The anercial disasters of the past year, only too livid in minds of our readers, have created six vacancies. names of the gentlemen chosen to fill up the vs will, for the first time in the annals of the corpo ration, be published twelve days prior to their election by tke proprietary. We trust that the feeling of caste which has hitherto been the guiding principle on these occasions will be abandoned; that some consideration will be given to talent, as well as to purse; and that the cadets of old houses, who already have sufficient to occupy their leisure, will make way for an infusion of new blood into the still strong though venerable cor poration. The business of the Bank is national business. The circulation of the country is managed by the Bank. The creditor of the country is paid by the Bank. The Treasury balances are in the hands of the Bank. The knowledge, therefore, required by the conductors of such an establishment, whether in the use of the national balances, whether in the management of the debt, or in the regulation of the issue, must eminently require minds sufficiently large to regulate the circulation, and sufficiently practical to enter into the minutest detail involved in the accounts of the national debt. The proper superintendence of 750 millions of capital is of the utmost importance. When the Three per Cent. Consols are shut, the holders of 340 millions are debar red, for one mouth, from the use of their property. The historian of the Bank gives a vivid narration of the labour and mind required in revising the internal arrangements of these gigantic accounts, but adds, " that the import ance to the Bank and the merchant of having a complete command over his money is incalculable, and the result of Mr. Smee's altera tions are not yet fully attained." Many capitalists refuse to hold Consols, because their money is not always available, and are therefore compel led to invest in securities which they . would not other wise choose, and this tends to diminish the value of funded property, But why should Mr. Smee not have bean authorised to abolish the shuttings altogether, and had he been a director, would he not have carried out some plan which would alike have benefited the Bank and the public ? Is it just that the capitalist should pay, as he did in 1825, 72 per cent., because the Bank are too supine to meet the growing wants of commerce? Is it fair that the small tradesman should see his name in the Gazette, because he cannot realise his capital for the same reason ? Is it quite politic in the directors to render themselves liable to reproach out of some exclusive or other feeling, with which the public have nothing whatever to do? There is no sufficient answer in the as sertion that the shuttings are already lessened eight days; more can and more ought to be accomplished. The management of the Bank is not one of the fixed sciences ; it is, or should be, a science of progress ; and if the directors do not elect men who comprehend these things, assuredly the motion of Mr. De Wintnn, which comes on next September, to inquire into the organisa tion of the Bank will be carried, to the great annoyance of that body. History teaches a slight concession may save a great compulsion ; and if the governors of the Bank of England entertain the proposal of the Stock Exchange deputation, and allow Mr. Smee, as one of their own body, to carry cut a complete abolition of the shuttings, and throw open 750 millions of capital during the whole of the year , t he y will merit, and the y will meet with, the only support which can aid them in any future conflict with Government —the support of the great financial classes in this moneyed metropolis.-- Chronicle. CONSECRATION 0 HAMPDEN. Yesterday morning the Ret. Rena Dickson Hampden, D.D., was consecrated at Lambeth Palace Bishop of DR. Hereford. From an early hour in the morning numbers of per sons flocked towards the Palace, anxious to be present at a ceremony, the previous circumstances connected with which, have so long agitated the public mind. The ar rangements were, however, of such a nature that no persons were admitted except those who had obtained his Grace's permission, so that the small and elegant chapel in which the proceedings took place was not in conveniently crowded, while the ceremony proceeded unmarked by any of those exhibitions and interruptions which characterised the confirmation proceedings at St. Mary-le-Bow, on the 11th of January. The usual preliminary arrangements for conducting the ceremony having been performed, Shortly after eleven o'clock the procession entered the chapel, and was composed of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was ushered in by John Burder, Esq., the Lord Bishop of Norwich, the Lord Bishop of Worcester, the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, the Vicar- General (Dr. Burnaby), the Registrar-General (Francis Hart Dyke, Esq.), Dr. R. L'hillimore, Dr. Bayford, Dr. Twist, the Proctor for the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Hereford, and several clergymen, for the most part friends of the new Bishop. Dr. Hampden, accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Hinds, then entered the chapel, followed by John Burder, Esq., of Parliament-street, the Bishop of Hereford's Secretary, and having taken his place in the stall assigned to him, the morning prayers were proceeded with. Morning prayer being ended, his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury began the Communion Service. The Bishop of Worcester read for the Epistle the ap pointed portion of the 20th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, and the Bishop of Norwich read that portion of the Gospel the 2 tst chapter of John. The Nicene Creed having been read by the Archbishop of Canter bury, The Rev. Dr. IhNos ascended the pulpit, and deli vered a lengthy and eloquent discourse. The Rev. Doctor tbok for his text a part of the 20th verse of the 28th chapter of St. Matthew—" I am with you even unto the end of the world," and urged with considerable force of argument the dependence, for the purposes of a right interpretation, of the Oid and New Testaments upon each other, supporting his observations by many texts, and asserting the identity of the Jehovah of the one with the Jesus of the other, and thus proving the divinity of the latter. At the conclusion of the sermon, the ceremony of the consecration was commenced ; the Rev. Dr. Hampden, in his rochet, taking his place in front of the rails of the c ommunion-table, was presented to the Archbishop by the Bishop of Llandaff. The oaths of allegiance, &a., were tendered by the proper functionaries, and taken, and the question of the consecration service put by the Archbishop, and answered by the new dignitary, who, having been arrayed in his full episcopal habits, knelt, and the Archbishop and the Bishops present placed their hands on his head, and invested him with the episcopal commission, and the whole was concluded. ADDRESS TO THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. The following address has just been presented to his Grace the Archbishof Canterbury from tbe Arch deacon and rural Dea p ns o on of Chester, th e part of the clergy of that diocese : " Chester, March 20, 1848. " Most Rev. Father in God,—We, the archdeacon, rural deans, and clergy of the county of Chester, ap proach your Grace with feelings of affectionate respect, to present our sincere congratulations upon your eleva tion to the see of Canterbury. We have learned, by the experience of twenty years, the important benefits re sulting from your mild and efficient superintendence. To whatever portion of the diocese we look, we may trace evidence of that unexampled energy which has stimulated and assisted the great and necessary works of general education and church extension. With cheerful hope we anticipate the blessings which will as suredly result to the Church and nation from the wider diffusion of your influence in the exalted sta tion to which, by Divin e Providence, you are called ; and when we recollect the earnest piety and devoted zeal, the kind sympathy and the urbanity of manner which have so strikingly characterised the Intercourse with your clergy, we rejoice in believing that He who has graciously bestowed upon you those eminent en dowments will by his blessing render them more and more conducive to the best interests of man, in the ad vancement of His kingdom throughout the world. While, however, we endeavour to recognise in your Grace's elevation the earnest and token of great lasting good, we cannot but feel the deepest regret at the loss of those peculiar privileges which we have so long enjoyed, and at the severance of those intimate and endearing ties which have attached the clergy of this diocese to their ou revered and beloved Bishop. W e ferveatly pray be for an increased means of Divine i nfluence, that y may endowed with a spirit of power and of love, and of a sound mind for the discharge of your high and solemn duties, and that after a prolonged courseyou may, when the Chief Shepherd sh all appear, receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. (Signed by the Archdeacon, Rural Deans, &e.) To this address the Archbishop returned the following reply:— " March 22, 1848. .. my Reverend Brethren,—Next to the approval of our Heavenly Lord and Master, the good opinion of his faithful servants on earth is worthy to be desired. I therefore hasten to acknowledge the gratification which I have received from yoar kind and affectionate address on my promotion to the archiepiscopal diocese of Can terbury. Superintendence becomes an easy task when those who are under authority and those who exert au thority are actuated by the same mind and will; and such has been so generally the case with ourselves, that I have had no temptati on towards you other than the trial of love and the spirit of meekness. I shall not cease to pray for the continual prosperity of that por tion of the Church from which, in the Providence of God, I am removed, and especially that you may be enabled to provide additional folds for the flocks which are daily multiplying around you. You, meanwhile, will not be unmindful of him who has hitherto desired to be the helper of your faith; but entreat the Author of every good gift that, by his grace, I may be found sufficient for the more arduous duties which henceforth I must endeavour to perform.

The muses, good reader, (sinless Lam wrong), Have ever been viewed as the handmaids of song. These maids (nine in number) so fiction relates Are able to govern poetical pates. And thoroughly knowing what all kind of wit Is, To help a poor poet in writleg his ditties. And now fir my story—a singular ene— These nymphs were invited by MOSES and SON, Who wished to inform them, of what they must sing, And to tell them of matters concerning the spring.

By the Royal Mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Lott, we have advices from New York to the 10th, Boston to the 11th, and Halifax to the 13th inst., re spectively. The Britannia has only brought a trifling amount in specie. The proceedings in Congress are unworthy of no tice. The Senate adjourned on the 9th, without com ing to any decision in regard to the treaty. The Journal of Commerce states that several importnt modifications had been adopted, and that its rati fi cat ion was certain. General Scott is said to have sent a message to Queretaro with the announcement that unless a peace was concluded within three days, he would proceed to occupy that and other points of the Re public. A rumour prevailed in Vera Cruz that Santa Anna had made an application to General Scott for a pass port to Vera Cruz, and permission to leave the country, and that General Scott had acceded to his request. The bids for the loan of five million took place at Washington on the Bth instant. On this subject the Courier and inquirer has the following : " The expectation of peace has operated favourably on the Five Million Loan, proposals for which, adver tised for some time past, were opened on Wednesday at the :Treasury, and the whole sum was bid for at an average rate exceeding 1.26 per cent. premium. There were bids to the amount of 17,000,000 dolls. The house of Rothschild take 4,000,000 out of the 5,000,000. This is the first appearance in our market of foreign bidders for the United States loans—all of which heretofore, have been taken on American account, and have not been found negotiable in Europe. Yet certainly one can hardly conceive a better operation than this subscription of Rothschild's at a premium of 11 per cent. on 6 per cent. stock of 20 years , or , if preferred, Treasury notes bearing 6 per cent. interest, and coavertible at the plea sure of the holder into a 6 per cent. stock, the means of paying for which are raised by the sale of bills of ex change on London at from 10 per cent. to 104 per cent. premium. The effect upon our money market of this new loan can hardly be otherwise than oppressive in the end, though, since the negotiation, stocks have advanced. Money is now very tight,—the banks are cautious, very sparing of their discounts—and as the premium on Treasury notes prevents their being paid in to the Cus tom-house, the vaults of the banks, not over-strong in coin. are obliged to furnish the means of such payment, as well as of the subscription to the new loan, which can only be received in specie. And there is another loan of 16,000,000 close behind, for whether peace with Mexico be made or not, immediately these 16,000,000 will be needed. The retur n of p eace, therefore, grate ful, and beneficial as it will be in other respects, will not, as it seems to us, bring any immediate relief to the money market." The financial condition of the state of Maryland is shown to be extremely satisfactory. The surplus of receipts over expenditures was 208,000 dollars, which would form a sinking fund towards paying off the State debt. Special honours had been paid to the remains of the late John Quincy Adams. A great demonstration had been made by the people of Now York in favour of Mr. Clay. Our Canadian advices are important. The th ingfollow- speech from the throne was delivered by Governor-General on the 28th ult. : " HON. GENTLEMEN OF THB LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. " I have called you together at the earliest period after the dissolution of the last Parliament, in order that I may avail myself of your advice and assist ance in the administration of the affairs of the province. During the recess, I made an extensive tour through the province ; and I have much sa tisfaction of informing you that I met with the most gratifying indications of general prosperity and con tentment in all the districts which I visited. With the view of maturing a plan for placing the post-office in British North America on an improved footing, com missioners from the several provinces assembled lately at my suggestion in Montreal. 1 trust that it will be in my power, before the clo se of the session, to bring under your consideration a measure for effecting this im portant object. The information which I have received enables me to state that a good and practicable line of railway between Quebec and Halifax has been discovered by the officers to whom this exploration was confided. The distress and suffering to which last year's immi gration to the province was attended have occasioned me the deepest concern. Her Majesty's Government have bestowed on the subject the most anxious con sideration, with a view to the introduction of such pro vision' into the Imperial Passengers' Act as may afford a security against the recurrence of these disasters. It will be for you to determine whether it may not be advisable to pass some pro vincial enactment which shall have the effect of dis couraging the introduction of diseased and helpless per sons into the province; without, however, checking the tide of healthy immigration which so powerfully contri butes to its advancement. The numerous projects for the construction of railways, introduced into the Legis lature in each succeeding session, render it expedient, with a view to uniformity of legislation, and the protection of public and private interests, that an enactment should be passed embodying the provisions generally applicable to such undertakings. I commend this subject to your con sideration. On these and other important matters I shall lay before you communications which have been addressed to me by her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies. The constitution of the University of King's College, a more equitable mode of assess ment in Western Canada, and the improvement of the system of judicature in both sections of the province, are among the subjects which will probably engage your attention. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—l shall direct the public accounts, with the estimates for the present year, to be submitted to you. I feel confident that you will readily grant the supplies which are ne. cessary for the public service. " lion. Gentlemen, and Ge ntlemen, —You may rely on my disposition to co-operate with you in all measures calculated to promote the public welfare. Canada pos sesses in singular abundance the elements of prosperity and social happiness, great natural capabilities, an enter prising, intelligent, and rapidly increasing population, institutions fitted to reconcile liberty with order, and the blessing of peace secured to her, under Providence, by the patriotism of her sons and her connexion with a State which is both just and powerful. The duty of turning these advantages to account, in so far as this ob ject can be properly effected by legislation, devolves upon Parliament. God grant that we may acquit ourselves of the responsibility with fidelity and:success." In the debate on the speech, the following amend ment was proposed and carried by a vote of 54 to 20, leaving Ministers in a minority of 34 : " Moves that the words,—' That we rejoice that his Excellency, during his recent tour through the province, has met with the most gratifying indications of general contentment and prosperity in all the districts which he visited,' be expunged, and the following inserted in lieu thereof,—' That we rejoice that his Excellency derived so much satisfaction from the tour which, during the recess, he was enabled to make thiseugh the province.' " And that the words,--' That we agree with his Excellency, that Canada possesses in singular abundance,' to the end, be expunged, and the following inserted in lieu thereof,—' That—with the possession in singular abundance of the elements of prosperity and social hap piness, resulting from her great natural capabilities; her enterprising, intelligent, and rapidly increasing popula tion; from institutions which in their main characteristics are so well fitted so reconcile liberty with order ; and from the blessings of peace secured to her, under Providence, by the patriotism of her sons, and hor con nection with a State which is both just and powerful-- Canada requires only that these advantages should be turned to account by an equitable and constitutional Government, and by wise and practical legislation to secure those blessings permanently to her people. " "That we feel deeply the responsibility devolving upon Parliament in the endeavour to accomplish these important objects; and we cordially join with his Ex cellency in the prayer that we may acquit ourselves of that responsibility with fidelity and success. " That we feel it, however, to be our humble duty to submit to his Excellency, that it is essential to the satisfactory result of our deliberations on the important subjects to which his Excellency has been graciously pleased to direct our attention, and on other matters of public concern, that her Majesty's Provincial Adminis tration should possess the confidence of this House and of the country, and respectfully to represent to his Ex cellency . that that confidence is not reposed is the pre sent advisers of his Excellency.' " The Ministry subsequently resigned. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MAuctt 10. (From the New York Courier and Inquirer.) and, Last week our market had an advancing tendency, including the effect of the steamer's news on Saturday by telegraph, the improvement was one-eighth to a qua rter of a cent. On Mond a y , after receipt of the letters, fully 6 , 000 bales were sold, half for Englanuarter d, and a fourth to speculators , at a further advance of a q to three-eighths of a cent ; on Tuesday.ihe market was easier, and about 2,500 bales were sold, partly on specu lation, at a decline of one -eighth of a cent from Mon day's prices; on Wednesday the market was still softer and the sales small; yesterday it was again reported on 'Change as still softer, and after 'Change about 1,000 bales were sold at a decline of fully i cent on Tuesday's prices. We cannot now quote middlings with any con fidence at more than 71 to 8 for Orleans, and ii to 7; for Uplands, and fair at 81 for Orleans and i for Up land. Freights it to 5.32 per pound for Liverpool, and i a cent for Hav re. Stock between 45,000 and 50,000 bales. The effect of these advices upon the price of our ? agricultural products was adverse. In this market, in- I deed, flour, by reason of the smallness of the stock ou hand, is somewhat higher, and a few or no shipment s are making. Indian corn has yielded a few cents.

On the day succeeding our last report the feeling of dullness was more apparent, and prices one-eighth leas were accepted for 600 bales, the amount of the day's transactions, the line of the markot being at 71c. for fair Uplands. On Monday, the 28th ult., the sales were 700 bales, at the same rate. On Tuesday the pressing lots appeared to be exhausted, and the sales amounted to 804 bales, at prices one-eighth higher, being equivalent to those current at the date of our last. On Wednesday, the Ist instant, the day was blustry and unpleasant, and there was but little done; but the market was evidently hardening, a growing confidence being felt by operators in better prices by the Britannia. On Thursday, a disposition to buy existing, holders succeeded in the attempt to obtain better prices, at which 600 bales were disposed of. On Friday the sales were 1,000 bales, chiefly for home use, the market closing firm at Bc. for fair Uplands. On Saturday morning the arrival of the steamer Britannia at Boston was announced by the telegraph, and a summary of her news was received about one o'clock. The advance of a half penny brought by her was so unexpected, and so difficult to realise, taken in connexion with the accompanying accounts from the manufacturing dis tricts, that buyers at a quarter-cent advance were not readily obtained, and the sales barely reached 1,000 bales. On Monday, immediately after the delivery of the letter mail, buyers ippeared, and prices soon ad vanced another quarter of a cent, at which the market closed firm, with sales of 7,000 bales, nearly the whole of which were taken for Liverpool, the great demand being for the low grades. On Tuesday the market was amply supplied at the closing rates of the preceding day,'and the sales did not exceed 2,000 bales, closing feebly. On Wednesday only 1,000 bales found buyers, and prices one-eighth less than the closing rates of Monday were freely accepted. Yesterday the weather was inclement, and the operations were confined to small parcels for the closing of orders, and for which lower prices were accepted. We have adjusted our quotations by advancing them three-eights of a cent on our last, to conform to the close of the market yesterday. The purchases for this week appeared to be entirely for orders, and were apparently based on the supposition of over estimates of the crop. from the continued deficiency at the ports, which has ceased to exist, and also from the moderate amount going forward to Liverpool, and the reduced stock there, the improvement being assisted by the greater ease in the money-market, and the hopes of a better trade with India, from which quarter the ac counts were more encouraging, as the low prices which had been ruling there had tended to increase con sumption, and hopes may reasonably be entertained that we shall shortly hear from that quarter of bare markets, and advancing prices. The stock of cotton in the interior towns has accumu lated to a burdensome extent, and must soon be thrown into the ports, and it is probable that the present un looked for advance will materially hasten the disposition of it. At Augusta and Hamburgh the stock is 67,000 bales against 38,000 last year; at Macon, 37,000 bales against 14,000 last year; at Columbus, Georgia, 24,000 bales against 17,000 last year; at Montgomery, Ala bama, 22,000 bales against 8,000 last year. The total receipts at the ports exhibit an excess over those of last year of 39,000 bales. FOREIeN EXCHANGES.

To the note inclosing the memorial of the Peruvian bondholders to Viscount rahnerston, the following reply has been received from the Right Hon. E. J. Stanley : " Foreign-Office, March 17, 1848. " Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 11th inst ., inclosing a memorial addressed to his Lordship by the holders of Peruvian Bonds, urging her Majesty's Go vernment to interfere en their behalf with the Govern ment of Peru, in order to induce that Government to carry into effect an arrangement which would be satis factory to the parties interested. And lam to acquaint you that Lord Palmerston has instructed Mr. Pitt Adams, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Lima, to take an early opportunity to press the claims of the Peruvian Bondholders upon the Peruvian Government, and that his Lordship forwarded that instruction to Lima by the mail of this day.—l am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) "E. J. STANLEY. " James Capol, Esq." ----- TROOPS FOR THE "LINE." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It occurred to me, when I read the various police accounts of the " swearing in of the different railway companies' servants as special constables," that it would be wiser in future to have that civil bedy (rather a misnomer, but no matter) disciplined as soldiers to act in a case of emergency. They would then not only be useful in assisting the Government forces to quell riot, but would also be instrumental in preserving the rail from destruction—a primary con sideration at such a time (as the recent French Revolution proves). We have a dockyard battalion. Why not a railway one? In my humble opinion the services of the latter are far more likely to be called in requisition than those of the former, in the event of an emewte. And then, instead of having a carr icature of an o ffi cer, merely with ' a baton as a weapon of defence, baying one fully prepared and properly armed (which would inspire the necessary confidence on his part, and thereby create the necessary diffidence on that of tbe delinquent), to e s hould have, to all appearanc es, a person comcpeten to e effect the desirable threefold purpose of proteting h public interest, his employers', and last, h not thou g ' least, his own. I am, Sir, your obedient s ervant, A LOYALIST. March 23, 1848. CLEARING OUT OE ENON CZIAEHL.—MX. G. A, Walker, surgeon, has been this week engaged removing from this place tho several thousand uman bodies that lay mutilated , decomposed, and scattered in wild con fusion about its cellars. The trustees of tho chapel, who are poor men, having disposed of the building upon the condition of their removing those bodies, transferred them to the flooring of the chapel, where they were com pelled to leave them, as they had neither means to pur chase, nor interest to obtain, ground for those remains. Mr. Walker, however, kindly interfered, and relieved th e m from their di ffi culty, by obtaining for them a piece of ground in the Norwood Cemetery for the bodies, bones, &c., which filled sev eral large waggons, and occupy in the cemetery a grave of 9 feet sq uare and 20 feet deep. The removal of the bodies, which was com pleted last night, was performed at midnight, under the personal inspection of Mr. Walker, and occupied several nights. The empty coffins, and broken coffin wood, which were removed in throe waggons to an open plain, were burned also under Mr. Walker's inspection, and the ashes collected and consigned to the same grave in Norwood.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the came of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the ori;in of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could Me traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always i n j arious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitatioaal and vital powers. The particular excesses, on are nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is snbioct. This work contains an %emirate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physholov of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative coedit ens ii health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more ime,ortaace than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities if which every man elmuld be possessed. It nafortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excesslye indalgonce aid vicious habits, whether acquired la early lie or troll the follies if advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that aosurate discrimination a ascertaining the crosses of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that lee is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of bib practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR. All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trait to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients sailer from faults of those on who, in their state of hlpe,ssne, they are almost entirely depen- dent; m and it is obvious th e at l any defects In the tempers and eharao ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hart ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral ize the effect of the religious instruction and consolation whieh they receive while is the hospital. It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those et the middle and lower classes ; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. '1 he wont here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has boen found useful in P I USSia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England ; said it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To raise the character of the class by offering to its members a training which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the 1 same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those wh arc justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professional position than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field of labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of Improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the i mme di a t e superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of England and Ireland, as Master. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes& :- 1. Those under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa tifactorily, ae admitted as nurs on codition of their engaging to s continue in r connexion with the se Institut , i n on for a period of five years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed and maintained and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely , under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nu thanrse having others,will this certi be cats will necessarily occ u py a higher position likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which Is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which ss ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-four members, (exclusive f the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England end Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments within four years, or an annual subscription of live guineas, will con stitute a Governor. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay men's within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop el Tort, and the Bishops of Liehficid, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol, Ripon, and Norwich. The Rev. C. Wordsworth , D.D., George Frere, Esq., and D r, Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the lnsti. tution. Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has conse nted to act as Treasurer.

Several of the younger branches of the aristocracy have already enrolled themselves as members of the corps, and his Grace the Duke of Richmond has been offered the com mand. Lord Mandeville, it is rumoured, will be the Major Of the corp. FRANCE. The arrivals of distressed British subjects, refugees from France, continue, and it would seem from the ac counts received from her Britannic Majesty's Consuls at Havre and Calais, that the number likely to arrive within the week will in all probability be very large. Great numbers of workmen from the mills at Rouen and its vicinity are on the way to Havre. All the engineers and workmen employed upon the Dieppe Railway have been sent adrift, and the Bureau do la Marine has di rected the dismissal of all the engineers and stokers employed in French steamers. The latest advises re present that the great manufactory of Baddicombe, near Rouen, has been closed, that the extensive mills of Petit Quenilly, near the same place, have also stopped, and that the proprietor and manager, an Englishman, has left the place for this country. Havre, in consequence of these circumstances, is full of unemployed workmen. The measures which are being taken for the relief of those unfortunate men, moat of whom leave France in a state of almost absolute destitution, are extensive. The committee meet daily, and have already appropriated nearly all the amount which has been subscribed for the relief of these unfortunates. The committee have trans mitted ample means to the consuls at each of the French ports of embarkation, and have from these authorities Lull liberty to draw upon them according to their re quirements, so far as they may be able to supply the funds. The consul at Calais, in a dispatch received by Viscount Palmerston, has expressed his deep sense of the great benefit which the means thus placed at his disposal will enable him to confer. The committee had communicated with the mayor and other officers of each of the seaport towns in England, offering at once to place funds at the disposal of any local committee formed under the presidency of the chief magistrate for the relief of any body of workmen that may have arrived, or that may be expected in their respective ports. In Dover, in consequence of the offer, a public meeting was appointed to be held oa the subject, whilst at Bris tol, Chichester, Margate and other places, subscriptions are being raised and means taken to aid the object. At Portsmouth, Folkstone, Southampton, &c., immediate measures will, it is hoped, be taken to require local bank ers to render assistance to the sufferers. A statement which has gone the round of the papers, is likely in the opinion of those most deeply engaged in this work of charity, to occasion a very erroneous im pression as to the measures that are being taken to pro vide for the refugees who may reach London. All the arrangements which have been made in the metropolis for the relief of those who arrive here, and for passing them to their respective parishes, have originated with and have been made at the instance, and at the charge of the committee of which the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Harrowby, Lord Ashley, the Lord Mayor, and others are members. The accounts stated to have been received by the Lord Mayor have also been handed over by his Lordship to the committee in question, with which his Lordship is in most cordial and entire co operation. The committee referred to are, we understand, in com munication with her Majesty's Government with respect to a measure of emigration which has originated with the workmen in Calais, who express the most anxious desire not to be thrown, at this critical period, into com petition with the already overcrowded labour-market of this country. In the event of the completion of such an arrangement, very considerable funds would be needed, which there is little doubt, however, the public will liberally supply. EXPULSION OF ENGLISH WOR MEN FROM FRANCE. Mancrt 24.—The Transit steamer, Captain Bell, has arrived from Antwerp, which port she left on Wednesday afternoon, and to which date tranquillity prevailed in Belgium . The passengers brought over are principally parties belonging to the West Riding of Yorkshire, who had been employed for some time in the flax-mills at Lille, but owing to the threats made use of by the inhabitants, they had been compelled to leave the country on the instant for their own safety. In some in stances violence had been reported towards the unoffend lug English workmen. A passenger by the Transit, who had been engaged as overlooker in one of the most extensive flax-mills in Lille, states that the treatment experienced by the English workmen was of a nest revolting character, and that from the precipitate manner in which they were driven from the country not one of those brought by the Transit had succeeded in removing any of their household goods or other property, and that in nearly every instance the individuals were all but penniless. In one case, a young man, who was also employed in a flax mill at Lille, bad a very narrow escape from falling a victim in the hands of the excited mob. They demanded that he should immediately quit the country, and when he expressed his willingness to do so, but asked time to collect a few necessary articles of clothing before he removed, ho was violently attacked by the mob, who threatened t, - ) hang him. He, however, fortunately succeeded in effecting his escape, and, after some difficulty, reached the Tran sit in safety. The distressed condition of the passen gers naturally excited the commiseration of Captain 8011, who generously supplied them with food, and otherwise attended to their wants. We also learn that there are still a large number of Englishmen in the neigh bourhood of Lille, who are extremely anxious to re move to this country, but, being without pecuniary means, aro utterly unable ;.0 escape the dangers which surround them. THE NEW FRENCH GOVERNMENT On the Monday following the flight of Louis Philippe, a grand council was held of all the revolutionary leaders assembled to dictate terms u hula clos to the Provisional Government. The wise and calm demeanour of La martine seems to have irritated in no small degree the boiling, passionate nature of Lagrange, whose excite ment was so fierce and terrible that several of the members of the Assembly prepared to withdraw in alarm. Lamartine alone blenched not, and the sangfroid and self-possession displayed in his replies only served to increase the savage anger of his opponent the more. At length,exasperated beyond control, the infuriated Repub lican, drawing a pistol from his pocket, rushed towards Lamartine and exclaiming " Thou art no true patriot!' —pointed the weapon at the head of the Minister—" What hinders me from taking thy life now—at once—upon the instant?" shrieked he, with redoubled fury, as the calm glance of Lamartine met his eye. " Your own con science," coolly replied the Minister, " and the utter uselessness of such an outrage; for should I fall, there will still remain my colleagues, who, all to a man, have resolved to die rather than submit to violence, or, to return to the senseless anarchy of '93!" The words had the effect of calming for an instant the fury of Lagrange --he dropped the weapon which ho held, and, turning pale as death, while his eye quailed before the steady gaze of Lamartine, he muttered between his teeth, " Thou art not a true republican, nor yet a true patriot, but I verily believe thou art an honest man l"—and then sank:again upon his seat at the council-board, trembling in every limb, and apparently exhausted with the effort of passion to which he had given way. It was then that his neighbour, La Caussidiire, managed to seize the pistol which he had placed beside him, and by his pre sence of mind saved the Assembly from a dreadful catastrophe, for in the space of a few moments Lagrange arose, and with the most frightful yells and howling' began to rend the clothes from his back and to tear the flesh from his bosom, until the blood spirted forth, all the while uttering the most fearful imprecations and blasphemies. In an instant the whole Assembly was in an uproar--the terror of the scene was greater than words can describe. It was evident that the fierce ex citement of the last few days had turned the brain of Lagrange and produced a fit of raging madness. He was secured with difficulty, and borne to a rnaison de sante at Montmartre, where he now remains, I believe, still a raving maniac. The Assembly all gathered round La martine with congratulations, but the effect of the scene w as such that many were for ced to retire, and the meet ing broke up. Much commiseration has been felt for Lagrange, who, it can not be doubted, is a warm and dis interested though misgu ided Republican. His absence from public affairs is considered a great relief, as his violence was much dreaded by the other members of the Government. He is one of the handsomest men whom it is possible to behold, and possessed great power over the determinations of the lower class ; there fore the accident which has befallen him is considered by many an almost providential occurrence.—Atlas. WINDSOR ROYAL MILITARY STEEPLE CHAsEs.— Considerable alterations were made by the stewards, on Thursday last, with reference to the closing of the en tries for.three of the stakes to be run for; and one race, the open heavy-weight st ee p le chase, has ben withdrawn.
