At a General Vestry of the Inhabitants of the above parish, held In the Church on the 30th of March, 1848, Mr. Churchwarden CORCORAN in the Chair ; It was move' by Mr. WARD, and seconded by Mr. CARTER, "That this Vestry views with deep regret the introduction of a Mil into Parliament by her Majesty's Ministers, having for its ebjeet the centralization of the Sewage of the Metropolis, especially as the clause including the City of London was withdrawn from the Government Bill of 1847. " That this Vestry deem any measure of centralization to be fraught with the most dangerous consequences to the best interests of the citizens at large, which past experience at home and abroad, have too tally proved, more particularly in regard to the sewers of this City, which are all but completed and paid for, needing only the powers sought for by the Commissioners of Sewers to compel land lords to .enter the drains, be carried into effect," which was carried unanimously. It was moved by Mr. CARTER, and seconded by Mr. VERRT, "That this Vestry have the most unlimited confidence in their . representatives in the Court of Common Council, and especially in those of the Commissioners of hewers, to carry out the powers vested in that body for the government of the drainage of this City, which was carried unanimously."

The muses, good reader, (unless I am wrong), have ever been view'd 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 writing his ditties. And n•w ter my story —a singular ene— These nymphs were invited by MOSES and SON, Who wished to inform them, of what they must slug, And to tell them •f matters concerning the spring. " We thank you, (said MOSES,) for services past ; }for have we the slightest reflection to cast. Much attention to MOSES and SON you've attracted, And have faithfully told of the manner they've acted ; In telling the world what our tailoring trade is, You never have once over-rated it, ladies. You have told what is true—yon have spoken with reason, And now let us come to the present spring season. Please to take a walk round (said E. MOSES and SON) And see for yourselves what a deal we have done. here are waistcoats of newest design for the spring, And trovrsers and over-coats fit for a king. Just notice (said MOSES) the dress coats and frock, And the elegant hats, and the hosiery stock. You've plenty to write on, especially so When we say that the prices were never so low ; Go, tell to the public what fashions attract, And tell them how MOSES and SON mean to act." Here the ladies all curtsey'd, and promis'd to sing With truth and with warmth of the stock for the sprng. LIST OF PRIC aEADT MADE.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, REDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Ilonorary Member • of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could jibe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap *ointments. Excesses are always injurinns ; the gilt, 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 constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on ..he nature and conseonence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions is health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, aid et the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early lily or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering item their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear 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 for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that acenrate discrimination , n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva- Viably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse.sion of the requisite legal qualineatione that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

On the con trary, everything connected with the Carysfort has been satisfactory to the Board of Admiralty, and the report of her order and high state of discipline when inspected by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, at Portsmouth, has re. fleeted the highest credit on Captain Seymour. The occasion of that ship being paid off on her arriving in England, has arisen entirely from the circumstance of the time she had to , run not being sufficient to allow of her being employed .11S a relief on a distant station, and that the services of a ship of that class were not required at home.— Times.

The TWENTY - SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February, within the Company's Office, No 3, George-street Edinburgh. GEORGE MOIR, Esq. Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements submitted by the Directors contained a very sattsfacioty account of the progress of the Institution during the year 1847. It was reported : That the 'number of Policies for Life Assurance issued by the Company from the 15th November, 1346, to 15th November, 1847, was 621. That the Sums Assured during the same period, contained in these Policies, amounted to 443,5781. 4s. 11d. That the number of applications for Policies made to the Com pany, and from which the above transactions were selected, was 804, containing proposals for Assurance to the extent of 591,663/. Bs. That the Annual Revenue of the Company, as at 15th November, 1847, was 131,3161. 10s. 7d. That the whole amount of assurance covered by the Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was 3 ; 262,0901. 14s. 10d. The Report then proceeded as follows: " The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea tures as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while all classes of society, especially tho mercantile community, and our public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaffected by the crisis. 'ffothing can tend more to extend confidence in these institutions than this result ; and ft is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those periodical changes. " Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country daring the past year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com pany has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous „ yeer. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual , bat when the increased mortality throughout the king dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have reason to be well satisfied with the results." After the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman con gratulated the meeting on the favourable position of the Company, and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the most prominent features in the Report. He drew attention to the great increase of the business, the increase of the revenue, and the rapid accumulation of the Company's Funds, which it appeared HAD BEEN MORE THAN DOUBLED DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS. The following Abstract, showing the new business transacted by the Company annually since 1842, was referred te, as exhibiting, in a marked degree, the growing estimation of the STANDARD in public favour:— Number of Corresponding Sum New Policies issued.

We have this week to aneounce an entire change in the Proprie torship of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William liettison, the last of a spirited Reform l'roprietary, dating from the era of the Re form Bill, ceased to have any pecuniary interest in this Journal from the f fret day of March instant. This event, usually:so important in the social and political life of a community, involves in the future conducting of this Paper no change of persons ; no modification of political principles ; no fresh combination of party associations. The late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " Hui/ Advertiser " should always be found the faithful and fearless advo cate of liberal opinicns; and the hands to which he has entrusted it have never perused a sentence which a Fox, a (ire), a Romilly, a Mackintosh, or a Cobden could have objected to as favouring mono poly in trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religion, or corruption in Parliament. lie who was the Editor for the last six years, and who, duriin the whole of that time, was guided in his treatment of all public questions by the free and undisputed exercise of his own unfettered judgment, is still Editor, and one of the two Proprietors to whom the Paper now belongs. The other has for same years conducted the pecuniary business of the office, and will continue to confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call " the Ways and Means " department—an important one in a news paper office as well as in a Royal Cabinet. To tho general render, therefore, there will be little at first besides the imprint to remind bins of a change which has been forced on the late Proprietor by the necessity of extending his regular trade as a brewer. The most satisfactory way of placing this before the public will be to quote the following letter from Mr. Betti,on to the Editor:— " 18, Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, 1848. . . " My Dear Sir,—lt will gratify a very natural degree of public curiosity, and relieve me from more personal questionings than I have time to attend to, if you can make it convenient to announce this week that I am no longer proprietor of the ' Hull Advertiser,' and that the sole proprietorship of the paper is now rested in your self and Mr. Marling. " When, many years ago, I became one of several proprietors, and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the ' lluil Advertiser,' I made up my mind never to part with it, unless to sonic one as strongly devo ted to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The management of newspaper property was far from being as congenial to my habits as the business of a brewer, which I inherited from my father ; but I looked upon the Advertiser' as a public trust, which I felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying out the ob jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform party. For six years you have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Editor. By the fearless and able exercise of your talents and your industry, you bave obtained for it a larger circulation, and a more commanding influence than it ever possessed before ; and such is my unbounded confidence in your personal and political integrity, that I believe that I cannot perform a greater service to the Liberal cause than by committing the chief organ of the Liberal party in the East Riding of Yorkshire permanently to your management and direction. You have made the paper a good property, aid one with which I should be very loath now to part, but that there is a necessity for very greatly extending my brewing business. My son Samuel, as you know, has become my partner in that business, and it requirn that all our energies should be employed in carrying it on with spirit. This is an age of competition, in which to do one thing well is enough for one establishment. " In Mr. Marling you have a trustworthy colleague, and a safe man of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad vertiser office ho possessed, and proved hirnsel deserving of pos sessing, all my confidence. You know his worth, and how to appre ciate it at its true value. " And now, my dear Sir, in severing my connexion as proprietor with the' Hull Advertiser,' it is my earnest wish, as it is that of all my family, that the friendly and affectionate intercourse which has subsisted between us, without an hour's itterruption, since the day of your first appearance in Hull, may be continued on the old footing. You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli tical influence, en my part, than you ever were. Let us then retain the old intimacy so gratifying to us all. Yourself and Mr. Marling have the sincerest wishes of -y heart for your joint success in an undertaking, in which it would be hard to find two men mere compe• tent for their respective parts. Indeed, I knew that your labours must be crowned with success, if merit meets with its due reward. "I am, my dear Sir, " Yours very affectionately, " WILLIAM BE TT ISON " E. E. Collins, Esq." This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea sonably desire hi the way of explanation of a eltange, which will not be felt either in the political tone or in the general management of the "Hull Advertiser." The new Proprietors nave few professions to make, and are content to rest their success on the extent and fide lity of their endeavours to deserve it. One promise the editor may make to the people. The " Hull Advertiser" will never, under his management, be the tool of any party, or the organ of any clique or faction —political or religious. It will never be found supporting corrupt and ambitious men at the expense of great and enlightened principles ; nor attacking the foundations of law and order to court an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals in the most general Interpretation of that term. We are the advocates of Free- Trade—Church Reform—Law Reform—the supporters of an ex tended Electoral Franchise—of the abolition of the Navigation- Laws—the University Tests—the mockery of Official Sweariag— Capital Punishments—and for the substitution of Peace for Military principles in the :government and control of all the nations of the earth. We are strongly in favour of a system of National Educa tion, and look upon the schoolmaster as the great regenerator of our social system. It will be our peculiar study and our greatest pleasure to co-ope rate with every movement having for its object the improvement of the social and physical condition of the people among whom this journal more especially circulates. Local reforms are, after all, the things which should chiefly occupy the constant attention of a pro vincial press. And here we hope to be well supported by our con temporaries of every shape of opinion. We have no jealousy of rival newspapers, and do not propose to ourselves the employment of any means to diminish their profits, or curtail their circulation. We can speak of the success which has attended our own labours without directly or indirectly implying a want of success on the part of our contemporaries. The great mission of a free press is not fulfilled by the traduction of rival journals, or the. vituperative railings and counter-railings of the organs of adverse opinions. The press, as a great intellectual institution, owes a respect to itself inconsistent with those coarse bickerings which are never popular but in a semi barbarous state of society. We trust to be pardoned for observing that henceforth all our in terests are mixed up with the prosperity of Hull. In assuming the proprietorship of this paper, we have aimed as much at making our residence in Yorkshire a permanent ene, as in obtaining an organ wherewith to effect some social and political good in our generation. We are happy to say that it would require no Increase of our present circulation to make the engagement upon which vs e have entered a profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we are not destined to enter upon what, In this ever-advancing world, should be con sidered as a retrograde course. We have arrangements in contem plation, which, when completed, will place us In an advanced posi tion as rexerds our most enterprising provincial contemporaries. Wherever lurking genius is to he found, it will be our peculiar care to draw it forth, and to enrich the world with its hidden treasures. There is a great abundance of unemployed intellectual wealth in Hull, for which we hope some day to find profitable in vestment. There is also a vast amount of moral and social evil to he remedied, not entirely beyond the reach of newspaper influence. In the way of sanitary reform there is more to be done than would sutllce to constitute the twelve labours of Hercules. with these ♦iews, and with an earnest determination to do all in our power to redress the real grievan-es of every class and party of our fellow townsmen, we enter upon the more extended sphere of our public. duties. We ask from all extens ve support, and generous sympathy and encouragement. The " hull Advertiser" is most extensively circulated in Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire, and Is therefore an excellent Advertising Medium for professional gentlemen, agri culturists, auctioneers, commercial agents, &c. It it published for the proprietors, Edvrard Francis Collins and John Marling, early every Friday morning, at the office, 26, Low gate, Hull, where all communications, orders for papers, advertise ments, &c., are respectfully rerpsested to be sent.

SECRETARY — Mr. William Boyack. The Committee appointed to raise a fund for the relief of the Widow and Family of the late William Thom, the gifted but unfor tunate Poet of Inverury, beg leave briefly but earnestly to appeal to the Public, more especially to the Public of Scotland, in behalf of the trust which has been confided to them. The name and genius of Thom are well known and universally ac knon•ledged ; many of the feeling and pathetic effusions of his rinse have been brought before the public, not only in a combined form, but in various periodicals. His talents attracted the attention of the ablest judges; and the Messrs. Chambers, in their Journal, have de voted a chapter to his autobiography, and to that favourable meed of praise to which they considered his merits entitled. The life of William Thom has, indeed, combined the vicissitudes of a bumble child of the Muses, having formed a scene of trials and dis appointments, accompanied by an overflowing share of poverty and distress. Many of his earliest and best years were passed at the llawkhill of Dundee—the remembrance of which seemed deeply Impressed on his mind ; for thither, to use his own emphatic language, he wished to return, like a bird that flutters round her forsaken nest, to spend his latter days in comparative peace and quiet. Ills wishes were fulfilled, for not many months ago he did return from his wanderings, debilitated and impoverished, and breathed his last on Monday, the 28th of February. He has left a widow and three infant children, the youngest but five months old, totally unprovided for ; and it has therefore been resolved to raise a fund, in order, if possible, to afford them permanent assistance. A Cominthee has been appointed, who have cheerfully undertaken this duty, and al ready they are happy to announce that their call has beets responded to in a prompt and liberal manner. Lord Kinnaird, Lord Jeffrey, Mea.srs. Douglas Jerrold and Robert Chambers, and many others, have spontaneously sent their contributions; and it is earnestly hoped that the charitable and the admirers of native genius and un obtrusive merit will support and encourage the laudable object which the Committee have in view.

DEATII OF WILLIAM THOM, THE INVERURY POET. (To the Editor of the " Dundee Courier.") Dundee, February 29, 1848. Sir,—The painful task has been deputed to me of announcing to the public the death of William Them, the Inverury poet. For some time past he had been in delicate and declining health ; and his diseased state of body was doubtless aggravated by the uncer tainty of his circumstances, and the consequent anguish of his honourable tied sensitive mind. Yesterday, in our city, at half past eleven A.M., he departed this life. Ile has left behind him something more than a name—some true and beautitul strains. which, as " a thing of beauty is a joy for ever," the world will not willingly sutler, like the inscription en the coffin, to be burled in the tomb. Ile has left behind him, alas I something of yet ten derer and mere mournful interest—a widow and three children, th 7 eldest of whom is only four years, and the youngest but a few months old. These are " utterly destitute," and but for the kind ness of one or two private friends, might have been cast out ere this to the charity of the streets. I make no appeal In behalf of the poet himself; " after life's fitful fever he sleeps well." Ile has found what the most troubled and tempest-tossed wanderer will at last find, and which to him was peculiarly grateful—rest. Nor will I indulge or express any vindictive feelings as to the treatment which he reetdved while yet alive. A true poet, he met with traly poetic usage. Ile was caressed, but not fed; as if one could sup on incense, or as if one public dinner could keep a man alive for years : But I would bespeak general sympathy in behalf of his destitute family. I would implore every lover of literature — every one who has derived pleasure from the departed poet's lyrics, or from the simple story of his life—to prove their pleasure and their gratitude true by some more substantial evidence than ex clamations or tears. I would call especially upon those who-saw him at our late Watt Festival, and heard almost his latest breath given forth in those brief, broken, but thrilling accents—accents how far superior to the measured cadences of rhetoric—to testify by generous deeds their sense of melancholy satisfaction that theirs was the privilege of meeting with and hearing him for the last time. No time ought to be lost. Indeed, no time has been lost. Intima tions to the above effect either have been, or are immediately to be, dispatched to Douglas Jerrold, Charles Dickens, Lord Jeffrey, and others. But as Dundee has had the honour of containing his death bed, let us follow the start we have accidentally gained by instant, active, strenuous efforts in behalf of his widow and his fatherless bairns. Messrs. Chalmers, Middleton, and Shaw, Booksellers, and Mr. Mills, Perfumer, have kindly undertaken to receive donations. The smallest sums will be welcomed. I am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE GILFILLAN. The last verses of the late William Thom, written shortly before his death SONO OF THE DWELLERS IN DEAN VALE. Tune —" Miller o' Dee." While we laugh aid sing, in this happy ring, With a bright ant a brotherly glee, May we never forget that the sun bath set On the homes of misery. For oh I it may be that this chill night wind Sweeps round some fireless hearth, Fre . ezing the heart of the homeless one, With never a friend on earth. Than aye, as we sing, may we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee ; Yet never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. Man was not made far this world alone, The world was lent to man ; 'Tis a debt we owe to Heaven, you know, Then pay it as well as you can. Now winter rides mad in his carriage of snow, With his pelting rain flial his hail ; May it never be said that hanger and wee Held abiding in bonny Dean Vale. Then aye, as we sing, assay we closer cling, In our bright and brotherly glee, And never forget that the sun may set On the homes of misery. W. THOM. IIESTORATION OF THE HAI R IA) " To Messrs. A.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —An Affection of the Spine and Limbs Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— Mrs. Reynolds, landlady of the " William the Fourth " Inn, St. Ives, Hunts, had been ill for 14 months with an affection of the spine; her feet and legs were dreadfully swollen, and she became perfectly helpless. Several eminent physicians and surgeons attended her, under whose care she derived no benefit, but by the recom mendation of Mr. Prior, druggist, Bedford, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment. These fine medicines in about nine weeks so completely restored her to health and strength, that she is now able to resumed:the duties of her household with ease end comfort.

" I have this day received official intelligence that John Quincy Adams, while fulfilling his duty amidst the representatives of the people of America, was suddenly struck by the hand of death, and expired in the Capitol on the 23d of February last. '• So full of years that he numbered mere of them than our Republic—the companion of the fathers of our constitution—having exercised the highest legislative functions in his native state and in the councils of the Union—selected for employment abroad by Washington —assisting one Administration of his country in renew ing what we may hope will prove an ever-enduring peace, and in contributing towards the emancipation of international commerce—engaged under another in ex tending the blessings of American freedom to new territories—himself for four years President of the United States—he was a patriot firm in his faith in man's capacity for self-government, and always loving his country above all lands of the earth. " The President, the Departments, Congress, and the people have paid him funeral honours. I invite the AmBrican Consuls, and Vice-Consuls, and all others of my countrymen now in the United Kingdom to join in the usual manifestation of sympathy with his country, which has lost a groat and ♦enerable citizen, and with his family, which finds in his virtues their best example and in his deep religious trust their consolation. " GEORGE BANCROFT." THE LATE RIOTS IN GLASGOW. On Friday night, pursuant to advertisement, a moot ing of the inhabitants of the southern district was held in the Baronial Hall, Gorbals, to consider the conduct of the police during the late riots; Mr. Cutiliff in the c h a i r . Mr. Crawford, after a few introductory remarks, stated that the object of the meeting was to a great exteet de. feated, as he had the happiness of informing them that Captain Pearce had resigned that afternoon.—(Great cheering.) However, seeing that they were assembled, he might take the liberty of reading the resolutions which had been prepared. Mr. Crawford then read the reso lutioes, four in number, which were generally condern natery of the behaviour of the police authorities, arci which referred particularly to it being the duty of the chief superintendent of police, in the event of a riot, to put himself at once at the head of the force under his command, and to see that all parties under his contro 1 acted energetically. These were the resolutions, continued Mr. Crawford, which were intended to be presented in a memorial to the town council; but there was now no necessity for putting them to the meeting. He might say, however, that he had no wish in his remarks to reflect upon the whole police force, many of whom were an honour to their occupation; and he had no doubt that, had not the men been fettered on the late occasion, their conduct would have been creditable both to them selves and the city. ;Since he came to the meeting, and bad heard what had taken place, he bad prepared a resolution, which he was sure would not find a dis sentient voice. The resolution was to the effect, " That this meeting having heard with great satisfaction that Captain Pearce had resigned, beg leave to congratulate their fellow citizens on the event, and hope that those intrusted with the appointment of a successor will ex ercise great caution and prudence in filling up the situation." Mr. Allan M'Lean seconded the resolution, which after a few remarks from Mr. Peter Johnson, as to want of confidence in the magistrates, was unani mously adopted.—North British Mail. COAIPLETION OF THE LIVES OF THE QUEENS. — The 12th volume of Miss Strickland's •" Lives of the Queens of England," just published, concludes this truly national work, with an able historical memoir of the most popular of our Queens Regnant—Queen Anne. It is, as usual, composed in a great measure, of authentic manuscript materials, among which will be found many documents of great interest illustrative of the proceed ings of the Stuarts who had been deprived of the Crown, as well as those of the Royal Family at Hanover, on whom the succession had been settled by the nation. This life of the last of our female Sovereigns cannot fail of exciting especial attention at a period when the coun try again acknowledges the advantages of having a Queen on the Throne, and there can be little doubt that it will be pronounced one of the most entertaining volumes of a work which is allowed to have the strongest claim on public favour.—Evening Paper. THE Duc DE PRASLIN AGAIN.—The salons of Paris are filling fast again, and the causeries of those intrepid talkers who lounge on velvet sofas, or stand on bordered hearth-rugs, are no longer devoted wholly and ex clusively to politics of the hotel do Ville, or of the Gousernement I'rovisiore. Other subjects are now can vassed freely and gaily, as heretofore, and many and many the wild tale invented in the lively brains of our Parisians, whom the excitement of passing events renders even more imaginative than usual. One of the most favou rite of these is that of the retreat of Louis Philippe being with the Due do Praslin, who did not poison himself, as it was averred at the time, but was conveyed out of the Luxembourg in a coffin, and brought to England, where he now resides with hidlle, de Luzai, and laughs at all law, justice, and humanity, procurcurs de roi, and jealous wives.—Atlas. THE SURREY DISPENSARY.—The 71st annual fes tival of this excellent charity was celebrated yesterday at the Bridge House Hotel, Southwark. The Earl of Egmont, president of the institution, occupied the chair, supported by Mr. Sheriff Cubitt, and Mr. Sheriff Hill, Mr. Richard Baggallay, Mr. Charles Allen Young, Treasurer, the Rev. George Clayton. Mr. John Gait skell, and many other influential governors of the charity. The secretary in the course of the evening read a statement by which it appeared that nearly 4,500 patients had been admitted during the past year, of which 3,330 had been cured, and that nearly 250,000 patients had been admitted since the dispensary was established. It appeared, however, that the annual con tributions had so far declined during the last few years that the trustees had been compelled to sell a portion of the funded stock of the charity, which tkey were most anxious to replace. A list of donations and subscriptions was afterwards read by the Secretary, amounting to 366 L 45., including one from the chairman of 501; the Sheriffs, 101. 10s. each ; Mr. R. Baggallay, 101. 10s.; the Treasurer, Mr. C. A. Young, an annual subscription of 211.; and Mrs. Young, of Si. sc; and Mr. J. Ellis, an annual subscription of 201. The musical arrangements wore under the superintendence of Mr. Bruton, the cele brated comic vocalist, and Mr. Toole, as toastmaster, proved a worthy successor to his late father. ExTENsivs ROBBERY OF BANK-NOTES TO MN VALUE of 7001.—A most extensive robbery was com• mitted in Gloucester on Saturday night last. The pro secutor in this case, a Mr. John Bingham, i., we believe, a resident in 13irmitigham, and arrived in Gloucester on Saturday. On his arrival he adjourned to the New market Inn, near the stations of the Great Western and Bristol and Birmingham Railways, and from thence to the Roebuck Tavern. In the course of the evening he was in company with a woman named Caroline Mitchell, by whom it is alleged the notes were stolen. On the following morning the police succeeded in apprehending the accused, without, however, finding any of the stolen property in her possession. The lost notes consisted of four 1001. and six 50/. notes, and this sum, it is said, the prosecutor had received some days previously in Wilt shire. The accused stands remanded, in order to give the police time to trace, if possible, the missing notes, _ ~'~ rant l eard robo , and agis• child now ig in Iti pass sup• in• t in ;e of that hose oner ob ocs- bad bad finis- led dud ,out here the nto aid baC 9
