At a Meeting of the Authorities of several of the London Char:ties, held at St. B rtholomew's Hospital on the Ist inc.. for he purpose of considering "The Charitable Trust Fees Bill," which stands for second reading on the 9th inst., It was Resolved That it is of great importance to the interests of charitable institutors to resist the renewed attempt made by this bill to i.npose a tax on the avenues of charities. That the ( harity Commissioners were established on the t nderstanding that the salaries and expenses of the commis sioners should, as provided by the act constituting the com mission, be paid out of the general revenues of the country. That it is contrary 40 sound policy now to attempt to reverse th's legislation, and to transfer the burden ot main taining the commission irons t e national funds to those expended In the relief ot the poorest c'siss of the community. That it is the duty of the State t I provide for the mainten ance out of the general revenues of the country of such autho rities as it is thought expo Bent to constitute for the ; urpose of preventing abuses in, and facilitating"the administration of, trusts for public purposes. That, as the salaries a:,d expenses of the Poor Law COll - the Copyhold Enclosure and Tythe Commis sioners, the inspectors of factories and of the educational and other similar departments of Government are paid out of the Exchequer, it would be unjust to adopt a different course as regards salaries and expenses attending the supervision of funds dedicated to the relief of those classes who, from their condition of suffering and need, have equal, if not gi eater, claims for consideration. That these Resolutions be published in the newspapers, for the purpose of calling the attention of the public •to the important principle involved in the above-named bill, and inviting the trustees and friends of charities to prompt and vigorous action in order to prevent its pwsing into a law.

London Depot, 71, Oxford-street (nearly opposite the Pantheon). This Company is incorporated for the purpose of supply ing, under circumstances peculiarly advantageous to the Shareholders, the great demand for wharves, sites for manu factories, ship-building yards,• and graving docks within the port of London, which the natural increase of trade, combined with the removal of existing water frontage by the formation of the Thames Embankment, and other me tropolitan improvements, has created. The Company is incorporated by a special Act of Parlia ment passed last session, by which is obtained power to acquire a largo tract of land at Millwall, consisting of up wards of 198 acres of freehold land adjoining the East and West India Docks. This land will be rendered available for the purposes above-mentioned, by the construction within its area of large docks or basins, with access for the largest vessels both from Blackwall and Limehouse Reaches ; so that the deep water frontage thus created by the works will become immediately valuable in the highest degree for wharves, granaries, manufactories, ship-building yards, and similar purposes ; and, from the water being always kept at high level, the saNteg of time and cost in - all operations of lighterage, loading and unloading, which may be effected without respect to tides, will render this site far more valuable than land abutting on the Thames itself. The proposed works will also include the construction of public Graving Docks of the largest dimensions, capable of receiving vessels of even greater size than H.M. iron clad ship Warrior, and of accommodating H.M. frigate Northumberland, now building on the premises of the Millwall Ironworks, immediately adjoining this Company's property. It is a remarkable fact that for the immense mercantile fleet of the Port of London there is but one public graving dock .n the Thames of sufficient capacity to take in a vessel of even ordinary dimensions. All the other graving docks are in the hands of private builders, who require to execute the works and repairs themselves ; and it is therefore not unusual for ships to be sent from the Thames to Southampton, and even to Liverpool, to be docked for repairs. Prom the circumstance of the area proposed to be occu pied lying on an average about ten feet below high-water mark, the works will be executed with unusual facility, the material excavated being used to raise the adjoining land to a convenient level above high-water. The main roads which traverse the site of the proposed works afford good access to them ; and application is being made to Parliament in the present session by the Black wall Railway C ompany f or an ex t ens i on o f th e Blackwall and North L on d on Railway systems, b y which direct railway communication will be afforded for the whole of the Company's works, wharves, and docks with the entire railway system of England. As a Land Company, the present undertaking has enor mous advantages from the unusual ample powers granted by its special Act of Parliament, by means of which it will become possessed, after appropriating about 56 acres for the Docks and Graving Docks, of upwards of 140 acres, with a water frontage of more than 10,000 feet, and from 400 to 800 feet in depth—the whole of which, on comple tion of the Docks, will become immediately available for letting, on building leases at freehold. ground-rents. Be sides this source of revenue, estimated to produce upwards of £50,000 per annum, the Company will also derive a further largo income of about £40,000 per annum, the rents of the Graving Docks, and from dues and charges from the docks, basins, wharves, &c., making a total estimated re venue of £90,000 per annum. In calculating the estimate of dividends very much will depend upon the mode found most practicable in dealing with the income of the Company ; if the ground-rents should be capitalised and sold as they accrue, and taking them at thirty years' purchase, it is estimated that within a period of five years the capital, including the ad ditional amount intended to be applied for to complete the work; will have been repaid, with a bonus of upwards of 75 per cent., and the revenue of the docks and royalties and dues still be available for dividend to the Shareholders ; should, however, the whole rentals and revenues be main tained in hand, a dividend (after providing f o r expens e s, re inte s t on debenture; &c.) may fairly be looked for at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and, when it is considered that the greater part of this is from freehold ground-rents, the valuable description of the property this Company pos sesses will be at once apparent. The Directors have much pleasure in being able to an nounee that the whole of the works will be undertaken by Messis:Kelk and Aird, the eminent Contractors, and that a contract for the first portion to bo executed has been entered into with them, and arrangements made for the payment .by them of interest during co ns truction of the works at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the. Share capital paid up by instalments, and of 7 per cent. per an num on all Shares applied for and allotted as fully paid-up Shares. The interest will be payable at Messrs. Glyn and Co.'s Bank, half-yearly, on 31st March and 3h Setem ber in each year. The first payment will be made p 30th September, 1865. It is believed that so sound a scheme, and one which so specially addresses itself to s o ot vestor, is seldom beenslit tho Ths bas the cuterprice being free hold land and ground-rents removes from it all character of speculation, so often the leading feature in public com panies ; and as a British and home security it will doubt less be appreciated by those who, while expecting goo d profits upon their i nves t ments, yet look for solid security. An accompanying plan shows the whole of the works as proposed when complete. Copies of the Act of Parliament and plans may be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. Applications for Shares in the accompanying form may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company ; or to the Credit Fonder and Mobilier of England (Limited), 17 and 18, Cornhill ; also to the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association (Limited), 95, Bishopsgate-street Within; to the Bankers and Brokers ,• but no application will be entertained unless the deposit of £1 per Share on the number applied for has been duly paid to the Company's Bankers. In the event of no allot ment being made to the applicant, the deposit will be promptly returned in full. 28th March, 1865. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR £5 PAID SHARES.

Office-14, Salisbury-street, Strand. The South London Exhibition, DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. On Saturday afternoon a very interesting ceremony took place at the Lambeth Baths, Westminster-road. The at tractive little exhibition held in this institution of articles of various kinds, contributed by the working classes resident in the southern district Of London, closed a week before under the auspices of Lord Shaftesbury, and now the Preinier himself attended to afford the exhibitors the gratification of receiving the prizes for his own hands. The day and hour were considerately fixed so that most of the exhibitors, if not all, could be present, and the body of the hall, or rather bath, being given up to them, their friends in considerable number crowded the galleries, notwithstanding that an entrance-fee of a shillinghad to be imposed, in consequence of the limited extent of accommodation. Lord Palmerston arrived at half-past 5 o'clock, and took his seat in what was stated fo be the Speaker's chair of the old House of Com mons, a piece of furniture which has somehow found its way to the southern side of the Thames, where it is re garded with great veneration and only brought out upon State occasions. Immediately around his lordship were the Earl of Shaftesbury, Mr. Locke, M.P., Mr. Gilpin, M.P., Mr. Kinnaird, M.P., the Rev. Mr.Bowstead, the Rev. New man Hall, Mr. Watt., the honorary secretary of the late North London Exhibition, and other gentlemen interested in 010 eticeoca of this and similar exhibitions. Owing to the removal of the collection, thee - building itselt would have worn a naked aspect but bar the introduction of some busts and objects of art, lent by one of the exhibitors for the occa sion, and tastefully arranged. Probably the most con spicuous object on the platform was a handsome clock of Benson's make, with which a little incident connected itself. The proceedings commenced with the singing of the 100th Psalm ; after which the honorary secretary, Mr. Murphy, read the report of the adjudicators, which were prefaced by the intimation that it had been thought desirable, what ever the profits of the undertaking, that these should bo distributed among as many exhibitors as possible, rather than in givinglarge sums toa few. It had also been deemed advisable that the awards should be of equal value in the different classes, and that a medal should be struck to com memorate the holding of the exhibition, a copy of which (in either silver or bronze) tho holders of the superior prizes might take as a portion of the value awarded. The accounts had not yet been audited, but the distribution assumed a profit of £3OO. The first-class prize was £3 ; the second, £1 103 ;. the third-class prizeholders received a bronze modal in case, and those who obtained honourable mention an ornamental card. Whatever sum lof :money remained over when a settlement was made would be distributed in fair proportions. Tho following is a summary of the 'awards:—First class, 35 ; second, 85 ; third 123, honour able mention, 129—total, 372. Out of 120 first and second clans prizeholders, 110 elected that a portion of their prizes should consist of a medal, 77 choosing silver and 33 bronze mementoes of the exhibition. Detailed reports were submitted from the secretaries of the various classes. The general report concluded with a warm expression of gratitude to Lord Palmerston, who, " amid the variety and importance of engagements of na tional and world-wide interest, has so kindly undertaken to be present on this interesting occasion, and to distribute the prizes so honourably won, which cannot but enhance their value to the recipients, and may be the means of sti mulating some to higher and nobler efforts. My lord," the report continued, " the committee earnestly desire that your lordship's valuable life may be long spared to advance the interests of the country in whose history your lordship has played so conspicuous andimportant a part, and to wit ness a closer communion between the different classes of the land ; and when retirement and rest shall come may it be but the golden sunsetthat shall precede the brighter glo ries of an unclouded and eternal day." (Loud applause.) The ceremony of distribution was then entered upon. Each recipient ascended the platform as his name was called, and, passing along between the table where Lord Palmerston stood and the barriers protecting the edge of the platform, received from his lordship's hands the prize awarded to his particular contribution ; and, having tra versed the entire width of the hall, turned either to leave the building, or, at his option, descended again to the level of the bath to witness the remainder of the proceedings. This short description is necessary to explain what after wards occurred. The successful exhibitors advanced in a continuous stream to the table, watched with the liveliest interest by their fellows, who, when their own turns came, wore just the same flush of satisfaction on their faces, and evidently felt pleasure not loss real in " a good close look at Lord Palmerston." Tho little procession was an interest.. ing and instructive one ; there es wore but a few paces to tra verse, and yet whole biographi were crowded into th e transit. There were comfortably-dressed mechanics and tradesmen ; there were many, again, with rusty suits of mourning, telling of domestic sorrow and bitter struggles with the world. There were Volunteers, with springing step and military salute ; there were widows and old men, maintaining the unequal contest with difficulty, bent, but still hopeful and self-reliant. There was a little boy, smartly dressed, evidently made a good deal of at home, if not at school ; there was a little girl without a bonnet who might have been a week ago a wandering street Arab. A few patient faces passed the table, only conscious when they were told by friends that Lord Palmerston's was the hand which put the medal or certificate into theirs ; a few hopped blithely along in the excitement of the moment, al most unconscious of their crutches. The burly drayman was a vivid contrast to these, as he rolled pastinhis leisurelypon derous way, as if his dray stood outside andhe had just looked into the meeting for the purpose of getting the illuminated card on the understanding that ho was not to be detained. When, however, the certificate was put into his hands his face betokened that he had obvious difficulty in keeping down a merston to a statement of grievances, and then proceeded to tear up his card. No. 3 fell into the hands of the Philistines, and summarily ejected from the place. In every case the fragments of the cards were recovered, so that it is known to the committee who the persons are who were guilty of these gross acts of discourtesy. It is but justice to the body of working men present to say that they seemed much pained and scandalised by such occurrences. The' prizes were certainly such as any ono might receive with . satisfaction ; and Lord Palmerston, by his o wn acce pt ance of one of these distinctions, administered probably the most dignified rebuke in his power. The medals were of two classes, silver and bronze, from the design of Mr.llartin, a working mar, exhibitor and prizeholder, and engraved by Mr. Joseph Moore, of Birming ham. The obverse represented Fame crowning allegorical figures of Design and Manufacture; the revers© had a centre formed of an oak wreath, surrounding the words "Medal of. Merit." The field of the medal was formed of a number of divisions radiating from the centre towards the rim, enclos ing in each the name of some man eminent in the arts or sciences who has risen from the ranks of the working classes. On the rim is the inscription, " South London Working Classes' Industrial' Exhibition, 1865." The design of the medal was selected bya committee of adjudicators, ing of Mr. Macliso, R.A., lir. iteagravv, ILA., and bir•, Digby Wyatt. The Certificates Were tastefully printed in gold and colours by Mr. Hill, of the Westminster-road. At the close of the distribution, Mr. MyEms, on the part of the exhibitors, presented to Mr. Murphy, the .hon. secretary of the exhibition, an ad dress, with the handsome timepiece already referred to, adding that its mainspring would be but an emblem of what ho had been to the movement. Mr. IltatritY, having acknowledged the gift in suitable terms, said he should have been glad, after the little ebuli tions of feeling which had that day occurred, if the proceed ings had passed off without any personal compliment to himself. Wherever there was competition, in any grade of life, there must be disappointment ; but he must say that the exhibitors having themselves chosen the judges with out any interference, a want of manliness—(loud cheers) — had been shown by those who first by their presence ac cepted the finding of the adjudicators and then resented it. Lord hILMERSTON, on coming forward to address the assembly, was so cordially cheered that it was some minutes before ho could proceed. He said—Ladies and gentlemen, I must in the first place express the deep gratification it has afforded me to be allowed to take part in what has been truly one of the most interesting ceremonies I have ever witnessed in my life. What can be more interesting to a man who takes an interest in the welfare and happiness of his fellow-countrymen, and the development of talent among them, than to have seen pass before him that goodly thread of men, women, and children, recipients of the prizes awarded for the merits which they have displayed in the Exhibition just closed this day ? If there be some whose not unreasonable expectations of higher rewards have been disappointed, they should recollect that the judges appointed by the body of exhibitors—(hear, hear) had a most difficult task to perform—difficult exactly in proportion to the amount of talent displayed by the ex- hibito;s. Because where there are 600 Candidates for dis- tinction, and 300 prizes to be awarded, great indeed must be the difficulty of picking out the 300 best. It is impossi • blo that the most accurate judgment and the most sedulous care in selecting half the names of so large a body, where all have displayed great merit, could satisfy every man that his merits have been duly appreciated and the reward assigned to him which he thinks ought to have been his meed. It is, indeed, remarkable that such intellectual dis tinction should have been exhibited by persons of all ag?s, of both sexes, even by some whose military uniform showed that their leisure hours are occupied in the service of their country—(cheers), and by those also who from their afflic tions might be supposed disqualified from competing in such an exhibition as this. (Cheers.) I have seen many recipients of medals pass before me to-day whom you could _ _ not see on account of the lowness of their stature, children almost, of precocious talent, for whom we may fairly expect that in their maturer age they will arrive at great distinc tion in their respective careers. This exhibition and the works -which it contained are extremely significant of the happy constitution under which we have the good fortune to live—that constitution which opens to every man hav ing talent, industry, perseverance, and good conduct, any honours and distinctions whichhis turn of mind and attain ments may qualify him to aspire to. We live under a con stitutional monarchy, and of such a monarchy an aristocracy of wealth and an aristocracy of rank are essential ingre &min. (Hear, hear.) It is true that aristocracies of wealth and rank exist in many other countries, but unfortunately there are almost impassable barriers separating them from the rest of the nation. (llear, hear.) But no such barriers exist in this country. (Loud cheering.) With regard to the aristocracy of wealth, the medals distributed to-clay have inscribed on them the names of a great number of men who, starting with small beginnings, attained by their ta lent, industry, perseverance, and good conduct, the very highest positions of social merit and distinction. Many more might have been added to that list. And you must all have seen in your own experience men starting from the smallest beginnings who have in this very city realised princely fortunes. In the manufacturing districts examples of this kind are abundant ; for no man can go, even for a few days, into those districts without hearing of great wealth acquired by men who started with little, but, by thoir talents and genius, raised themselves and their fami lies to opulence. (Hear, hear.) Then, again, does the aristocracy of rank in this country consist simply of those who can count in the pedigree generations of noble ances tors? Look at all the great men who have figured in public life. Look at your army, your navy, your law, your church, your statesmen. You will find in every ono of those careers men who have risen to the highest points, who have either themselves started from the smallest beginning or whose fathers began with nothing but their talents, their industry and their energy to aid them. (Cheers.) Ido not mention the names of any of these, though for the men themselves and for their families it would be a most honourable roll ; but you are all conversant with names re nowned in the history of the country, who belonged not to noble families, but who founded noble families ; springing many of them from the very class which I have now the honour of addressing. Does not this afford even greater encouragement thanthe prizes just distributed to all of you who have cultivated the talents with which nature has en dowed you? (Hear.) Wealth is to a certain ext ent within the roach of all; but be assured of one thing, that even if you fail in gaining those summits of ambition which I have indicated, there is no greater source of private c omfort and of indivi dual happiness than the exercise of intellectual faculties and the enjoyment of domestic affection. (Cheers.) The exercise of the intellectual faculties, to which the exhibitors here show that they have devoted themselves, must make them happier men—(cheers) —must contribute to raise them not only in their ow n estimation, but in the estimation of all who know them, and must lead to the noblest of all exercises, of a ll pleasures—th e cultivation, impr ovemen t, an d deve l opm ent of the human intellect. (Cheers.) I may be told that the examples I have cited of men w h o a tt a i ne d grea t wealth or distinguished positions are few, while the competitors are many, and that t o th e b u lk o f th ose w ho s t ru ggle to arrive at such goals the effort must be hopeless., I would ask whether many of you have not gono on a fine, bright day in the beginning of summer to the great seat of amusement, Epsom Racecourse, and seen horses run for that celebrated race the Derby ? (Much laughter and ap plause.) Three or four hundred horses entered for the race, but only one won the prize. (Loud cheers.) All the rest failed to obtain the object of their ambition. But those luckless horses that did not win the Derby won other races. (Great cheering.) If they were good for anything they all won something. (Much laughter and applause.) And thus the training, the industry, the pains, and the expense of those who had fitted them for the competition in which they were to take part were eventually repaid. And so I say to you who are competitors for prizes. You may not all become generals or admirals, you may not all become Lord Chancellors or Archbishops, you may not become members of the Cabinet (much laughter and applause); but, depend upon it, you will, by systematic industry raise your selves in the social system of your country, you will acquire honour and respect for yourselves and for your families. You will have, too, the constant satisfaction of feeling that you have materially contributed to the dignity of your country, to its welfare, to its prosperity and greatness, and that you have been worthy of the nation to which you belong. I beg again to express the extreme pleasure I have derived from what I have witnessed bto-d e veay,n and I trust that hereafter these exhibitions m a y more successful than the present, which I am told has exceeded that of last year. Go on, ladies and gentlemen, and prosper, and depend upon it that the blessings which you will confer upon yourselves and your families will be proportioned to the industry you display, and to the cultivation which you give to those faculties —those noble faculties, with which Travidence has endowed you. (Loud and continued cheering.) The Bev. J. BOUSTEAD moved a vote of thanks to Lord Palmerston, which was put by Mr. Lou.; M.P., and the proceedings terminated.
