SHOWING HOW PEEL WENT FURTHER THAN HE INTENDED, AND CAME SAFE HOME AGAIN. Sir Robert Peel was a Minister Of credit and renown ; And, eke, by virtue of his place, Adviser'oz the Crown. Now RICHARD COBDEN said to him, " Protected Corn has been Thro' thrice ten tedious years, since eight- Teen hundred and fifteen. " Yet landlords and eke tenants say Of profits they despair ; Despite Protection, growing corn Is a losing affair. " There's Mr. BRIGHT, and there's myself, And Mr. Fox—make three ; We've raised a League, and you must ride (As BEN says) after we." Said PEEL, " Your doctrines I admire, But I am only one ' • Still, if the Duke will stick to me, I'll try what can be done. " I am a Premier stout and bold, As all my party know ; And my good friends in Manchester Will lend their horse to go." Now see him in his new Tariff, On Free Trade—noble steed ! Full slowly taking duties off, With caution and good heed. Then came the blight, and fears arose We'd not have food to eat, Free Trade, from walking, 'gan to trot, Which shook PEEL in his seat. " Fairly and softly," PEEL he cried, But PEEL he cried in vain ; The trot became a gallop soon, And Free Trade flew amain. Then giving up, as needs he must Who cannot help his plight, PEEL seized Free Trade, and like a shot Flew past Protection quite. Free Trade, who by a Tory lord Had ne'er been cross'd before, What thing upon his back had got Did wonder more and more, Away went ROBERT—neck or nought, Past Radical and Whig ; He little thought when he begun His bill would be so big. The Post did bark, the Herald scream'd Out spoke the farmers all, And every Duke cried out " For shame!" As loud as he could bawl. Away went Robert ! Who but he ? Free Trade, still gaining ground, He carries weight—he'll win his race, His horse's wind is sound. Still, as Division-day drew near 'Tomas wonderful to view How overboard the men in place Their old convictions threw. Thro' manufactures of all kinds His gambols he did play, And came to Corn-laws at the last, Which stood dead in the way. The sliding-scale be knock'd about Unto his friends' dismay, And fix'd how that at three years' end The tax should die away. Free Trade, not satisfied at all To wait for three years more, Straight gallopp'd off with all his might, As he had done before. Away went Robert, with the League Still thundering at his heel, Insisting loud in total and Immediate repeal. The county Members in the House, Thus seeing Robert fly, With Lord John Russell in his rear, Set up a hue and cry : " Stop thief ! Stop thief ! a highway man :" Not one of them was mute, And Ben Disraeli and Colquhoun Did join in the pursuit. In the " Protection" heavy coach, The Upper House gave chase ; But Free Trade's bottom, bone, and wind, Made it a hopeless race. The race is run, the race is won With credit and renown ; Nor did Free Trade draw breath until The Corn-laws he ran down. Now let us sing Long live the League, And Cobden, long live he ; And when Peel next doth ride Free Trade, May Punch his Laureat be. ipon.

THE PROVIDENT CLERKS' 111 - TUAL BENEFIT ASSOCIATION. The fifth annual general meeting of the donors, sub scribers; and friends of the benevolent department of this as sociation was held last evening, in the large room of the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The meeting was very fully attended. Dr. MULLINDER, the secraary, having read the advertise ment convening the meeting, Mr. RICHARD HENRY. JONES, the Deputy-Chairman of the Board of Managers, read the report, which stated that "the managers, in meeting the friends, members, and patrons, for the fifth time, had had great cause of con gratulation, inasmuch as the results of the year 1845 had been most encouraging. During the year 1845 many influ ential gentlemen . and firms who had, in the first outset of the association, been lukewarm, had during the past year given their names to the association ; amongst whom might be noticed Messrs. Crawford, Colvin, and Company, Jones, Loyd, and Company, and the Court of Directors of the East and West India Dock Company, who had each subscribed 1001. to the funds, the latter body re commending their clerks to become members. The report referred to the fact of a resolution having been passed at the last annual meeting authorising the election of two an nuitant:-, and that the hoard, after the most mature de liberation, found that there were not two members duly qualified by length of membership, according to the rules, but Ling desirous to put the most liberal construction upon the rules for the benefit of members, had selected two cases; the husband of the one, an assurer, being at that time an inmate of a lunatic asylum, his wife having four children dependent upon her .exertions for support (he having. assured with the .Society for 1001.,) the other a sub scriber to the Benevolent Fund; but before the intentions of the board could be carried into effect with respect to the first case the husband died, yet, nevertheless, lest the inten tions of the association should not be liberally carried out, the board determined to allow this widow to become a can didate, and the board are happy to add that these two widows were elected to receive annuities of 151. each sub ject to this meeting conferring the continuance of such annuity. Here it ought to be remarked that no other candidates had offered themselves, The suggestion of a public dinner had been a most happy one, inasmuch as the sum collected, inclusive of the three donations already alluded to, had been nearly 1,000/. The report also alluded to the circumstance of two attempts having been made during the past year to establish societies for particular sections of clerks, but which had proved abortive,' and had been abandoned. The managers had,-by the advice of the treasurer, fixed the 6th of May next for the election of two more annuitants; and the evening of such day as the occasion of a general dinner of the friends, supporters, and patrons. The list of stewards already offered were of the most influential character. The report then went on to shew that the loan department had been most successful and beneficial - to members, and that during the past year every case of application for temporary' relief had been most promptly met. As also that the situa tion book had been of great service to members. Particular stress was laid upon this department, as a means whereby much good might accrue to the members. The report then noticed that the gratuitous services of the talented medical officers of the asscciation had not only been continued to members, but in many cases bad been beneficially applied to the families of members, and that in several in stances the same line of conduct had been kindly pursued in the provincial towns. The report also noticed that several suggestions had been made by members with the view to make the association more popular, every one of which sug gestions had received the most attentive consideration of the managers; and some members entertained the notion that, with the present small rate of annual contribution to this particular branch of the association, viz., 11. ls. per annum, they must necessarily be entitled to positive and fixed annuities quite irrespective of age and other circumstances, but for an answer to which the board referred to Mr. Massen's late work " Contributions to Vital Statistics," as also to the letters of the secretary of this society iu the Bankers' and Post Magazines of September and October last. It appeared from the report, that during the past year the number of agents in the provincial towns had been more than doubled, and that every day new members were joining both branches of the associ ation. The report also alluded to the circumstance of the house of Magniac, Jardine, and Co., of which J. A. Smith, Esq., M.P., is a partner, having assured with the association the lives of each of their clerks for sums varying from 1,000/. down to 2504 making each gentleman a present of his policy. Many portions of the report were received with great cheering. Thostsosr !TAMMY, Jun., Esq., on moving that the report be adopted and printed, expressed his regret that the task which had been assigned to him, had fallen into his hands, in consequence of the absence of several gentlemen of much higher standing in the city than himself. He regretted this the more because they should have had the opinions of gen tlemen who had not attended their meetings so regularly as he had—(Applause)---but who were deeply aware of tha importance of the Society, who had expressed their cordial assent to its rules, and also had stated that at any time they should feel happy to do all in their power to benefit it.—( Hear, hear.) He thought it was hardly neces sary for him to make any observations with respect to the report. The proceedings of the past year were so fully de tailed as to render it unnecessary for him to detain themwith any remarks respecting it, but the meeting must excuse him for a few minutes, whilst he expressed, certainly, different feelings to those he had given utterance to on previous occa sions. His feelings were totally at variance with those he had entertained at any previous meeting which he had had the pleasure of, attending in that room.—(Ch eers .) I t cou ld not be a subject of small satisfaction to those gentlemen who had watched the progress of the institution since its com mencement, to know and to feel that it had now taken root, and that it was likely to make that progress which all those who had taken an interest in it from the beginning had so cordially desired.—(Great applause.) He thought, then, that he might venture to give expression to feelings very different from those which he addressed to the members of the association at their meeting last year. He thought he might venture now to congratulate the mem bers on the progress—the substantial progress—that had been made during the past year.--(Great applause.) Ile thought they would now see the Institution go on in a state of constant and satisfactory Frogression.—(Cheers.) This was no small pleasure tothose who felt, as he knew those gen tlemen did who had taken so much interest in the institution since its origin, that the interest of their clerks in London was intimately connected with the interests of their own .... —.- houses,. and liow mainly they were indebted for their suc cess in business to those on whom the proper management of it principally depended.- (Cheers.) He knew, however, that these sentiments had been expressed before more forci bly than he could lay claim to ; but he knew that they were sentiments in which he was joined by every brother mer chant in that metropolis.—(Cheers.) He was sure there were none but felt the intimate connexion that must exist between the heads of houses and their clerks and how mainly they . were indebted to their exertions, to the integrity of their character, and to their ability and zeal, for every success which had att en d e d t h em i n th e i r pur suits.—(Hear.) Feeling this, as he did—a feeling in which, as he had said, he was sure his brother merchants had parti cipated—how could they but feel a deep interest in their pernianent prosperity, and in the success of any institution which tended to provident habits —habits which were so highly essential to the welfare of the principal as well as of his clerks?—(Hear.) However, this was a topic on which he would not allow himself to dwell, as he was sure, in dealing with it, he should only detain them longer than he would wish.—(Cries of " No, no.") But he must beg leave to express the great pleasure he entertained at the great increase which had taken place in their funds during the past year.—(Cheers.) Not that he thought that hitherto the institution had been joined by so large a number as he still hoped and looked forward with pleasure to see in the course of a few years.—(Hear.) But he thought that the accession of members would ultimately do away with the great difficulty which the directors had had to encounter of providing for the uncertainty of the relief required in cases of need.—(Hear.) Now,' how could they best obviate that difficulty ? How could that relief which was so much desired in such cases be rendered as certain as possible? A satisfactory mode of effecting this was felt to be all important by those who take an interest in the insti tution.—(Cheers.) It appeared to him that this difficulty must continue to exist until a corsiderably greater num ber had joined the association—(L ou d cheers)—for it seemed to be highly desirable that a large proportion out of the whole number of . persons qualified t o b e mem b ers o f that in stitution should join it, in order' to enable those entrusted with its direction to obtain that statistical information necessary for the proper apportionment of the funds at their command, to enable them to decide without hesitation in giving that regular assistance in the time of need, Which would make every member satisfied that, then the day of adversity should overtake him, he would find a sure refuge and aid, when his misfortunes were of a nature to require it.—(Hear, hear.) He had taken the liberty of ex pressing these opinions, because he strongly felt their im portance. When the number anticipated had joined them, the directors would be enabled to form an average of the demands which would be made upon them. When this took place, they would have attained the desideratum they all had in view. He concluded by moving, " That the report for the year 1845, now read, be adopted and printed, under the direction of the managers;" and resumed his seat amidst general cheering. J. Coca, Esq., of the firm of Trueman and Cook, in seconding the motion, said he felt a degree of interest in the welfare of the institution.--(Hear, hear.) It was a glorious thing to see in that great city—a city re nowned over the whole world, not only for its wealth and cot:a mmo—but renowned over the whole world for its liberal support of everything benevolent and philanthropic ; and not one of its least remarkable features was the establishment of institutions like the oue in which they were so deeply in- terested. The Ctiaffutme said, before he put the motion, he wished it to be understood that a separate resolution would be put to the meeting, with respect to the confirmation of the pro ceedings at the last election ; and that the adoption of the motion then before them would not prevent them from making any remarks on that subject. The motion was then adopted. The CHAIRMAN then proposed, ‘f That the proceed ings at the election of annuitants of the 28th of May last be confirmed, and that the two annuitants then conditionally elected, be, by this meeting declared to be per manently so elected, subject to the rules and regulations of the Association for the time being." R. IL JONES, Esq., seconded the motion, which was carried. T. BARING, Esq., M,P., rose to propose the next resolution. He said, owing to a mistake as to the hour for which the meeting was called, he had not heard the report read, and apologised for his non-attendance at the commencement of the proceedings. He knew, however, enough of the report to be cognisant of the improved aspect of their affairs. They had hitherto had the same tale to tell, and it had generally been told by the same narrators; but the vase was altered, as their affairs had improved , a nd those who had riot , ipo i cen on former eeceaions now did so. He had great pleasure in meeting the members of the I nstitution, an d expressing his ardent hope that the iaiceess they had. alre a dy o b ta i ne d might be greatly augmented. Ills approbation of the S oc iety had in no degree diminished, and he was delighted to find that the opinions he had expressed with respect to it had been more than realised. Their position this year was superior to the last, and there was every reason to anticipate a greAter addition to their funds, which had, and would con tinue to be, Applied to benevolent and charitable purposes. He said benevolent and eharitable purposes, because the reso lution which had been put into his halide materially partook of these attributes, as it was to the following etS'ect : # 4 That on the 6th of May next, or such other 'day as the board may appqntf 4p notice of the same being given to the members, a special general meethig ~ he held for th e purpose o f electing two additional annuitants, being meroh er ,, pr widows of members," This was the best proo f he cou ld Per that er that their funds were in a good state, that their prospects were im proving, and that they were about to e4tend the benfiti of the Institution to others. It was satisfactory to know, that as their funds increased they did not hoard them,' but 'spent them in benevolence to a class of society , of whom there were a great number in the city of Londo n, and who had great claims upon the mei chante on accoun t o f t he nature of their dlxtk p i p Hon, cientiemau resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. WILLIAM SMILE, Es q . , Chief Accountant of the Bank of England, seconded the motion. Mr. Lanes called the attention of the meeting to the 14th rule of the Institution, and stated that it contradicted itself. It stated that no business should take place at a special general meeting, except what was stated in the report, or in the paper furnished to them, and yet a power was given to the directors to suspend the officers of the Institution at these meetings, if they thought proper. The CHAIRMAN reminded Mr. Lewis that that was not the proper time to propose the abrogation of one of the laws of the Society, as this was a meeiing of the Benevolent Depart ment of the Institution. Mr. LEwss said the directors of one department occupied a similar position in the other. He had had no notice eel the intentions of the directors, and therefore he had availed himself of the first opportunity to refer to the subject. Dr. MULLINDER said the rules of the Institution required that notice should be given by advertisement or otherwise, and not " and otherwise." The chairman then held in his hand a letter which had been addressed from the office to Mr. T. D. Lewis, 3, Windsor-terrace, Dover-road, which had been returned by tt.e Post-office with "not known" endorsed upon it. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said this was only mentioned for the pur pose of showing that if Mr. Lewis did not receive a notice it was unintentional on the part of the office. Mr. LEWIS said he received a notice at Isis office, 64, Moorgate-street, with respect to this meeting. The motion was then adopted. J. J. Ismael; Esq , said that so many observations had been addressed to the chairman in the course of the evening that he was glad to be in a position to relieve him of the trouble of putting the resolution he held in his hand to the meeting. It was to the following effect :—" That the warmest thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby presented to the treasurer and trustees for theircontinual patronage and sup port." They did him the honour a short time ago to elect him as one of their directors, and he had done all in his power to promote the interests of the Institution. The resolution he felt ought to have been placed in abler hands, because he thought he could not do justice to the subject, or adequately enlarge on the necessity of such an Institution as this to the clerks of London. He felt that in coining amongst them this evening they were not unmindful of their own interests, but those interests were made secondary to the generous views, good feelings, and enlightened perception, which belonged to the high mercantile classes. Having said so much, he might now address the chair, because he felt that he was called upon to snake a few observations bearing on the natui e and object of the Institution at large. It had at one time been considered that a clerk was nobody. Persons in a very humble sphere of life, when they were asked in what manner they would bring up their children, would say, that they would article them to builders and surveyors; and others of a still humbler class would answer that they would apprentice them to tailors, carpenters, or to shoemakers. They all ap peared to think that tailors, carpenters, and shoemakers, were somebodies, but that a clerk was "nobody." He would ask why clerks were considered as nobody, and he would wish to have the question answered. They would be nothing in the eyes of political economists who regarded men in proportion as they contributed to some physical or tangible want of human nature, but if they were regarded as men, contributing by their exertions to the highest branches of commerce of this the greatest commercial country in the world, they would be considered " somebody" in the scale of society. They would be looked upon not as individuals, but as men who afforded a considerable stimulus to commerce in general. Independently of the claim of this class to valuable assistance from their superiors, they ought to feel confidence in their own powers, and those powers could only be brought into action by com bination, and that combination was now offered to them by this Society, headed by some of the principal commercial men in this country. It was impossible to contemplate the extent to which such an institution might be carried. As yet, however, this great metropolis had been comparatively untouched by the operations of the Society, but he relied on the energies of the present meeting, who felt the prospects of the Institution, and who would, he was sure, inculcate that feeling to the utmost amongst others. The example set in this country had net been adopted in any other, but it had been foreshadowed to some extent, and this association might calculate upon being - imitated elsewhere. He felt it necessary to make some apologies for having di verged from the express form of the resolution and for having so far trespassed on the attention of the meeting ; but he would once more impress upon them that the work was in their own hands ; and although they had some very high and honourable merchants at their board, they must depend on their own exertions. Let them remember the exertions made at the Bristol meeting, at which every gentleman present was made to take the task of securing in a given time some friend who would also join that Association. Let them adopt that course, and the object they pursued would be accomplished both to the satisfaction of the merchants at their head, and of themselves. Mr. W. J. JORDAN seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said that it had not been proposed that the resolution just read should be put to them by him, be cause being treasurer, the thanks expressed in that resolu tion would be put for himself, by himself. In anticipation, however, of the resolution being carried, and in anticipation of that respect which he had invariably met in that room, he would trouble them with a few observations. Mr. Baring bad ably contrasted the different circumstances under which he had been able to address the meeting, as compared with the Chairman. The progress made by the Institution during the last twelve months, if it did not place them in a state of absolute security, at least gave them the certa inty of much further progress, and justified the most sangumeexpecta tion that the Society would be an enduring one, and it was, as he knew, founded on those principles which would stand the test of experience, and which, in England, were sure sooner or later to win. If, as he believed, the Society was founded on the interests of the clerks as much as on the in terests of the persons who guided them; he felt, that as to the numerical strength of the Institution, it would bear compari son with any other in the kingdom. His pleasure at observ ing the progress of the Institution was great, but his dis appointment would be equally great—it would be excessive, if the Society, not only did not increase, but if it remained continually in its present position. From the beginning he had been an earnest supporter of the Society, for the more he reflected the more he was satisfied that the clerk who was relieved from that most pain ful anxiety—the fear of destitution falling on his wife and children—was a much better and a much more efti- cient servant to his employer, as he knew that a provision had been made fur his family, and he was able to give him self more completely and more devotedly to the duties im• posed upon him. The advantages of the Institution must be evident to those persons who looked upon it with the coldest and most calculating view of self-interest. The name of hi.s house had been mentioned as having insured the lives of their clerks.—(Hear.) He was very much obliged to them, but he begged to be distinctly understood that he did so, not only from a warm wish for the welfare of this Society, but from the deliberate conviction that it was his own interest to do so.— (Hear, hear.) He should take the liberty of adding, that those who attributed too much to himself or partners were wrong in their commendations. itt , the same time be did not wish to undervalue his good wishes to the Institution. His exertions for that establishment were made in order that an example might be set—that a footing might be gained on real grounds; an example to the least extent would be beneficial, and a conviction of that fact brought to his mind what would be the best interests of the Society. He felt—he was confident—that the greater their union was the greater would be their support, and the extent to which they would be united must depend solely on the zeal, the co-operation, and encouragement, which every individual belonging to that Institution must feel himself bound to give to it and its measures. The resolution was then read as follows :—" Resolved, that the warmest thanks of this meet ing are due, and are hereby presented, to the treasurer and trustees for their continual patronage and support." Mr. IsELIN then put the resolution to the meeting. It was carried unanimously, and with loud and continued cheering. JOHN ALEX. HANKEY, Esq., rose to move the sth'resolution. He said that no doubt the meeting had been told tfiat the suc cess of the Institution depended mainly on their own exertions. In future they must look to their own endeavours as much as to the gentlemen to whom the management of the affairs were entrusted. (Hear, hear.) They had had the most zealous support, which had raised the Institution to an eminence hardly to be anticipated in the beginning. It was the first time he had had the honour of appearing before them, but, although he had not attended their meetings, he had not been inattentive to their interests and to the interests of the Institution. He had done all in his power to forward it, as he had been for many years aware of the necessity of such an establishment. The East and West India Dock Company, of which he was Deputy-Chair man, had also been long aware of the necessity of such an institution, and some few years ago they had established a benefit society, very much inferior to the present one he admitted, but still it was done on similar principles. He had done all in his power to assist that establishment, and should always do so in cases of a like nature. Before he concluded his remarks, he had one observation to make. He was afraid that there had been some misconception as to the claim that the providence 01 clerks gave on such an institution. He must say that a provident disposition was certainly an indirect claim on the part of a member, and would, in many ways, tend to pro mote the interests of the Society. The sth resolution was then read as follows:—" Resolved, that the best thanks of this meeting be presented to the auditors, honorary solici tors, the medical officers, and actuary, for their continued va luable services." J. ANDERSON, Esq., of the firm of Anderson, Bro thers," said that he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. It was the first time he had had the pleasure of being there, but he had seen an account of the receipts on the occasion of a dinner that had been given, and they were very satisfactory. He would ask the Chairman to allow him to be one of their stewards on the occasion of the next dinner. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Dr, JiMe, the physiciapite the Institution, said that he hoped that he, with the other gentlemen with him, had en deavoured to fulfil their duties to their utmost, and they re ceived this mark of approbation with very great pleasure, and felt sure that it would be an incentive to continue their exertions. He had reason to rejoice that he attended the benefit • department, and he trusted that, whatever might b( the result of the Institution, he might be able to show that the value of the lives of clerks was as much, and, perhaps, more, than the value of many other lives. That would:un doubtedly be the case, provided that many of the super fluities of life were dispensed with, and the style:of living altered. That course would remove one of the prevailing causes of anxiety. He hoped that the members of *the nstitutioa would feel that the medical gentleman would'en deavour to do all in their power to promote and carry out to the fullest extent their benevolent wishes. With regard to the sanatorium—as he had been instrumental in bringing forward and recommending that institution—he could not help feeling great regret at the want of support which had been shown with reference to it. It was founded solely for the purpose of relieving the suffering of clerks who were af flicted, and it was a matter of sorrow it had not succeeded. Mr. HoWDEN said that he, with several other gentlemen, had endeavoured to do all in their power to I ncrease t h e m embers of the Society, and:also for the increase oflthe funds. The largeness of their actual fund would be the loadstone which would attract all persons. Feeling that this was the case, heproposed that every reeMber who was a subs cr ib e' should, in his next subscription, place himself down for the suns of one guinea in addition to his annual subscription, iu order to increase the permanent fund. There were about 1,000 members, and their subscription;, sa collected, would make a great addition to the Rind. He very much doubted whether, in some instances, they could not get five or even ten guineas, instead . of the subscription asked He boped, however, that what e ve r yiews the Society might entertain with regard to the resolution he was about to put to them, that they would do their utmost to carry out that Institution which had been so ablv'and so laboriously begun by their employers. If they did 'so the subscribers would i ncrease sp fast that the. secretary would have diffi • culty in taking down their names.—(Laughter,) If this suggestion were adopted, the addition of the guinea would render the permanent fund nearly double. The resolution was then read' as' follows : " Resolved,—That every member of this society, both sub scribers Old assurers, pledge themselves to raise by addi tional subscription, at least one guinea each person, for the purpose of augmenting the permanent fund."• - • Bwirr seconded the respiatien, Mr. BROWN then rose and said, that although he was a stranger to the Institution, he had that evening heard their claims on public support, and he had come to the determina tion of joining the Association. It had been proposed that each member should get a friend who would also join the Association. Herfor one would be glad to introduce a gen tleman who would become a member. The CHAIRMAN then said, before he put the resolution be proposed to call the attention of Mr. Ilowden to the impossi bility of pledging any person who was not present. He pro posed that the resolution should be put in the form of a re commendation. It would be very unwise and very unfair to attempt to carry a resolution that might be by no means effectual. After some discussion on the subject the resolution was withdrawn. • " Mr. WILT-um RENNELL moved the sixth resolution— " That the thanks of this meeting are due to the board of managers for their continued devotion to the interest of the Association. Mr. J. R. LLOYD seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously Mr. RICHARD HENRY JONES moved—" That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to John Abel Smith, Esq., for presiding on this occasion, and for the deep interest he has always show for the prosperity and welfare of the Association. Mr. JOHN WHITE WELCH secondee the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CIIAIR3IAN, in returning thanks, amid great c heeri n g, stated that he wa s happy to find that the little he had been able to accomplish for this invaluable Institution had been so much appreciated by its members. He could assure the meeting that his personal exertions should never be relaXed to make the Society known.from the east to the west, and from the north to the south—(Cheers)—and he trusted that the time was not far distant when the Provident Clerks' Atsoci *fiat' would take its place among the largest, as it was ever the most useful, association in the metropolis.—(Loud cheers.) There was only one subject more on which he wished to touch, and that was to state that, having benefited so largely last year by the dinner, he trusted that every exertion would be made for the one that was to take place during the present year.—(Cheers.)

Feb. 10, 1846. ?NM • HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES .OF THE CHEST, Bnommon.—On Saturday afternoon, a committee of gentlemen, including Colonel Le Blanc, Otho Hamilton, Esq., Dr. Forbes, Dr. Roe, Dr. Dickson, &c., the architect, secre tary, and other officers of the institution, inspected the west wing and principal entrance of this truly beautiful and inte resting building at Bromptou. The greatest satisfaction was expressed by all at the admirable manner in which the ar chitect's (F. J. Francis, Eaq.) design kas been carried out by the builders. The warming and ventilation is rapidly oipro gressing, and arrangements are being made for the r i pLic e ari a of temperature of various degrees, tic) as to approx imat e n the th, of different climates to particular apartments. On __ occa sion of the opening of t am e portion of the buildi n g . referred to, a grand fancy fair and bazaar will bo held zu the Royal Gardens of Chelsea College and Old Ranelagli, of which her Majesty the Queen, through Sir Henry Wheatley, and the Queen Dowager, through Lord Howe, have graciously signi fied their intention of patronizing. When sufficient funds are available for the completion of the building, the charity will be second to none in the empire. Robert Baxter, Esq., has recently subscribed the sum of 100/. 4 and " A receiver of many mercies" 501., in aid of the building fund. REVELATIONS Or RUSSIA IN 1846, BY AN ENGLISH RESIDENT.—A third edition of this work has just been pub. lished, revised by the author, with additional notes, and brought down to the present time. The interest created in .cur own country by this remarkable. publication has been extraordinary, and the excitement it has occasioned in the dominions of the Czar may be imagined from the following fact, narrated in a letter from St. Peter s b urgh, in the Athe accum Such books as the Revelations of Russia' are to be had only for their weight in gold, and I know au instance‘ where as much as 500 roubles (about 221,) were paid for the loan of a copy !" The startlin disclosures regarding the reign, acts, and character of the Emperor Nicholas, and the great amount of authentic and novel intelligence respecting his Government, dominions, and people, certainly render this work at once the most complete and interesting that has ever ap • peered on the subject, MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT WITH LOSS Or LIFE.—At Lowestoft, on Sunday last, James Hughes, a fisherman and owner of the boat by which he lost his life, was anxious to see his son, one of the crew of a north country brig, riding between Lowestoft and Yarmouth. The wind was off the land blowing strong. He called up Robert Jarvis, James Saunders, and John Saunders before daylight in the morning, to accompany him. They proceeded to the vessel, and when returning were caught by a sudden gust of wind about two o'clock, just WOW the Ness point, on the north part of the town and not a hundred yards from the wreck of the harir now lying on the beach. The boat filled, and in an instant all four were struggling in the water. Providentially, as Jarvis rose to the surtnce, he came in con tact with a fishing net bowl, about the size of a small pail, which he immediately grasped to his chest, and it kept 'him above the water, while Hughes clung to the right side of his jacket, and Saunders to his left leg, till life became extinct. The scene was witnessed by a number of men, who imme diately put off to their assistance, and whilst they were pulling Jarvis out of the water, llaghea darted up for the last time, but went down instantly. He has since been picked up, and also the boat. John Saunders was about 40 years of age, and has left a wife and six children; James Saunders, about 30, has left wife and two children ; and Hughes, about 50, has left a wife and two children.—Essex Herald RAIRL OF LONSDALE.—This Noble Lord has not made any announcement as to his policy with respect to Sir It Peel, but it Is stronglv rumoured th a t he will give him his hearty support. ph is r umour, which is chiefly prevalent in the vicinity of Penrith and Lowther, is greatly strengthened by the fact that no protection meetings have been summoned in the county.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—It is understood that several of the railway com panies which have deposits in the Bank in the name of the Accountant-General have determined not to invest them, in consequence of the effect on the prices of the funds by the few orders of the Court yet obtained. Of these, which amount to about 2,500,0001, not one-half h as yet b een l a id out, and a continued effort prevails on the part of- the brokers and jobbers to make them pay as high terms as pos sible. Their ruling bodies are naturally induced by this to pause; for they assume that when it becomes necessary for them to - sell, in order to commence their works, the same game will be played against theta. Should this forbear ance be generally exercised, and it seems, under all the cir cumstances, to be the most prudent course the railway companies can abet, it will place at the disposal of the Bank for commercial accommodation the very large funds represented by these deposite—a species of assistance which is highly necessary at the present moment. The late ad vances by the Bank, which were at twenty-one days, rind lat • terly for-as short a period as fourteen days, are most of them at maturity, and the same discretion must be exercised by the directors as that which would govern any private banker in the employment of deposits, the call for which may take place at any moment. This uncertainty places the money market also in a difficult position. So that the deposits are brought cut again into circulation, whether by the. Bank venturing to employ them, or by pUrchasee of Government securities for investment, it would come nearly to the same thing. That they should remain where they are would un doubtedly cause great inconvenience, for those parties who have lodged their securities with the Bank, and obtained ad vances upon them to be employed in the payment of railway deposits, must in a few days hind other notes, and oiler other securities in order to set free the first. The Lank by. agreeing to go on - with the loans, and accept the saute securities, can at once relieve this pressure; and when it is seen how small an amount of railway deposits has yet been invested, com pared with the total sum paid in, and that there is a grow ing disposition among the managers of the companies to abstain from investment altogether, there can be no doubt of the safety of using these funds for the benefit of the trading and banking interest. That the Bank Directors are coming to this conclusion may be inferred from the fact that in some loan transactions which have taken place this morning, the period of accom modation has been again extended to one month, and this may he taken, until ordered otherwise, as the established rule. There is great want of money accommodation all over the country, and the Bank can alone at present supply it. The total amount of railway deposits for the United Kingdom is now ascertained, and is as follows : England •.. £11,492,047 910 Ireland 933,700 0 • 0 Scotland •• • •• • ... 2,500,000 0 0 £14,925,747 9 10 THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF POISONING AT BROMLEY. The inquiry Into the circumstances connected with the death of a young woman named Harriet lionekton, who was found dead from the effects of prussic acid in the month of _November, 1843, and ever since which period the inquest has upon various occasions been ad journed, was resumed yesterday at the Swan Inn, Bromley, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, the Coroner. The occurrence itself excited a very great sensation, and the pe culiar circumstances that afterwards transpired connected with it tended to increase the interest that was felt in the matter by the neighbourhood. It may be necessary, in order that the case should be properly understood, to state a few of the leading facts connected with this mysterious affair, before entering into a detail of the pro ceedings upon the renewed inquiry. The deceased Harriet Ifonek ton was a member of a Dissenting congregation at Bromley, and she officiated as teacher in the Sunday-school at tached to it. At the time in question she was about to proceed to a situation of a similar kind at Arundel, and had taken leave of all her friends, and was apparently very much pleased at the prospect of her new appointment, when sud denly, on the 6th of November she was missed, and in the evening of the following day she was discovered dead in the water-closet attached to the chapel, and the result of a post inortent examination showed that the unhappy deceased was far advanceftie preguaecy, and that prussic acid was the immediate cause of death. There were several circumstances which showed the extreme Improbability, if not the actual impossibility, that the deceased destroyed herself, and the inquiry before the Coroner was adjourned upon several occa sions, in order to afford an opportunity to obtain the necessary evi dence, and at length the Coroner seemed inclined to let the matter altogether drop, but the jury felt so strongly the necessity of further inquiry, that they memorialised the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and the result was that on Wednesday last the jnry were assembled, and the Coroner then, it was understood, entered into some explanation relative to the matter, which had the effect of satisfying the jury that there was no probability of the ends of justice being frustrated, and eventually the inquiry was again adjourned until yesterday. It should be stated that of the jury impanelled, three could not be brought forward, one having died, another being abroad, and the third gone to reside in a distant part of the country ; twelve gentlemen, however, still remained, and that number yesterday assembled. The proceedings appeared to excite very great interest, and the room in which 11w inquest was held was cross ded the mo ment the door was opened. Before the conunencemcnt of the proceedings the Coroner bad a private communication with the jury, the result or nature of which was not allowed to transpire. The inquiry and examination of wit nesses afterwards occupied more than nine hours ; but, as a good deal of the evidence was merely a repetition of the statements of the witnesses on former occasions it will be unnecessary to go into it in detail. The mother of the deceased deposed that herdaughter was twenty-- three years old when she died. She said that her daughter 'mid ob tained a situation at Arundel, and appeared pleased that she had done so, and she never entertained the slightest suspicion that she would destroy herself. The witness also stated that she had no knowledge of her daughter being in the family way. Several other witnesses stated various faets which have already conic before the public. Mr. Flott, the surgeon, who was examined on the former occasion, repeated his testimony that the death of the deceased was clearly attributable to prussic acid, and to no other cause. The inquiry was again adjourned. GERMAN OPINIONS OF ENGLISH POLITICS.---The re recent Ministerial changes in England have afforded a suf ficient theme for conversation amongst all classes in Ham burgh : but English polities are too little known and too little understood here to make a llamburgher's opinion on the sub ject interesting. As regards the prospect of some decided change in the British corn-laws, the Hamburghers are not altogether so well pleased; and this appears to be the view taken on the subject In all the corn growing countries along the Baltic. The abrogation of the corn-laws is considered as all immense boon to the corn-growers and dealers in the United States of America and along the shores of the Black Sea, and the great fear hereabouts is, that the German corn grower will be swamped in Great Britain by the steady importation from distant places, where corn can be produced and brought to Europe en lower terms than those with which they can compete. Least of all will a free trade in con► in Great Britain be regarded with , umplaeency by the German manufacturer. Che a p bread has been hitherto almost the only advantage he has had over the British rival. This advantage appears likely now to be neutralised, but not that alone ; the British manu,.. factnrer will henceforth send to foreign parts, in return Pot the food she imports, a vast variety of articles which 'nave hitherto been supplied from the workshops of Germany.

At the conclusion the officers in charge of the reghnent were called out from the ranks, and, forming a line, were addressed by the Inspecting-General in very complimentary terms on their return home, rentarkin* ' that the regiment was more l i ke ene going out than one so recently returned froin India atter an absence of 22 years. At the departure of the Adjutant-General, the following regimental order was published :--" The commanding officer has much pleasure in communicating to the men, that the Depot*. Adjutant-General was pleased to express his high gratification with their soldier-like appearance on the parade this afternoon, and hopes that by their future conduct they will prove them selves entitled to that praise which the regiment has hitherto had the good fortune to receive, and which it so justly merited." The regiment is expected to march from this garrison in one division on Thursday next for Canterbury, there to join their depot, about 300 strong. At Canterbury, furloughs arc to be granted to the regi ment, to extend, according to the Adjutant-General's statement, to the 15th of April next.
