THE COURT of DIRECTORS of tht' EA S INDIA COMPANY DO HEREBY GIVE NOTICE, That a SetCIAL GENERAL COUlt I of the said CO \IPS i,Y will be In ld at their House in Leadenhall-street, on WEDNESDAY, the 27th instant, at 11 o'clock in the Forenoon, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors for their concurrence the following Resolution of the Court of I)irectors, viz. "That. as a testimonial of the gratitude with which the East India Company must ever remember that the glorious career of the Duke of Wellington commenced in India, and that the consolidation of the British power there was greatly promoted by his brilliant achievements, a Marble .Statue of that illustrious Commander be placed in the General Court Room." A copy of the said Resolution, dated this day, is open for perusal by the Proprietors at this lious,. JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. a Ksilet's future cletenti , sn, it o._ otue in the Turki,h dominion pchalik of Natolia, at the 1-ft.ie cf th. 6 Olympus, whose peak rises into the regions of Eerietual snow It is about 22 leagues from Constantinople, and the isE Armenianmpr. same distance from Kutehieh, famous as the piece of internement of another hero in misfortune—Louis provided b with t t o i h p s Kossuth. .Broussa was once the residence of the King of Bitbynia. In the middle ages, until the falling of Adrianople,. it was the capital of the Ottoman l t a o h w n o of wy the a as ramparts, now T n The thepopulation seat an d o f commandedoa first-class, a Pacha, a Greek metropolitan, and an A th i e l estimated .. by Balbi at 100,000, which is probably within 3 0,000 of the truth. It has extensive suburbs, fortress of great antiquity, adorned with Roman sculptures. The chief buildings are its mosques and caravanseries. The people derive their subsistence from commerce and manufactures, in which the arti zans are very expert.. The sati ns an d t apes t ry are the most esteemed of its fabrics, among which gauzes, taffetas, and cottons are to be mentioned. Th e t ra d e with the interior is facilitated by the caravans which pass through Broussa, in the line between Smyrna and other Asiatic towns; the trade by sea is carried on by the shallow port of Moudaina, on the Galf of Marmora. The clay called meerschaum is obtained from a mountain close by Broussa. The Debats of Tuesday, in an article on Abd-ele Kader, endeavours to take from the House of i Orleans the disgrace of having detained the ex-Emir n cap. tivity, in violation of a solemn e ngagement. The Mats says :—" Abd-el-Keder gave himself up to Gen. de Lamoriciere on Dec. 21, 18 4 7. It is matter of notoriety that the Emir had stipulated as conditionof his surrender that he should be sent with his family to Alexandria or St. Jean d'Acre. Gen. de La moriciere, then commandant of the province of Oran, accepted that proposition, which was ratified by the Duke d'Aumale, the Governor-General of Algeria. The Government of King Louis Philippe received oa December 31, 1847, the news of Abd-el-Kader's surrender, and of his arrival at Toulon. On Feb. 24, 1848, the council of ministers bad not as yet decided anything concerning Abd-el-Kader. On April 24th, 1848, the provisional government caused Abd-el- Kader to be transferred to the chateau of Pau, where he remained a year, and from that place he was transferred to the chateau d'Amboise, where he has remained up to the present time." This is true enough as far as it goes, but very false if put forward as an account of the whole matter, Let us endeavour to supply the omission. On the 17th of January, 1848, the government of Louis Philippe was questioned by the Marquis de Boissy, in the Chamber of Peers, during the debate on the address, as to its intention of ratifying the treaty entered into with Abd-el-Kader. M. Guizot, in his reply, instead of declaring frankly and clearly that most undoubtedly the Government would ratify me treaty to which the Duke d'Aumale had given nis approbation, declared that the Government was of opinion that it did not belong to a General-in-Chief, even were he one of the king's sons, to engage poli tically, without reservation or examination, the king's government, and that "in the present question the government preserved and intended to preserve the full liberty of examination and decision." If these words meant anything, they implied the possi bility of the non-ratification of the treaty. The Prince de la Moscowa, in the same sitting, disapprov ing' of the language thus used by the hon. Minister of Foreign Affairs, brought forward this dilemma : —"Now, of two things, one : either you consider Abd-el-Kader as a robber—as a pirate, or you look upon him as a hostile general, who has been conquered. In the first case, have him hanged lb the second, treat him according to the law of nations." General Fabvier, also, spoke strongly against ,the doctrine which M. Guizot had laid down, and in concluding his remarks, said, "There is now neither further ratification nor negotiation to make—Abd-el-Kader is in your hands, he cannot enter into any further ne• gotiation. Gentlemen, beware of touching that pre cious thing, the honour of France. Remember King John, Francis 1., and Henry IV., those first gentlemen of their kingdom I will only add one word more—if you touch the honour of France, adieu to victory !" M. Giizot then declared that " the Government had every confidence that it was possible for it' to coin liate respect for the engagement made with Abd-el- Kader with what was due to the safety of France. It was that task which the government had proposed to itself, and when it thought that it had accomplished it, the chamber would decide whether the conclusion come to was well or ill arrived at." The language of M. Guizot produced the most painful effect on the public mind, so that when the question came on in the Chamber of Deputies, in the debate on the address in that house, M. Guizot found it necessary to alter his tone. The matter was alluded to on Feb. 5, 1848, when the Marquis de Larochejaquelin, in his remarks, observed, " that many persons were struck with the difference which existed between the engagepents entered into by the Duke d'Aumale, and the conduct pursued by the government. "How does it happen," asked M. de Larochejaquelin, " that when an engagement of honour has been entered into by General Larnoriciere and the Duke d'Aumale, Gevernor-General of Algeria, the government now retains Abd-el-Kader in a fort and leaves us in uncertainty as to whether the word of France will be kept or not ?" M. Guizot replied that " his answer would be the same in that Chamber as in the other; He had in the Chamber of Peers reserved the right of the government to ratify or not to ratify the resolutions of its generals, and of the Duke d'Aumale like the rest; and that right being so reserved, the government considered it its duty to conciliate the engagement entered into by the Duke d'Aumale with the safety of the state. It was true that the Duke had promised Ahd-el-Kader that he should be taken to Alexandria or to St. Jean d'Acre ; such were the terms of the promise—nothing more, nothing less." The report of the sitting states that these senti ments were received by the chamber with murmurs. Guizot continued—St. Jean d'Acre was out of (he question, but, as Alexandria belonged to Egypt, the government would enter into arrangements with the Egyptian Government to allow the Emir to be sent there. The discession there dropped. Now, who does not see that if Louis Philippe's govern ment had at first frankly ratified the treaty entered into, Abd el-Kader would not have been detained for nearly five years in confinement? The whole fault, the world has always thought , lay with the hesitation of the government in ratifying the engagement of the Duke d'Aumale. Th is correction is due to history, w hich will decide how to apportion the disgrac e o f so long a captivity inflicted on a brave and patriotic EZ77 3 Wag' - , • r 1852 N°. 18,747.

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE AN D DR GLOVER. The circulation given to a statement tending to invalidate the epression of 'Dr. Glover's opinion in favour of Pale Ale, compels Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS to connect this remarkable dis tributien of a calunany with other insidious attacks up u on their firm which they have reason to know proceed from anunworthy and unneighbourly jealously. Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, In reply, deem it their best course to adopt the same line of conduct as in the case of the similar perversion and mutilation of Baron Liebig's meaning, so indignantly repudiated by that eminent man himself. They pub lish, therefore, without abridgement, the letter they received from Dr. Glover, (having his permission to do so) ; a letter the more valuable because it was not intended for publication, and is an unpre meditated evidence of that learned Chemist's just appreciation of Pale' Ale. SHEFFIELD SCHOOL OF DESIGN. firms in this town—l am not now alluding to minor esetblishments anti to individuals who would contri # u e—that out of 40 or 50 first-class establishments there are many which could contribute 100/., which would be a mere drop in the ccsnn of that enormous, capital which is turned over every year in this g;cat piece, bat which would enable you to carry on this school in a manner sufficient and creditable to you all. I hope that any prejudicee that may have existed among sonic of your manufacturers have been removed. I rejoice to know that on tho last occasion of the meeting of this school ono of those that confessed himselt, on that platform, as having been heretofore luke warm to the interests of the school, has since taken a lively interest in it, and, having been successful in the Exhibition in London, has acknowledged that to the stu dents of this school he is indnbted for the success he has attained. Those words ought to make a great impression on those who may be now, as he once was, lukewarm. Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to look on this as a plain matter of business, I say, then, subscribe your money for objects of this kind in the same way that you would pay money for the insurance of your goods. If you mean to insure the success and continuance of your trade, you must adopt those means by which you will be enabled to secure yourselves from the success of other countries, and even other towns in this country. And you must bear in mind, that, if you lag behind, they will speedily pass you. Look across the water. It is not long since, in this town, there were great apprehensions that your trade was about to be transplanted to America. Not your trade, but the produce of your trade dcee, indeed, flow into America. (Hear, hear.) The noble Duke then alluded to the increasing appreciation for artistic excel lence in America. If (he said) you go into any great establishment for the manufacture of silver goods in America, it is ten to one that you will find one of the most elegant pieces of workmanship was an English order., (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, you may applaud when you hear it read that the sum of 6001. yearly has been contributed by the Government to this school. Do not rely too much on this. Depend upon it, there is a feeling in the Legislatuee of this country, and throughout the country itself, that these contributions ought not to be extended towards these institutions generally. But while congratulating you upon this addition to the prizes, I cannot forbear expressing some regret that those scholarships which were lately inabduced have been in some degree unsuocessful—not, I believe, from any inherent fault its their establishment, but because they have not been adequate in amount, and because the time has not, perhaps, yet arrived at which their value can be thoroughly appreciated. I think that this system of scholarships will be most invaluable, and I will tell you why. One question that has been asked with regard to schools of design is this :—Why, you are educating some 200 or 300 pupils in drawing and in a knowledge of the fine arts ; what is to become of them hereafter ? Gentlemen, we propose here to .nstruct in art, but we do not profess to make artists. But the objection has something in it ; and I believe the establishment of scholarships is one of the most effectual means of rectifying teat defect, namely, that you are educating up to a certain point a number of oung men, and not enabling them much to go beyond that point. Why not ? Because almost the whole of those pupils are engaged for 10 hours a day in their usual avocations, and they go to school for one or two hours in the evening, harassed and worn out in their physical condition, and with their minds but little in that state which eeabies them to appreciate the beautiful or to embrace the lessons there given them ; and so it must be. But if your institution had scholarships which, hy a contribution of a sufficient amount to those who had proved their excellence and their superiority over their fellows in a fair competition, would enable them to devote more time to those studies, and to divest themselves of a portion of that labour which stands in the way of the attainment of excellence —in that case you would be elevating those few to become designers and artists. (Loud Cheers.) While in that way you are producing, for the promotion of high art and artistic excellence in the various fabrics of the country, your English Rafaelle or your Cellini, you will be at the same time training up a race of men, who Rill be enabled to make hereafter the fabrics of this country as distinguished as those who, working under the auspices of the great men to whom I have referred, have left to this day works, though greatly inferior to theirs, yet, I am afraid, superior to many which are fre quently produced as good works in the present day. For many years, and even up to the present day, to a certain extent, these schools have been condemned, and we have been told that they have been an entire failure. I think this has arisen from an ignorant impatience— from an idea that they are to start all at once into the full growth of manhood, and that the results are to be seen in the year following their institution. Anything connected with the arts and sciences must be a work of time as well as of labour; and whilst I certainly deny the failure of these schools, I say, on the other hand, that, considering the difficulties they have had to contend with, they have done a great deal, and in some instances even have done wonders. You compare them with similar establishments in France, but look at the schools of Lyons, Sevres, and various others in the territories of France, and consider how long those have been esta blished. That of Lyons has been established perhaps 100 years, and I believe is not by any means the oldest school of that kind in France. And can you expect from these infant establishments the same results that you get from those which have existed for so many years, and which have been supported by very large contributions of money from that source which in France does everything—the public funds ? I say, then, that there is no Royal road to art either in this country or any other. You cannot create either the taste or the power of artistic excellence in a day, or year, or 10 years. It is true that in ancient mythology we read that Minerva came forth from the brains of Jupiter an once in a full and complete panoply of arts as well as of arms ; but I think that all our ex perisnce in these prosaic times will convince us that, however great may be the genius of our people, we must not expect Minerva either in schools of design or in any other branch of manufacture or skill, or in any of the different walks of life around us. I had hinted just now the difficulties which these schools have had to In the first place, I believe that they had, opposition, but which is known as passive elowntiellu not d wist any' resistance, from the old designers in the different trades _ me , w ho were themselves incompetent to keep their position, and were afraid of the competition which these sc hools were about to raise up against them. Many have seen the error of their ways, and have adopted these schools as the means of improving themselves. That difficulty, therefore, is being removed. But the manufacturers of Sheffield will forgive me if I say that there has been another difficulty in the way, viz., the want of an appreciation of art, and of proper encourage ment on the part of the manufacturers. (Cheers.) I believe there has been some mistake in the course which hed been fsdlowed in this country with regard to schools of design. If we have not begun at the wrong end, we have begun at one end when we ought to have begun at two ; for I believe that you gentlemen manufacturers, as well as all others who stand on this platform, or are sitting among you below, all equally want educating in art. (Cheers.) I wish to deal with this subject, addressing a Sheffield audience, not in high-flown language, but as a matter of business ; and I say, that in this, as well as other trades, the laws of supply and demand equally apply ; and you have been creating a supply, and have not been fostering a de mand, because you have not been educating the manu lecturers to understand, to appreciate, and to employ the clever, able, and cultivated workmen. Igo further, and say that there has been a defect in the education of those classes which are the purchasers of those articles, and that those in the highest walks of life want that amount of education in art which shall enable them to appreciate that which is excellent, and to purchase that which is good and beautiful instead of that which is vicious and ugly. (Cheers.) I do not mean by this that they are all to become pupils in these different schools of design, although I do think that there are many who live within the circuit of these schools who would do well to enlist themselves and their children in them. Thero aro plenty of hours in the day for such classes ; but I say my noble friend on my right, and I and every body else—though, perhaps, some of us may be a little too old now, but at any rate our sons —ought to be sufficiently educated in art to appreciate that which the skilled workman shall produce. (Hear, hear.) Those who cannot attend schools of design ought to be edu cated in art at those places of instruction to which they resort. In all those elements of instruction which are given in our public schools, I should be glad to see some means of education in art which shall give that full appreciation of what is beautiful —some means of art-education which should accomplish the o ject in those schools ay, and ties themselves—which we are attempting the artisans in the schools the to give I th h e a v e heardsupport an of which we are this day essembledi.a ; am for r , a a is l 7 eiblegjeuctpiogniarbaitssefdortotbtheisp.urpDoosenooft b l e a l y ie i e b e th tb a e t m l objects o the assure you I have gravely hear though you may be astonished ad t s it tn b e bi g o e bjec d tio t n, yet I ex tending of art education, and appreciated by 11 that wherever you perceive the 'ver fact, invar - bl a is y aclasses, greatly there e extended, d ic e u t ill, in tibi that per ceivel utterlyth signs disbelieve f the this decline statement. ay lll°believe sempires. r t i h r e a t B t l l . at on N na a r o i n te w y h : :: thing more fallacious never was produced. from a little inaccuracy in chronology—a superficial will find ot th h a is t to e r m y p . empires have thriven and n ou p e e their greatest eminences when the arts insufficient reading c b o a n v t e ra s i t y o , od y, have been the highest—when all have appr ec i a t e d You will find that the arts have declined, and a vicious taste and style of meretricious ornament and faulty construction have been introduced, in a il int,tantn.s, in tile gradual decay and demorelizations of kingdoms. (Cheer,.) I need . not carry you b ac k to the catey As syrian and Egyptian empires; but if you study the rc. cur ds of those kingdoms you will fled the facts I state to be true ; and if you visit the remains of those king your own ey es th e truth of the d o ms you will see with assertion, and that everything that i s v i c i ous an d bad was erected in those tinter when the Governments were fading, and their kingdoms vanishing from the face of the earth. Tee s ass' , will apply with regard to Athens and Rome. Will any one tell me that th e works of Pericles led to the d own f a ll o f A t hens —I mean his artistic works ? Will any b o dy t e ll me that the g lo • rious beauties of the Parthenon, and all sbo other wag- nificent buildings which even now astonish tee eyes and excite the envy and adtd.ration of those who cannot imitate them—will eny one tell me that that was what led to the end of Athens? (Cheers.) Far from, it. But it was soon after that time that increased licen tiousness and the thirst for unjust war and undue ag grendizement led to the dowtfsll of Athens. And I believe bat for the attention which was devoted to the arts in that city that its destruction would have come before. (Cheers.) And if the fame of that empire, and the fame of an individual is of any value, let me compare the state at this moment of Athens and the pinnacle of repute on which she still stands, although denuded of those who founded that city—let me compare that state and that city with the more rigid and stern people if Sparta, whose town at this moment can scarcely be dis cerned—in fact, there are disputes as to the position in which it stood. (Cheers.) I have been led into these observations with a view of enforcing upon you the im portant results of art-education for all classes. It would be most valuable as enabling you. the manufacturers, and the workmen, to exercise such knowledge as you may possess, and such taste as you may possess, in the pro duction of good articles. It will enable you to discard that odious taste for fashion and novelty which is now injuring the trade of this and many other towns. (Hear, hear.) It is this vicious taste for novelty which leads manufacturers always to be runri g after am() h ng new—which makes them, instead of looking for what is beautiful and good, only seek that which is novel, and, discarding that which is really of good ano sound construction, look only to some tawdry,ornament or to some form, or adaptation of a form, which has hitherto been unappropriated to any purpose to which either nature or art, or anything, except the morbid brain of such men, ever intended such article to be ap plied: I hid intended, had time permitted, to read one or two passages from a book. Let me commend it to your attention. Ir is the - report. of-Mr. Redgrave, to whom not only schools of design, bat art in general, is deeply iedebted. While I deprecate novelty and a ser vile following of fashion, forgive me if I also deprecate what may justly be called the robbery of French and other designs. I will not enter upon any moral consid eration. I will not say whether this kind of robbery is more justifiable than any other, and whether those who would scorn to appropriate their neighbour's goods, think that they may fairly appropriate the result of their neighbour's brain, and by picking to pieces the works of French designers, and putting them into some new and fantastic form, produce what they call some new English designs, and perhaps register them accordingly. Let me impress upon you to discard this practice, and to employ -instead, those men to give designs for you which shall en able you to enter the race of competition, You will have already found that I am no flatterer. I hope that what I have said are truths; but, if they aro tru , hs,l am afraio they are somewhat unpalatable. But. I have not yet done. I rejoice in the great success of the iron and steel trade of this town, but regret the same cannot be said or the silver trade. It is in this brsnah of the trade tha 20th October, 1852. THE COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND REVENUE GIVE NOTIC e, That, in completion of the ar rangements under the Act for Consolidating the Boards of Excise, and Stamps, and Taxes, that branch of the business which is now ?.? ansacted at the Chief Office of Excise, in Old Broad-street (with D epartment), exception of the Metropolitan Stage a nd Hackney Carriages "ePartment), will be Transferred, on Monday, the 25th instant, to the Office of Inland Revenue at Somerset House. All Duties and Licences, however, will be received and issued, as heretofore, at the Office in Old Broad-street. The annual meeting of the friends of this institution and the distribution of prizes to the pupils took place cc Tuesday last at the Music-hall, under the presidency of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle. The large hall was well filled by a respectable assemblage of ladies and gen tlemen, including many of the nobility, clergy, and gen. try in the immediate vicinity. At a quarter-past 1 o'clock Mr. Wightman, the honorary secretary, commenced the proceedings .hy reading the report, which stated that— " Some the last annual report of the conned a complete and important change has taken place in the management of schottls of design. The provincial schools have hitherto been under the control and direction of thu masters and other officers of the London school, an arrangement for many reasons unsatisfactory. Under the system at eresent adopted, all the schools of design in the country, that of London included, are placed under a central au• thority established at Marlborough-house, entitled `The Department of Practical Art,' and forming a component part of the Board of Trade. Tho two gentlemen placed at the head of this department have recently paid an official visit to Sheffield, and expressed themselves in every respect satisfied with the management and efficiency of the sshool, and assured the council not only of the continuance of the present grant, but of further assistance, on condition, however, that some stops shotld speedily be taken by the town to erect a building suitable for the efficient carrying out of the extended system of art-edu cation contemplated by Government. That system em lat aces the universal diffasion of a knowledge of art• throughout the entire population. The mode in which this system is proposed to ha carried out is by the maul): liehment, under the auspices of the Petard of Trade, cd elementary drawing schools throughout the kingdom, each series of schools having for its centre a school of design. Placed as we are in the midst of a large and in creasing population, we may expect shortly to see nume rous schools springing up. It will thus be self-evident that an important and responsible position will or ought to be held by the Sheffield School of Design. The school continues to maintain the satisfactory position it has oc cupiod for some years. The debt has increased materi ally; the attendance of pupils continues steady; the studies are carried on in the same manner as heretofore, and will be rendered more complete by the addition of a class for colour, which it is intended to establish forth with. Hitherto, such a class has been considered unne cessary, and so long as the school was merely viewed as as adjunct to manufactures, where form alone prevails, perhaps it was. But in order to meet the extended views now entertained by the Government, the establishment of this class becomes absolutely necessary, Of the ar tistical progress of the school the public have abundant proofs in witnessing the number of medals distributed among the pupils, and which were awarded to them at the recent exhibition of their works at Marlborough Home. And the Council cannot omit the opportunity of expressing the satisfaction with which they regard the wisdom of Government in instituting an examination of the works sent from the various schools of ornamental art in the country—an examination entrusted to Sir C. E istlake, P.R.A., D. Maclise, RA., and R. Redgrave, Itt.A., gentlemen whose high position in art entitles their decision to be regarded with the utmost attention and respect. Bat, in the opinion of the Council, the most gratifying, and conclusive testimony to the value and effi ciency of the school is to be found in the recently pub lished report of the juries of the Great Exhibition—a tea. timony,be it renaembered,coming from a tribunal composed of the most distinguished men of all nations, selected for their special knowledge of the various subjects submitted to their consideration; and. than with the following extract from that report, Class - XX11.,p.499, the Council think they cannot more fitly close the present annual report:—' The jury think it deserving of notice, with respect to this branch of industry (that of iron and hardware). that, in all the communications which have been made to them by the persons in it, they find observations commenda tory of the School of Design id Sheffield, and expressive of the high sense t h ey entertain of the services it has rendered to ornamental art, and in particular to the ma nufactures of that place.' " The Duke of NEWCASTLE then said—Ladies and gen tlemen, before I proceed to call upon those gentlemen who have kindly undertaken to propose and second the reso lutions on this occasion, it becomes my duty to make a few observations, occupying the honourable position of your president for the day, to this crowded and most re spectable meeting. I confess thetll did somewhat hesitate 1 to accept the honour which was proposed to me by your worthy president and fellow townsman, Mr. Barker, to occupy this chair, which has been so much more worthily filled on previous occasions, not so mach on account of any unwillingness on my 'part to take my fair share in undertakings of this nature, but because I did feel, after this chair had been filled for some successive years by various members of the aristocracy of this neighbourhood, that on this occasion, so immediately following that Great Exhibition which I hope will give a fresh impetus, not only to schools of design, but to art and science gene -1 florally, you might have had occupying this chair one cf those aristocrats of art and science to whom the country is beholden in a great measure, for the success of that Great Exhibition. (Hear, hear.) My reason is that I felt, although I had taken a deep interest in the art and sci ence of this country, and generally throughoat Europe, neverthelesss I was not competent to instruct others ; and I could have wished that you might have beard from this chair such lessons as might have been impressed upon your memories, and such as might hare conduced to the future success and prosperity of this school. (Hear, hear.) But if I hesitated for a m oment, I felt that this at least was no concern of mine, and I was most glad to obey the call of Mr. Barker, and addition ally so, because notwithstanding the reason I have given, I al o felt that no man professing claims to staterattnehip—that no one occupying the position of a legislator of this country, whether elective or heredi. tary, could not but feel the liveliest interests in those arts and sciences which they are intended to develope. ( Applause,) I do not allude to those civilizing and humanizing effects on the people of this country which such institutions are so well calculated to promote. (Hear.) Ido not allude to them—not that I undervalue them—but because I mean, when I say it, that every legislator ought to do everything in his power to pro mote those objects. lam sure that this is common ground on which we :can all meet to promote and pro tect the industry of this country—to protect it in that way in which we ate all agreed upon, namely, to enable that industry Ol compete honourably and fairly in the great race of rivalry which is now set before you. (Hear, Hear.) I am convinced that the application of art in this country, in every department of trade, has now become a mater of vital necessity, and that if you mean to carry successfully to the ends of the earth that great trade which, to use an American phrase, you are now "driving," you must persevere in the applications of your minds and your intelligence, and, by the assistance of your sons, do something to wards promoting those arts by which alone successful 1 rivalry can be maintained. (Hear, Hear.) You have just heard the report of the council for the past year read to you, and I think on the whole I may, like my predecessors in this chair, offer you congratulationslon the retrospect which the report holds out to you. As regards the future, that I believe to be mainly in your own hands. We have heard in the report of the prizes awarded to the pupils brought up in this school. We have heard of the interest which that department of the Government which presides over these schools has especially mani ' ested in the school at Sheffield. Vie have heard, more over, of acts of individual liberality from individuals in this town towards the school, and I say that all these things are matters of congratulation. But let me say— for I wish not to come here to do otherwise than to speak my mind to you—l hope you will forgive me if I say that my feeling of satisfaction is not entirely unal loyed. Since I arrived in this town I have visited rooms in which this School of design is held, and I must fairly confess to you that I do not think that they come in any degree to what may fairly be expected in so great and flourishing a community as that which I am now addressing. I have visited the principal room, and that is bad enough. I have visited a room which is called the geometrical school, and certainly my first impression was—ls this a place in which to edam's the rising New tons of Sheffield ? I have visited the figure room, and there I find a room on which the sun is streaming at the present moment ; and I appeal to every lover of art to tell me what tho effect of such a light must be. I find a room in which every figure there placed has those false shadows fatal to the education of those who copy them, while it is utterly out of the power of your able and intelligent master to make any other arrange ment in that building which you have at present. I say, first and foremost, you want a better room. lam sorry that is not all ; but before I make any further sugges tions let me briefly point out to y ea th e fi nanc i a l accounts. You have received 6001. a-year from the Go vernment, and the whole contribution which this town hit b s e m fo ' u 'd n e ded i 3 , ee Inohoa/v.e noN o d w o , ub w t h , n uts I tell you that the whale of the Government g rant is expended iu the payment of masters (and t hat the y are not over p aid you will admit), and that the m e ans for all o ther pur poses of the school—for the purc ha sing of wo rks of art, for the increase of the library—are dependent on that small sam of 2001., I think you w ill say that y ou ere not giving a fair trial to• the ex periment o f thete schools, end are thwarting and crippling tan efficiency which tiny be expected from them. I say, then, first if all, you want a better room and a better library. Yea ought to have a fund out of which to devote 50/. a-ye: to the increase of the library an d for the pu rchase of works of art, accessible to all the students , whic h lore important element in th eir stud y ; and you want also, —and this I would impress not merely upon those who take an interest in th e s chool, bat the p ublic g enerally —a museum of art, acce ssible not onl y to the students, but the whole population —a museum of art that may be an appendage to the school, but nevertheless supported by the public ; and which, if exertions are used, may private individuals in the first instance.

" Sir,—lt was not my intention, in writing the hasty note to The Lancet,' to cast any reflections upon, or to implicate in auy way, respectable brewers of pale ale. " When I first saw the statement about the alleged use of strych nine in bittering ale, I looked upon the assertion as incredible, both on account of the price of the drug and the symptoms it would create ; but on experiment. I found that strychnine possesses such wonderful bitterness, that it might perhaos be used as AN ADJUVANT at least by UNPRINCIPLED PERSONS. In short, my object was simply to show that the thing was not altogether so .impossible as it ap peared at first sight to be. " My opinion is, that hops should not enjoy the exclusive privilege of bells; used for bittering beer ; but I do not pretend to discuss the point with practical men. " I know there are bitters which might be used beneficially, in a medical point of view. " With regard to analysing your beer, my time is taken up, sl far as analysing and chemistry are concerned, with two kinds of in quiries—lst, those which are purely scientific ; and 2d, those which are profitable. If you wish me, in the latter capacity, to analyse and report on your beer, I, of course, can have no objection.

I feel that I have occupied h much more of your time than I ought. But before I call upon my noble friend (Lord Milton) to propose the first resolution, let me beg of you not to leave this hall with out a due impression of the importance of this school, Let me ask you not to go home thinking no more about the school or about its results till the next meeting shall recall you to this hail, but lot me ask you, and espe cially those members of the fair sex who have assem bled here in such numbers to-day, and proved by their attendance the interest they take—let me call upon them at their fireside to enforce the merits of his school upon those who may be absent to day, whether hus bands, brothers, or fathers, and so to exercise that influ ence on behalf of this institution—if, indeed, they are persuaded of its in excellence—that when you next meet, its funds may be a different position, and that we may be enabled to boast that one of the great objects for which the liberality of the Government is given is in a fair course of being realized. In these arts, education is no longer one of the luxuries of life, but one of the greatest necessities for all classes. I do not wish to place this particular branch of education higher than it deserves, but it occupies a high position, apart from financial and commercial considerations. It is one im- TO ARTISTS, INVENTORS. &c., &c. The Directors of the OOP OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, 11 , PATRON—II. R. H.

I believe, if you will just examine this subject, you will find that those who, in whatever walk of lite, have de voted themselves to the studies of the doe arts, have been among not only the best fathers, the best brothers, and the best suns in the community, but also among the best and wisest members of the great family of man. The noble Duke resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The resolutions were then proposed and agreed to. Thanks were voted to the masters on the motion of Dr. F. BRANSON, seconded by Mr. RIDGE. Mr. YOUNG MITCHELL, head master of the school, in returning thanks, remarked upon the establishment of a School of Practical Art at Marlborough House, and ob served upon the great responsibility that was assumed by the managers of this department in exhibiting speci mens of various descriptions, not on ly o f the best description and most elegant and appropriate design, but also others to which they had attached the short and pithy criticism, "bad taste," " false principles," Sze.; and he believed they had been driven to do that by the obs tinacy of some of the manufacturers, who being practical men, would not allow themselves to be judged by any but men acquainted with the trade. Tho noble Chairman then called up Mr. W. H TURTON, who had obtained the prize of ten guineas for a design for an article of Sheffield manufacture. In handing him the purse of sovereigns, the noble duke shook the young man cordially by the hand. The Montgomery Prize was awarded to Mr. C. GREEN, and, at the request of the noble duke, the venerable poet presented it himself. In handing it to the successful candidate Mr. Montgomery said, " Let me give you a word of advice. Always do your best, and you will d better every time, and that is the way to succeed." The various prizes were then awarded by the chair. man, and the meeting separated.

The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. -" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate Price at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

The captains' good service pensions, relinquished on the promotion of Rear Admirals Walcot and Plumridge, have been conferred on two of the senior officers on the captains' list—namely, Captain Percy Grace (1852), and Captain Char es Howe Fremantle (1826), Captain Percy Grace is the 14th senior on the list, and is the only officer who has been for years seeking employment who has not obtained either appointment, pension, or distinction. That gallant and distinguished officer Captain Ryder Burton, K.H., it is true, is senior to Captain Grace, but his severe wounds has obliged him to refrain from seeking active service. Captain Grace has served afloat 16 years. He is third son of the late Richard Grace, Esq , M.P., of Boley - , Queen's County (the representive of a family of consul, rabie antiquity, seated in Ireland since the days of Strongbow), by Jane, daughter of the Hon. John Evans, of Bulgaden Hall, grandfather of John Evans Freke, sixth and present Lord Carbery. He is younger brother of Sir William Grace, Bart.. of Grace Castle, county Kilkenny ; and also of Sheffield Grace, Esq. , D.C.L., F.S.A., K.H., of Knole House, county Sussex, a gentlemen well known in the literary and antiquarian world for his pro . ound and accomplished writings. This officer entered the navy March 7, 1801, as first class volunteer on board the Ganges, 74, Captains Thomas Francis Fremantle and George M'Kinley, under the former of whom he fought, on the 2d of the following April, at the battle of Copenhagen. On the Home, West India, American, and Irish stations, Mr. Grace was appointed to the Greyhound, 32, Captain Charles Elphinstone and Edward Thomas Troubridge, in which frigate he cruised for some time off Cherburg, and then sailed for the East Indies. On his return to the Greyhound Mr. Grace assisted at the des truction of a Dutch armed brig under the Fort of Maned°, and also at the capture of a simi lar vessel off the island of Tidore ; and on the 28th of the same month, he proved himself an officer deserving of promotion by his conduct in a smart action with a Dutch squadron, which terminated in the surren der, to the Grey hound and Harrier sloop of the Pallas frigate, and two armed and richly laden Indiamen. The Greyhound, of which he had been nominated a master's mate in November, 1806, and an acting lieutenant in June 1807, being wrecked in October, 1808, off the coast of Luconia, Mr. Grace and his companions bad to per form a fatiguing march of 12 days over mountains and through rivers and woods, hitherto unpassed by Euro pean, in a state of utter destitution. They then became captives of the Spanish at Manilla, where they were de tained for a period of three months; but it was not until after a further and most cruel imprisonment of eight months at Batavia, whither they were taken by two French frigates, with whom they had unluckily fallen in while on their passage, en parole, from Manilla to Prince' of Wales' Island, that they were fully restored to liberty. Being then, in September, 1809, allowed to depart in the Piedmontaise frigate, Captain Charles Foote, Mr. Grace, whose promotion had been confirmed by the Ad miralty on the 28th of the preceding February, was shortly afterwards, on the 30th of the same month, planed in command' of the boats of that ship, and sent to reconnoitre a flotilla of 20 54 slay pirates, two of whom he succeeded in capturing, although net without a loss of 2 men killed, and2o,including himself severely, wounded. The effects of the injury he received he still feels, but no compensation Las till now bee n g ranted to him. On the 16th March, 1811, he joined the S emiramis, 36, Captain Charles Richardson, in command of one of the boats of which frigate he contributed to the capture of five French vessels anchored four miles up the Gironde. On the morning of the 25th August he similarly assisted in taking Le Pluvier corvette, of 16 guns and 136 men, under the batteries of Royan, and on that occasion his handsome conduct obtained him the official thanks of his captain. Mr. Grace, on the 12th Aagust, 1812, was appointed to the San Domingo, 74, bearing the flag on the coast of North America of Sir John Borlase Warren, under whom he witnessed the mo attack upon Crany Island, &c, and served until proted to the rank of commander, on the 15 June, 1814. His last appointment was, on the 17th January, 1822, to the Cyrene, 20, fitting for the African station, where he cruised, between the river Gambia and the Bights of Beans end Bianfra, until Dec. 14 , 1823, at which period' he sailed for England, where he arrived Feb. 7, 1824, after having enouuntered a hurricane so violent that it had been found necessary to throw 11 of the ship's guns overboard. Ho afterwards served in the Cyrene in the Mediterranean. In November, 1824, Captain Grace became senior officer in the Levant. He attained post rank Feb. 1, 1825, and on the 20th August in the same year was paid off. Captain Grace and those who had been wrecked with him in the Greyhound were taken from Manilla to Batavia by the French frigates Can noniere and Laurel. When commanding the Cyrene he was the first who commenced the destruction of barra coons or slave factories on the coast of Africa. Among the vessels which were captured and detaine by the Cyrene and her boats, were the Aurora, Dutch schooner s d chooner, of 144 tons, 4 guns, and 26 men; L'Hypolite, uns, and 19 m (under French colours), of 95 tons, 2 g en ; and the Caroline, French schooner, a 78 tons, 2 guns, and 20 men. Captain Charles Howe Fremantle is the son ofthe celebrated admiral who commanded the Inconstant in Hotham's fiction, the Seahorse at Teneriffe, and the Ganges and Neptune at Copenhagen and Trafalgar, and died a vice•admiral when commander-in -chief in the Medio erratical]. He is also brother of Sir Thomas Free mantle, Bart., Chairman of the Customs. He was born in 1800, entered the navy in 1812, and has served afloat about 22 years. He was a midshipman on board the Ramillies, 74, Captains Sir Thomas Masterman Hardy and Sir Charles Ogle; under the first of whom be served at the blockade of New London, assisted in occupying the islands in Passamaquo dd y Bay, witnessed the bom bardment of Stonington, and joined in the attack on New Orleans; was confirmed a lie utenant November 11, 1819, and continued , we believe, to serve, lat terly as signal officer to Sir Graham Moore, until advanced to the rank of commander, April 23, 1822. He was afterwards employed in the coast-guard service at Lymington, but resigned that appointment on being invested with the command, June 24, 1824, of the Jasper, 10, in which sloop he visited Mexico. Acquiring his present rank August 4,1826, Captain Fremantle was selected to command, Nov. 5, 1828, the Challenger. 28, first at the Cape of Good Hope, and then in the East Indies, whence he returned to England, and was paid off June 12, 1833. On May 20, 1843, he commissioned the Inconstant, 36, and commanded her for two years, when he was appointed to the Albion, 90, and paid off that ship about three years since. THE A.D.C. TO THE QUEEN.

I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills.

On Saturday afternoon another of those splendid 1,800 ton screw-ships, built by ;Mare and Co. for the General Screw Steam Mail Company, was launched from the extensive building premises at Orchard Wharf, Blackwell. The chairman of the company, Mr. Ellis ; the manag ing director, Mr. Fox, M.P. ; Captain Ford, Mr. P. Rolt, M.P. ; Sir W. S. Harris, and many naval officers, were present, and admired the quiet business-like we) in which the noble structure was sent into the water by Mr. Waterman, Mr. Mare's naval architect. She wa, named the " Ilydaspes," by a niece of the worthy chair man, as she glided off smoothly and gracefully into Bow Creek, amidst the cheers of the assembled spectators. She was afterwards taken in tow and immediate l y floated round to the East India Dock. This is the fifth of that class of vessels that Mr. Mare has sent into the water, and it is worthy of remark as reflecting the greatest credit on Britis h skill and enter prise, that this is the fifth ship that has been built within the last twelve months, and three of them arc now actually employed in conveying her Majesty's mail to India—namely, the Queen of the South, Indiana, and Calcutta—whilst another will be ready to embark the mails at Plymouth for the Cape and Calcutta on the 15th of next month. The public ate frequently surprised with •paragraphs detailing the mighty enterprise of Yankee ship-builders and the extensive orders of Ame rican steam Companie.; ; but if English writers, and naval men. too, would only look at home and within halt-a-dozen miles of London they would see greater reasons for public wonder and professional admiration. We do not think that the fact has a parallel in the his tory of shipbuilding in any country, that for one com pany, one shipbuilding firm, has in the course of twelve months launched 9,000 tons of ships, and has nearly built 3,600 tons more. This is a truth which is stranger than foreign exaggeration or fiction. The Hydaspes will have engines of 300-horse power, by James Watt and Co late, Bolton and Watt. We need scarcely add, that Mr. Mare r eceived e the ;t y congratulations of th e company f or l aunc hing so by d so fine, a noble-looking, seagoing c raft, n t the company was complimented on the greaat and s. that addition to their excellent fleet of screw-steamers. useful WILLIAM WORDSWORTII.—It has been proposed to place a memorial to the pool in tho church now re building at Cockermouth.
