P 1 :DESTRIANISM.—C• CHARLTON AND C. MALLIN.-- Thes men ran off their 101. match of 200 yards, at Southall, after a removal from Ealing. It was a one-sided affair. Chaz rltton took the lead and kept it for the first 150 yards, runt Li•cg strong; and at a very respectable bat ; Mallin made one 01' two ineffectual spirts to overtake him, but in vain, and , having covered about thre e-fourths of the distance, i dlin gave in, leaving Charlton to run in at bis own rate.

His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen landed at Ramsgate on Saturday from the Continent, and pro ceeded to town, where his Serene Highness arrived shortly before five o'clock. The Prince left town at half past five o'clock, via Great Western Railway, for Frog more House, near Windsor, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, and Baron Knesebeck, honoured the Italian Opera with their pre- sence on Saturday evening.

Mr. Marston, the author of the tragedy of The Patrician's Daughter, has transferred his worship from the shrine of Melpomene to that of Thalia. Borough Pelitics is the title of a two-act comic drama from Mr. Marston's pen, which was pro duced here on Saturday evening with complete success. Nathan Thompson (M,:. Webster); a rich farmer, and his vulgar wife (Mrs. Glover), have a sentimental daughter, Fanny (Mrs. Yarnold), who is engaged to marry Frank Neville (Mr. Howe), the son of Dr. Neville (Mr. Tilbury), the village apothe cary. The vulgar Mrs. Thompson, however, has a desperate quarrel with Mrs. Neville. The two hus bands, as in duty bound, take up the quarrel of their wives. The match is broken off, and the families are at variance. Dr. Neville is candidate for the office of mayor ; and Florid (Mr. Buckstone), the editor of the Bumbleton Denouncer, thinks this a capital opportunity for wreaking his vengeance on the Doctor, against whom he has a quarrel, and for airing his own vocabulary of popular common places. He induces Thompson to start in opposition to Neville. Poor Fanny, however, is heartbroken. Her vulgar, but warm-hearted mother, relents, and seeks a reconciliation with the Ne vines; old Thompson resigns the contest, Dr. Neville is elected Mayor, and the young people are united. The piece was strongly cast, and admirably acted throughout, and its success was complete and triumphant. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A young American actress, Miss Virginia Monier, made her first appearance before an English audience at this theatre, on Saturday, in the character of Mrs. Haller. Miss Virginia Monier is young; her figure is well formed, but slender, and she is somewhat above the middle height ; her features are good, and her counte nance expressive, and her voice is exquisitely sweet and musical. She is most lady-like, and never " oversteps the modesty of nature," and yet she is most pathetic. Her elocution is beautiful. She is certainly one of th• most correct readers on the stage. Her conception of the part of Mrs. Haller is beautiful, hut the fear of over acting (a most wholesome tear in a debutante), and the nervousness under which she was evidently labouring, prevented her doing the full justice to her powers at the commencement of the play, which she was enabled to do towards the conclusion, when she became somewhat more accustomed to her audience. Her natural powers are great, her taste is pure and delicate, and that she will be a most valuable acquisition to the English stage there cannot be a doubt. Her success was complete—the applause throughout +was enthusiastic ; it was the genuine honest applause of the audience. She was called for at the conclusion, and greeted with shouts of cheering and showers of bouquets, and seldom have cheers and bouquets been better deserved than they were by Miss Virginia Monier.

The weights for the Northumberland Plate will appear much sooner next year, and the acceptances made at an earlier I period than was the case this season. CRICKET. TETE GENTLEMEN OF KENT v. THE GENTLEMEN OF ENG LAND.—This match was not brought to a termination until Wednesday afternoon, England winning with seven wickets to go down.

In fact, they were all bothered by the excellent bowling of 11 Iar tin g ell and Day. The t o t a l s of their respective innings were 83 and 56. The brilliant exhibition of the match was the hitting of Mr. A. M. Hoare. Not all the efforts of Mr. Mynn, Hillyer, Adams, Hinckley, and Pil ch could make any inroad upon his play. Indeed the better they bowled the finer became his batting; and had it alone been that the match had afforded the opportunity to that ge n tl eman to make a display of so much brilliancy, and that it was i n a Surrey man, too, the committee, it is apprehended, would h ave b een perfectly tent. Mr. Hoare scored 59, by a five, a f our , eight creoens four twos, and the rest in ones. His efforts were l ou dl y cheered. The great master of the bat did nothing, for he was caught the first ball, and Mr. Felix therefore appears, as he was not required to g 4 in a second time, on the scor e w ith a round 0. Heath hit very finely, and contributed 15, by two threes, a two, and the balance in ones. Day also played extremely well, scoring 19 by a four, a three, and a d ,, zen singles ; Martingell made 7, and a similar number was marked to Brockwell. The Surrey in this hand obtained 137, being "54 on." Kent, however, could only overtop those figures by two, which were quickly gained by Mr. Groom and Brockwell, without the leg ef a wicket. surrey therefore won by ten wickets. THE SUN, LONDON, AQUATICS. HENLEY REGATTA.-SECOND DAY. Notwithstanding repeated showers during the day, the as semblage on Friday was most fashionable and numerous, exceeding, indeed, both as regarded condition and numbers, that of any former year. The bridge and grand stand were thronged with the nobility and gentry in the neighbourhood, and eke towing-path on the Bucks side of the beautifulreach of water, and the meadows on the Berks, presented some tneusands of genteelly-dressed persons. The members of the Universities and London aquatic clubs came into Read ing, Twylord, and Maidenhead, in large numbers by the Great Western, and by two in the day Henley was a scene of bustle and animation. The greatest attractions of the day, and those indeed of no mean order, were the races for the Grand Challenge Cup, and Ladies' Challenge Plate, both eight oared contests, and in each of which a crew appeared from Oxford, Cambridge, and London. These events had given rise to much specula tion, and great pains had been taken by the respective crews to train themselves into the finest possible condition. The interest in the matter was materially increased by some cf the crews being also entered for the Thames Grand Regatta next week, and aquatic amateurs were exceedingly desirous of witnessing the preliminary performances. The sport commenced at half-past two, with the race for a silver wherry, presented by Messrs. Makepeace and Wol gard, for gentlemen scullers resident at Henley. FIRST TRIAL HEAT. H. Sargeant (Green) F. Partridge (Pink) A very hollow race. The winner took the lead and kept it, coming in first by a couple of lengths. GRAND EIGHT-OARED RACE FOR THE LADIES' CHALLENGE PLATE. Cambridge.—The Black Prince, I. Messrs. F. George (stroke) Messrs. 4. Garfett 7. Vincent 3. Turner 6. Wolstenholme 2. Sidebottom 5. Cloves 1. Maule Holland (steerer) 'hames Club, 11. Vlessrs. 4.

Walmsley (stroke) 7. Stratton 6. Playford - 5. Robinson 6. T. E. Seserne 5. F. G. Royds 2. W. IL Merriman 1. W. H. Midgley W. Harvey (steerer). The whole of the crews looked in beautiful order, and ap peared very confident. The Black Prince had the call slightly, but it was asserted by those who had watched the training that they would have their work to do against the Thames, and so it turned out. The Black Prince had the choice of station, and went to the Berks shore, the Thames being next. It was a splendid race throughout, and it was doubtful, until a quarter of a mile of home, which party would be successful. They went off at a rattling speed, the Thames leading slightly, and the Black Prince almost level with them. Stroke succeeded stroke in rapid succession, and they alternately pushed each other. The Prince then made a desperate effort to get away, but their opponents would not part with them until nearing Poplar Point, when the Prince increased the slight lead they had previously held. Another push was made by the Thames, but unsuccessfully, and the Black Prince passed the winning post half her length only in advance of the Thames. SECOND HEAT FOR SILVER WHERRY. G. Obery (Light Blue) G. Prickett (Blue and White). Prickett foaled his adversary shortly after the commence ment of the race, and became disqualified. THIRD HEAT FOR SILVER WHERRY. A. lye (Red and White) 1 J. Dew (Dark Blue) A very tolerable race. Won easily. THE GRAND CHALLENGE CUP FOR EIGHT-OARED BOATS. London—The Thames Club 1 Cambridge—The Black Prince Eton and Westminster (Oxford) W. H. Milman (stroke) 4. F. M. Wilson 7. W. H. Heygate 3. J. Tarber 6. J. A. Ogle 2. E. Buxton 5. J. W. Conant I. W. C. Stapylton It is unnecessary to repeat the names of the two first crews. So very close had been the race between them for the Ladies' Plate, that either were taken for choice, accord ing to the fancy of the speculator; the third boat was not in any demand. It will be seen that the fortune of the day changed, after one of the fastest races on record. The Thames took the Berks side, Cambridge being next. Oxford had a slight start directly they went off, when the Black Prince came up, and challenged them, and passed. Oxford fell a little back, when the Thames drew ahead of them, and then, which was shortly after the start, a most gallant race occur red between the Thames and Black Prince, which lasted to near home ' • the Thames, however, d raw i ng gra d ua ll y away , inch by inch, until they came in,_ four lengths ahead..

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JUNE 26.—N0 great amount of business has been done in foreign wools this week, the choice at present in the maket being only in different. We learn the prices paid at the earlier German fairs have been fully supported at the mere recent ones, and the bulk of the wools had obtained a ready sale. The continental manufacturers had, for the most part, purchased freely, but the English dealers had operated to a much more limited extent than in former years. The wash is, on the 'whole, considered inferior to that of last year. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JUNE 26.—There has not been much done in sales of wool this week. The manufacturers hold off as much as possible, and rather lower prices have been submitted to. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 26.—There is again no relief to the dull state of the trade reported for some weeks past, and many consumers being buyers of the new clip from the growers, it has caused sales to be more than ever limited this week. YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 25. Our market continues to be very largely supplied with wool, and the buyers in attendance to-day were exceedingly nu merous. In the morning a tolerable business was done, but a heavy rain, accompanied with lightning and thunder, coming on at noon, and lasting for more than two hours, nearly put a stop to the trade for the rest of the day. Lower prices in consequence had to be sub mitted to, but many lots remain over until next week. Ewe, I Is. Bd. to 12s. 6d.; hog and ewe, 13s. to 14s. per stone of 141135. LEEDS.—There has again been very little business done at the Cloth Halls this week. The result of the wool sales at Liverpool, and the sales in London next week, will tend to settle the question of prices for the autumn, and until then little improvement is expected. Very few buyers have been down this week, and in con. sequence, business has been dull in finished goods. The foreign houses are also doing little, until they see how prices rule. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, JUNE 25.—The mar ket was in all its branches, viz., wool, yarn, and pieces, so similar to what it has been the last two weeks, that it is needless giving any report_ On all hands it is stated that the new clip is of most excellent quality, and the staplers have considerable stocks on hand. The spinners buy very sparingly, and for immediate consumption, and are working in great part at order, which keeps up the prices even to the present low rate. Some manufacturers' stocks of pieces are very heavy. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EvENE.va.--We have no new feature in our cloth market to report this week; the demand, however, is to a fair extent, but there is no life nor elasticity in the trade. The opinion is gaining ground that the cotton crop of 1845 was really deficient to a considerable extent, and that the prices will be maintained for some time to comae, so that manufacturers and spinners will not, it is thought, find any relief by a decline in the staple. So that low, or rather no p ro fit, is likely to be th e or d er o f t h e day for some time to come. The home trade continues very inanimate, and probably will now continue till after Midsummer. Yarns can be disposed of in large quantities, but at no improvement ; in some cases they are a little lower. BARNSLEY.—The trade of this town is still in a de pressed state. The number of hands out of employ, or partially occupied, causes considerably distress is this neighbourhood. LEICESTER.—There is no improvement to announce in the demand for manufactured goods this week. Worsted yarns remain the same. There has been but little doing in wools, buyers holding off until the fair, which will take place on Wednesday next. CHARITABLE TRUSTS. Bill for procuring Accounts of Receipt and Expenditure by all persons administering Charitable Trusts in England (first prepared and introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Hume and Dr. Bowring). 1. That all persons in whom any property is vested on any charitable trust, or who act in the administration of any property appropriated to charitable purposes in England, shall from time to time, in all cases in which no other provision is made for the appointment of a clerk to the trust, appoint one of themselves, or some other fit person, to act as the clerk of such charitable trust, for the purpose of keeping the accounts and mak ing the returns required by this Act. 2. That the clerk of every such trust shall, in books to be kept for that purpose, enter, or cause to be en tered, true accounts of all monirs received and paid on account of the said trust, and of the several matters for which sums shall have been received and paid. 3. That the said clerk shall, on or before the first day of March, in the year One Thousand Eight Hun dred and Forty-seven, send to one of her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State a statement of the real and personal estate vested for any charitable purpose in the trustees whose clerk he is, and shall at the same time, and also on or before the first day of March in every following year, send to the said Secretary of State up d for the m o s n a e i d a statement of c o all n t ro o o f n t e h y e s sreceived trust,a and t h p i a n i d i w h e y; v t e h c e a s l e a n i trustees on ac and of the moneys and y of securitiesmaking account, credit of or owing to the said trus tees,then standing to the they are dar months next before the time statements shall be prepared in then liable ; all which the Secretary of State shall such form and manlier as and of the debts and liabilities far which direct ; a n d an a b s tract of such stateme nts and accounts under ge nera l h ea d s s h a ll be laid before both Houses of Parliament during their sitting in the same year in which the said statements shall be so sent. 4. Act may be amended or repealed. The Jewish Chronicle says: We take the following drop from the 'Cup of Salvation,'—' Lot's wife was turned to a pillar of salt, because sh e stood still and looked behind her. Thus salt, which preserves everything, becomes a striking and warning symbol to the conservators of olden times, who AIM) stand Nall And look behind them.' " MONDAY ‘MORNING, JUNE 29, 1846. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. A very numerous and respectably attended meet ing took place at three o'clock on Saturday, in the Hall of the King's College, for the purpose of raising a fund for the purchase of a site adjoining the hospital, and erecting thereon an additional building for the re ception of patients. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided. His Grace was supported on his right and left by his Royal Highneis the Duke of Camkridge, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Lichfield, Aril deacon Manning, Archdeacon Robertson, Viscount Sandon, Lord Ashley, Sir Robert Inglis, &c. Prayers having been offered, the Secretary read the financial statement, from which it appeared that, in con cequence of the number of applicants for relief, it had become absolutely necessary to raise an additional fund to carry out the benevolent objects of the institution. Viscount SANDON, in moving the first resolution, said that the objects which they were met on that occasion to promote, were of the most Christian and charitable description that it cold be possible to propose. The institution, o❑ the behalf of which he had to appeal, was not less distinguished for its great skill in the science of medicine, than for its intimate connexion with religion, and it would he perfectly useless in him to expatiate on its merits, for it would be attempting " To gild refined gold, to paint the lily." - But he did recollect hearing a Noble and Learned Lord speak against snch institutions as the present, and pro nounce them to be often dangerous to the principle of liberty of action.—(Hear, hear.) These words, how ever, were the effervescence of the moment, and they had arrived at that tranquillity of the mind, in which they recognised the worth and the utility of an intimate connexion between religion and science.—(Applause.) And he did hope that the patients in the hospital would derive the advantages which should necessarily flow from such a connexion. He would take that opportunity (if suggesting that the sy s t em o f female attendance should be adopted in the hospital. Much would remain to be done upon this point, He trusted that in Protestant England, as well as in Catholic countries, a charitable sisterhood would be established for the attendance of the sick.—(Hear, hear.)—,He-was not authorised to make the suggestion, but he was sure that it was one which would be well received, and he would beg to move the first resolutiirn, which was to the effect that, as the present hospital was not sufficiently large, a fund should be raised for the purpose of purchasing a site for the erection of another building. Sir R. INGLis seconded the resolution, which met his cordial approbation. The institution had worked ad mirably already, and no matter how largely or ex tensively they might build, he lamented to say they would always find a more than adequate supply of disease. He would warmly recommend that the suggestion of the Noble Lord should be carried into effect. A cup of cold water tendered to the suffering patient by a female attendant was far preferable to the most assiduous at tentions of the stronger sex.—(Hear, hear.) He would conclude by observing that he for one would be ready to promote by every means in his power the objects and interests of the institution. The Learned Prelate then put the resolution which was carried unaninasusly. The Lord Bishop of OXFORD, who was received with great applause, said the resolution which he had to move was to the following effect :—" That some of the medical officers of King's College Hospital, having most liberally taken upon themselves the responsibility of purchasing a site adjoining the hospital, as peculiarly well adapted for the purposes of the college, this meet ing considers that the most strenuou s exer ti ons o ught to be made for the raising of a fund to relieve them from their responsibility, and to erect an additional building : and that the fund so to be raised shall be called the Building Fund of the King's College Hospital." The purport of the resolution, he said, seemed to be, to in vite those who had hitherto taken no. or at least a small, part in the preliminary steps for the foundation of this hospital, to join heartily in raising funds necessary to set it upon a permanent and sufficient footing.— Hear, hear.) They were invited to come into the field in order to aid the noble exertions of those officers of the institution who had been willing, rather than see their fellow creatures lose the benefit of the proposed build ing, to take upon themselves the whole responsibility of raising it.—(Applause.) He hoped that the response which the meeting would that day make to the appeals made to them on behalf of the institution would prove that they did not wish to see those good men left to their extremity unsheltered and unaided in their good work—(Applause.) He felt perfectly sure that those appeals would not be made in vain. A great objection it would appear, by the statements which had fallen from Lord Viscount Sandon, existed in the minds of some against this institution, but he thought that the best answer that could be given to the objection alluded to, and indeed all objections against an institution like this, was the amount of benefits which they had conferred. Every sick man whom the officers of t his institution relieved from his sickness was the better enabled to return to the bosom of his family in a condition to earn for them their necessary food and clothing. The sufferers whom such institutions as these were the medium of relieving, were their brethren in Christ, to whom they were called upon to minister, if they were indeed followers of Christ. Hospitals like these rested upon the very first principles of Chris tianity, for their was no more distinguished feature in the life of Christ than his continually going about doing good, and relieving all manner of sickness and diseases amongst the people—(Applause.) And the -whole history of the Church, since - its establishment, abounded with instances of the raising of hospitals, houses of refuge for the miserable, by its members.— (Hear.) It was a remarkahle fact to any one reading ancient history, and comparing the great cities of olden times, in which wealth was lavished to administer tc/ the wants and pleasures of the rich, there could be found no account of any hospitals having been raised for the re- lief of the sick poor. There were undoubtedly shows provided for the poor at the expense of the rich, who made use of that expenditure as a means of serving their ambitious purposes. They had no authentic account of any institutions having been raised, amidst all the amount of wealth that existed in those ancient cities, for the re- lief and recovery of the ieceased and afflicted poor. They might therefore assume that Christianity, amongst its unnumbered and untold blessings at every turn and in every way, had this amongst the rest--that its wealthier disciples had, in every nation in which it had been es tablished, erected houses of refuge, and hospitals like those, for the relief of their p o or sick brethren.—(Ap plause.) And on that ground this hospitalhad aspecialde mand upon their support and sympathy. It would train up the medical students in the practice of religion; and the present perfection of the healing art was, in his oninion, to a very great degree the result of Christi anity amongst us. Christianity it was that taught us to view disease in its right character, and to view man, who was the subject o f di sease , in his right character. It had given men at once courage to exert themselves in discovering the cause 9nd arresting the deadly progress of disease. It was on that ground, therefore, that the most prominent and the best feature in this institution was that it taught the students the precepts of the Christian religion. — (Applause.) When they lost that religion they would lose a reverence for the human being on whom they might thereafter be called upon to attend in their professional capacity, because they had first lost a becoming reverence for their God, the creator of that human being.—(Hear, hear.) But the religious surgeon, when ministerin g to his sick fellow creature, felt that he was performin g an act of Christian benevo lence; and that he (the Lord Bishop of Oxford) took to be one of the great objects in founding this hospital: its students were taught to be sound Christians and perfect surgeons, and thus the poor of our crowded metropolis received incalculable boons. The meeting (concluded his Lordship) and the public at large were invited to take part in thi s work, and a blessing it was to be allowed i n any measure to take part in the ministrations of the Church's charities, in blessing their suffering neighbours around them; blessed especially to those who took an active part in carrying out the designs of the institution, whether in the character of sisters of charity or as surgeons. It was a most blessed thing to be employed in ministering to and healing the sick, and giving peace to their afflicted brethren. Lord ASHLEY, in seconding the resolution observed, that after the speech which had been delivered by the Right Rev. Prelate, little remained for him to say except that he most heartily concurred in the arguments which had balm advanced. He wished, however, to call the atten tion of the meeting to the conduct of the medical offi cers who had voluntarily come forward and incurred a heavy responsibility only in the reliance that a generous public would come to their assistance and take the burden from their shoulders ; and from his own experi ence he could state that there was no profession which was more eminently charitable, or gave more gratuitous advice and assistance to the poor, than the medical.— (Hear, hear.) Such an institution as the present would be invaluable in the great metropolis of London, the crowded state of which in many districts was past belief. He himself had seen twenty living in oue room—three or four distinct families occupying one and the same apartment, which was not bigger than a common dressing-room or els ; three families disposed in opposite corners, and a fourth perhaps in the centre, was not an unfrequent sight. How was it possible that any consolation, either moral or medical, could be ad ministered to those unhappy individuals, should they need it, in the presence of the other occupants—(Hear, hear.), The hospital will remedy this. And in these crowded alleys could it be wondered at that disease and fever should pre vail. There was another observation which he wished to make. The Legislature was exceedingly to blame for not taking measures to compel the drainage of some of these localities, which were in a most beastly and disgusting state. In the mean time, however, it was their duty to remedy the ills of their fellow-creatures to the utmost of their power. The Noble Lord concluded by seconding the resolution, which, having been put was declared to be carried unanimously. Dr. JEFF announced a subscription of 5001. from Miss Burdett Coutts.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. COTTON moved the third resolution, which was to the effect, that every effort should be made to extend the usefulness of the institution ; and providing an annual subscription fund. Archdeacon MANNING confessed that he felt perfectly relieved from the necessity of saying much in support of the resolution which 'he had the honour of seconding after the eloquent and argumentative speeches of those that had preceded him. This hospital had in the last six years relieved no less than 70,000 individuals.— (Applause.) In the pig year it had relieved 17,000. Of those it was stated in the report 11,000 had been in patients, and of that number part had been dis charged as cured, and another number, not less than nine-tenths of the whole, had been relieved, and discharged partially cured, and had been assisted at their own houses. Between 14,000 and 15,000 had been relieved as outpatients. The relief which this institu tion had thus afforded to the heads of families, had been incalculable.—(Hear, hear.) The Venerable Archdea , con concluded an eloquent speech in aid of the objects of the resolution, amidst loud applause. His Grace put the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE expressed the great gratifi cation which he received in attending there that day, and expressed his willingness to become chairman of the committee appointed to raise funds for the charity, and concluded by moving a vote of thanks to the chairman. The Bishop of LONDON seconded the motion, which was put and carried unanimously. his GRACE having acknowledged the compliment in a short speech, in she course of which he expressed his sincere thanks to the illustrious Prince for the interest which be had manifested in the institution, The meeting separated at half-past four o'cloek. KING'S COLLEGE The annual distribution of prizes to the successful candi dates amongst the pupils in the carious branches of educa tion at this institution took place on Friday. The chair was taken at three o'clock in the newly-erected hall of the college, a very elegant and appropriate room for the purposes of ge neral- business, by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was supported on his right hand by the Duke c•f• Cam bridge, and on his left by the Bishop of London. There were also present the Bishops of Llandaff, Lichfield, and Calcutta; Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., M.P.; Mr. Pownall, an d many other supporters of the establishment. The remaining seats were crowded with the students, and with ladies and gentlemen. The Principal and the Professors were seated on the platform. The business was commenced by the Archbishop, who briefly stated the object of the meeting, after which the Principal arose, and announced the names of the students to whom the divinity prizes had been awarded. The students were then presented to the Archbishop, who handed the prizes (books) to each in turn, and addressed to each a short compliment. The various professors then an nounced to his Grace the names of the prizemen in the espective classes, and his Grace delivered to each the prize assigned him. The PRINCIPAL then announced the scholars for the pre sent year, and the students recommended for admission to the associateship of the college, and afterwards the stu dents in engineering. The following is the list of the successful students, and of the professors of the different faculties:— Divinity (the Principal)—Henry John Burfield, Roger Gadsden, Charles Bosworth Thurston, Fielder Hemmans, Edward James Hubbard, and Edward Jaques. Latin Verse, Latin Essay, English Verse, and Classics (Mr. Browne) Alfred John Church, George William Kitchen, George Oakley Vance, John Fenn Russell, Charles Walter Devis, John Brooks, and Thomas Waddington. Mathematics (Mr. Hall)—Henry William Watson, George Greenwood, George Rawlinson, Thomas Wiltshire, and Ar thur Finch. English (Mr. Maurice)—Alfred John Church, and James Jeakes. Stephen's Prize—Frederick Hyde Salter. Hellrew (Dr. M'Caul)—William Middleton Snell, J. J. Heywood, George Greenwood. French (Professor Brasseur)—Charles William Maugham.

Literary Union (the Principal)—George William Kitchin. The presentation of prizes having been concluded, the PRINCIPAL addressed his Grace the Visitor, and testified . to the good conduct of the students. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE then rose, an proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman. His Royal Highness expressed his gratification from what he had wit nessed; he regretted that he had not been present on former occasions, but said he would, for the future, if his life were spared, not fail to attend. The Bishop of LONDON seconded the motion in an appro.• priate speech. The vote was carried by acclamation, and, the Archbishop having returned thanks, the meeting broke up. THIRD REPORT of the COLONIAL BISHOPRICS' COMMITTEE. The Committee appointed to arrange measures 4 in con cert with her Majesty's Government, for the erection and endowment of additional bishoprics in the colonies and dependencies of Great Britain, cannot commence their third report without an expression of joy and thankfulness at the progress which, by God's blessings has been made in the great work since the time when it was committed to their care. During the past year the important colony of New Bruns wick and the Island of Ceylon were constituted independent dioceses, by the erection of bishops' sees at Fredericton and Colombo; and the committee are happy in being enabled to state that her Majesty the Queen has given her royal con sent to the immediate subdivision of the diocese of Aus tralia into three distinct bishoprics, by the establishment of one see at Morpeth for the northern division of New South Wales, and of another at Melbourne for the district of Port Phillip. These new sees, which could not have been constituted but for a generous sacrifice of private interest of the part of the Bishop of Australia, will derive a considerable portion of their endowment from the colonial bishoprics fund. Thus, then, within the space of five -years, which have elapsed since the 4. declaration of archbishops and bishops" was signed at Lambeth, nine new sees have been erected. Of these, two—namely, Gibraltar and Fredericton, derive their endowments almost exclusively from the fund placed at the disposal of the episcopal trustees; and four others—. namely, New Zealand, Tasmania, Melbourne, and Morpeth, receive important assistance from the same source. The re maining three—namely, Antigua, Guiana, and Colombo, have been endowed by means of a different distribution of the funds at the disposal of the imperial or colonial Government for ec clesiastical purposes. The foregoing summary will show that of the original de sign, as set forth in the " declaration of archbishops and bishops" great part has been already accomplished; and the Committee have much satisfaction in reporting that no less a sum than 15,0001. has been contributed towards the endow ment of a bishopric (not originally contemplated) within the British possessions in the Chinese seas. Of this endowment fund the sum of 5,0001. has been most liberally given by two individuals (over and above their donation of an equal sum for the erection of a college); 6,0001. was raised by congregational collections in the dio cese of London, under the authority of the Bishop's pastoral letter ; a grant of 2,0001. was voted by the Society for Pro moting Christian Knowledge, and about an equal amount has been remitted to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, by individual contributors. But a considerable addi tional sum will yet be required, and a special committee has been named to collect such further funds as may be neces sary to make a permanent provision for the see. Of the colonies still remaining without episcopal superin tendence, the Cape of Good Hope and South Australia have been mentioned in preceding reports as presenting the strongest claims; and it would have been the duty of the Committee on the present occasion to renew the appeal on their behalf, had it not pleased God to put it into the heart of an individual member of the Church, by an exercise of al most unexampled liberality, to guarantee adequate endow ments for a bishvric in each of those colonies. It is well known that the Lord Bishop of Calcutta is using the most strenuous efforts to obtain a subdivision of his own enormous diocese, by the erection of a bishopric at Agra, for the north-west provinces. Such an arrangement is impera tively required for the welfare and extension of the Church of England in Northern India : while the recent wonderful spread of Christianity in the southern provinces of Tanjore and Tinnevelly must, ere long, force attention to the im portance of sending forth a chief pastor for the special over sight •f those infant churches. The Committee, before concluding their report, consider it a duty incumbent upon them to s p ec if y th ose other pos sessions of the Crown which, f rom th e i r imp3rtance, as well as their distance from any exi s ti ng see , appear to re quire resident bishops. They are principally Sierra Leone, Western Australia, the Mauritius, and Prince Rupert's Land. But it is obvious that a further subdivision will ere long be required in many of the existing dioceses, and even at present, the rapidly-increasing population of Canada, taken in connexion with its vast territorial extent, demands for the efficient administration of the Church within that pro vince an addition of at least two bishops. Upon the whole, although the Committee do not look for ward to an early termination of their labours, they cannot but regard the success which has hitherto been vouchsafed to them as an encouragement to persevere in the good work which they have undertaken, till the Church, by the Divine blessing, has been fully organised in every dependency of the British Crown. This important end, however, cannot be attained without a strenuous and united effort on the part of the church at home ; and the committee feel assured that they shall not call in vain upon the faithful members of that church to help forward its extension, by their active co-operation and their continual prayers.

EAGLES.—A great number of eagles' nests have ap peared on the estate of Applecross this season, and notwith standing the exertions of the gam e k eeper to get the birds destroyed, they seem to increase. It i s s i ngular that game is increasing very rapidly in the immediate vicinity of these eyries, and it would appear that the eagle will not molest game if it can obtain carrion. Applecross abounds naturally to a very great degree with vermin, and it is nevertheless as well stocked with game as any estate in the Highlands. A number of corn- fields close to the villages were perfectly destroyed last harvest, by h er d s o f red deer which invaded them.—lnverness Courier. AN INFIDEL. WIFE.—We read in a letter from Berlin of the 20th, published by the Gazette des Tribunaux, " About three years ago M r . an d M rs. Aston, natives of London, ar rived at Berlin with t h e i r daughter, two years old, and soon afterwards fixed their residence here by virtue of a spe cial authorisation from the Minister of Justice. Towards the end of February last Mr. Aston applied for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of her having for some time openly professed atheism, and he at the same time demanded that the child might be given np to him, in order to prevent its being educated in the atheistical principles of the mother. The Tribunal of First Instance of Berlin, after having re ceived from the mouth of Mrs. Aston an avowal that she did not believe in God, pronounced the divorce, and ordered that the child should be given up to the father within a week. This sentence was, upon appeal, confirmed by the Upper Court. Scarcely an hour after the confirmation of the judg ment, Mrs. Aston received an order from the director of police to quit Berlin in two days, and the Prussian territory within a week. She appealed to the King, but received for reply that there was no ground for modifying this order; and talie has left Berlin for Strasburg. LITERATURE. _ LEONTINE ; or the COURT of LOUIS XV. A Novel. 3 Vols. By Mrs. Maberly. Occurring between the gorgeous sovereignty of the grand monarque, and the melancholy downfall of his un fortunate descendant, the reign of Louis XV., is not de void of interest ; an d its caracter corresponds well with its situation, combining many of the features both of the preceding and the following reign, it shared in the faults of the one, and contributed to the misfortunes of tha other. It is hardly possible for the unprejudiced spectator, looking back upon those scenes, after the lapse of years, to restrain his surprise and indignation that such things ever were. Let no one speak of the horrors of the revolution without first analysing the epoch which preceded it—he will there find excuse for its excess, perhaps palliation of its enormities. It is of this epoch, its king, its court, and its customs, that the volumes of " Leontine" furnish a picture. We are initiated into all the mysteries of those corrupted circles, where sin and shame reigned supreme ; where pleasure alone was sought by all, and happiness found by none. And yet, amid all their gaity and insouciance, the shadow of coming evils was felt even by the reckless—it was only the shadow, and they cared not. The prophetic exclamation of Madame de Pompadour was apparently the conviction of all—" Apres nous, le deluge." Apart from the interest attached to the narrative, a tale of French life, of that period, and consequently not very attractive, save as regards the heroine—the gentle, meek and noble-hearted Le ontine—devoted in love, and self sacrificing in devotion —apart from the interest attached to the narrative itself, these volumes will be regarded with attention, from their historical bearing. The cha racters of the King and Queen are very vividly por trayed ; the sorrow of L ou i s on t h e death of his mis tress, the beautiful Duchess of Chateauroux, is described with great force and great feeling. The fortunes of the celebrated Marquise de Pompadour, so conspicuous in history, occupy a considerable portion of these volumes. She appears before us in her innocent girlhood ; as a neglected wife, longing for gaity and admiration ; and then as the sovereign of a court, mistress of the King, and real ruler of the country. The following is a sketch of her at the time of her elevation : "In a word, everything and nothing in the same moment. Imagine the lightness of a butterfly, with the depth of a sage ; the dignity of a queen, with the playfulness of a child ; the grace of Terpsichore, with the stern wildness of Medea ; the softness of a woman, with the decision of a man ; imagine any two things, or twenty things, and twenty others diametric ally opposite, and turn them, and mix them together in every direction, and then you will have a pretty clear idea of the character of the new Marquise de Pompadour, while she will retain the advantage of appearing in all her disguises equally fascinating." The real hero of the tale is the famous Richelieu—not the Cardinal, but the Duke, " the glass of fashion, and the mould of form," the favourite of the King and Court. A description of him will be interesting of itself, and it serves as a type of the men and manners of the times. " One of the ruling passions of Richelieu was an inordinate love of money. Although possessed of ample means, he was continually in distress, for in order to support his taste for effect, the most lavish expenditure was necessary. Popu larity and a reputation for generosity were also among his cherished desires, and as he well knew this was not to be effected without some means more tangible than words or smiles, he had never failed to draw largely upon those re sources which his official position enabled him to command. During the time of his embassy to Vienna, the Duke de Ri chelieu had squandered sums of unheard-of magnitude. His entry into that city had fixed by its magnificence the atten tion of all Europe. Thirty six carriag es , w h ose ve l vet pane l s blazed with gold and precious stones, followed in his train ; but as a proof that he desired others to share in his advan tages, he had caused all his horses to be shod with shoes of solid silver, affixed to their hoofs by only a single nail, and, of course, in a very short time not one retained its original position, and the spoil being abandoned to the populace, the name of Richelieu was lauded to the skies. The rest of his equipments fully corresponded with this display; but so great were the advantages to be produced by the negotiation with which he had been entrusted, that the Government of France hastened to comply with every extravagance of demand which he thought proper to make. The success of his under taking, and the splendour of the talents which he had mani fested, encircled him with such a halo of intellectuality and renown, that the murmurs of the more prudent were hushed, and as long as his position could warrant it he continued his career of profligate expenditure. When his mission was con cluded, and he returned to his comparatively private place at Court, his habits lost nothing of their former magnifi cence; but his fortune, though large, could by no means withstand the inroads made upon it by constant dissipation. Nothing daunted, however, he persevered in his profusion, but the time had arrived when the want of money began to be felt at court. The public revenues were continually drained by the expenses of the war, and the habits of the nobles were such as to insure sooner or later the ruin of their class. Even in the article of dress, the etiquette of court exacted enormous sacrifices. Many thousands of pounds were expended upon a single suit, and no one with any preten sions to fashion could present himself more than once in the same costume. It often happened that the whole property of which a man was possessed might be found upon his per son, and but too many thus situated hastened t o su ppl y th e deficiencies of fortune by means the most dishonourable, and which ill accorded with the high tone and courtly manners by which society was then distinguished. In these practices Richelieu by no means suffered himself to be outdone by his friends, and his wonderful powers of fascination, and great position in the world of fashion, afforded him opportunities of enriching himself of which hen ever scrupled to take advantage. Many of the lesser nobles deemed themselves honoured by the fact of being numbered amongst the ereditm s of Riche lieu, who thought them amply repaid by an invitation to supper, or a word of friendship or good fellowship scattered amongst them in public. Untrammelled by any principle or feeling . save that of his interest or will, he continued to re volve in his brilliant orbit, the envy and admiration of the whole court." THE LATE MR. HAYDON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—Nearly 20 years ago (July 9th, 1827) your journal published an appeal, or rather a complaint of poor Ilaydon's, too plainly foreshowing the destiny of his helpless and hope less career. At this moment, when the dead man attracts a notice which the living could never obtain, his sad letter may not be inaptly reprinted. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. - _ " Sir,—ln the Literary Gazette of Saturday week was pub lished a report of what had been spent by the directors of the British Gallery in favour of British artists—viz., 75,0001. in pictures sold, 14,0001. in pictures purchased by the directors, and 5,0001. in premiums bestowed. " Perhaps, in my present condition of bitter degradation, it will not be considered ungrateful in me to state that I never received one guinea of the 75,0001. laid out in pictures sold at the British Gallery ; that of the 14,0001. bestowed by the directors in purchases I have never had the honour of receiving one shilling; and that of the 5,0001. spent in pre miums, only 1001. was voted as a premium. 100/. as a pre mium during 23 years ! That at this moment my 'Judgment of Solomon' is rolled up in a winehouse in the Borough !

That my' Lazarus is in an upholsterer's shop in Mount-street ! and my Crucifixion,' in a hayloft in Lisson-grove ! " My being unable, therefore, to meet the just demands on me at present is not, I hope, wholly unaccounted for. " Sir, yours, " B. R. HAYDON. " King's Bench Prison, July 7." One hundred pounds in 23 years 1 and not a penny during the next 19! The utilitarians to whom we vote our hundreds of thousands of pounds, in reward for their having made their own fortunes by railroad schemes, will piously wonder •ver the suicide, whom 42 years of neglect have driven into his desperate grave. Long before the date of his letter to the Herald, Haydon had been liberated from gaol as an insolvent, under which process one of his finest pictures (a debt contracted for its gilt frame being, I believe, in his schedule ; and another, pro bably, for its canvas and colours), was sold to a tradesman for less than the cost price of its materials! _ .

[Surely these facts only tend the more conspicuously to evidence the necessity for some sweeping reformation in the treatment which so many of our countrymen have received, and are receiving, from the Legislature ! Delicacy alone prevents us from mentioning individuals now living who have acquired for themselves a claim upon the gratitude of their country, but who are at this moment pining silently and secretly, as poor Haydon pined during two -and-forty weary years of disappointment and penury, their great claim unrecognised, their sufferings unappeased by the balm of sympathy l Delicacy, we say, though we acknowledge it to be but a presumptive and hypothetical deli cacy, after all. For it arises from that morbid sensi tiveness, which is the usual accompaniment of genius. We have already adduced the contumely awarded to Chatterton, the starvation of Otway, and the deathful labours of Hood ; we might, unhappily, extend the cata logue of intellectual agony threefold, but that what we have already observed is of itself more than sufficient. When we find an old man like Haydon, who has adorned his country with such noble works, driven to death by a protracted career of misery, is there not a proof that some radical change is requisite ? When we find less than ten thousand pounds annually appropriated to the solace of our illustrious sufferers, shall we say that Government is acting fairly, generously, nobly, justly ?

This defence did not avail, and the ex-king and ex-minister (for both had been deposed by orders from Copenhagen) were condemned to die.
