(Cheers.) In the next place, they had to thank those, and they were many, who were scattered widely over the land, some with ex tensive and others with less extensive collections, but who from the treasures of art which they pos sessed had liberally contributed to the exhibition. (Cheers.) In the fore front, as in everything which could contribute to the gratification, instruction, and improvement of her subjects, was her Majesty the Queen. (Cheers.) Before the notion of this exhi bition was a fortnight 01l they had the honour of receiving from her Majesty an unreserved placing at the disposal of the committee of every portrait in the royal palaces, with the exception of some very few which hung upon the walls of her Majesty's private apartments. How far the committee had profited by the gracious permission might be ascer tained by looking at the catalogue, which showed that something like 80 portraits had been contributed by her Majesty. (Cheers.) Her Majesty's example had been followed most liberally and most munifi cently bythe owners of most of all the great collec- T ex h p a r t e w ss a t s h a e tions in this country, and we have been allowed by the kindness of their possessors to draw upon the tee of council,dsaet valuable stores contained in the galleries of the of arranging Duke of Devonshire and other smaller but not less interesting collections.

(Hear, hear.) And he had no doubt that if the exhibition were continued for another year, or for two years, which would depend on the decision which the Government might form on the question, and the number of pictures offered for their acceptance, the exhibition would perhaps be still more satisfactory, approaching as it would the time when less doubt would attach both to the painter and to the portrait. After some further observations on the subject of the history of painters and pictures since the accession of Geo. 111., from which time he dated a manifest improvement in British art, he concluded by again thanking the company for the manner in which his health had been received.

Let me name some me now to some of the artists not sufficiently known. and some who still appreciated because ask, has the Academy who have existed in our day, exist—such men as Turner, r G e i a b d s y o , n C , a E llc a o s t t t ia , Wilkie, Etty, k3Lauhelia, Herbert. There are several other names of artists whom I will spare, but whose works, now adorning these walls, speak for themselves. May I now be allowed to ask, has the Academy failed in its mis sion ? Has it any cause to be ashamed of its chil dren ? Nay more, can I believe it is possible that there is a man in this august assembly, who, whilst he is proud of his country's greatness—its greatness in arms, statesmanship, literature, and science, and its vast increase of commercial prosperity—does not also feel some pride in the British school of art which has been so honourably recognised and appreciated by all foreign nations ? I must, however, with sorrow confess that the Academy has not enjoyed that popu larity with the general body of artists which we so anxiously desired it should possess. And I am glad to have the opportunity of stating that I attribute it mainly, if not solely, to the total insufficiency of space to meet the requirements of the age. lam sure this company will be surprised to hear that the annual average of accepted works will have passed the judg ment of the assembled council as of sufficient merit to have a place on these walls is 180, all of which are returned solely from want of space. This pain ful necessity has, I assure you, been a source of the deepest sorrow and pain to the members of this aca demy. We are thus compelled to go on year after year accumulating enemies, for it is not only the unfortunate artists who are offended, but there is the indignation of their relatives and friends, - and the sympathy of the public, all of which this aca demy has to contend with. And may I ask what so ciety could exist as we have done under such diffi culties? We are every year compelled to shut up our schools for want of space during the three months of the exhibition, and our fine collection of diploma works, and other works of art which we would be glad to exhibit, at this time are nailed up between the wall and the outer planking on which the modern pictures are hung. But, my lords and gentlemen, I hope better days are in store for us ; and that before long weshall possess a new building with such increased space as will enable us in future to hang every accepted work. When that day comes The PRESIDENT next gave "The Health of the Lord Mayor, and Prosperity to the City of Lon don." His Lordship briefly returned thanks, after which the distinguished assembly broke up. The New Excise Law of New York. I confidently expect a more cordial feeling between ourselves and the general body of artists. Not, gen tlemen, that I am so sanguine as to expect that we The New York Times, of April 18, says that this measure, constituting, as it may be made to consti tute, a powerful engine for reforming very much shall escape with entire impunity, for I find from its earliest days the academy has always been more or less assailed. And I remember Sir Walter Scott, in the introduction to one of his novels—" Old Morta lity," I think—speaks of a cert: in artist he calls Dick Tinto, who was originall;-. sign painter, but who afterwards set up in London, " where he was getting on so well that now he got to damning the hanging committee at Somerset-house." I suppose we shall always have our Dick Tintos, but I confi dently expect, when we have increased accommoda tion, we shall rally around us all the best artists in the country. Gentlemen, lam shocked at having detained you so long, but I cannot sit down without correcting one small error. In speaking of succeed ing to the late Sir Charles Eastlake as president, I do not think I am strictly correct. The president whom I immediately have the honour to succeed to is Sir Edwin Landseer. We all earnestly wished— and none more than myself—that he should fill this chair, on which his name would have cast so great a lustre ; and though he only could be persuaded to retain the post for one whole week, the academy have the proud satisfaction of knowing that his name is registered among the presidents of the academy. (Cheers.) The PRESIDENT next gave " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers." that has been wretchedly and defiantly vile in our city, has passed the Legislature, and the police are at once proceeding to act upon it. The captains of the various precincts are to report, on or before the 28th inst., full particulars of every place where in toxicating liquors are sold, and the character of such place, the nature of its business, whether it sells liquor at unlawful seasons, whether it has female attendants ; and, in short, any other particular of interest to a community of respectable people. We need not here enlarge upon the extent and signifi cance of such an inquiry. That it will bring into view many new f acts is not to be supposed. The miserable dens wh ere every vice is practised are already known to the police, and the more costly re sorts of giddy young men and vicious old ones have long been looked upon with sorrow by every wellwisher of humanity. The Board of Health, in seeking power to control these corrupting influences, no doubt were well aware of the greatness of the task they would have to perform, and there is no reason for any apprehension that they will not set about it with courage. If they are also careful and discreet they will undoubtedly render a great service to the city. The intention of the new act is not to com mence the enforcement of a quasi Maine Law in New York. No such attempt could succeed were Earl RUSSELL, in responding, was understood to say that although he had sometimes expressed a doubt as to the propriety of giving the health of her Majesty's ministers in that place, yet he could not be so ungrateful on thepart of his colleagues and him self as not to acknowledge the toast which they had just done them the honour of drinking. He was most happy to see Sir Francis Grant occupying the chair on that occasion, and felt sure that he would occupy it most worthily. With respect to these exhibitions he had always thought that the art of this country had tended to improve the mind, and thereby added to the highest kind of gratification, but that they also tended to promote the cause of literature and other interests which they had all so much at heart. For instance, many pic tures were devoted to the commemoration of great acts of heroism and valour—acts which were re corded on the page of history, and which would ever be commemorated as part of the glory of this country. It might very well happen that young men, not only inspired by what they had read, but what they saw represented with so much talent, so much art, and so much life, upon their walls, would gather from them inspiration to serve their country like Nelson, Wellington, and others, and enrol their names in the annals of fame. With regard to other illustrations, the literature of England, of which the nation might well be proud, and which might com pare with any literature in the world, that, too, was illustrated by art. The resources of art were em ployed to illustrate the immortal works of literature, and thereby men became more devoted to literature, so that art and literature materially illustrated and commended each other. In this way the glories of the country were enshrined in the art as well as in the literature of the nation. The noble earl, in conclusion, stated that it gave him great pleasure to be present, and thanked the company for the cor dial manner in which they had received the toast of " The Health of her Majesty's Ministers." The PRESIDENT next gave " The Health oft e ll Earl of Derby," an d r eferred to the recently o p en exhibition of national portraits. was indistinctly heard, sa id he The Earl of DERBY, who was lo n u si d d l considered it in any in such a one as high honour to have his n assembly, but more especially , e y r ecdh cheered, e a d but ery h a d engaged no ordi he might venture to ecit in the minds of artists, the present, with au undsearytaking hich he thought students of history, and, he of lovers of art, of public generally. But at might g r nary d a e d g d r , e e of of the British und to say that the part he inter same time he was the had performed in it had been from the fi rs t only a secondary and subordinate one. It was quit e true he had the good fortune, in the first instance, dur ing a casual conversation with Mr. Samuel Itedgrave, on the subject of the miniature portrait exhibition of last year, to suggest incidentally an idea which had long dwelt in his mind, that such au exhibition as had now been realised could not fail to be one of the deepest interest. That casual conversation was reported by him to the C omm itt ee of Council on Education, They were good enough to entertain it attempted. The subjects in view are, on the con trary, to recognise, so far as the granting of licenses is a recognition, the trade of liquor-dealing, but in responsible and respectable hands. At present, while a large number of well-conducted houses exist, where order and decency are carefully ob served, and which pay their share toward the sup port of the Government, there are thousands of stores, so called, which neither thus contribute nor have any observances save those of riot and licen tiousness. These latter are to be checked, and by that check honourable dealers will be known as such, while dishonourable dealers will no longer remain. There has been much argument for and against the bill. We need not give the arguments of its friends. But those of its enemies are worth a passing notice. They claimed that it was an in terference with vested interests and local rights— as if any person could have a vested interest or local right in the corruption of public morals. They asserted, moreover, that the principle of democratic self-government was infringed —and they forgot to say in what respect. New York is a city, the cor rupt governing influences of which have long been a disgrace to us Americans. There was self-government and it was abused. There ur T ifi h e e a r t e ie i n s still lies self-government, but the hope o in its extension.

On the whole, the prospect, therefore, looks cheer ful, and will continue so if, as we said before, the Board of llealth are as discreet as we are persuaded they will be honest and zealous. The Culti • vation of hops is extending very much in Michigan, Wi scons i n , a nd other North-western Stat e s . Hop growers nave realised large profits from the sales of last year's crop. It has been w:Tertained that the American beet eau, in high latitudes, be preserved through the winter un injured.

Th© prope r machinery, skilful labour, and experiment will certainly succeed if the mana g ors a re, careful to procure scientific supervision.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY .- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex!ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain. a specialite i ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 55, Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

CONSCIENCE STRICKEN.--About four months a paragraph in The Sun detailed the robbery of the foot postman carrying the mail bag between the village of Tarband, Aberdeenshire, and the Deeside Railway Station at Aboyne. The event happened early in the morning, the postman, an old man, being thrown down on the road, and his bag stripped of a bank parcel containing 878 notes. Suspicion at first rested on the postman himself, and he lay in gaol for a week. lie was ten liberated, and th e police constable of the district apprehended and put in confinement, where he remained till Saturd a y l as t , w h en he was placed at the bar of the Circuit Court, before Lords Ardmillan and Neaves. Meantime , although th e c l oses t search had been going on in the woods and fields about Tarband, not the slightest clue could be got to the missing money. Milne, the policeman, pleaded not guilty to the charge. After a whole day's trial, during which 30 wit nesses were examined, he was discharged from the bar, the jury giving an unanimous verdict of not p roven. Yester day (Friday) the stolen parcel, with the seals unbroken, an d t h e m oney untouched, was mysteri ous l y returned to the bead office of the bank in Aberdeen, w h ence or by whom no trace whatever has yet been obt a i ne d . quiteextensively that th e amount produced in the ma nu f ac t ure o f Farmers throughout the United St a t es are en gagedinapl e sugar,th i springand i t is estimated tide season will be double that of last.

His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, who was received with loud cheers, said—l thank you most sincerely for the very kind manner in which you have proposed my health and that of the Princess of Wales and the other members of the royal family. I also thank this company for the very kind manner in which they have received the compliment. I need hardly assure you that it is a source of sincere gratification to me to be present here a second time at the anniversary dinner of the Royal Academy, especially on this occasion, when I am enabled to have the opportunity of supporting you when you first take the chair as President of the Royal Academy. (Loud cheers.) On this oc casion I cannot forbear to refer to the memory of one whose loss we all must deplore. I allude to your late president, Sir Charles Eastlake. (Cheers.) You, the royal academicians, knew him so well, and know how justly popular he was, that it would be superfluous in me to pass any eulogy on his name ; but I cannot forbear paying my small tribute to his merits, considering him as an old friend of mine, having known him from my childhood. I now take the opportunity of thanking you, Sir Francis, for the very kind manner in which you have alluded to my name. I need not assure you that I shall always be ready to do my best to assist in promoting the welfare of art and of science, and in that way fol lowing the bright example of the public career of my lamented father. I thank you for the manner in which you have referred to me as " a brother of the brush." I shall never be able to compete with you as a painter, but I hope, at the same time, I shall be ible to enter the lists with you as a follower of foxhounds. (Loud cheers.) The pictures in this exhibition certainly record the times in which we live, and the subjects of them in general lead us to congratulate ourselves that our country is at peace. There is one picture, however, to which I would beg to refer, and it is one of a distinguished countryman of yours, Mr. Ross, who is represented as a rifleman shooting for a prize. This, I think, is a picture of no ordinary interest, especially in connection with the volunteer movement. His royal highness again thanked the company for the dis tinguished manner in which he had been received, and resumed his seat amid loud cheers. The next toast was " The health of the army, navy, and volunteers," to which The Duke of CAMBRIDGE responded, followed by His Royal Highness Prince ALFRED, who said—l thank you for the way in which you have been kind enough to drink my health. I can assure you I am very proud to have my name associated with that of the royal navy. It is the first time I have ever been called upon to answer in the name of the profession to which I belong, and I am sure you will think it has the same claims for respect and sym pathy as it ever had. It gave me great pleasure to be able to accept the invitation of the President and Council of the Royal Academy to be present at this dinner, and also to have the opportunity of making myself acquainted with the many beautiful pictures exhibited here. Among the pictures connected with the profession to which I belong there is one which must have struck every one with the greatest admi ration. I allude to the historical picture of " The Death of Nelson," by Maclise. (Loud cheers.) There is also " The Burning of the Bombay," by Captain Brady. The first, represented here, and still more grandly in the House of Lords, is a scene that will ever be memorable in the history of Eng land ; and the second, though depicting a lament able calamity, will also be remembered with a cer tain pride and satisfaction by all Englishmen, show ing, as it does, that British sailors are made of the same stuff as they were at the battle of Trafalgar. I beg to thank you again for the honour you have done me in drinking my health in connection with the navy. (Loud cheers.) Lord BURY returned thanks for the volunteers. The PRESIDENT next gave the health of Prince de Teck and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, with the expression of an earnest hope that every happi ness may attend their union. The Prince DE TECK briefly acknowledged the compliment. The memory of the late President, Sir C. East lake, was next drunk in silence. The toast of " The Guests" was responded to by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The PRESIDENT next said—My lords and gentle men, I beg, on the part of the Royal Academy, to return their grateful thanks for the distinguished honour you have conferred on them. For the kind and flattering observations you have expressed to wards myself I beg to offer you my special grate ful thanks. (Cheers.) The position in which I have been placed is one attended by much difficulty and very heavy responsibilities. I consider that the difficulty of the situation is greatly increased by the circumstance [that I succeed to a president who was so eminently fitted to adorn the post. I feel how far behind I must follow in the path he trod with so much honour. At the same time I shall endeavour to recollect that in him I have a perfect model to direct my steps, and I beg now to repeat what I said when my brother academicians did me the great honour to elect me, that I should en deavour, as far as lies in my power, faithfully and conscientiously to fulfil my duty, not only to the Academy, but to the general body of artists— (cheers)—and, with God's blessing, I hope for suc cess. My lords and gentlemen, the academy has this year met with another heavy loss in the death of the late Mr. Gibson, the sculptor, whose reputa tion was European. It was observed of him by his friend the late Sir Charles Eastlake, whom he so quickly followed to the grave, that the union of such great genius with such remarkable integrity and simplicity of character was absolutely sublime. In him the academy have lost one of their greatest ornaments. (Cheers.) Gentlemen you are all probably aware of the magnificent bequest Mr. Gibson has made to the Royal Academy—leaving the original casts of all his works, some statues in marble and also a considerable sum of money. Turner also, and Chantrey, left noble bequests to this academy : and its members cannot but feel that these bequests, coming from such illustrious men, i educated and nurtured in the institution, s the highest testimony that can be _borne to its worth. This academy has now existed nearly a century, during which period it has given the highest art education to 2,936 students entirely from its own resources, without socking :any pecuniary aid from. the Government (Cheers.)

DROVIDENCE ROW R NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, ez e receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is prop,,,sed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.
