BOULLigE,keir 7. After a long intt.rval ot unenlivened dullness and earful our s English friends have been participating with the Fiench the animating excitements of a severely con• tested electi 'n for a new Deputy of the Arrondissement during the past week, occasioned by the Member last returned (M. Harle) having made his Diu for Arras, Where he had been also elected. On the first day, eight candidates started, no one of whom having obtained whit is called, and what the French Law of Election requires for the qualification of a SUCCOSatUi competitor, a treajoriti absoive i t And the election is repea.ed till such a result is obtained for three succeeding days. On the third scrutiny, the two leading opponents were put only, when M. Fontaine, the popular candidate on the Con. stituti..nal side, was returned by a decisive majority, thereby an. ihilating all hopes of the U•tras for the tutu' e at Boulogne, and insuring the extinction of the jesuiti. cal influence which had for the last two years been very Actively exciting itself fiir the retti-ratiou of the prisi. lige* of " the good old times;" amongst which, the re storation of the suppres-ed Bishopric of Boulogne vias. one in anxious contemplation. To add tb the excitement in which our gay country men here seem only to vegetate, the new Bi.hop of IC•1141oe (late Dean Ponsonny) has just aeturned to spend a Isttle-time with his intrtesting family booty their final depar ure for Ireland. His Lqrdship had been 'e•iden during the last year bete, with many other of i-is dis tinguistod compatriots of high rank and consideiatwn T..e Bishop is noted for his eloquence as a preacher, a g and p striotic specimen of uhich he had afforded the British residents the gratification of just before his, elevation to the mitre, in a strong arpeat to their sync I I pathy on behalf of their suffering countrymen in the iTison, many of whom are confined. even for )ears, lot debts, without the means of repayment. and the abso• lute want of necessaries, from which the accumulating costs of detention, frequently far exceeding the original' debt. prevents their extricating themselves; and ro afFird them the comforts of fuel. bedding, and other necessaries, was a main object of the venerable Picini**. teesing appeal—and which, it is almost needless to add, was not .addressed to a British audience without sub stantial ten imonies of its succes, f i. a. A majority on the entire number of voters; so that In the case as ►ere, of 490 electors, the returned candidate must gain 141 at least. THE ROYAL YACHT CLUB. The Members of this distinguished Club are deter mined to follow up the delightful pursuits for which it was formed, with even more spirit than usual in the coming season. All the yachts are nos fitting out with t.ie utmost dispatch, and it is said that the first trip of the Beet (for so it may be called) will be to Ireland, v:hithrr the Members have determined to accompany his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral, on his visit to the Marquis of Anglesey, upon his assuming the Vicer .yalty. This voyage performed, the Club will be engage., is pleasurable trips to various parts of the Continent, arid in trials of the speed of the le,pee ive vessels, preparatory to the Grand Regattas, which at the proper time will take t lace on various parts of tht coast. The Falcon, ship yacht, bel-ingii.g Lord Yarborough ; the Scorpi .n cutter. 112 tons, the Hon. Captais Greville; Sir T. A. Smith's Menat, 191 tons (considered one of the finest cutters ever bu the Coquette brig yacht; are all ready for sea, a. , d have made one or two experimental cruises. The East of Belfast has a fine cutler, of 139 tons, building at Cowes; and West, Eq. has another of 113 tons nearly finished at Lymington, built on the plan of Sir R Seppings's experimental vessels. The Earl of Belfast, as well as others of the most competent judges, are con fident in their anticipations that his Lordship's new cutter will carry all before her ; and she is already named as the favour its for the Champion Cup. to be sailed for at the Isle of Wight in the summer. Mr. Wilde,a very distinguished member of the Club, has, however, a cutter of the first class nearly finished. built after the plan of the Pearl. belonging to the Marquis of Anglesey, which has generally been deemed the fastest sailing vessel in the Royal Yacht Club, and he is equally sanguine in his anticipations of her superiority over every compe tutor. The matches, of which there will be several be tween these two vessels, will excite great interest. The yachts of the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Chesterfield, and Mr. Mersey, have just finished refitting, and will be at sea shortly. The Earl of Chesterfield's yacht the Therese, a cutter of 12S tons, is as beautiful a craft as ever swam, and is considered a perfect model of that class of vessels. She is commanded by George Fen nints, of Hastings, the oldest Captain in the Royal Yacht Club, and considered oue of the ablest managers of a fore•and•aft rigged vessel is the kingdom. He has sailed the Therese and the Scorpion in several successful matches. The Catholic Question is to come on positively this evening. Mr. BAOUGHAU last night, on presenting some Petitions. stated as much, assigning that as a reason for not making any remarks in support of them. Previously to presenting such Petitions, Mr. BaoocutAx aad Sir F. Boma&Ts (who brings forward the motion), were for some time in close and earilest conversation. Mr. G. BASIXII intimated that the discussion would last n nights. Mrs. HAMMAII Moat has ►emoved from her most beautiful residence, Barley Wood, to a house on Wind sor Terrace, Clifton. Mrs. Moos is now in the 84th I year of be{ le, and is is the eajoyasent of all her fa cohies, add so good health. THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. la, the Gland Musical Festival and commomo: .a•rm of the S n •f the Clergy, o• k „lace at Si. Pours C 'Shed at and att•acted an immense and splendid con -1:• egti. Mott in the ills of that edifice. l'he ant Sri• cboveh WAS att Anged got the accommodation of the lin P • Nobility, the Bishops, and Stevisrdy, in J &riot compartments, and at 11 o'clock the company commenced anteing; and alth , •ugh the arrangemi•nt . ..'ete tin Ise, it was almost impossible to prevent great c•.•ntesipt. by the rush of persons anxious to obtain con etti .itaations of hearing and seeing the imposing erens‘nies of .the day. The tollowins members of the Royal Family arrived before twelve o clock— - - - Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Clarence, Gloucester, and Cumberland; the Duchess of Kent and Princess Feeder*, Duchess' of Glom/ester, Prince George of Cumberland.—The Duke of, Gloucester acted as Steward. Among the rest of the company we observed tb* Lord Mayor, Aldermen. and Sheriffs, who came in state, Mr. Baron Vaughan; the' Earl of Dartmouth, and a number of the Nobility. Among the Dignitaries of the Church were, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York ; the Bishops of London, Winchester. Olos cepier, Durham, O*ford, Sodur and Man, Salisbury, Kuser, and several others ; the Prebendaries of Durham, St. Paul's, aad bury, and a crowd of Clergymen who occupied the area of the; Chinch, in full canonicals. The Comply were conducted to their places by the{ Stewards. a , liong whom we observed— Alexander Baring, M.P: F. G. Bucking Esteeort, Sir James Searlett, the Honourable Cecil Jeiskinson. M.P. Thos balm" Bay D.C.L. P.S.A. Master of Trinity College, bridge; Ben. Collins Brodie, Rsq. F,R.S. Colonel Clitheroe, the Lied Slmor. and Mr. Baron Vaughan. At Twelve o'Clock the Anniversary Sermon wa'. preached by the Reverend PRiLiP Nina°Las Suurrce wastrel, D.D. Warden of New College, Oxford. The Festival afterwards was proceeded with, and com menced with the Overture to Esther. The Instrumental Band was led by Mr. Covvoir Reeve. The Band con. sisted of the Royal Society of Musicians. Mr. ATTWOOD presided at the .Organ; and the Chorasses were con ducted by Mr. GRIATORM The Anthem was the c‘mposition of Dr. Buick. The Selections were entirely from the works of HAN aim, and consisted of his Te Deum, Dettingen, the 'Hallelujah; the. Jubilee, and Coronation Anthem. The music was most enchantingly executed, ani the Chi:mosses were grand and effective. We scarcely ever remember to have witnessed a more complete Orchestra. The ounaber of vocal and instrumental performers ex ceeded three hundred persons. The money collected at the doors is appropriated for the apprenticing and supporting the children of neces sitous Clergymen. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. Yesteiday the Annual Meeting of the Friends and Subscribers to the above Society was held at the Free masons' Liam, Lord TIIIIGNMoUTH in the Chair. The Meeti. g was most respect4bly ant numerously attend eJ, and amongst the persons of distinction we no iced the ashop of WINCIII2 TM. the Bishop of LIcHVIILD, Earl MARROW, Lo d CALTHORPZ, Mr. WiL.• Mauler, and Mr. 1. F. Buirroa. The SICIIZTAIti lead the Report for the past year, front whicn it appeared that the &vim bad distlibuted abroad, taunts tne last year, upwards of 4'2,000 Bibles and Testaments over the number distributed in the k recedii.g year, and that the amount of the receipts of the Society were pretty much upon a par with the years Weeding. The Report went into a mutt y of details, showing the active exertions making by the ascots 0( the Society in ill parts of the world, which gaire a most cheering description of the benefits con ferred upon the world by the digribution of the Scrip tore,. :Timm were at present no leis than G9l Branch Societies in conjunction with them; and, upon the ' whole, every department of the Society was in the most prosperous condition, though the Hibernian Society could not raise money suffi-itnt to meet the dem thd tor Bibles without receiving foreign aid. Tre number of copies of the Scriptures requited for Ireland was really a most cheering circumstance, and the Com mum had evinced every dispositiou to enable the Hi bernian S•ciety to meet the demand. Tut Earl of Hatirtowav then rose to move that the Report be p• lilted, and said, that it was not an uriin teresiing practice of the reports to embalm the mentor} of those men who hai exerted themselves in the service o - the Society. The 1V ble Earl then passed a high eu logium on tire memory of the Baron de Stael and of Bishop Heber, and said he nosed that their example would not be lost; and be hoped that as one generation of go 41 men passed away, they might be succeeded by men equally as virtuous and as zealous in the cause to which they were devoted. He thought it a most im portant circumstance that in Snuto America, where it was sup, used nothing could be done by the Society, they had in a great measure succeeded, and the Scrip times were finding their way in their purity amongst the inhabitants of that part of the world. In Sincapore Also a gri•at deal had been effected, and he trusted that in exchauge for their spices which they would send us from theist, they would be amply repaid by receiving that which was a pearl above all price--(Applause). The *Budrip of WltiellasTalt slid, that before the Re port made to the present Meeting, they had never any clear or satisfactory proof of the spirit in which the Scriptures had been received, for in former reports the apathy of the people had been complained of, which was.not the case now, so that they might presume that Gorr was with them in their labour of love—(Applaute). It was a most gratifying circumstance that upwards of 137,000 copies of the Scriptures had been circulated during the last year, a nd it w a s s till more gratifying that invariably they were received with demonstrations of thankfulness and joy. There WAS, however, still much to be done, and be would suggest the adoption of the word " Perseverance" as the counter sign of the Society ; to which he would also add " Vigilance ;" and then, doubtless, they would have the pleasure of wit nessing a large step made towards the accomplishment of the object for which the Society was instituted. He would detain them no longer than to second the motion for printing the Report. The motion was then put from the Chair, and agreed to unanimously. • The Bishop of LICHPIKLD proposed the next Resolu tion, and enlarged upon the severe attacks which had been given to the idolatry of Popery, to the tyranny of the Mahometan religion , and to,lhe ignorant prejudice of the Pagan, and said no time could be more appro. priate for the Society to step in than when education was fast dispelling those clouds which hitherto enchained such vast masses of our fellow men--(Applause).— Under these feelings he felt bound to echo the sentiment of a foreign Member of the Society (and he trusted the Meeting also would second that :sentiment) who said, " May my right 'hand forget its cunning it I ever sign my secession Irons this society: The Right Rev. Pi elate concluded by moving a Res.olution to the effect, that the.bbiaing of the DlstalTif should be continually cli matal in prbrooting the objects of the Society. Lord Cacittonts seconded the motion, and said he welcomed with thankfulac* the 'Ural which had been read, and he trostad tires thlt . bidilitionTh ark** p t.t sear w.nu.l:olse postitigo ferThe-tthe "opera t 0•-• be achieved 'VA so . int.tted yin." vAltranii 1 !•11 0 dr_ iiiedn. which were Used he tett that tit . ink should dand in the way otpiens o skritseemotts mitts*.

The Resolution was then put and carried. Mr. Wit.sertro we now rose amidst immense cheering. He said, That fie had once thought that he should never have appeared before them in that Hall, but he was glad that he was enabled to attend, for so long ak he was enabled to lift up his voice, he should do so in the cause of the ' British and Foreign Bible Society— (Cheers). He was glad to see in the Chair the Noble Lord before him in spite of his infirmities, and he was also pleased to see around him Statesmen out of place, as well as Governors out of Government—( laugh.) He thought so long as they retained any Owen at all, they should esert those pnwers in aid of our Holy Religion, and in defeating those agents of dark. ness whom the dissemination of the Scriptures would Annihilate. It was a curious circumstance, that in all religions an idea was entertained, that by mortification or a denial of some comforts, grace arid favour were to be band with the Divinity ; but in the Chiiscian Reli gion to enjoy was to obey—to enjoy with moderation and tbanklulnesi :The Roman Catholic Prela , es knew well what: they were doing when they prOhibited the reading of the S:riptures; btcause the reading of the Scriptures must have clearly di.placed the rotors into which that Church had 'fallen—(Cheers). He then moved that the cordial thanks of the Meeting be given to Lord Teignmonth for his unremitting attention to the objects of the Meeting. The Bishop of SODOR and MAN seconded the resolu tion, and prayed that the blessings of the Divistri might be showered on the N.ble Lot d's head during the remainder of his life, and that eternal happiness snight await him hereafter. The Right Rev. Prelate then enlarged upon the benefits to be cleaved from the Society, and said that if he wished to do away, with igno rance in any place, he would commence with a Bible S3ciety—if he Wished to allay animosity in a village. he would establish a Bible Society—in shot, if he wished to do any good work, he would commence by establishing a Bible Society.. He entreated that they would go to their respective neighbourhoods, and there endeavour to establish a Bible 6 ciety--(Cheers.),lf they wished to establish peace in lielAndi they would circulate the Bible there. They would effect more than Government itself could effect in a thousaiid.years— (Cheers.)—fi.st chi istiani ate tt le people, and they become at the same time civilized—(Cheers.) Mr. Wit.sensoncs then .put the motion, which was carted by acclamation. L rd MONMOUTH then shortly returned thanks, and professed his intention of adhering to the Society while he lived. Several other Gentlemen afterwards addressed the Meeting, when all the Resolutions were agreed to. GRAND FETE AT THE !WRNS TAVERN, KENNINGTON. The Fete at this Tavern, which hes for some time past excited so much attention, n. t only in Ve imme diate neighbourhood, but ge-lerally throughout the Metropolis, wits last night attended by as fashionable And brilliant a party as ever met on such a festive ucca. sion. The entrances to the rooms mumbled, by the elegance of their arrangements. arid the number of beautiful plants and flowers lining them, those bowers formed by the hand of Nature herself. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. J.nkins, who furnished and ar ranged them and the exotics. At the back of the orchestra, in the Ball-room, wits a fine specimen of the North American pine, brought from that country, and at either side was placed • one of those trees from which the Indian rubber is prriduced. Around the room, in different directions. and in's very tasteful manner, the most odoriferous shrubs and flowers were distributed. The room WAS lighted up by chats. delirrs. , • Passing the Ball-room, the neat in Order was the Refection Room, where refreshments were ptotridedi conbtsting of every variety bt trait, toifectwasny, and ices ; served, for the most part in gold Olt* and pre• senting a very handsome appearance. Next to the refection' room can the card 'rooms, adorned as the others with shrubs and floaters, and very handscyhely fitted up; and pa s sing datough the card rooms, the supper room present-d nseli, which was, in both senses of the word, tastefully laid out. The ar rangements were of the very first description, and do great credit to those Rader whose inspection they were made. About ten o'clock the company began to arrive.— Though it would :pot, perhaps, be exactly right to compliment the Gentlemen on their dress, vie cannot refrain from saying that all the Ladies showed, by the elegance, variety, richness, and yet simplicity of their costume, how much season we hsve for preferring our own countrywomen to others, and . /tow unfounded the charge made by foreignerkagainst us, of being blindly prejudiced in their favoar,is; The music was provided by Messrs.
