(THIS DAY.) • SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-DAMAGES, L 300.-- SEDUCTION.- GADSDgN V. CUTLER. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at L 2,000, in a breach of promise of marriage, defendant having suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Pearce, instructed by Mr. Claphamler the plaintiff, said this was one of the most cruel cases ever brought into a court of law. These cases are generally marked in a general way, but tbis case would be found to embrace pecu liarly heartless points. Plaintiff, a young lady aged 26, was the daughter of a farmer at Hemel Hampstead, owning some where about 600 acres of land. Defendant was the son of a farmer at Luton. The father (with,whom defendant lived) carried on a straw plait manufacture, and had fitted up a large linen drapery establishment at Dunstable, so that it would be seen defendant was in a very good position. An attach • ment was formed between plaintiff and defendant in 1855. There was a promise to marry, and though the matter was postponed from time to time, the letters now in possession of the learned counsel would show that matters were upon that footing. After five years' courtship, and after so many express promises, defendant succeeded in seducing the plaintiff, and bringing disg,raoe upon a virtuous young girl and a highly respectable family. The fall of her child be came known to Mrs. Gadsden, and on the 19th of Sep tember last an interview took place, at which the defen dant promised to marry the plaintiff at once, an das soon as as could get a license. The following morning, however, Mrs. Gadsden received a letter from defendant, in which he declared that he had had nothing to do with plaintiff, and that she had brought treuble upon herself. The truth was that defendant had become acquainted with a young lady of Luton, with many thousands—this was the reason that defendant had broken his promise. On the 14th February n the present year a child was born, and defendant, in the prospect of a larger dowry with the other lady, thought he was acting properly in refusing to fulfil his promise. Evi dence would be given of the position of defendant and his father, and the jury would no doubt give substantial damages, although nothing would recompense plaintiff for the loss of her honour. Mrs. Mary Gadsden said her husband was a farmer, of Hemel Hempstead. This lady generally bore out the fact&contained in the foregoing speech, adding that it was now the talk of Luton that defendant was paying his ad dresses to Miss Davis, a rich young lady at Luton. Mr. Hood cross-examined this witness as to defendant's means, and whether he was not a labourer on his father's farm at ss. per week. (A. laugh.) Witaess thought he was not. He kept a good appear ance, and frequently hunted. Did say Mr. Gadsden would give defendant £lOO when he married plaintiff. Mr. Gadsden said that defendant hunted with Lord Brownlow's hounds, and gave general evidence as to the means of the father. In cross-examination, he said he did not know that the horse he rode was an old one, used to draw loads of straw over the father's farm, but should think not. Believed that Mr. Cutler, senior, had nine children. Defendant's father was in a good position. John Gadsden, plaintiff's brother, said diet defendant acted as a gentleman in the country; bunted and shot, and was not a farm labourer. Could not say if he worked on the farm. Had seen him frequently with Lord Brownlow. Plaintiff's aunt proved that plaintiff was confined at her house, and that defendant called upon her there in October. Did not say ho was not the father of the child, but said he was accused wrongfully. He wanted his letters back. Had no doubt defendant was the father. He remained with plaintiff about two hours, and parted affectionately. Kissed plaintiff. Heard the kiss. (Laughter.) Mr. Pearce then read some letters of a particularly high flown and melodramatic cast. In one letter defendant con fessed that he had behaved cruelly to plaintiff, and that his conduct brought a blush to his cheek. Mr. Wood then, on the part of ;the defendant, said that no doubt plaintiff must have a verdict, and went (,n to say that the child was not defendant's. He also read a paper signed by defendant, in which Alfred Cutler was required to certify that he would marry Catherine Gadsden. He (Mr. Wood) would call evidence to prove that defendant was only a labourer, earning ss. per week, and yet plaintiff asked for £2,000. The reason defendant did not fulfil his promise was that the child was not his. Defendant's father was then called, and said he had nine children. His farm was about 350 acres. The straw plait manufactory was a very small affair. Since 1856, defendant having been unfortunate in business, worked upon wit ness's farm at a salary of ss. per week, and had no other means. As to the "hunter," witness tried to sell it for £5, and no one would buy it. (1 aughter.) Cross-examined—Did not know if there was a meeting of the subscribers to Lord Brownlow's hounds to-day. Lord Brownlow was witness's landlord. Kept an account at the Luton Bank. Defendant was not here—was advised not to come. Oat of the nine children only one besides defendant was at home. Would swear he only paid defen dant ss. per week and no more. As to the hunter, witness had chopped him away for a dying horse, because,no one would buy him. Did not know that his son was engaged to Miss Davis, but had heard so. Had not heard that Miss Davis had £15,000 in her own right. Had heard that the defendant had paid his addresses to the vicar's daughter and was accepted. Mr. War.l and Mr. Pearce then briefly addressed the jury, and the learned Secondary; in summing up, said it was for the jury to say if they thought £2,000 was too much, and the jury found for plaintiff—damages, £3OO. P OLICE INTELLIGER CE-( THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST A BARMAID OF ATTEMPTING TO 1 OBTAIN A SITUATION BY A FALSE CHARACTER. —SIN- 1 GULAR DETECTION.—Miriam Hudson, a barmaid, living 1 at 47, Bookham-street, New North-road, Islington, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with attempting to obtain, by means of a false character, a situation in the service of Mr. Leonard Hammond, of the Gloucester Hotel, Park-street, Grosvenor square. From the evidence, it appeared that Mr. Ilimmond answered an adver.isement in a paper, in consequence of which the prisoner presented herself at the hotel on Friday last, and referred to a Mrs. Thomson, of the Mount Ephraim Hotel, Tunbridge Wells, where she said she had lived for two years, for her character. Mr. Hammond told her he would go to Tunbridge Wells on Monday, but, instead of doing so, proceeded at once, and there saw the landlady of the hotel, Mrs. Cur tis, who had kept the house for ten years. Having told Mrs. Curtis his errand, he returned to town, and found a letter from the prisoner declining the situation. Mrs. Ham mond then wrote to the prisoner, telling her that Mr. Ham mond could not go to Tunbridge Wells, but would write. The prisoner then went down to the Mount Ephraim Hotel, and having waited for Mr. Hammond's letter, which she asked for as being directed to Mrs. Thomson, sat down in the cofferoom and answered it, giving herself an excellent character of course. The prisoner then returned to town, and on presenting herself at the Gloucester Hotel yesterday morning and stating that she was sorry she had written the letter declining the situation, as she thought it would suit her, she was asked into the parlour by Mr. Hammond and introduced to a constable. The prisoner admitted all the facts, pleaded guilty, and said she herself wrote the letter. Mr. Beadon fined the prisoner £2O, or three months' im prisonment.

THE DIVORCE COURT.—The Divorce Court Bill, which will enable the 'Judge-Ordinary in all cases to sit alone in the first instance, without waiting for other judges to sit with him, has now passed the House of Lords, and waits the pleasure of the House of Commons. An appeal from the decision of the Judge-Ordinary to a full Court already lies in certain cases, and to these the bill adds the question of the grant of a new trial. There is also a provi sion to the bill that no decree for a divorce shall be absolute for three months, and during that time any person may show to the Court that there has been collusion, or that material facts have been suppressed ; or information may be given to the Queen's Proctor, who, if he suspects collusion, may intervene in the suit. 711ANCLIES The.

Good and fine samples were in fair request at full prices ; but inferior qualities changed hands slowly at late rates. The show of foreign wheat was moderate. For all kinds the inquiry was much restricted; nevertheless, we have no change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. We have to report a dull sale for barley at Monday's de cline in value. There was very little doing in malt. P:ices, however, were supported. For oak the inquiry was somewhat restricted at Mon day's currency. Beans and peas were in fair request, but flour was a dull inquiry on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheit. Barley. Malt. Oats.

What is her Majesty's pleasure as to crimina. lunatics ? This is a question which probably many people have asked themselves with that vague kind of wonder which melts in to a general and indefinite belief, that, no doubt, it is reasonable enough. It is, however, a question for which we are particularly interested in obtaining a satisfactory solution now that legislation impends. An excellent little pamphlet, recently published by Dr. Hood, fur nishes the materials for an answer. Some of those who ale thus sentenced to indefinite detention are guilty of slight offences, while others have corn- Mittes the gravest crimes—even murder. But the verdict of insanity card& with it the sentence of prolonged imprisonment, whatever be the offence of the defendant. Hence lately, in the case of a certain Thos. Johnson, charged before Baron Martin with an offence punishable by one month's imprisonment, but who pleaded insanity, only the humane interposition of the judge pre vented a sentence which might probably have led to imprisonment for life, by suggesting the with drawal of the plea of insanity. In these cases not only is justice violated by a cruel and exaggerated punishment, but the State is charged unnecessarily with the support for life of one who should contri bute his share to the resources rather than to the burthens of the country. Dr. Hood suggests as a remedy, that whenever insanity is set up as a defence, the trial of the prisoner for the offence of which he is charged should be post poned, at whatever stage it may have arrived, until the state of the patient's mind be ascer tained before an ordinary jury, whose verdict of insanity shall be recorded by the court as an answer to the previous indictment. These cases are at present tried hurriedly before juries as sembled for trifling criminal causes, and often dis posed of without any previous notice of the intended defence being given to the prosecutor. Even if such verdicts be correctly given, another evil often follows in the existing state of things. A villain of the worst character, being acquitted on the score of insanity, and ordered for confinement in a lunatic asylum, recovers from his mental aberration, and remains all his life a vicious and violent inmate of a medical institution, where none of the arrange ments are calculated to punish his crime or to sub due his propensities, and is a constant source of anxiety to those who have charge of him. It is surely desirable that power should be given for duly trying after recovery prisoners found insane upon arraignment. These considerations should be urged in the subsequent settlement of the Law of Lunacy.— The Lancet. THE RIFLE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT AT BIRMIN G HAM.—A review of the first eight companies of the Bir mingham battalion of Rifle Volunteers took place, in cele bration of her Majesty's birthday, on Monday. The corps assembled in Bingley-hall at 9 o'clock, and afterwards marched thence, preceded by their band, to Calthorpe-park, where a very large concourse of spectators was collected, the ground being kept by the ninth and tenth companies, as sisted by a body of police. Under the command of Lieut.= Colonel Saunders, the for ce went through a variety of evo lutions in a steady, precise, and soldierlike manner, four of ' the companies in addition practising with blank cartridges, and eliciting the cordial approbation of well qualified judges for the closeness of their volleys and the quickness of their file firing. At the conclusion of the proceedings, which occupied about four hours, the whole of 'the battalion was formed in quarter distance column, and addressed by the Hon. C. G. Scott, the lieutenant-colonel commandant, who complimented them very highly upon the manner in which they had acquitted themselves. In the afternoon about 500 of the non• commissioned officers and privates were con veyed by special tra'n to Aston-hall, and dined together in the spacious glass pavilion adjoining the edifice. The Mayor (Mr. Thomas Lloyd) captain of the fourth company, pre sided, in his capacity of chief magistrate of the borough, and the occasion was honoured by the presence of the Hon. Col. Scott and the majority of the officers. The chairman, in proposing the toast of " Success to the Volunteer Rifle Corps Movement," said it was a source of pleasure to him to remember that he was one of the first volunteers to enrol himself, and he congratulated the audience that although Birmingham was at first slow to move in the matter, the town could now boast that it possessed an efficient force of 1,200 members GREAT CIIESS MATCH AT BRADFORD.-011 Fri day night Herr Harwitz, the eminent chess player, entered into a contest, blindfolded, with six members of the Brad • ford Chess Club—namely, Dr. Macnish, M. Ammelburg, M. Landolphe, Mr. Petty, Mr. J. Barker, and Mr Knowles. The six games proceeded simultaneously—Herr Ilarwitz not having a sight of the boards. There was a large num ber of members and friends present during the evening. Tho contest, which began at half-past seven o'clock, pro ceeded slowly and cautiously on the part of some of his opponents, but they were all ultimately vanquished one after another. His last opponent, Mr. James Barker, did not relinquish tha contest till two o'clock on Saturday morning.—Manekester Guardian.

A letter from Lima, dated April 26, says,—" I am now going to give you an account of what hap• pened here on Sunday, the 22d inst. (April). I was that day at Chorrillos, which, as I have before stated, is a bathing place on the seacoast about nine miles from here, when, at 2 p.m. the severest shock of earthquake was felt that has ever been ex perienced here within the memory of the oldest in '‘ibitant. I was at the time on a visit at the house of my friend, Mr. R , together with several other people, among whom were the American Minister, wife, and daughter ; on the first oscillation we all rushed out; it was really frightful, the earth heav ing in the midst of atremendous subterranean noise —the houses and walls falling, the women scream ing, and in the midst of such a thick cloud of dust that we could not see the ground. we were standing on, the shock lasting for the space of about 50 seconds, when it ceased;: the wind gradually drew off the thick cloud of dust raised by the trembling of the earth and the fall ing of walls and rubbish; the sight then began to look somewhat ludicrous, the whole population in the open air begrimed with dirt, many en their knees crying out Misericordia!' and the women fainting all round. Several houses were thrown dowr, and nearly every house more or less injured, the one in which I was at the time, though not entirely thrown down, was rendered uninhabitable. My house scarcely suffered at all, being new nod strongly built, a few bottles and crockery being the extent of the damage ' • two poor women were killed, and several injured. Of people who were bathing at the time some were injured and some were killed by the cliff falling upon them. Had the shock taken place during the night or during church time the loss of life would have been very great; indeed it was so severe that we expected Lima would have been laid in ruins, but to our sur prise less damage occurred there than in Chorrillos, the houses of this city being very massively built in order to resist such accidents. A great deal damage, however, has been done, and the papers have since published daily long lists of casualties, though but few lives have been lost. The earth continued trembling at intervals for 36 hours after, and the next morning (Monday) at 6.45 a.m. another very severe shock was felt, though not so strong as the one on the previous day. This, of course, added greatly to the panic generally felt. No carts or carriages were allowed in the streets, for fear of their noise adding to the general alarm. The shops were closed, and all business suspended, everybody remaining at the doors of their houses, ready for a run at a moment's warning. Many people went into the fields, and the two following nights were passed by thousands in the open air. 011 Monday evening the image of our Lord of the Miracles was taken out of his church and carried in grand procession, followed by an immense concourse of people, to visit St. Peter, where it remained all night, and was conveyed back again the next morn ing. This act of devotion did a great deal of good by quieting the minds of the common people, who believed that it would put a stop to the earth quakes—in fact there have only been some slight shocks since. It was an impos'ng sight to see a procession of 8,000 or 10,000 people going along the streets by torchlight, and praying in a loud voice, in a more solemn and prol ably more sin cere manner than they ever did in their lives be fore. The sensations I felt by the shock were such as are felt by all ; no animal courage is of avail in such cases, as in fires, shipwrecks, or any other com mon disaster, where the danger is palpably before you, and cannot be altogether realised. In severe earthquakes both man and beast are filled with in describable terror ; of course, coolness and presence of mind are very necessary where you may happen to be in a dangerous situation. When the second shock occurred, the next morning, nearly every one was in bed, and many got up and rushed into the street in the state they were ; and, of course, man:- laughable stories have been told of the figures cut by some. I was in Lima, in our own house—as 1 came from Chorrillos at once to see what damage had been done—and in bed. I got up, but did nut leave my room. Our hcuse is a very strongly built one, and I knew that in the event of any earth quake strong enough to bring it down there would be no escape for any one, so I kept quietly where I was. One poor woman was killed by running out of her house into the street, the well on the opposite side falling upon her. Had she remained quietly in her house nothing would have happened, as it remained quite firm. "A chasm nearly a mile long and several feet wide, has been opened in the ground at some dis tance from the city, and all the farms have been much injured by the unsettling of the surface of the ground. It is not likely we shall be disturbed again for a long time, as these very heavy shocks only occur at long intervals." THE CRI7AL PALACE. The annual meeting of the children of the charity schools of the metropolis, which has so long been annually held in St. Paul's Cathedral, will this year be discontinued. Fortunately the disappointment which would have been felt by thousands of persons at the cessation of these time-honoured celebrations will be removed by making the Cryktal Palace available for the occasion, and it is announced that a more than ordinarily great gathering of the children will take place at the Palace on Wed nesday next, June 6, preparations for which have been in active progress for some time past. The great Handel Orchestra-, being double the diameter of the dome of St. Paul's, affords opportunity for the introduction of a much larger number of children than were ever assembled in the cathedral together. The favourable con struction of the orchestra also renders it a much more appropriate locale than the old staging in the ecclesiastical edifice. The result will proba bly therefore be more successful than the meetings at St. Paul's, although they have hitherto been regarded as ageing the great sights of the metro polis. In e.aei that the children may enjoy a lengthened holiday they will be conveyed to the Palace by special trains and vans at an early hour of the morning. At three o'clock they will be assembled in the great orchestra for the musical per formance, and more than ordinary attention will be paid to grouping them according to the colour of the clothes worn by each school. The various schools have for some time past been under careful training by Mr. W. G. Martin, whose success with the great meetings of the Metropolitan School Choral Society and with the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral is well known, and a great advance on former musical efforts may reasonably be antici pated. The treasurers of the various schools, under the chairmanship of Mr. Alderman Finnis, with many other influential members of the corporation, including the active hon. secretary of the commit tee, Mr. John Stewart, have entered most heartily into this holiday scheme, and as, by the liberality of the Crystal Palace authorities, the opportunity will be afforded to the parents f the children to provide themselves beforehand with tickets at the lowest excursion rate, there can be doubt but that Wednesday, June 6, will be one of the great days at the Crystal Palace, and the popular annual solemnity of the " Charity Children" of the metro polis will more than ever retain its attractions. On Friday, June 8, and two following days, a great Fancy Fair and Bazaar, supported. by many of the leading City h4uses, and under distinguished patronage,. will be held in the Central Transept, for the benefit of • the -Warehousemen's. and Clerks' Schools. LIFEBO,I7 SERVICES. LOWESTOFT, Monday night. —We have had a fearful gale here all day, although now somewhat abated. The Lowestoft and Pakefield lifeboats, both of which are in connexion with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, have been actively employed during the whole day. The Lowestoft boat has landed the crews of a brig and a Humber keel. In the latter were a mother and daughter, and an infant, all in a most exhausted state. The mate waiesupposed to have been previously drowned, as the keel had been in collision in the gale with another vessel. Both these vessels, the brig and the Humber keel, were abandoned. The two lifeboats are still afloat rendering as sistance, as many vessels are in great distress. It was reported that five vessels have gone to pieces on the Scroby Sands, and that all hands have perished therefrom. WINTERTON, NORFOLK, Tuesday Morning.—The ./Eolus, of North Shields, coal laden and bound for London, was totally wrecked yesterday, during a terrific gale of wind. She sprang a leak and run for the beach, about two miles to the north of this village, and became a total wreck in less than half an hour from the time she struck the beach. Two of the crew (the master and cook) were saved by catching pieces of wreck, but the remainder, five is number, perished. The whole of the men were on the mainmast when it fell over the side. The life-saving apparatus was immediately de spatched to the scene of the wreck, but bki not al. rived when the vessel broke up, and the lifeboat of the National Institution was started as soon a s horses could be procured, but had not got more tha n half the way when it became plain that her ser vices could be of no avail. Another vessel (name unknown) foundered near the same place , a nd it is supposed that the whole crew perished. Many other vessels have been dis masted, and no doubt much damage has been done, of which at presen t nothing is known. The gale was terrific, hardly less violent at one time than that of February last. ftilE PAP.ER DUTY. With regard to the measure itself, although we fully admit the objectionable character of the tax, we do not think that the time was well chosen for its remission. The financial state of the country did not warrant the abandonment of such an amou'it of revenue. To be obliged to augment the income-tax to almost a war rate, and to suspend the promised reductions on tea and sugar, in order to allow of its remission, were sufficient proofs of its inopportuneness. And not only so, but in order to make up the required amount for the year, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was reduced to the necessity of deferring payments and shorten ing credits, which could only be regarded as drawing from the resources of future years for the wants of the present. But there was a yet stronger objection to the removal of the duty. It is the worst part of the scheme by which France is to receive all possible benefit from this country, and to concede nothing. At present the Excise duty on home-made paper is 11d. per pound; the Customs' duty on foreign paper is 2;d. The re moval of the former is intended to be eecompanied by the entire removal of the latter, leaving the im portation of foreign paper entirely free of duty. Now, we are free-traders in the largest sense of the term ; we hold that no duty should be imposed for the purpose of preserving to our own manufac turers a monopoly of an article which may be pur chased more cheaply elsewhere. But it does not, therefore, follow that we should legislate iu such a manner as to create a monopoly in our market for a foreign country. Yet this is precisely what is contemplated with regard to the paper duties. France and the other Continental States impose a prohibition or a tax upon rags, in order to keep down the price of the raw mate rial, while England is drained of her stock for the American market. The effect is that the dif ference between the value of rags in England and in France is considerably more than the difference of a penny on the pound of paper between the home and foreign duties. Yet that difference, the effect Lot of any natural advantages, but of direct legislation by a foreign Government, it is proposed to sanction and to render effectual for the unfair advantage of the foreign paper maker, by admit ting his manufactured article to unrestrained com petition with our home manufacture, while the re straint on the raw material is continued. We say that this is not free trade, but the reverse of it, or it is free trade run mad. It has no analogy to the tepee' of the corn laws, which has been quoted in its justification. To make the cases parallel it would he necessary to suppose a duty laid by the Powers of Europe on their corn, and England legislating to admit their biscuit free of duty. Or, to bring the case closer to the Manchester gentlemen, by whom the repeal of this tax is so strongly insisted upon, it is as if the Aihericans were to lay a tax on raw cotton, in order to secure to themselves its manufacture, and the British Parliament were to acquiesce in that tax by allowing a free import of American calico. The Chancellor of the Exchequer intimates that, if the Excise duty on paper is continued, Parliament will be bound to reduce the import duty on the foreign mqnufacture to the precise level of the Excise duty, in compliance with the terms of - the - French Treaty and the Address of the two Houses of Parliament. We cannot admit such an obliga tion. In the treaty, it is true, her Majesty " pro mises to recommend to Parliament to admit. mer chandise from France at a rate of duty equal to the Excise duty imposed on articles of the same de- • scription in the United Kingdom ;" but it cannot' be maintained that these general terms; and the still• more general terms of a Parliamentary Address, arts have created an obligation to admit every artielenf merchandise at the precise level of our Excise duties , whatever legislation France may adopt to - fen der such admission injurious. The• dut.y on the export of rags by that country is to all intents and purposes a bounty on their manufacture; and a burthen upon ours, and it would be mon. strous to say that we are bound by Mr. Cobden's clumsy negotiation to sanction and give success to that policy against our own people. The duty on • paper was not one of the articles included in the changes of the tariff with the wine and silk duties, but was expressly reserved for separate legislation, and until the French Government has conceded a free access to her rag market, we trust that our Parliament will retain an equivalent tax upon • her paper. By the terms of the treaty any effect of our Excise duties in augmenting the cost of the article beyond the bare amount of the duty was to be taken. - into account, and the spirit of that clause demands that any enhancement of the cost of our paper by the effect of the French tax should be considered in fixing the duties on imports. The plain meaning of the clause is to place the manufacturers of each country on an equal footing • let France do her lath in thi-3, and we are contented. But until she con cedes this, and until we.can get a free supply of rags to our own mills, neither France nor the Bri anti UUll3Ullll'i eau expect the full beuefit of the re mission of duty ; and to insist upon it at present would in our opinion be both impolitic and unjust. —Bury and IVortoich Post. E_E TVS VENDERS' BE.YET' °LENT TROVIDE4 T I.2VSTITUTION. Last night the anniversary festival of this excel lent institution was celebrated by a supper, at the Freemasons"ravern, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's - inn-fields. The chair was taken by W. H. Russell, Esq., L.L.D. On the removal of the cloth, _ _ The CHAIRMAN, in giving the toast of the Army and Navy, referred with pride to the deeds of the united services in the Russian war, and coupled the toast with the name of Col. Addison. Drunk with all the honours. Col. ADDISON returned thanks in a very humorous and effective speech, which was loudly cheered. The CHAIRMAN, in giving the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Newsvenders' Benevolent and Provident Institution," referred especially to the • advantages which such a society was capable of con fering upon its members, and to the claims which the newsvenders had upon the general support of the public. After referring to several instances to show the usefulness of the society, he concluded by giving the toast, which was drunk with all the honours. _ _ _ The CIIAIRMAN said the next toast he had to propose was " The President, Charles Dickens, Esq. ; the Vice-Presidents, and the Trustees," and in doing so he remarked that the society had been 21 years established, and with reference to that fact he felt great pleasure in coupling with the toast the 'tame of Mr. Wood, of the Weekly Dispatch, as one who was greatly instrumental in the establish men t of the society. The toast was drunk with all the honours and loud cheering. Mr. Woon, in very feeling terms, returned thanks, and bore testimony to the strong claims which the newsvenders had upon public support. Mr. SHIRLEY BROOKES, in very complimentary terms, proposed the health of the chairman, which was very cordially responded to, and drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, anstl expi6ssed the great gratification he felt in presiding oyek the meeting of that evening. Subscriptions were announced to a liberal exkent. The company separated at a late hour' after . spending a very agreeable evening. The supper was exceedingly well served. The musical arrangements were under the direc tion of Mr. Burgess.
