BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee.

CASSE. fie plaintiff is a professor of singing and an in • structor of young ladies who are about to appear o tage, and he had acted in that c ap ac ity i n a‘ ce to Miss Clara St. Casse. H e now c l a i me d ‘• • • itt i ° of money said to be d ue i n re f erence t o t ha t t saction. 4Ar. Honyman and . Mr. Murphy appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Vaughan Williams for the Indant. a the 12th of September, 1857, an agreement entered into by which it was arranged that plaintiff should instruct Miss St. Casse for f our years in music and singing, and that when she was sufficiently advanced he should make engagements for her and receive half her salary. The prethium paid was £4O. In June, 1858, the defendant was introduced to the plaintiff, and afterwards lodged and boarded in the plaintiff's house. The plaintiff in the course of his instruction took the Lyceum fo one night, and brought Miss St. Casse out there. Ono item of claim against the defendant was for £5 9s. for tickets for this concert, another was £2 Bs. sd. for travelling expenses for some performers m reference to a theatrical performance at Ports mouth. There was also £l7 14s. for board and lodging, and the balance of the whole account was agreed at £l2 19s. 50. On the 30th of Ju1y,1859, the plaintiff made an engagement for Miss St. Casse at the St. James's Theatre, the salary to com mence at £6 a week. On the Ist of October fol lowing the defendant and Miss St. Casse presented themselves to Mr. Kingsbury, and informed him that they were man and wife. Subsequently the defendant declined to pay half the salary which had been earned by:his wife to the plaintiff, and £9 was now claimed on account of the three weeks' salary. This, with, £l2 19s. 5241., made the total claim £23 16s. kid. The plaintiff had originally pressed his claim in the Westminster County Court, but the" defendant had removed it by certiorari into the superior court, upon the ground that important questions of law were involved in the dispute. On the part of the defendant it was stated that the important question in the cause was whether the deed of June, 1858, was binding upon Miss St. Casse and her husband: and it was submitted that the deed was wholly invalid. That document said that Mr. Kingsbury should receive the salary, and should pay half of it to Miss St. Casse's father; and this, it was contended, was not a stipulation for the benefit of Miss St. Casse, and would not bind her, sh 2. being an infant when she signed the deed. Further, Miss St. Casse had not bound herself to serve the plaintiff. Mr. - Justice Willes said he could not conceive how the deed could not be binding upon the par ties to this action. It was further stated that the Portsmouth specu- lation was a joint affair between the plaintiff and the defendant, and that there were some items in connection with it that the defendant was entitled :o set off against the plaintiff's claim. The defendant was called in support of his case. Mr. Justice Willes said he did not know whether the plaintiff wanted to keep this deed in terrorem over Mrs. Graham's head • but he thought that the end should be that the plaintiff should recover all his claim except the £9, and should give up the deed. He thought that this would be a handsome and creditable course for the plaintiff to pursue. Some discussion took place, which resulted in his lordship's suggestion being adopted. Mr. Justice Wiles said he thought that Mr. Kingsbury had behaved in a very handsome man ner, and he should certify for costs. Verdict for the plaintiff, by consent, for £l2 9s. 50.

Mr. Millett, an active officer of the Inland Re venue, said he went with some constables to No. 10, America-street, Southwark-bridge-road, and having gained possession of the house, he found a large still in full operation. There were 10 barrels full of molasses, mash, and about six gallons of spirits. The still was capable of working off 30 or 40 gallons. Mr. Wm. Moore, an inspector of the M division, said he went with the last witness to the house in question, and seized the still. They had a difficult task, as the house was blockaded. Sergeatt Garden, the acting inspector at the Stonesend police•station, said he accompanied Mr. Moore and captured the prisoners. The still was regularly built up, and had been carried on for some time. The prisoners said that they were hired by another party to work the still. They were sentenced, however, to pay a fine :of £3O, or three months' imprisonment. They were locked up in oletault. WANDSWORTH.—IMPORTANT TOWATERMEN. Mr. Day man gave a decision in a case of some im portance to the watermen of the river Thames. Thomas Doyck was summoned by Alex. Phelps, a watermaa, for navigating a barge, he not being a freeman, Sze. The question turned upon whether the Western barges are exempt under the new act. It appeared that, under the old act of Parliament, all barges which traded above Kingston, and what were called Western barges, were privileged from employing licensed watermen, and it was contended that the new act did not interfere with those privi leges or licences: On the part of the Watermen's Company it was argued. that the act had extended the jurisdiction, and the Western barges were now bound to em ploy licensed men. Mr. Dayinau decided in favour of the complain• ant, and fined the defendant a nominal penalty of 6d. with 7s. costs. it was agreed that a case should be submitted to the Court a Queen's Bench, for the decision of the judges on the question. Wo are requested to state that the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Crimean memo rial at Chatham, which was to have taken place to day, has been postponed. The Duke of Cambridge has accepted the invitation to lay the stone, but the day on which the ceremony will take place has not been definitively fixed. The whole of the officers of the Royal Engineers now serving in Great Britain and Ireland will have invitations forwarded them to be present at the ceremony, which will probably take place on the Ist of March. THIS UNLUCKY NATIONAL GALLIERY.—From its first conception to the present time, no building has ever been a more lively subject for public criticism than this unlucky National Gallery. Foil'. Mr. Wilkins, the archi tect, was sorely perplexed with conditions. The building was not to intercept the view of St. Martin's portico ; it must not infringe on the bLrrack space in the rear; the public must have one right of way through it, and the Guards another; the old columns of Carlton House were to be used up ; and true faith in architecture insisted on having porticos, dome, and cupolas ' - moreover, the build ing, by no mean s t oo l arge f or a National Gallery, was to be shared with the Royal Academy. With such instruc tions Mr. Wilkins prepared his plans and estimates. The building was to cost £50,000, but no architect is to bebound by his estimate ; and, judging from late instances, the public got well out of this job in having to pay only £76,867. The structure was scarcely occupied before it was discovered to be much too small. The National Gal lery had no space to display its additional purchases and bequests, and the Royal Acathimy found itself obliged to close its schools of art whenever its annual exhibition was open. For these inconveniences Parliaments and Govern ments have been for nearly twenty years trying to find a remedy.—Cortihill Magazine for March. _ _ [ADVERTISE3IENT.]—Notice. — In consequence of Messrs.

Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) COLONEL DICKSON Y. COLONEL WALKER.-LIBEL. This was an action brought by Lieutenant-Colo nel Latham Dickson ' formerly of the Line, and latterly of the Tower Hamlets Militia, to recover damages against Colon e l W a lk er , far a libel published by that officer in Colburn's Unidecl Ser vice Magazine, and complained of by the plain tiff, as reflecting upon his honour and credit as a gentleman, and as calculated to injure his reputa tion in the estimation of his friends, unless retracted and atoned for. The incidents of the action were similar in all respects to those which formed the ground .of the action brought some time ago by the plaintiff against the Earl of Wilt on , in which the jury, after several days spent in trying the case, gave a ver dict for the plaintiff. The defendant in the present action pleaded, first, not guilty; and, secondly, that the libel was true in substance and in fact, and upon those counts the parties joined issue. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Milward conducted the case for the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice said, as ho understood the matter, Lieut.-Col. Dickson did not owe any thing to the mess now, he having paid up every thing that was due by him. The whole case was very lamentable and very painful, and it was much to be regretted that in a matter which had already been publicly tried and disposed of, Lieut.-Colonel Dickson's name was again dragged before the public. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said imputations had been cast, in a military publication, upon the cha racter and credit of Lieut.-Col. 'Walker and his brother officers, and hence it was that he wrote the letter in question. The Lord Chief Justice—The regiment was sud denly disembodied, and there were liabilities due by the officers to Lord Wilton, which they might not have felt themselves in circumstances to settle at the moment; but they did not say that, and in• stead of saying that they threw the whole blame upon Lieut.-Col. Dickson. He really thought there could be no difficulty in finding some other and amicable way to settle the matter than that which was now being pursued. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he would not for a moment oppose any honourable course calculated to settle the differences between those gentlemen. Mr. Edwin James said he was ready to agree to any course worthy of the character and position of Lieut.• Col. Dickson, and of a nature to extend to him that just meed of redress to which he ' was entitled. The learned counsel then conferred together, and ultimately left the court for the purpose of more freely discussing the terms of settlement. On their return into court, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he need scarcely acknowledge that he received with great pleasure his lordship's intimation that it was desirable to settle this matter in a fair and friendly spirit, and his intimation that he felt anxious that justice should be awarded between those two gentlemen, who were both meritorious officers ; and he thought it would be conceded by every one who heard the trial as far it had gone that Lieut.-Col. Walker had been very seriously injured in his feelings, and that he had no intention to impute anything to Lieut.-Col. Dickson of a nature calculated to bring iiiaredit upon him in connection with the affairs of the regimental mess. But great provocation had been given to Lieut.-Col. Walker. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn—l do not under stand what you mean, Brother Ballantine. I think the words in this libel are capable of being inter preted by gny one, as casting an imputation upon the honour of Lieut.-Col. Dickson. I understood you, in your defence of Lieut.. Col. Walker, to say that that gentleman had no intention to cast any imputation upon L i eut.-Col. Dickson ; but, finding that you are not now entirely and satisfactorily withdrawing all imputation upon that gentleman, I consider that, in the functions which I have to discharge, it becomes my duty to endeavour to bring about a proper understanding between those two gentlemen. Now, if you are disposed to with draw all imnutation of a nature calculated to throw discredit upon Lieut.-Col. Dickson, I think the matter ought to be amicably settled. As to whether Lieut.-Col. Dickson had been injudicious or indis creet is a matter of opinion, upo-.2 which every one might hold his own view. The only object he had in coming into court was to v!ndicate his character and honour; and I am sure that Mr. James will readily assent to any arrangement that can lead to that result. Mr. James—Pl assure your lordship that that is what Lieut.-Colonel Dickson has in view; and I can state, with reference to the publication corn _Plained,sif-by Lieut.-Colonel Walker, that Lieut.- Colonel Dickson had nothing whatever to do with it. I trust, my lord, that the " treaty of amity" which your lordship has recommended, will be car ried out in all its integrity. Lieut.-Colonel Dickson is willing to accept a verdict with 40s. costs. The Lord Chief Justice—A verdict with merely nominal damages, all imputations upon Lieut.-Col. Dickson being withdrawn, and there being not the slightest stain upon that gentleman's character. Verdict accordingly. The parties on either side then left the court, accompanied by their respective friends. SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Cromliton and a Common Jury.) . EDWARDS V. OSBORNE.-EXTRAORDINAUY CHARGE OF LIBEL. This was an action for libel, and was brought by he plaintiff, a surgeon, residing in the neighbour hood of Kingston, near Bromley, Kent, against the defendant, a farmer, living in the same locality. The circumstances which gave ris3 to the alleged libel were of an extraordinary nature. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is about 32 years of age, was in the habit of attending upon Mrs. Osborne, who is 54 years of age. He drove to her house in the month of June, 1857, in a gig, accompanied by his brother, a clergyman. The visit was paid in con sequence of a request that he should call upon Mrs. Osborne, who was suffering from the effects of a bad leg. He remained only about five minutes in the house, during which time it was alleged by Mrs. Osborne that he dragged her into the passage, and that he had illicit intercourse with her against her will, although she struggled to oppose his purpose. The plaintiff, after committing the alleged outrage, joined his brother in the gig, and drove off. Mrs. Osborne, however, did not mention the circum stances to any one for nine months afterwards, when she told her husband, and when the plaintiff was subsequently paying a profes s►ional visit to the defendant's wife, the defen dant taxed him with the commission of the offence in question. The plaintiff denied the charge. He, however, admitted that he had made a.special examination of Mrs. Osborne on the occa sion in question, in consequence of her having in formed him that she was suffering from a rupture; that he had only employed his hand in the course of the examination, and that the supposition that he had taken advantage of the occasion to act im properly towards Mrs. Osborne was a mere hallu cination on her part, as well as her belief that she was in the family way by him. So the matter stood until last year, when the defendant told what his wife communicated to him respecting the plain tiff to the clergyman of the parish, whose wife the plaintiff was attending in her confinement. The clergyman, therefore, called upon the plaintiff to explain the matter; and as the charge obtained circulation in the neighbourhood, the plaintiff was obliged to bring this action for the purpose of clear ing his character of the imputation thus cast upon it. The plaintiff was examined, and denied, in the most positive terms, that there was any truth what ever in the charge made against him by Mrs. Os borne, and attributed the story to hallucination, arising from the state of her health, which was peculiar to females of her age. Other witnesses, medic dand others, wer3 exa mined in support of the plaintiff's case. The for mer deposed that the mode of examination adopted by the plaintiff towards Mrs. Osborne, in reference to the rupture, was a right one, and that it was no uncommon circumstance for a female of the age of Mrs. Osborne to be afflicted with the peculiar hal lucination attributed to her by the plaintiff. Mrs. Osborne, on the other hand, appeared in the witness-box, and gave evidence -in support of the defence. She deposed that what she told her husband about the plaintiff was correct, that she was not suffering from any hallucination on the subject, but the whole story was true from begin , ning to tile end. Mr. Sergeant She, then stated the case for the defendant, urging that he, had acted bona fide, fully believing the truth of his wife's statement, which would be established new by her evidence. Mrs, Amy Osborn, the'defendant's wife, deposed as follows :—Mr. Edwards was attending me for a bad leg in July, 1837. When he came upstairs he asked me for the lotion, and I went upstairs to fetch it. When I came downstairs he pulled me along the passage. The witness here described, in terms us& for publication, the committal of the alleged act of violation, and proceeded to say : The defendant told me not to call out, as somebody would hear me. He afterwards went away, and said :he would 'send the lotion. I did not say anything. I did not tell my husband on his return what had happened. I did not like to say anything about it. A month after this happened Mr. Ed wards came to me and asked me how I was. I said, " Better, thank you." He said, " You are getting quite fat. You are in the family way." I men tioned nothing to my husband until the 3d of March. In the latter end of February I took ad vice from Mrs. Parslow, an old friend of mine. On the 3d of March, 1838, I told my husband Mr. Ed wards called on the following Friday. On the 2d of March Mr. Edwards called on me. I told him he had hurt my feelings very, much—that he had told me I was in the family way ; and he asked me if I would allow him to examine me. He said, " I can't tell anything about it with your clothes on. I will call again and see you in bed, for I can not tell unless you have your stays off." It was on the next day, Wednesday, I told my husband. Mr. Edwards called on the following Friday, #nd I said, " Mr. Edwards, I-have told my husband." He said, "It was in September, was it not P" I sa:d, " No ; it was in July :" and he said," It is not I who have injured you." My husband then came in, and I left the room. Shortly afterwards, my husband called me in, and said to me, " Did Mr. Edwards interfere with you P" and I told my husband what Mr. Edwards had done, in Mr. Ed wards presence. Mr. Edwards said ho knew he had done wrong, and that he had interfered with my husband. No more passed. My husband then took him by the collar and shook him. He told my husband not to strike him, and my husband called him a blackguard. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l had a rupture for several years. I have never had me dical attendance for it. Mr. Edwards did not at- tend me for it. The plaintiff nothing to me before he used this violence. I resisted him as much as I could. I called out as loud as I could. He told me not to make a noise, as somebody would hear me, and I was then quiet, but I said to him, " Get away, do." Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you know that he drove up in a gig on that day P The witness here gave an answer she had given several times before during the cross-examination —" I can't hear you, sir, at that distance ; I am too much flurried." She was then placed on the floor of tho court near the learned sergeant, who again put the same question. Witness—No, he walked past the house. My house adjoins other hsuses. I wish I had scratched his eyes out, but I was too flurried. I had told Mrs. Bowyer, my cousin, what had happened. Bowyer called on me, and began to laugh. He asked me to allow him to examine me. He put his hand on my petticoat, and said it was no such thing, and made a sort of laugh about it. lam 54 years of age. Mr. Edwards told me two or three times afterwards I was in the family way, and on one oc casion I said, " You great stupid, you." (Laughter.) It was enough to make me say so. I never told Mary Griffin to tell Mr. Edwards that I wanted 2.ITE NAVY.

The screw steamship Brunswick, 80, Captain E. Ommanney, got up steam in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday, and proceeded to Devonport Dockyard to be dismantled. Her sails were unbent, top gallant masts struck, and running gear unrove the same day. The screw steamship Sanspanil, 70, Capt. Wil mot, C. 8., got up steam in Hamoaze on Wednesday, and, proceeding round the Breakwater, anchored in the Sound. On passing the Impregnable, she salUted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds. Admiral-Superintendent Sir Thomas Pasley, Admiral Kingcome, and other officers, were on board. The crew of the screw steamship Centurion, 80, Capt. Rodgers, C. 8., at Plymouth, were paid wages on Tuesday. The gunboats Lark and Shamrock were put out of No. 2 dock, at Keyham steamyard on Wednes day, and the surveying steamer Porcupine, 3, and the gunboat Redwing were taken in. The Ariadne, screw 26-gun frigate, Capt. E. W. Vansittart, got under weigh yesterday at Spit head, and proceeded t 3 the trial ground in Stokes Bay, in charge of Capt. George F. Gordon, commandingP the steam reserve at Portsmouth, to test her speed with her altered pr - Teller, at the measured mile, under the supervision of Mr. J. Dinnen, Admiralty Inspector of Machinery Afloat, and Inspectors Murdoch and Miller, of her Majesty's dockyard. Six runs were made at the measured mile, and gave a mean speed in knots per hour of 13.078, the maximum being 15.254, the greatest. speed at tained in a single run at the measured mile by any of her Majesty's ships, with the exception of the Royal yacht. Mean revolutions of engines, 611 ; pressure of .stgam in guage, 21 horses ;. vacuum,- - 23A- ; temperature in engine-room, 64; on deck, 48; force of wind at the commencement of trial, 2, in- creasing to 21 as trial proceed -4 ; direction, E,S.E.; diameter of screw, 20 feet; itch, 25 feet. De scription of screw.—Maudslay's application of the common screw with the blade, attached to the boss on their principle of adjusting the pitch at a range of from 25 to 30 feet, the sides of the blades being nearly parallel, and on this trial with the leading corner of each blade cut off, in order to arrive at a comparative result with the trial of January 12, when the screw was tested in its ori ginal form. On that occasion the trial gave the ship a speed in knots of nearly 121—nearly a knot less than on the present occasion. The vibration of the ship during the present trial was very trifling, less than has been yet experienced in any ship of the same power, and the trial as a whole may be considered most satisfactory. The machinery worked admirably throughout. The Atiadue is one of the "monster" class of frigates, as they have been termed, and is, as we before stated, one-twelfth less tonnage than the Mersey, and one-fifth less power of engines. Her armament is of the same description, carrying 24 10 inch guns of 84 cwt. each on her main deck, and two solid shot 95 cwt. 8-inch pivot guns on her upper deck, with plenty of room on the latter for eight of Armstrong's heaviest guns in addition. On her main deck, from the under pat t of her upper deck beams to the deck, she measures 6 feet 7 inches, and averages 16 feet 6 inches in the clear between the sides of each port, affordinr , ample room for her men at quarters. Under full power of steam she carries a much less body of water under her bows than the Mersey does, is bolder in her form of bow, and cleaner in her after body than that ship, doing her work with much greater apparent ease. Her tuck is, however, said by many competent judges to be still too full for the free admission of the water to her screw, but this, with ships carrying to powerful an arma ment as our Merseys and Ariadnes, cannot perhaps be wholly 'waled. The paddlewheel steam storeship Rhadamanthus, 11. R. Sturdee master, from Woolwich and Ports mouth, with supernumeraries and machinery, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday, and was placed in Keyham basin. When her freight is discharged she will proceed to Pembroke with riggers sea men, and spars to bring the How e t o Plymouth. The Dee, paddle storeship, Master-Cammander Pullen, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, with boilers and machinery. The Bacchante, 51, screw, has been removed from the steam basin at Portsmouth, and berthed along side the Victorious hulk, in the harbour. She will make her contractor's trial of her machinery, &c., on Monday next. The Bullfinch, screw gunboat, Lieut.-Commander James, at Portsmouth, was yesterday engaged on trial of a private screw propeller, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The Argus, screw Coastguard vessel, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday, for the westward. Lieut. Algernon C. F. Hencage, RN., has been appointed Flag .Lieut. to Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Henry Keppel, K.C.8., Commander in-Uhlef on the Cape of Good Hope station. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Jobn Kellock, master to the Hogue ; and Robert Madge, first-class assistant engineer to the Fisgard, for charge of the machinery of the Griffin. The chartered East India troop ship Theresa, 705 tons, Commander Kennedy, arrived at Grave send yesterday from Calcutta, with about 300 troops on board from the various regiments in India whose terms of service have expired. Between the 15th and 20th instant 95 men have volunterred into the line from the Royal Dublin Militia, quartered in the Citadel, Plymouth, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Musters. A CONGRESS OF 81111-BUILDER A series of meetings of shipbuilders and of gen tlemen interested in naval architecture will be held in London next week—on Thursday, Friday,.and Saturday, the Ist, 2d, and 3d of Mareh—at the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, for the pur pose of inaugurating the new Institution of Naval Architects. On Thursday and Friday, morning and evening meetings will be held each day, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. respectively, and on Saturday, a morning meeting only, at 11 a.m. At the first meeting, on the morning of Thursday, the Right Hon. Sir John Pakington, G.C.8., will preside and deliver an address to the institution. The speech of the right lion. gentleman will be followed by the reading of papers by the Rev. J. Woolley, LLD , Mr. Scott Russell, and Mr. Grantham. In Mr. Grantham's paper, which will treat of the strength of iron ships, the case of the Royal Charter will be elaborately investigated. At the evening meeting of Thursday the Earl of Hardwicke will preside ; and at subsequent meetings it is expected that the chair will be taken by Mr. Sidney Herbert, Lord Clarence Paget, and Mr. H. Corry. On these oc casions numerous professional papers will be read by Mr Joseph Maudslay, Mr. White, of West Cowes, Prof. Airey, Astronomer-Royal, and other distin guished gentlemen. A paper on chain cables, by Mr.Lennox, the manufacturer of all the chain cables used by the Admiralty, is expected to excite much attention. The celebrated wave-line theory of ship building will also be described ; and as every paper will be discussed, the meetings will doubtless possess very great interest. We are informed that the at tendance will not be exclusively limited to members and associates of the institution, but that other gentlemen interested in the progress of the royal and mercantile navies will have tickets furnished them by the secretary to the institution, whose address is 166, Fleet-street, London. OPENING OF THE GROTTO-P- 485AGE RAGGED-SCHOOLS 4.3,73 ItEFUG.E. Yesterday the newly-erected s Grotto passage, Alarylebone, wer© opened in °Pd by the Earl of large number of Shaftesbury, in the presencehe ofdistrict. the ladies and gentry of present were the Rector of Alarylebone, the oisteev• E. The noble Earl took the ' chair at three o'clock, and amongst th J. P. Eyre, the Hon. D. Kinnaird, ALP? s • Lord Rsdstock, Sir John and Lad Hanbuiy, Air. Joseph P ayne, mr.yw. n s s . on fax e The meeting ha v i ng b een A i li w opened by • prayer, Mr. AAN.II ELL stated the obje c t s , and entered into a detail as to the progress of the institution. Its effect had been entirely to alter by improvement the character of the neighbourhood. Between 300 and 400 poor boys had been reclaimed from vice, and had become industrious and useful members of society. A new building was indispensable, as the old one was falling about their ears. Although the subscriptions had been liberal, they had been in adequate to defray the entire cost of the new build ing, and the institution itself required support. The Rev. E. J. P. EYRE and Lord RADSTOCR urged that there was no class in the country which deserved such great sympathy from the wealthy as the poor, trimness children who participated in the advantages of these public Ragged Schools and Refuges. The latter were not only preventives to crime, but of economy to the nation ; for whilst every prisoner cost £4O per year, the country could be saved more than half that amount by aiding these institutions, as a poor boy could be brought up to industry, and by example and teaching, be rescued from vice, at a cost of from £ l5 to £2O per annum. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY , Mr. JOSEPH PAYNE, and others offered addresses, the chi ldren were sub • sequently regaled with tea and company having inspected . the building, these a th e interesting proceedings were brough t to a. close. 4.1 nd. he all Ir. its the oi d 1 of rt of
