocestitutional maim is that which has just arisen. I have no right to anticipate the decision of the committee which has been ap pointed to examine into precedents. That exammittee is nneseeptioaable in its composition, and I think the govern meet consulted what was due to the gravity and solemn importance of the circumstances when they moved for its appointment ; but I cannot help seeing that whatever may be the report of that committee, formidable difilcultlee, which it will require all the prudence and moderation of our best and wisest stateanen to overcome, are inevitable. If the report be adverse to the recent decision, the firmnees and patriotism of the House of Commons will be taxed to the utmost to maintain its privileges. If, on the other hand, the report should show that the House of Loris has done only what it had a technical right to do, then It is time that that right so rashly used should be taken away." Alderman BALDPIN moved the first resolution, as follows : "That, inasmuch as the government Reform Bill will 0011. ielerably extend the privilege of voting amongst the work ing dress, this meeting (whilst asserting the right to a more comprehensive measure, and especially regretting that it does not provide a lodger franchise) is of opinion that the hill is entitled to the cordial support of all friends of par liamentary reform." The resolution, having been seconded by the Rev. ISAMI Logo, was carried unanimously. Aldermen 11•WILR8 moved the second resolution, which expressed regret at the vexatious obstacles raised to hinder the progress of the Reform Bill, and earnestly urged upon parliament to proceed with the bill with all possible de 'latch. The speaker, in moving the resolution, said the present magnificent meeting was a sufficient answer to the tory press, which bad asserted that reform was dead In Birmingham, and that their representative, Mr. Bright, was becoming =popular with his constituents. Neither of those assertions was true, for the men of Birmingham were as great reformen as ever, and the reception they had given Mr. Bnitht that evening proved that ho retained their confidence. The meeting was then eilireased by Mews. Smith, Rad ford, and Beddow, working men, who denounced the language used towards the working amen by arta& num bers in bath fume* et gire p•ermist deletes upoll tte Reform mieltirms. Alderman LAWDIat then moved a resolution expressive of the confidence of the meeting in Messrs. Scholefield and Bright, and sympathising with the latter gentleman upon the calumnies which bad been heaped upon him. Mr. J. S. WRIGHT then submitted the following motion, which was seconded by Mr. Tyndal, and carried unanimously : —" That the present attitude of the House of Lords, and their avowed opinion., on the extension of the franchise, are calculated to excite the gravest apprehensions for the fate of the Reform Bill, Inasmuch as the recent rejec tion of an important measure of financial reform—contrary to usage after it bad paned the Commons and received the approval of the great body of the people indicates a deter mination to disregard not only the wishes of the people and the decisions of the Commons, but also the repeated pro mises of various governments, and this meeting therefore urges the government to use all constitutional means to maintain the privileges of the House of Commons, and to resist every encroachment upon the liberties of the people.° &LIMIT then rose at nine o'clock, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering and every other demonstra tion of respect ; after which, he said he supposed that there was not to be found within the confines of this island any man who would express a doubt as to the earnestness and fidelity with which the people of Birmingham had at tached themselves to the cause of parliamentary reform, notwithstanding that it was more wise of them to meet, and most wise for them to meet on that very occasion, be muse at • time of more interest to observant politicians than any that had pseud in the country for 30 years. He bad to thank them, and he did so on the part of his colleague and himself, for the resolution of approbation they had peened, and he wished to express that which he really felt, that of all the meetings he had attended in that ball since his connexion with the borough, the present gave to him the greatest pleasure, for he thought he had observed more earnestness and more resolution in the speeches delivered, and more deter mination in the great body of the meeting upon the subject of parliamentary reform, than he bad before witnessed at any previous assembly. Let them not deceive themselves, thinking that the battle in which they were engaged was likely to be quickly over. They had no doubt reed speeches which had been delivered during the present session, and they knew what was said, and how the question of reform had been treated in both houses of parliament. They knew there appeared to be • determinatiou to resist to the utmost point to which they dare, the concession of any further political rights to the people, and all that after many promises made by the leading men in the House of Commons. Whether they looked to the Treasury benches, or to those gentlemen who was anxious to place themselves I on them, they knew that there was not • man amongst them who was not pledged to an honest extension of the suffrage. They had hail not less than five governments, presided over by Lords Russell, Aberdeen, Derby, and Palmerston, and is those governments they bad *hided all the living race of those office holders who assumed to themselves and were presumed by the press to be the only statesmen in the country. (Cheers.) Now let them ask themselves what was intended by those promises, and to what extent were they promised tint the parliamentary fruchise should be extended. Why, they started from where they left off 'thirty years ago, when they placed the county franchise at 101., and the borough at 101. ; and really the borough fran chise bad worked so well, tha t the conservatives themselves were anxious to muerte it fur ever. (Laughter.) if they started where they left off thirty year ago, with • 101. franchise, which they now admitted worked so well, why should they not now proceed with some rapidity, and esta blish • thorough, good, substantial reform, rather than be perplexing themselves with all sorts of crotchety fran chises, thoroughly unsuitable to the requirements of the people? Why not start from • solid basis, and maintain that great truth, that there were mil lieu of intelligent, industrious men in England, raphis of discharging the duties of citizenship. One gemillsome who had addressed them that evening had said that there was decided improvement amongst the people, sad meth as ha his judgment qualified them for the exercise of political rights ; and there could be no doubt such was the case. There had been a great increase of intelligence, and an enormous Leman of wealth, arising from the extraordinary industry of the people. There was increased morality, and in all directions there was to be seen manifested a marked improvement annoapt the masses, mud yet, notwithstanding all that, there were those to be fumed who eetretalead ro metteetrehle ea opiates of the I (Stamped id. Additional.) people as to deem them unworthy to be trusted with the franchise. When government proposed to give them • six pound franchise they should remember that that only in cluded those who paid seven pounds per year rent, so that if the landlord pad the rates it would be reduced below the six pounds yearly value. It would stand thus—when the man went before the revising barrister to claim he would be asked who paid the rates, and on being told the landlord, then would come the calculation—a two shilling poor-rate would amount to 14a., and one shilling borough rate, to 75., making the rates twenty-one dulling'. The barrister, turning to the law, would then say the 21s. reduced the rental to 5/. 195., which excluded the applicant from the vote. (Cries of " Shame !") In saying that he did not wish to make them dissatisfied with the proposition of the government, but to show them how greedy insulting and how unjust the language was which bad been used with reference to this class for whom they had been legfalating. He would therefore say, if they did not get a bill with as low • franchise sa that now proposed, they would do nothing towards opening the door to the working classes through the medium of the franchise. If the government passed • Lill one hair's-breadth less ad vantageous than that now proposed it would only be a cheat on the people, unsettle the population, and destroy what faith sti3 remained in those who were considered the lead- ing men of the country. Now for one or two facts, for they were difficult things to deal with. When the census should be petai•herl ne.et pose, it wail Amer eaves voillious at malt men 1* Great 'Blinn sad Ireland, and they knew that only one million out of that number exercised the right of voting; there were in point of fact twenty-five million of the population excluded from the electoral fru- ' chime, and what was the extent to which the present go vernment measure would go, and which certain parties is the House of Commons were trying to defeat? Why, it would add •• hundred and fifty thousand county electors in England and Wales. In the boreues perhaps as many mere, and adding 50,000 for Scotland and Ireland, the whole increase would may be 350,000. If they liked be would minim* that these would then be two rail. lions of the population represented, and that would still leave 23 millions unrepresented. What was the govern. meat niessure? Why, they found six millions of men who had no votes. They proposed to give 350,000 of them the franchise, including amongst thou selected what they con sidered the cream of the class which they intended to bane. fit. Mr. Bright then went on to describe the growing in. tang' mice and merit of the class of men whom the govern ment proposed to enfranchise, and proceeded to say that notwithstanding all their former promises, end all their calculations, Lord Derby and his ;arty in the House of Lords and House of Commons were telling them, telling each other, and telling the country through their press, that the present bill was really • very dangerous and revolutionary measure. (Inughter.) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to criticise the speeches of Mr. Disraeli, Sir E. L. Bulwer, and others who opposed the Reform Bill, and vindicated the working classes in most emphatic terms from the aspersions cut upon them by various members of parliament ; and having urged the necessity of increased union and activity amongst the reformers, with a view to the final carrying of the measure, he proceeded to the consideration of the rejec tion of the Paper Duties Bill. If it wan desirable that they should have a representative body, it was not less desirable that its functions and powers should be in no degree impaired; and such had been their expectation, when suddenly new difficulties had sprung up. The question now put to them was this—Were they, the men of Birmingham, willing to swept new masters? (Cries of " No, no.") No man living had ever seen the people's power thus usurped. No man weld say he remembered the day when the House of Lords bad levied a tax upon this great free English nation. It was for the year 1860 to witness this monster make its appearanee, and it would be de to put such • ban upon it that ' Again appear, there could not be • did the no ~7•i poplar' strong terms the conduct of • portion of the press—et head of which stood the hmee—with reference the subject, They were aware that at the mo ment when the Lords were endeavouring not to recover • power which they had ever lost, but to obtain • power hostile to the House of Commons and the liberties of the country. The immediate repeal of the paper duty would put into the coffers of the Tuna some 25,0001. • year, but the competition would compel the Times to reduce its price, which would ultimately prove a greater loss. The repeal would at once Impart new life and vigour to the penny papery. They would become the great staple reading of the people, and the day would not be far distant when they would lad • daily paper in the cottage of every poor man in England. They would find the cheap press competing with the dear press, and especially against that newspaper which was at that moment selling the dearest interestsof its country for its own private advantages. 4 Loud cheering.) In conclusioa, he said it mu; not until the ministerof the daythreeAened the Lords with a new creation of peen by the crown and the people, and with something worse out of doors, that some of them absented themselves from the House of Lords, and allowed the measure to pass. It required all the influence of the late Sir R. Peel and all the horrible effects of a famine in Ireland to induce them to abandon the cora laws ; and be hoped they would find them on the present occasion still obstinately determined to act against the principles of the constitution and the will of the nation. It would, indeed, be a fatal day for England if the Lords were to assume to themselves a power they did not possess, and meddle with those rights for the viudicstion of which their forefathers would have shed the last drop of their blond. The hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst loud cheering. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAYS-INN-ROAD. Yeeterday evening the anniversary festival of the Royal Free Hospital took place at the Frecanneoure Tavern ; Lord Lawn, in the unavoidable absence of the Duke of Wellington, in the chair. The Noble Chairmen was sup gig4by some 150 gentlemen, &room whom were General tl, General Watkins, Captain Hey, R.N. , Rev. J. B. Owen, Dr. Marsden, Dr. Bristow, Dr. Hama% Dr. Cockle, Mr. Thos. Wakley, Mr. Juts. Robinson, Dr. O'Connor, a physician to the hospital, and honorary physician to the Irish Volunteer Corps, at whose instance a num ber of that body were protest, including Mr. M. J. O'Connell, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Hamilton °ode, Mr. Hodges, &c. The peculiar features of this insti tution cannot be too frequently brought before the notice of the public. Previously to the founding of this hospital there was no medical establishment in this metro pohs where the destitute stranger, when overtaken by sick. ness or disease, could find an asylum for his immediate re ception. In 1827, certain st riking circumstance; induced Mr. William Marsden, surgeon, w ho had been struck with the difficulty and danger arising to poor from the system of requiring letters of recommends. tion before admission to the public hospitals, and of having only appointed days for admission, to take steps which re suited in the founding of the present hospital, the prinoi• plea of which are, as regards in-door patients that foreign ers, strangers, and others, in sickness or disease, having neither friends nor homes, are admitted to the wards on their own application, so far as the means of the charity will permit. And as regards out-door patient, all sick and diseased persons, having no other means of obtaining relief, may attend at this hospital every day at one o'clock, when they will receive medical and surgical advice and medicine free. During each year great numbers of the destitute sick are received on their own application into the wards of the hospital ; and gime it foundation, in 18214, up to the 31st December, 1859, no less than 6410,441 patients have obtained relief by its means. In the past year the usefulness of the charity has kept pan with the extension of its means (which it may be said in passing are far from adequate to the requirements of the innitution), the returns exhibiting an increasing ="is the number both of In and out pa the number of in-pationta being 1,083, and of oatiationts, 40,2110; making • grand total of 41,353 as. of destitute siokneas were more or lees relieved.

Bat when he cast his eye over the existing state of the world, he believed there never was a moment when inch a toast was so appropriate as at present. (Hear, hear.) Never win the feeling of the necessity of a closer and name intimate union between civil and religious liberty so strong as it was now. The French revolution had shown that , no ideas of liberty, how evek pure, no social,aniirataens however. beuesoleuto could end in the permanent welfare of mankind when divorced from the deep and universal convictions of religion, and it was because he recepieed in the writing and teaching of such men as Maxami and Kossuth an aide tone, which admitted the connexion between social progress and the great truths of religion, that he had faith in the ultimate destiny of humanity. (Cheers.) All the movements of mankind *ere more or less connected with religion. ln Hungary the people felt the want of a deeper and more spiritual religion than ROOlllll catholicism could produce. It might nut be their form of religion in which that movement would end, but thatit would mini some deep and vital form of religion he could not for • moment doubt. The condition& Northern Italy was tell of promise, and lie hoped that. the result of the struggle which was going on in Southern Italy would end in the establishment of civil and religious liberty . there also. He could not but recollect that some five or six cen tur:eo ago Frederick IL, the greatest of the Hobenstanfens, and the reputed though not the real author of the "Liber Trium Impostorum , established in South Italy a univer shy to which the Arab and the Muneulman were free to come and to be educated. But the state of things was very different now in the kingdom of the Two Siohes. It had not maintained the point to which it bad arrived some five centuries ago. (Hear, hear.) Then, turning to America, what a fearful struggle was going on there ! In that soil of freedom and democrecy princi ples of slavery were incalotted anti enforced which, if carried out to thew logical ooncluaion, must end in re establishing the doctrines which Washington anti their forefathers struggled to abolish. (Hear, hear.) And speak ing of America, ha mold not forbear to remark on the loss they sustained in the death of Theodore 0 - - • r , who, '• he could r , 10 in all the sentir- • prated ••• be a British and Foreign Uz;itailian Association. May it be a bond of union, light but strong, to the liberal churches of Greet Britain and Ireland, and may it be strengthened to diffuse the knowledge of Christianity both at home and abroad." The Rev. R. B. ARPLAND returned thank' in an appro. priiate and fervid tich. The CHAIRMAN t en proposed the spread of Christianity in heathen lamb, coupling therewith the name of Sir J. Bowring. Sir J. BowffiNo, in replying, detailed some of his expe rienoes abroad, and remarked that if Christianity was to make its way amongst heathen people, it must not come to them in the shape of menaces or prejudiees, in which form it would be rejected, but as • good and wise principle, in which form it would make its way to hearts that would willingly receive it, and to lips that would as willingly diffuse it.

The fifty-fourth anniversary of tho setablialment of this unique and most valuable institution was celebrated yesterday evening by a dinner at the London Tavern. Lord tauterog presided, and amongst the compuy were seve ral distingiushed foreigners resident in London. The visitors included Count Platen, Swedish Minister, Mr. J. Le. bendier°, Baron Dwain M. de la Rive, Swiss envoy, 2d. J. Goirehen, Rev. Dr. Cap ella, itc. About 150 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The usual preliminary touts having been given with great felicity by the noble president, and duly acknowledged, has lordship proceeded to advocate the muse of the society. The institution, he said, had existed for half a century, and had relieved upwards of 100,000 foreign ers. A peat number of foreigners resorted to this country, and when through illness or casualty they were unable to labour, it was only to societies like this they could look for relief. If we looked into our arts and manufactures throughout their whole range, we /should find that there was not one of them in which we were not indebted to foreigners for some valuable improvement.. It was therefore our duty to see that those foreigners to whom we owed so much should not be left helpless when, through illness or old age, they could no longer help us by their ingenuity. Another claim which this societ v had on the elsaritahk was, that all its funds were so judiciously dim pleased. They were absorbed by pensions, which he was l i sorry to say were not numerous, end by occasional relief yen foreigners at their homes. With regard to the 1 he believed that increased means could be usefully disposed of ; but at the wine time he was glad to know that the institution was must liberally endowed. He trusted that the liberal donation of 500 d. which had been made this veer would successfully inaugurate the fund of which it was intended to be the foundation. Subsequently to the address of the chairman a list of subscriptions was read by the Secretary, which, with the collection at the table, made the financial results of the year amount to 2,060/. The musical arrangements, which were under the direction of M. Jules Benedict, were of unique excellence. The singing of a German lied and serenade by MM.. Jenny Meyer, in particular, elicited enthusiastio applause. lir. Hine was the toastmaster.
