When they had been unprovided with funds, that gentleman had liberally permitted them to draw upon him for whatever amount they required, and had trusted to the benevolence of the public for repayment.—( Renewed cheering. ) " The Chairman, PASCOE GRENFIILL, Esq." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. ,He should be at all times most happy to contribute any exertions in his power towards the prosperity of the Institution, and felt that in so doing he was merely discharging his duty. He had for many years witnessed the benefits which the Institution had afforded, and so long as he was able, he would give it his cordial and decided support.—( Hear. ) While on his legs, he would take the liberty of proposing a toast. Of all the benefactors to the Institution, none had come forward more liberally and manfully than the Corporation of the City of London.— (Cheers.) From what he knew of them, collectively and individually, he would say that a more independent or respec table body of men did not exist.--( Applause.) " The Corporation of the City of London." Mr. GALLOWAY, as a Member of the Corporation, returned thanks. He regretted that the Lord Mayor should have been more seasonably employed in dining upon white bait in high season, than in presiding in the cause of charity.—( Hisses, followed by loud cheering.) If he had said any thing out of place, he would submit to the decision of the Chairman. From what he knew of the Corporation of the City of Lon don, he was satisfied that they would be always ready to come forward and contribute to the support of the excellent insti tution which had brought them together. " The Medical Officers of the Institution." Doctors Uwins and Ryan severally returned thanks. " The Stewards." The CHAIRMAN retired about eleven o'clock, and Mr. Gal loway having taken it, the festivities of the evening were pro tracted to a late hour. In the course of the evening the Secretary read the list of subscriptions and donations received, which amounted to nearly 6001. Cramer If so, We - • cra , v. only mi jotini , 4„ express _ottr et regr re that his lents should be so . hiin in ore of I-Iydn's, Mozart's,- OP B e ptiPreites. With equal propriety might Mr. Knyvert appear in an:Organ Concerto of old Stanley, or a trumpet voluntary of Green. Coleridge once dined with a man who': passed . himself off to the philosopher as a very wise fellow,• by keeping his lips sealed. At length, when some apple dumplings were placed on the table, he unfortunately dispelled the poet's illusion, by exclaiming " Them's the jockies for me." We arc in clined to suppose, notwithstanding the introduction: of Mo zart's compositions, the Concertos of Martini and• •Avison are the apple-dumplings of the feast with the Directors - but we beg leave to add; if " them's the jockies" of their choice, we are disposed and happy to think them singular and truly original in their taste and appreciation of such anomalous and stupid compositions. The Directors of this Institution, have at length, we under stand, determined to bring forward at their next Concert, the magnificat in E flat of the profound and learned contra puntist, John Sebastian Bach. We regret that in presenting for the first time to the notice of the subscribers to this Con cert the weal compositions of this master, that the prefe rence was not given to the fourth of his motetts for eight voices, in which tii2re is so much variety of melody and har mony as to recommend itself to the most uncultivated ears. In making this observation we do not mean to disparage the magnificat in question, which is in all respects an admirable specimen of the unrivalled talents of its author. We, how ever, beg to hint to the Directors, that the reputation of a composer may be as much injured by the total neglect of his works, as by the production of them in an inefficient and im perfect manner. The performance of the spirited scena in C natural, from the " Faust of Spohr," at the last Philharmonic Concert, may practically elucidate our meaning. We trust Mr. Knyvett will take care of the rehearsals, and we may then Lope to have Bach in all his glory. ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS. The Duke of Dorset has been pleased to appoint the Rev.

The proceedings of this Committee attracted the attention► of great numbers of persons, who crowded the Committee room during the entire of yesterday. It having been ascer tained that Mr. John Pilgrim, the individual who had evaded so successfully the Speaker's warrant, and whose evidence was supposed to be so material to the petitioners, was in attendance under the care of the gaoler of Norwich, who, in obedience to the order of the Court of King's Bench, conveyed him to London, great anxiety was manifested to hear the evidence which he could give touching the subject under the considera tion of the Committee. The Committee having assembled at the usual hour, Mr. HILL proposed to call in John Pilgrim. Mr. KELLY wished to learn the object for which Mr. Pil grim was to be examined ? Mr. HILL should put the witness in the box, and when he had put his questions to him, it would then be for the Hon. and Learned Member to make his objections to the questions that might be put. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the Committee were of opi nion that Mr. Hill should comply with the wish expressed by Mr. Kelly. Mr. HILL then meant to prove by the evidence of Mr. Pil grim that he had been sent to the Continent by the agents of the sitting Member—that at the late election of Ipswich, he, at the special request of Mr. Kelly, acted as an agent—that in that capacity he was engaged, with others, in various acts of bribery— and if he proved these facts, he would then call on Committee to declare that the sitting Members had been guilty of bribery, and that they were, therefore, not duly elected. Mr. KELLY rose to object to this line of proceeding. The only question now before the Committee was that which re lated to the scrutiny. If they now allowed an examination into subjects already inquired into, they would be re-opening the whole case, a thing that was without a precedent before any Committee. He contended that the Committee had not the power to grant a new trial in respect to bribery, they having already pronounced their verdict on that subject, and that if they did so they would not be merely granting a new trial, but would in fact be lending themselves to a prosecution. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, in conclusion, said that the sit ting Members did not fear the result of the proposed proceed ing; but they did object to it on the ground of its injustice, and because it was calculated to lead to an expense which no ordinary means could meet. Mr. HILL was about to reply, but The CHAIRMAN, after consulting with the other Members of the Committee, informed Mr. Kelly that it was the opinion of the Committee that they had no power to refuse hearing the evidence of Mr. Pilgrim. After some further observations from Mr. KELLY as to the order of procedure, the witness, John Pilgrim, was called in and examined by Mr. HILL. The witness appeared to be be tween fifty and sixty years of age. He said that he was coro ner of Norwich for the last twenty years, and that he had been thirty years in the employment of Messrs. Sewell, Black, and Co., solicitors, of Norwich. He deposed that he had been specially sent for to Norwich by Mr. Kelly ; that he went to Ipswich ; that in two or three instances he gave small paper parcels to voters ; that a Mr. Cook was present when he did ; that in one instance he gave 101. or 151. to a voter, which money he either got from a Mr. Bond or from Col. Dundas , or if not from them, it was given to him in their presence ; that in a conversation with Mr. Kelly, that gentleman said he would not lose the election for some thousands, as Mrs. Kelly was exceedingly solicitous about the result ; that after the elec tion he came to London ; that he called at Mr. Clifferson's, in Bedford-row; this gentleman was Mr. Kelly's solicitor; that at the suggestion of this gentleman, he, Mr. Cook, Mr. Champ, and Mr. Bond took different names, and went to the Continent to avoid the Speaker's warrant. Two letters were then put in, addressed by Mr. Clifferson to the witness, in which money had been enclosed, and in which an account was given of the proceedings that had taken place before the Committee. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned. COUNTY OF CORK.-The entire of yesterday was occupied in hearing evidence, showing that the property held by Mr. Hartnett was not such as he could grant an annuity out of to Mr. F. O'Connor.—Adjourned till to-morrow. BOROUGH OF ENNIS.-The result of the scrutiny before the Committee leaves the parties equal. BOROUGH OF YOUGHALL.-The parties at the conclusions of the scrutiny yesterday were equal. THE ANCIENT CONCERTS. SEVENTH CONCERT. The seventh meeting of this Society was held on Wednes day evening at the Hanover-square Concert Rooms, under the direction of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The presence 'of her Majesty, and a numerous and brilliantly fashionable audience, added to the gaiety of the scene. The selection for the evening consisted of the Coronation Anthem, " The King shall rejoice," the first part of " Acis and Ga latea," and two chorusses from " Samson" and " Alexander's Feast," the compositions of Handel; some exquisite move ments from the " Don Giovanni" and "Le Nozze de Fi garo " of Mozart ; a Song and Chorus, by Pergolesi ; a Madrigal, by Morley ; and a Glee, by the Earl of Morning ton. To these we must add an instrumental Trio, by Handel, performed by Cramer, Lindley, and Dragonetti, and a compo sition of Avison, which Mr. Knyvett dignified by classing it under the nomenclature of " a Concerto," but for what in strument the bill did not set forth, nor could we discover. The difficulties of the piece were on a par with its beauties, inasmuch as the author had fully and amiably succeeded in concealing both these requisites to a Concerto, properly ,o called. The principal vocal performers were Mademoiselle Grisi and Mrs. Knyvett ; Messrs. Hawkins, Vaughan, Balfe, Phillips, and Signor Lablache. To Grisi were assigned the lovely songs given to Donna Anna in the " Don Juan " of Mozart, and we never beard this lady to greater advantage. She sang with great feeling and spirit, and as if she under stood and entered into the magnificent conceptions of th:s divine composer. The andante movement of the aria " Non mi dir," was but too carelessly performed by the orchestra gentlemen, who ought to remember that Mozart cannot be so readily trifled with as Donizetti or Bellini. To those who are acquainted With the delightful orchestral dispositions which occur at the words " Non vuoi ch'io moza I" any ap proach to a slovenly performance would necessarily prove an noying. Lablache's execution of the two bass songs given t.) Figaro and Bartolo, in the Opera " Le Nozze di Figaro," wa,. marvellously excellent, and both masterly and musician-like. The selection from Handel's works was unfortunately such as we have heard again and again. The last movement of the chorus from " Alexander's Feast" was taken too slow, and proved ineffective. The first part, upon a ground bass, is an unrivalled specimen of learning and genius. The overture to " Acis and Galatea" is distinguished by a long twaddling duet for two oboes, and which was but very indifferently per formed by one of the parties. The opening chorus, and tit • one following " Wretched lovers," shared the same fate : bo - 111 ought to have been sung sotto voce until the entrance of " monster Polypheme," when the whole power of the instruments and voices may judiciously be employed. The latter compo sition requires the aid of modern instrumentation, and would have told better had the rolling passages for the bass be, n brought out by the pedal pipes of the organ. Mr. Knyvett is evidently no conjuror, and we s us p ect it would require the most accomplished Mephistopheles to make much out of the • organ and pedals in the orchestraof the King's Concert Room. A Mr. Balfe, a pupil of Mr. Charles Horn, made his first ap pearance at these Concerts in a song of Pergolesi, " 0 Lorj, have Mercy." This gentleman's voice is a pure baritone of rather limited compass, equal, although not powerful, in its quality. His intonation is tolerably perfect, and concept good. Tile first part of his performance was effective and ju dicious ; the latter part coarse, and wanting relief. May ‘ve be permitted to enquire if the " Concerto of Avison" v, as brought forward with a view of displaying the abilities of Mr. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The season at this theatre commenced last night. The per formances consisted of The Village Lawyer, Shakspeare's 'Much Ado about Nothing, and Rural Felicity. The princi pal attraction of the evening was the re-appearance of Mr. Charles Kemble, for the first time since his return from Ame rica. He played the part of Benedick in the comedy, a per formance so well known to the frequenters of the London theatres that nothing new need, or indeed can, be said of it. Its chief merit is a perfect and vivid conception of the poet's meaning ; and to this is added a very skilful embodying of the character, playful and forcible, gay and jocund, but at the same manly and energetic. Mr. Kemble was received by the aue.ience like an old friend, with loud and hearty congratula tions, and, on his part, seemed to feel that such a reception was entitled in return to his best efforts. The other characters of the play were not well supported. The company, perhaps, does not admit of any better display; but with the exception of Miss Taylor, who bustled through the part of Beatrice, and supplied by vivacity the deficienc►es which would otherwise have been too apparent, they lay claim to a very slender meed of approbation. The performance nevertheless went off with spirit, and the announcement of the repetition of this play for Wednesday was received with general applause. It was given out by Mr. Kemble, who, on the falling of the curtain, was universally called for. The house was well filled throughout. PUBLIC PETITIONS. FIFTEENTH REPORT, MAY 18, 19, 1835.

Ste,—Permit me, through the medium of your impartial Paper, to call the attention of the public to the present dan gerous state of Mansion House-street and the Poultry, where accidents are daily occurring, (and which it is almost impossible to avoid by the greatest care in riding or driving through this most important thoroughfare), choked as it is by carriages con stantly passing; and which number will be materially in creased as soon as the new street from London-bridge shall be completed : and although some relief may be afforded, by the widening of Princes-street, it will be scarcely perceptible, as full nineteen parts out of twenty of the whole traffic passing through the City is from east to west, through Cheapside, diverging to Newgate-street and St. Paul's Church-yard. This excessive traffic is highly injurious to the persons residing in the line, and carrying on business, and if it be not speedily remedied must soon end in their total ruin. It is most extraordinary, that the great impediment to busi ness hereby occasioned has not been attempted to be redressed by the City authorities, more especially as it is immediately opposite the residence of the Chief Magistrate, and who, there fore, cannot be ignorant of its existence, but who, nevertheless, has not taken any step to obtain redress. But so glaringly obvious has tile necessity become of some al. teration to protect the public, that it has excited the lively in terest of the Members for the City, nearly forty other Members of Parliament connected in business with the City ; the large Insurance Companies, nearly all the bankers in London, the trading interest of Cheapside, the Poultry, Mansion House street, Cornhill, Lombard-street, and Thames-street, have pe titioned the Corporation to open a new street from the Man sion-house to Southwark-bridge, thus recommending to the Corporation a measure, which had long been considered ne cessary by every person in London but themselves. It may be said that these petitions have been referred to a Committee of the Corporation, selected from their own body, known as the London-bridge Committee, which is a standing Committee with a perpetual Chairman, and, if report be true, all power is vested in him, for it is said they— " Rest the force of their strength, on the power of their might, And the Chairman is supreme, arbitrator of right." If this be the fact, and I believe it to be so, all surprize ceases at beholding the numerous errors that have been com. mitted in the erections under their direction. Witness the round-house. or folly, dividing the north end of Fish-street-hill and King: William-street ; the expense incurred by taking down the banking-house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co., to obtain a depth of only six feet frontage, at the west end near the Mansion-house ; and the necessity that the Committee now find of taking down the Globe Fire-office, in order to have a sufficient breadth to enter the new street leading to London bridge—(the Committee having at the eleventh hour, and after the banking-house of Messrs. .S'inith, Payne, and Co., is rebuilt, written to the Directors of the Glebe Fire-office, requesting to be informed how much money they require for their premises.) Had this step been resorted to earlier, no . necessity whatever would have existed for taking any part of the above named banking-house ; and I believe this is now admitted by the London-bridge Committee themselves-I—still it was pointed out to them long before the work of demolition commenced. Nor do the many errors of this Committee end here ; for the new street now in progress from Moorgate to Lothbury is not to be brought to . its natural termination near Princes-sin - v.!, but is to be terminate in Lothbury, opposite the corner of the Bank of England. And it is also understood that this Committee, instead of recommending to the Corporation of London the formation of a new street from the Mansion-house to Southwark-bridge, so respectfully petitioned for, and alluded to in this letter, that the Chairman prefers having a new street made, passing from Lothbury from Cateaton- street, Lad-lane, Maiden-lane, Bull and- Mouth-street, and Duke-street, into Smithfield, which, beside the enormous expense it would occasion, mu“, like all the other streets leading into Smithfield, be stopped up on two days in the week, say on market days. It may further be remarked, that as soon as the new street is made from Lothbury to Moorgate, a spacious communica tion will be completed from the Bank to Aldersgate-street, Islington, or Smithfield, through Fore-street, Redcross.street, and Barbican ; whilst the Southwark-bridge, leading to the county of Surrey, both Houses of Parliament, Westminster, Eaton and Belgrave-squares, Pimlico and Chelsea (saving full half a mile in distance), there is no direct line of ceromunica tion, except by the present crowded and dangerous line of the Poultry, Cheapside, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, Strand. &c.— That this communication may rouse the Corporation Of London to a sense of justice to their constituency, and prevent entire ruin to a most interesting portion of the City, is the most anxious wish of your Correspondent, H. Y. May 22, 15335. In justice to Mr. Wray of Holborn Hill we cannot longer withold from the public our unqualified approbation of his Chalybeate German Seidletz..Powders.

" THE WIFE," AND " WOMAN'S REWARD."— The Hon. Mrs. Norton has written for us two tales in prose, nearly as musical, and by no mean.; so wearying, as verse ; she has touched, with a master-hand, our sweetest and noblest sympathies; she has lavished upon us not the poetry of ima gery, but of the affections • she has taught us what a delicious blessing it is to he good, and how dire a curse is upon the being who is mad enough to deliver himself over to the go vernment of his passions. We have in both these tales a deep moral evolved in the most pleasing manner, and as the author ess has the consummate art to mae us rejoice in her fictitious joys, sorrow with her fancied woes, and triumph with her ideal successes, we enjoy in her book the higher ends of poetry, and receive at the same time the benefit of the most elevated ethics.—Metropolitan Magazine.

Soon after twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by several of the municipal authorities and the Chairman aid members of the London-bridge Committee, proceeded f;om the Mansion-house in their carriages, when the barriers were thrown down and the train drove down to London-bridge, and afterwards retrograded to Princes.street, by the Bank, which continues the thoroughfare in the line to the City-road, A • -"recourse of persons assembled to witness the ceremony. great ... -e the differences in the late foreign The amount 0. 44 said to have exceeded settlement at the Stock 'Exchange ... .3 4s. .sliccks ten millions, of which one banking house alone p.m, ... of its customers, upwards of two millions. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 2, 1835. TURNPIKE TRUSTS. The Committee on the " Surrey and Sussex Roads Bill " having met, pursuant to adjournment, the Chairman stated that since the last meeting he had seen Mr. Fox Maule on the subject of the intentions of Government with respect to turnpike trusts generally, when he was informed that Mr. Maule had prepared a Bill fur the extinction of turnpikes throughout England and Wales, which he would introduce on the Ist of July, when the Bill would be printed, and Members could consult their constituents before they were called on to vote on the subject. Mr. GREENING (in the absence of Mr. Thessiger) then proceeded to state the case of the promoters of the Bill, whe n he was stopped by Mr. L. COLBORNE, who inquired if he was aware what op position was intended to the Bill ? Mr. GREENING said that he believed all opposition, except that of the parish of Christ Church, originated in a mistaken notion, and would probably be withdrawn. Mr. HAWES and Mr. HARVEY said that they should oppose the Bill in all its stages ; it was merely throwing an addi tional burthen on their constituents. Mr. LAURIE said that in order to prevent any such mistake as had been alluded to, he would put in a special clause, exempting his clients from any additional charge, and if the promoters of the Bill would consent to this, he should with draw from any further opposition. After considerable discussion, Mr. HARVEY moved that " the Government having inti. mated through Mr. Fox Maule that it is contemplated to in.: troduce a measure regulating turnpike trusts throughout Eng land and Wales, this Committee recommend the promoters of this Bill to postpone any proceedings thereon until such mea sure shall have been laid before Parliament." This resolution having been carried unanimously, the Bill is virtually put an end to for this session. Adjourned sine die.

The Seventh Anniversary Dinner of this Institution took place yesterday evening at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate street, and was attended by about 120 gentlemen. In the ab sence of the Lord Mayor, who was to have presided, and who was prevented by other circumstances from attending, PASCOE ST. LEGER GRENFELL, Esq., took the Chair. When the cloth had been removed, and Non Nobis Dominc sung by Messrs. Broadhurst, Hawkins, Fitzwilliam, and Bellamy, the professional gentlemen present, the CHAIRMAN gave, with the usual honours,— " The King."—Air, " God save the King." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, observed that the females of Great Britain were always foremost in pro moting charity, and none of them had been more conspi cuous in this respect than the illustrious female whose health he was about to propose— " The Queen."—( Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN had now a not less pleasing task, in pro posing the health of one to whom they all looked forward with promise, in anticipation of her filling that throne which females had before filled so illustriously and so usefully to the empire.—( Great cheering.) He gave this toast with the more pleasure, not alone from the public testimony due on these occasions to the influential members of the Royal Family, but also from the circumstance of a letter having been just placed in his hands, announcing that Her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria had kindly consented to become patrons of this Society.— ( Cheers.) Much might be augured of good from this cir cumstance, when they found their future sovereign taking those steps which were most likely to promote the comfort and happiness of her subjects.---( Cheers. ) " Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and the other noble patronesses of the Society."— ( Great applause.) " The Army and Nary." The CHAIRMAN-Gentleman, I now come to a toast which I offer to you with perfect confidence, and to which I am sure you will cheerfully respond. It is the occasion which has brought you all together, and which I regret for your sakes has made me your unworthy Chairman.—(" No, no.") I need not say that I am about to call your attention to that excellent charity which although young in years, is gain ing vigour and strength in its progress, and which I hope will fully realize the expectations which its most sanguine advocates have formed respecting it. Gentlemen, we live in a land in which one of the greatest boasts, and one of the highest sources of pride is, the universal feeling of charity which per vades it. We cannot walk through almost any of our street. in which some of those most useful institutions do not stare us in the face, on the right hand and on the left. We cannot unfortunately avoid seeing the miserable objects whom po verty, shame, and degradation, bring before us; but we can hardly see one of those ,without having at hand some benevo lent institution for their relief. We have charities for all sorts and conditions of the people, but none which more entirely calls for sympathy and support than that which opens its doors wide to all the most needy and wretched of the human race.—( Great applause.) Gentlemen, I love this charity be cause I feel as a Christian—which is the first principle we should have in view—that this institution is based upon the purest Christian principles. Yes, Gentlemen, the principle upon which it acts is that great one delivered to us by our Di vine Master, " Knock, and it shall be opened to you • seek, and you shall find ; ask, and you shall receive."—( Applause.) And this, I truly believe, is the fundamental principle of the Free Hospital.—( Much cheering.) I know, gentlemen, that in many instances charities are liable to abuse, and that many appeal and are partakers of their benefits who have Ile right to them ; but still for an occasional slight abuse we should not, in any way, detract from their obvious usefulness. I believe that if we could make the poor support themselves independently of publid charities, we could not do them a greater good. But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that in this great metropolis there are hundreds of thou sands of wretched objects, who get up in the morning with out knowing where they can lay their heads at night, and who go fasting to bed without knowing where they will get the next bone or crust, to relieve what may be called their famine.—( Hear.) I saw at Wapping an Asylum for Poor Sailors, where hundreds of those who have faithfully and gallantly done their duty to their country congregate of a night, with hardly a rag to cover them, and who, perhaps, have not had a morsel of food for many hours. Such being the distress among all classes, I say that, al though you do wisely to narrow the bounds of charity within the means of its supporters, yet that it is most Christian-like to open and extend it as far as in our power to those who are perishing for want of its succour.— ( Cheers.) This is the widely-diffused philanthropic prin ciple on which our Hospital is based—now, truly, a Free Hospital—for his Majesty has signified his pleasure that its title may be that of a Free Hospital in the widest sense of the term. Few of you can forget the impression which was pro duced upon the public mind three years ago, when that awful scourge, the cholera, after having devastated the East and the West, visited us. Dial our Institution then shut its doors ? No.—( Cheers. ) Did it create fresh regulations for the pur pose of keeping away infection ? No. Did it turn away the poor convulsed wretch in the agonies of that fearful disease, when brought to its doors? No.—(Great cheering.) I be lieve it alone of all the great institutions of the metropolis— not that I mean to derogate in any way from their importance or utility—but this alone of all the public hospitals received or administered relief to those suffering under the visitation of malignant cholera.—( Great applause.) lam sure 1 need not add another word, and I now call upon you as Christians, as Englishmen, as citizens of this great metropolis, which is truly the seat of charity, to drink—" Prosperity to the Free Hos pital of Greville-street."—( Great cheering. ) The Hon. Secretary, JAMES SHARPE, Esq., here read the Report of the Institution for the last year, from which we make the following extracts : " During the prevalence of Malignant Cholera in the Metropo lis, in the years 1832 and 1833, and 1834, the doors of this Hos pital were thrown open for the indiscriminate reception of patients labouring under that appalling disorder ; and upwards of seven hundred persons obtained an Asylum in the Hospital, which they could not otherwise have done from the large establishments in this city for the relief of the sick. The provision made for the recep tion and due care of these unfortunate sufferers, caused a consider able increase of expenditure, and has left the Institution in debt ; an appeal to the liberality of a benevolent public is the only re source they have to liquidate the outstanding claims, and also to continue the benefits of the FREE HOSPITAL. " In the first year, nine hundred and twenty-six persons only applied for relief. From that time there has been a steady annual increase of applicants ; but the past year affords the gratifying and consolatory assurance, that through the benevolence of the subse-i -hers, relief has been afforded to upwards of seven thousand of poor and afflicted persons." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, observed upon the advantages which charitable institutions derived from the patronage of men of rank and high station. He could not help adverting to the late President, the Duke of Gloucester, than whom few in his exalted station were more distinguished in the practice of all the virtues and charities of social life.— ( Hear.) But although they had lost him they had in his stead a young nobleman, teeming with high promise to his country, who had given not only the sanction of his name, but a splendid donation of 501. to the charity.—( Great cheering.) Last year when he ( Mr. P. Grenfell) had the honour of pro. posing that young Nobleman's health, he had made an obser vation which he was not now ashamed to repeat, namely, "that as au Englishman he felt proud of the English aristocracy."-- ( Hear. 1 He believed that they had as few of the vices and more of the virtues attendant upon high rank, and considering the temptations by which they were surrounded, than any cls , s of the community, He felt great gratification therefore in proposing to them the health of " His Grace the Duke of Bue cleugh and Queensberry, and the other Noble Vice-Presi dents." Mr. WHYTE begged to propose a toast, which, he was I satisfied, would meet with a most cordial reception. Ile THE HOP SEASON. During the past week the progress of the blight in the hop plantations has been dependent on the weather, and has fluc tuated with the varied atmosphere. In the early part the increase of fly was considerable—towards the latter end the severe cold checked, in some degree, this increase ; never theless the total quantity of blight does not appear to be at all diminished, and with the present return to warmth, accom panied by humidity, there is at least much ground for appre hending that the blight will assume a more serious aspect. Certainly the accounts received in town to-day fully justify the apprehension. In many parts both of Kent and Sussex from forty to sixty flies on a leaf are reported to have been found. So this, however, we do not attach so much importance, as to the fact that the blight appears to be general. We know not in fact of any district in which fly is not found to a greater or less extent. The trade in town and country have been, as was to be ex pected, after the experience of last year, very cautious in ven turing to act upon the present appearances. A considerable number of pockets, however, have been sold during the week at slowly but steadily advancing prices. The general appearance of the plantations, it is to be ob served, is far from kindly, and it is not too much to assume that the cold n rather adverted to, if it held the blight station ary, at the same time checks the growth of the bine and prevents it from making that effort which is frequently of great importance, and which is not improperly described as growing away from the fly.

Madras and Surat St% >, Donungo • HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON.—A novel under this title, from the pen of Mr. Kennedy, the clever author of Swallow Barn," will appear in a few days. The period chosen by the author is that of the revolutionary war in Ame rica, and the story is founded upon the actual adventures of a remarkable man well known in the Southern States of the Union, under the appellation of " Horse-Shoe Robinson." Mr. Kennedy enjoys a high reputation in the United States. His forthcoming work is characterised, we are told, by great dramatic power, and adheres with more accuracy to the real history than is usual in works of fiction. A poor fellow was run over by the Apollo conch in Southampton on Tuesday ; the wheels passed over the lower part ef the abdomen, but strange to say, caused only trifling COLBURN'S NOVELISTS.
