COL pd Universal Emigration and Colonization, 2/. p MONEY and COLOIMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 4,000 American were taken for export and on speculstion. The market closed firmly et full prices. Trip sales comprised 8 000 A merican, 450 Perham and Meranham, at 6-7,- I. to 71 1 .; 200 Egs !stein, at 6kd. to Bi.; 1,000 Sure', at 3,1 d. to 4,1 d.; and 150 Sea Island, at is. 23-d. to ls. Bd. per lte—lu Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices. The report of the Manchester market, as furnished by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, for the past month, is as follows: Employment much in advance of the existing and gradually increasing productive power, continues still to characterise the staple productions of this district. At no time in our recollection were the operatives connected with power loom cotton manufacture, esee• cially, better and more beneficially employed, when the relative cheapness of the reeessaries of life is taken into account; neither, probably, were producers, being spinners and tnatufacturers, in a general way, found to be pursuing a more lucrative course. The dis trict, therefore, may be pronounced to be in a healthy and prosperous condition generally. As usual, of late, the market during the month has been of a changeable and fluctuating character, arising in a gfeat measure from what we have often previously ad verted to, viz., the sympathy constantly in exercise be tween the Liverpool Cotton Market and that of Man chester as regards the manufactured article. Materially, too, in the present month, the unfavourable accounts from Germany—resulting from the scarcity and dear ness of food, and the yet unhealthful and untemunerative condition of several of the Eastern markets, have contri buted to produce the position indicated. From the pre cechne, the fact of another month's very extensive trans actions having taken place is clearly obvious. Stocks, generally, are fully lighter than they were at the end of April, with prices generally firmer, end in some cases actually higher. No great amount of animation at the moment is perceptible; still the heavy contracts in ex istence create corresponding deliveries, and necessitate the completion of orders, which consequently produces much bustle and activity oven in the absence of new ope rations." Referring to the condition of the Money market during the past month, the editor Of the Banker's Magazine for June remarks_u The favourable state of things which prevailed during April has been con tinued during May, and, in point of fact, we have scarcely any alteration to make in the description given in our last review. The prices of the Public Securities have been firm and remarkably steady. Consols have, on one or two days, touched par, for Money, but have again receded to within /or per cent, of that figure. The rate of discount remains as stated last month, and the demand foe, and the supply of, capital in the same state. Perhaps, on the whole, there is a little more difficulty in finding temporary employment for capital." Sydney accounts, vie the United States, to Feb. 20, have been received. The proeuction of gold, it appears, is still on the in crease. The weekly msil from the mining districts, with is Government escort, had just arrived, and the gold received at the Treasury was as follows: —From Tusou, 1,852 ounces; from Ophir, 29 ditto; fr om Bathurst, 398 ditto. O t h er arrivals by the regular mail, during the same week, amounted to eight hundred and ninety -orse ounces. Tne Turon mines are exhausted, and some points are now entirely deserted, caused by the numerous discoveries recently made in other points. The Hamburgh mail of Friday last, quotes the rate of exchange on London at 13 64, being steady. Money was more abundant. The house of Emanuel and Son had failed fur about 120,0001, and their suspension was attributed to the stoppage of a London firm. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 29th inst., was very dull. Spanish, Russian, and Austrian Bonds were well supported. Portuguese and Mexican were in more demand. Venezuela were higher. At the meeting of shareholders in the British North American Bank this morning, a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum was declared. The English Stocks have been remarkably buoyant, and in New Three-and-a-Qaarter per Cents. large pur chases have been made at 100 k to A, The Royal Bank ,of Scotland have been buyers to the extent of '250,000/.

A great merit of this exhibition is that it does not deal wholly with " feats of broil and battle," but studies to delineate the localities where " the Duke" was chiefly em- ployed ; and this gives a geographical value to the subject which paintings wearing this peculiar military sentiment have never before possessed. Mr. Ford's libretto, and Mr. Stocqueler'si viva voce descriptions, are each excellent in their way ; and the " Cam paigns" of the illustrious warrior could not in any respect be better, more artistically, or more instruc• Lively illustrated. The POLYTkCIINIC is, SS usual, replete with amus ing and informing interest. The principal and most important lectures now being delivered are those on the new patent gas fire, which has excited so much attention in the scientific world. Besides Dr. Bach- hoffner, Mr. George Buckisnd, Mr. Pepper. and Mr. Crispe lecture upon divers subjects, all of them having some immediate public interest, and copiously illus trated. The miscellaneous matters consist of the diving-bell, mechanical models, chromatrope, dissolv ing views, and various other tbings too numerous to mention, but to inspect which consumes many hours. DIAMOND DUST. (Fro►m Eliza cook's Journal.) He who would die sooner or later than he ought is a coward. Politeness is the outward garment of good-will; but many are the nutshells in which, if you crack them, nothing like a kernel is to be found. True love and high morality are the same. Hasty people drink the nectar of existence scald ing hot. The most effectual way to secure happiness to our selves is to confer it upon others. As the heart is crushed and lacerated by a loss in the affections, SD it is rather the head that aches and suffers by the loss of money. It is not study alone that produces a writer,--it is intensity; in the mind, as in a chimney, to make the fire burn hot and quick you must narrow the draught. As we go on in life we find we cannot afford excite ment, and we learn to be parsimonious in our emotions. If you would not have affliction visit you twice, listen at once to that it teaches. FRENCH PLAYS.—ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Marchioness of Ely, the Hon. Murray, the Hon. Miss Venn, Lord Galway, Lord Charles Fitzroy, and Colonel Hugh Seymour, .honoured the French Plays with their presence last evening. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Baroness de Speth, Miss Dawson, Lord James Murray, and Colonel F. Seymour, also honoured the theatre with her presence. TIIE RAILWAYS AND STEAM-BOATS.—Yesterday, according to custom for the last three or four years, all the railways connected with the metropolis issued excursion tickets at half fares, thereby giving thousands of our artizans and their families an opportunity of enjoying themselves amidst country scenery. Monster trains left the London bridge terminus fur Brighton, Croydon, Dover, Tunbridge wells, and intermediate stations, numbers stopping at .1N or woodand Annerley. The South-Western Railway also con veyed thousands to Richmond, Windsor, and stations beyond, but the far greater portion stopped at the two former places. Kew Gardens were visited also by thousands. The Great Northern, Great Western, Eastern Counties, and Blackwall Railways had their share of the public patronage, and vast numbers sought the country scenery on those lines. The latter railway more especially carried passengers to the boats for Gravesend, which plied between the Blackwall station and the latter place. The steam-boats, both above and below bridge, were crowded throughout the day ; and th e Green wich oats were conveying thousands until a late hour of the day, notwithstanding the immense number of persons who travelled by the Greenwich Railway. The British Museum, the National Gallery, Marl borough House, the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and other public buildings, were visited by large numbers of persons yesterday. In addition to the visitors at Green wich and Wandsworth fairs, considerable numbers of persons visited the fair at Stepney. The latter fair does not resent so many attractions as at Easter; bie, among the shows, dancing-booths, royal " cuccusses," &c., many of the old Stepney favourites may be found. The usual large quan tities of whelks, fish, and bread, and cabbage pickled in very questionable vinegar, were provided fur Cle refreshment of the visitors. MR. PARSEY'S COMPRESSED AIR ENGINE.-A very successful experiment was made o n t h e E astern Counties Railway, under the auspice s o f th e pr i nc i pa l offi cials of the company, on Tuesday last; and trim the manner in which the engine worked, and the perfect control Mr. Parsey had over the po,,er, and the accuracy with which the air was regulated so as to work with a uniform pressure on the pistons, according to the power required, fully beam out the expectations of the ultimate result of this invention. DR. CULLEN.—Private letters received from Rome, dated the 20th, mention the final decision of the Holy See with reference to the appointment of Dr. Cullen for Dublin. According to these 1-tters three bulls had been issued by his Holiness; one severing the connexion of Dr. Cullen with the Archdiocese of Armagh; another appointing him " Arch bishop of Dublin ;" and the third appointing him " Apostolic Administrator of Armagh." MR. FEARGUS CYCONNOR.—WO received a com munication last night, stating that Feargus O'Connor had already returned from America to this country, and that the writer saw him last night in an hotel in Westminster. Though the writer of the letter is unknown to us, there is nothing improbable in the circumstance, in his present state of mind, in his having returned as hastily from America as he proceeded to it. "He commenced proceedings," says the writer, "which showed he was folly as bade as represented in the New York papers, as drinking other gntlemen's wine, helping himself to other people's dishes, reciting poetry, &c. He then ordered dinner, having partaken of which he settled down into a calm, and his conversation became both mild and rational. I was struck with sorrow at witnessing the evident derangement of his intellect , and shall be glad to hear of his friends getting hi m under t heir o wn charge, as with pro per care and treatmen t it i s po s s i b l e it may yet please God to restore his mental faculties."—Morning Advertiser. The accounts from the Continental Bourses speak of the little variation in prices. At Amsterdam the market for home securities remained unaltered. Austrian Old Five per Cents. and Spanish Cert ificates had, however, been dealt in to a considerable extent at an improvement. The Hambnrgh advices mention the failure of Emanuel es in stocks and and Son for 120,000 1 . They had sus tained heavy l shares, and the event was not unanticipated. Private letters from Amsterdam dated the 29th inst. mention that the Upper Chamber previous to its ad journment had confirmed the vote of the Second Chamber on the question of the arrangement between the Government and the Dutch Rhenish Railway. The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces during the past week are for the most part very favourable. At Manchester business has been checked by the necessity for caution consequent upon the renewed excitement in the Liverpool cotton market. but everything gives evidence of an extensive demand.

And truly its effect s were striking and impressive in the highest degree, when fringed , as were, by a large behind line of bright c l ou d, retiring i t, the setting sun threw i:s golden rays upon the si des and summit of the mount, Nat ure t h us assi sting Ar t, and together presenting to the eye an object as charming in i ts minutest details as it was grand and imposing its s in outline as a whole.

At dusk the grand pyrotechnic display and eruption of Mount Etna, to witness which a vast crowd collected. The volcano never did its duty better, and the excitement when it commenced operations was tremendous. Lava streams reddened its sides, terrific explosions of thunderous fireballs mimicked the earthquake reali ties of the original; the Cyclops worked away in right good earnest, forging their lightning-bolts (ill, inter L sese, 6.c.) ' and showersel the most splendid V• riegated fireworks crowned the terrors of the scene, The effect of the whole was superb. EXHIB WON S. The COLOSSEUM maintains its well•known attrac tions undiminished—the re-decorated Glyptotheca, the modelled ambiguities, the aviaries, the stalactite cavern, and two panoramas of London and Paris, the former shown by day, the latter by night, are magnificent works of their class. That of London, painted many years ago, from drawings made on the top of St. Paul's, has obtained a European repu tation, which even now, after so long a lapse of time, can hardly be said to have declined. The CYCLORAMA, in Albany. street, is rendered most attractive by its exhibition of a series of portraitures of the Crystal Palace, painted by Mr. M'Neven, the colossal size of which, coupled with the laborious fidelity of the details, affords one of the most interest ing records of the " world's fair" that has yet been contrived. The seven pictures of which this exhibi tion consists embrace all the best points of interest, and to those who were not fortunate enough to see the original will furnish an idea of its plan and aspect which could scarcely be got by any other means. At MADAME THiSAUD'S well-known Exhibition we have a new group —namely, the Queens of Henry the Eighth—" the most touching subject," says Mr. Tussaud, "in English history." These unfortunate ladies are associated with Kossuth, a Bloomer or two, and the Russian Giant, Lousbkin. The variety of the Exhibition, therefore, is indisputable ; and a lounge through the saloons in which the figures are placed, as antagonistic in mind, rank, and vocation, as they are in visage and costume, may fairly be re commended to those who have an idle day before them. ADELPHI THEATRE. The entertainments consisted of Sea and Land. MephiBtophiles, and Did you ever Send your Wife to Candmrwell, three good specimens of melodrama, ex travaganza, and farce. Ail the talent.of the estabdsh ment was put into requisition. Mr. Mark Leman's melodrama is one of the most effective pieces of its cless which the Adelphi has produced. The acting of Keeley as the wild, half-brutalised girl, is one of those picturesque portrayals which the highest kind of histrionic genius can alone evolve. As a piece of personation it is unequalled, and it should not be overlcoked by those who know how to appre ciate transcripts so life-like and so suggestive. The acccmplished Miss Woolgar appeared in the ilephis tophiles—a piece well calculated to exhibit her versa tility ; and Wright came out in his fullest force in the farce. The house was crowded. PRINCESS'S THEA FRE. A very crowded audience attended last evening the performance of this favourite and fashionable house. Although the Corsican Brothers has now been before the public for many weeks it seems to have lost none of its interest, indeed it is one of the few dramas of the present day which will bear wit nessing more than once. The characters, yesterday evening, were sustained with the usual ability and eff:ct of Messrs. Kean and Wigan. The various points of the piece told with undiminished fresh ness upon the audience, and its striking situa tions and effective and beautiful scenes received their usual meed of applause. The comedy entitled A Lucky Friday, by Mr. A. Wigan, afforded full scope to the inimitable acting of its author, who, in the character of a superstitious old gentleman, dis played by turns the querulous impatience and genuine benevolence of the old emi:gre, with all that ver satility of talent, which (in genteel comedy) places him at the heed of his profession. The fairy extrava ganza of Wittikind and his Seven Brothers, which bas had a most successful run since Easter, concluded the entertainment. The most beautif u l stage p i cture we have ever seen is that presented in this fairy piece by Miss Carlotta Leclercq, when, as the Princess Melusine, she is seen upborne by the seven swans, in their escape to Marchenland. The fair and graceful artiste, in her aerial flight, presents a very happy subject for the painter's skill. On Wednesday Mr. Wigan takes his b ene fit, we w i sh i t were not a " farewell " one. A new comedy is underlined for Monday next, the 7th. LYCEUM THEATRE. The indisposition of Madame Vestris occasioned last night an alteration in the performances at this theatre. Instead of the Chain of Events, the Game of Speculation was unexpectedly restored to the bills; and in which Mr. Charles Mathews played his popu lar part of Mr. Affable Hawk with all his wonted ease and enjoyment. Many were the nights that it was played prior to the production of the Easter sp-ct , tele; and judging by the spirit with which it went off last night, it would seem that it is now be. ginning a fresh career of popularity. The cast was nearly the same as formerly —Mr. Frank Matthews, Mr. Robnt Roxby, M r. S uter, Mr. Charles Horn, and Miss Oliver sustaining their original parts; the only alteration being as regards Mr. Morris, who succeeds poor little Oxberry as the I , ,cquey Thomas The come=dy was preceded by Forty and Fifty, and the entertainments terminated with The Practical ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The engagement of Madlle. Rose Cherie came to a termination last night. The performances in which she took her leave were Yelva, and Brutus ladle Cesar. Her pantomime in the former piece was athnirahle ; and not less so her drawing room grace in the latter. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were present. Ou Friday night Mr. Mitchell, promises us Levassor, who, in his peculiar line, is inimitable. The German Plays begin on Wed nesday ; and ou Friday morning Aladlle. Emilie Var dermeersch gives a séance in the saloon of the theatre, in which her learned birds will exhibit their various pretty docilities. The Tyrolean Minstrels are also to be met with occasionally at the St. James's Theatre—minstrels who enjoy the especial patronage of the Court and the beau monde. Mr. Mitchell is truly an indefatigable as well as tasteful caterer to the public enjoyment. Ditto Deferred Dividends on the above payable in London. Austrian, 5 per Cent .....

There was no novelty produced here last night, but on Wednesday a very rare piece of fun is expected. The bill, therefore, for Whit-Monday was nearly si milar to what it has been every night since Easter, the amusing comedy, Mind Your Own Business, followed by the extravaganza 0 Gemini, and closing with that most diverting of farces Box and Cox. The performances of last night obviously c4ll for no re mark, The pieces in ques.ion have been repeated over and over again, and still produce merriment. No w that the manager has dismissed his operatic corps, be is at liberty to pay better attention to his acting pieces, v.hich, after all, it is the more legitimate vocation of thelflaymarket to cultivate. SADLER'S WELLS. The vocalists of Drury-lane have migrated to Sldler's Wells Theatre, where, under the rule of Miss P. Horton, they propose to play a round of popular operas. The experiment began last night with the English version of the Sonnambula, which was cre ditably ,embodied by Miss Louisa Pyne, Mr. W. Harrison, and Mr. Whitworth—a company of artists of very superior qualifications, and who we regret to see thus driven into a secluded theatre. The singing - last ni g ht, we nee d hardly observe, was exceedingly good. Mi ss L ou i sa P yne , w hose facility ripens with her exp er i enc, was in her best voice, and warbled the melodic st ra i ns o f A m i ne w ith a skill and beauty to which we have had but few parallels on the English stage. She was rapturously encored in the last aria. Mr. H. Whitworth made his first appearance at this theatre in th e c h aracter of C ount R o d u lph, which he interpreted with vigour and consistency, while hi s singing d rew down repeated app l ause . Mr. W. Harri son e ff ectively took the par t of Elvino, and Mi s s Julia Bleaden that of Lisa. The chorus and orch es t ra are not large, an d are th ere f o re incapabl e o f g i v i ng a perfectly satisfactory renderi n g of operati c music, but their numbers are suited to t h e size and general appointments of the theatre , and their performances, so far as they go, are commend. able. La Sonnambula was succeeded by the little burietta of Midas, in which Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as Apollo, sang some comic airs with great effect. Oa the whol e , we h eartily wish success to th i s unassum ing but spirited and praiseworthy effort of Miss Horton, and we trust that the list of popular pieces announced by the management will continue to draw as crowded houses as that which assembled last even ing on the occasion of the first essay at English opera. ROY. AL MARIONETTE THEATRE. Mr. Albany Brown is driving a flourishing business at this most elegant little place of recreation. The inimitable puppets had a far share of holiday patronage yesterday. There was novelty in the shape of a new drama of the burlesque order, entitled Punch a la Ro maine; or, a Classical Education. There is an in duc!ion smartly written, in which the ghost of Dr. Johnson takes part in a punning conversation with Punch and other personages, and this is followed by a travestie pleasantly ludicrous of the story of Vir ginius and bis daughter. The drama was well acted by the lignean artistes, and well received by the audience. The ebony performers were bailed with rapture on their re-appearance as their clever ne6s deserves, and the Italian pantomime, Il Nano del TVagio, is quite a marvel of puppet agility and saltatorial grace. The exceedingly clever artist who paints the scenery and contrives the figures, Signor Brigaldi, deserves that his name should be specially mentioned ; for both as artist and machinist his talent is remarkable. The performances concluded with the grand spectacle of Aladdin. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The spectacle of St. George and the Dragon; or, the Seven Champions of Christendom, was played with becoming pomp and splendour in this ever popular theatre. The part of St. George was allotted to Mr. Alfred Cooke, who acquitted himself very well, espe cially in his repented encounters with the dragon. Saints Andrew, Patrick, David, Denis, Anthony, and James, bad little to do beyond forming a part in one and rtw o of the tableaux.

BATTY'S HIPPODROME. This magnificent arena for equestrian feats was re opened yesterday, and bids fair to becom e one of the most popular, as it is certainly one of the most inte resting, places of resort and recreatio n in the metro polis during the summer months. The spectacle last night throughout was of the most E xtraordinary kind. A series of the most startling scenes in horsemanship succeeding each otber with great rapidity, kept the attention of the spectators on the stretch for three hours. Opening with a balloon ascent, a grand course of w hi c h t we nty l a di es and gentlemen, pageant f o ll owe d ent itl e d Th e Carowal, in the mounted on high-mettled steeds, went through various exercises with the sword, javelin, and pistol. Then came the amazing gymaastic feats of the Bedouin Brothers, which almost baffles description. These were succeeded by, amongst others, a grand Steeple Chase by four English jockeys; th e "S truggle for Liberty by the Rival Greeks," by M. Pulaski, M. PartenzLand Mr.Stickney, each standing and driving at full speed four homes; an ostrich race; a pleasing pas de deux on two tight ropes side by side, by the Madiles. Eisler ; an exciting scene, in w hi ch " three Grecia n maids" appear driving each a car drawn by two horses; the agile entertainment of the Nicolo family, as Oberon and the Fairies ; the exhibition of Herr Whale, as " the devil rider" on a fleet steed ; a comic race by monkeys mounted on ponies; a " contest for the cup " by four ladies ; and a repre sentation of a race by Barbary coursers at the Roman Carnival. The feats of the Nicolo family, and also those of M. Franconi on his beautiful and highly trained dapple grey h orse Johnstini, deserve especial mention. M.

But More esp ec i ally in this the case on Whit -Mondays , when the working classe s are lib erate d f or a few brief hours from their toil, and il , ck to the ground in numbers to be calcu lated by thousands, and for one day are almost their exclusive occupants. Yesterday was exactly an occa sion of this sort. The gardens were crowded with holiday folk, who were by no means slow in aviling themselves of the various means of relaxation and enjoyment which the p ayment of the univenal shilling places at their command. The choice and extensive zuological c,llection was examined with unwearying interest. Dauson's stu pendous Picture, representing a daylight view of try) suggests to his master that it is but a snare to sell him to the Devil, and seizing the wand, he touches the rock, which closes,—a capital scream is heard, and thus the fiend is got rid of, and the " business" of the story begins in good earnest. The tableau which follows, descibed as the Brazen Pillar on the Seven Roads, with the departure of St. George f or E gypt, and " a grand old English cavalcade," is a very admirably-managed affair, showing "h ow the noble knight St. George and his six champio ns did part at the Brazen Pillar, and each tike a separate road in quest of adventures." The first encou n t er w i th the dragon in " the Dragon's Haunt" wa s good, an d t h e encoun t er was we ll managed. Th e three days' fight was portrayed with a dari ng su ffi cient to make many persons highly nervous. Tne triumphal entree of St. George and the other champions into the city and temple of Memphis, preparatory to St. George's nuptial., with the triumphal chariots, bani,ers, emblems, Egyp:ina and Christian civalry, and pdanquins of grandeur," formed a tableau veorhy of the days of Ducrow ; and can we offer a hi gher reed of praise ? Mr. Batty, in this case, regarding the affair, of course as a spec tacle, has been very successful ; and the effort he has made one which we ll deserves pu bli c patronage. The scenes in the c i rc l e followed, and the perform ances concluded with the farce of The Mayor of Garrett. The gallery was crowded to suffocaciou at one rush ; th e pit was well filled and crowded at hal' price, and th e humoured. gods were no i sy, b ut very goo The opera season, und e r th e dir e ction of Miss SUR RE V THEATRE. Romer, was i naugurated last evening in a most aus picious m anner . At the rising of the curtain there was not a va can t seat in the house, and many were dis._:ppointed o f a d mittance. The opening opera was Cinderella, Mr. Lacy's adaptation of La Cenerentola, supported by Miss R osner, the Misses Coveney, Mrs. Weiss, Traver s , Borrani 13. Corri, and Kuchler; the orchestra under th e masterly direction of Her Meyer Lutz. The warm es t greeting was bestowed on each fa vourite artist, and there was no lack of deserved ap plause throughout. Mr. Travers in the scene" Sweet Remembrance," and Miss Romer in the, celebrated finale, were enthusiastically encored. Borrani sang and acted as Dandini with admirable spirit, and the make up of H. Corri as the Baron Pompolino was capital. H. Widdicombe personated the Baron's servant with immense comicality. After the opera the National Anthem was sung by the strength of the company, which, we are happy to observe, embraces MIS) Pool,and the l ast verse was so splendidly given by Miss R omer , as to elicit the most ear-split ting encore th a t ever d i stracted us even at the Surrey, where manifestations of approval are wont to be de. livered with stunning emphasis.

A special meeting of the members of the Benevo lent branch of this excellent institution, which was established in London in 1840, was held on Thurs day, the 27th of May, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of electing additional annuitants, in accord ance with a resolution passed at the annual meeting in January last. Mr. R. H. Jones, the chairman of the board of management, occupied the chair. Mr. P. H. BYRNE (the Secretary) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, and the resolu tion, which bad led to the present meeting, The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, I very much regret the absence of our excellent treasurer, Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., who, on occasions like the present, has generally taken the chair, and has al ways evinced the warmest interest in carrying out objects similar to those which we are assembled to day to perform — The managers in the dischar ge o f their d (H uties s have frtquent opportunities of witnessing the great necessity of such an institution as thi s, being frequently called upon to relieve distressed clerks, their widows and children, who, but for the assistance they are enabled to afford, would be desolate and com fortless. Indeed, I scercely know, upon these occa sions, which party derives the greatest satisfaction (Chthe dispenser or the recipient of these benefits. eers.) We are assembled on the present occasion to carry out a resolution passed at the general meet ing, held on the 19th of January last. The increa sen which has taken plac e i n our rands fro:ittihoenariepaent alteration of the rules, j us tifi e d the managers in pro posing to that m ee ti ng t h e e l ect i on of a nuitante. The alteration of the rules to which I refer, has produced an annual subscription of ss. from clerks, assurers, who were d es i rous of partaking of the advantages of the Benevolent fund, a sum appa rently insignificant, but producing in the aggregate a considerable sum. I am desirous of taking this opportunity of stating what cannot fail to be grati fying to all present, that during the present year we have received donations and subscriptions from some of the most eminent banking-houses. The, list I am about to read I look upon as proving the observations which have often been made by our respected trea surer, that if clerks will evince a disposition to help themselves, they will be cordially supported by prin cipals. The following is the list to which I have re ferred : Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Ce. „ Beimett, Hoare, and Co. ... 71 Williams, Deacon, and Co. „ Roberts, Curtis, and C 0.... „ Overend, Gurney, and C 0.... „ Smyth, Payne, and Co. ... ~ Glyn, Halifax, and Co. ... „ Jones, Loyd, and Co. ... £ s. —. 10 10 10 10 ... 10 10 ... 10 10 .. 10 10 ... 10 10 .. 10 10 —. 10 10 £B4 0 —(Cheers.) These great firms have all become an nual subscribers. The following is a list of dona tions : Messrs. Heywood, Kennard, and Co. Bosanquet, and Co. ,„ „ Willis, Percival, and Co. ... ft Dixon, Brooks, and Co. ... „ Paget, Bainbridge, and Co. „ Brown, Janson, and Co. ... Charles Geach, Esq., M.P.... ... £ S. ~ 10 10 ". 10,10 ". 10 10 -. 10 10 ... 10 10 .... 5 5 10 10 5 —(Cheers.) Thou g h th ese l atter amounts are £68 given in the form of "donations," it has been intimated by some, that if the giving of them tends to stimulate clerks thews. lees to contribute to the funds of the association, they might be continued annually. This is very satisfactory, and must be gratifying to every well-wisher of the association. I may be permitted to express a hope that clerks who have not yet .;oined the institution, will find in this da3's proceedings an inducement to do so, and that principals will con tinue to increase our list of donors so that the managers may never want the means of relieving every deserving case which comes before their, whether the application be for a loan, a gratuity, or an annuity. I will now read the cases of the six widows about to be proposed for election. I should state, that annuities were advertised for 8 widows of clerks, but 6 only have applied. It is a most pleasing circumstance, that on the present occasion no appli cant will be disappointed—a circumstance we have bad to regret at former elections. The managers adhere to their former practi ce o f mentioning the initials of the candidates, K. L. 8., aged 21. Her late husband was an as surer fur six years, clerk to iron merchants ; died after a short illness, leaving her with one child, and another born since his decease dependent upon her. No means of support. E. H., age 63. Her late husband was a sub scriber to the Benevolent Fand for ten years, clerk to an attorney, died after a lingering illness. No children.

Her late husband was an as surer for seven years, clerk to silk manufacturers. Died suddenly, leaving her with eight children en tirely unprovided for. No means of support. I may as well add, that every case has been care fully inquired into by the board; they are all eligible and most deserving of the aid they seek, we, there fore, offer them to you on the present occasion for election. The Chairman then read the following re solution, which was carried unanimously, and with much applause :—" That in pursuance of a resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the mem bers of the Benevolent department of this associa tion, held at the London Tavern, on the 19th Jan., 1852, authorising the election of two clerks, for an nuities of 25/. each, and five widows of clerks for annuities of 15/. each, or if one clerk only applies, then one clerk for an annuity of 25/., and six widows of clerks for annuities of 251. each.

But have a care, ye young and fair,—. Be sure ye pledge with truth; Ba certain that your love will wear Beyond the days of youth. For, if ye give not heart f or h ear t, As well as hand for band, You'll find you've played the " unwise" part, And " built upon the sand." 'Tis well to save, 'tie well to have A goodly store of gold, And hold enough of shining stuff; For charity is cold. But place not all your hope and trust In what the deep mine brings; We cannot live on yellow dust Unmixed with purer thirge. And be who piles up wealth alone, Will often have to stand Beside his coffer-chest, and own 'Ls built upon the band." 'Tie good to speak in kindly guise, And soothe where'er we cau; Fair speech should bind the human mind, And love link man to man. Bat stay not at the gentle words, Let deeds with language dwell: the one who pities starving birds Should scatter crumbs as well. The mercy that is warm and true Must lend a helping hand, For those who talk, yet fail to do, Bat " build upon the sand." ELIZA COOL SPORTING NOTES. No. CCXXXVII.

She will take out, it is with the lispectors of the Admiralty, understood, about 250,00,0/. in sovereigns. Her trial trip. Saturday, was performed on and her speed was stated to be greater than that of any screw -boat yet inspected by them. Although bhe waa not in trim, but was fully one foot by the head, in conse quence of being laden with cargo, and 500 tons of coal, she attained at one time, it is said, a speed of 10.74 miles per hpur, with slAck tide p,gtd rid Terse Artid resent (Hear, hear.) A n d now, lih these cases, I may s t a t e that we ving— dral have at p r ""' " five clerks and 23 widows in the receipt of permanent annuities—(Cheers)—of course, I include the th ree widows to whom we have granted gratuities, beca use they virtually stand in the position of annuitants. I hope you all join with us in feelings of pleasurable satisfaction, that we have been enabled to dispense such blessings as these.—(Hear, hear.) These facts cannot be disputed, and the good these annuities con.. fer upon the individuals is, I assure you, most wel , come, and it is gratifying to know that they are sin cerely grateful.—(Hear.) Much more indeed might (be done if greater means were placed at our corn mand, much more, indeed, remains to be done, to which clerks do not give a thought. We daily see the great advantage of such an institution, in conse quence of being constantly brought into communica tion with those who are applicants for aid. I have the pride and pleasure to intimate that we are now in a position to say, that every appeal for relief has been met, every loan applied for has been granted, and erery petition for an annuity acceeded to.— (Load cheers.) Of course I with to be un derstood, that in stating this I allude only to proper 2 pplication9, and such as could be legitimately granted. If this is not a satisfactory state of things I do not know what is !—(Hear, hear.) Other cases will present themselves as we advance; but I trust we shall be prepared for them by increased funds, and to such an extent that we may render certain what, at present, is contingent upon our means.—(Hear.) I think the statement of these things oug h t to greatly encourage clerks to come forward and give the asso ciation their support. See the good we have done, and are actively engaged in doing ! I should say, that 11,300/., belonging to the Benevolent department is invested in the funds, and that five clerks receive 251. each a-year, and 23 widows 151, involving an expen diture of 4701. a-year.—(Hear.) Before I sit down, I wish to allude for a moment to the business which we have transacted during this year. In the Assurance period of last department, we have issued 193 policies for 35,0001., a I hope the recor d loans amo - untin g to 8 671. , six gratuities amounting to ve ( n ll 2 ea l year. — (Hear.) a le w h a a n y c e es g to ra o n rp te h d an. 4s l. of these matters meets the cordial I shall feel happy to hea approbation of every one (Cheers ) h present.—(Cheers.)

He assured the members that he should feel it his duty irectors and the to. promote . the welfare of the Association by any means in his power. (Hear.) Mr. LLOYD said, he had nothing to remark up the business of the day, except to congratulate upon directors, and the members upon its nature and re sult. If he had ever entertained any doubts as t o the success of the Institution, the proceedings of that day were amply su ffi cient to destroy any such int • a a e l sesisaoteia. t i t pression.—(Hear.) He wished to offer two suggestions for the consideration of the Managers. The first was, looking at the extent of emigration now going on, particularly among clerks, that over hardened class of society, would it be possible, con.. sistently with the rules of the Association, in any way to encourage, on the plan proposed by Mrs. Chis holm, the emigration of clerks? Could they grant loans to clerks who wished to emigrate, on the se curity of their relations at home, or the principle adapted by Mrs. Chieholm's society ? Favourable opportunities of obtaining employment in our colt). vies were likely to present themselves to young men who could not obtain suitable occupations as clerks at home, and, in his opinion, the most eligible thing that an active young man could do was to emigrate to Australia if he could not obtain employment at home. Secondly, would it be possible for the society to sub scribe to the " Hospital for Diseases of. the Chest," and one or two other hospitals, so as to be in a posi tion to give free admissions to clerks afflicted with pulmonsry or other complaints ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that those suggestions should have the careful consideration of the board. A cordial vote of thanks having been awarded to the chairman and directors, on the motion of Mr. LLOYD, for which the Chairman returned thanks the interesting proceedings of the day terminated.
