Her Majesty being seated, the following corale, the music of which was composed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, was performed : " In life's gay morn, ere sprightly youth By vice and folly is enslaved, — Oh ! may thy Maker's glorious name Bo on thy infant mind engraved. So shall no shades of sorrow cloud The sunshine of thy early days — But happiness, in endless round, Shall still encompass all thy ways." This corale was performed by her Majesty's private band (under the direction of Mr. Anderson), and the boys and gentlemen of the Chapel Royal. .iess Prince Albert, conducted the Infant Prin cess into the chapel. The Royal Infant was dressed in a robe of Honiton lace over white satin, and was attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Her Royal Highness was carried by the head nurse. The Baptismal Service then commenced, and was performed most impressively by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Queen Dowager made the responses on the part of the illustrious sponsors, and on his Grace asking the name of the child, her named the Pri ncess " L ou i sa Caroline Alberta. " The solemn an d i nteresting service being com pleted, th e P r i ncess L ouisa was carried from the chapel. A very fine compos i t i on was then performed—viz., a grand ch orus — Majesty "Hosanna to the God of Israel, In Him rejoice —declare his praise: Exalt his name for evermore."

A detachment of the Foot Guards, with the band of their regiment, mounted as a guard of honour in front of the Palace. The Queen gave a state banquet in the Picture Gallery in honour of the occasion. The table was covered with the massive and costly service of gold plate, having interspersed among the epergnes and candelabra a number of reduced copies of the Warwick vase, filled with the choicest plants in flower. On the buffet at the south end of the gallery were arranged a number of the more valuable and inte resting articles of plate from the royal treasury, enriched with elaborate carvings in ivory, medallions, and precious stones. At eight o'clock the Queen was conducted by the Lord Steward and the Lord Chamberlain to the banquet in the Picture Gallery, accompanied by the Royal Family, the Foreign Ministers, the Cabinet Ministers, and the other Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance at the ceremonial, the ilitary band on duty playing " God save the Queen" on the entrance of the august party.

The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated. Her Majesty inspected an engraving of Admiral Sir Charles Napier, from a portrait by Mr. Joy, which was submitt e d b y Mr. H. Meesom, on Friday. The following was her Majesty's answer to the address of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London, presented on Friday : " I have received with the greatest satisfaction your loyal and dutiful address, and I am very sensible of the affectionate interest which you have expressed in my domestic happiness. " I rely with the most entire confidence on the loyalty and attachment of the city of London. " I can receive no higher gratification than to be assured of the affection of my People, whose constitu tional rights and liberties it is my constant desire to maintain, and with whose happiness my own is inse parably connected." The following was her Majesty's answer to the address of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, presented on the same day : " I have received your dutiful and affectionate address with feelings of the high es t sat i sfaction. " I warmly appreciate th e many gratifying proofs of the loyalty of the citizens o f y our ancient city , an d of their firm attachment to th e principles of the British constitution. " It is my earnest desire to reign in the affections of my people and to uphold, and strengthen the free insti tutions which this country has long enjoyed, and which I feel to be the surest foundation of its happiness and prosperity."

The report was adopted. ARLIAMENTARY FEES. ,On Saturday a numerous m ee ti ng o f the bar took place in the Old Hall, Lincoln's-inn, convened by the Atto rney -General to take into consideration certain matters. relating to P ar li amentary fees. he ATTORNET•GENERAL took the chair, and stated that h e h ad been induced to call the present meeting from the following circumstances. It appeared that a resolution had been come to by man y o f t h e barristers practisi ng at the Parliamentary bar not to take any anybr briefs f f s e f e r s o remaining companies or other person s w h e r e there were unpaid to oth er counse l upon pre vious b us i ness transacted on behalf of such clients. That in consequence of this resolution one of the Queen's counsel practising at that bar had felt it is duty to de cline taking a brief which had been offered him by a particular companyandatthe sam e ti me h e h ad sol i c i te d jhis (the Attorney-General's) ustified in taking such aproceedi ng . Hi s answer was, that he did not consider it was competent for the Learned Gentleman to refuse a brief when offered to him, under the particular circumstances of the case. He had then been requested to attend a meeting of the Par liamentary counsel upon the subject ; he h a d d one so, but in consequ ence of certain resolutions then ab ou t t o be proposed, he h a d f eared thathe might be compromis ing the general opinion of the bar , and had, therefore, suggested that another and larger meeting of barristers should be convened. The s e cond meeting also took place, but as very few members of the bar had assembled, the he had considered it b e t ter again to adjournmeet ing,t in order that mor e p u bli c i ty might be given te, h profession, and he had th ere f ore called a general meete ing, and he was happy to see so large an attendance upon this occasion. Having now explained his reasons for calling the bar together, he would request Mr. Hill, as the senior member present, to move such resolutions as he might think fit. Mr. HILL then rose and said that, in consequence of the difficulty arising in respect of business transacted at the Parliamentary bar, the leading members who prac tised there had come to a resolution to direct theirclerks not to take any briefs unless the fees which had become due in the previous session had all been paid. The ob- ject of this resolution was, that the barristers might protect themselves against the improper course which had been taken by various parties in omitting to pay their fees that had become justly due. He considered this a most proper and wholesome rule, and calculated to raise the character of the profession, and he thought that any members of the bar who had signed this reso lution were justified in refusing to take any brief from persons who had omitted to pay their fees. He should, therefore, move first, that it was the opinion of this meeting that it was competent for the barristers to enter into the resolution which they had done; and, secondly, that it was as competent for any member of the bar, who had signed that resolution, to exercise his judg ment in refusing to take a brief offered to him where the fees had not been so paid. The SOLICITOR-GENZAAL, in addressing the meeting, said he had consulted with very many of his friends-- chiefly those who practised at the Chancery bar—as to the propriety of the present proceeding, and he was ex pressing the feelings of all with whom he had spoken that these resolutions were most objectionable. He dis approved altogether of a meeting of the bar for consider ing a question solely relating to the way in which fees were to be taken. The gentlemen who complained had the remedy in their own hands; the rule of the bar had always been that no brief should be taken unless the fees were paid upon it, and if any section of the bar thought fit to deviate from that principle, either for the convenience of themselves or their clients, they ought to bear the responsibility of their conduct. Another rule of the bar was, that no barrister could refuse to take a brief except under peculiar circumstances. He did not think that the present case was one which justified a departure from that general rule. It was altogether contrary to the dignity of the bar that a combination should be made for the purpose of forming a rule as to how the payment of fees should be regulated. If this were allowed there would soon be a combination for refusing fees under a particular amount, and various other resolutions which would be quite inconsistent with that high character which the bar of England had always maintained. It was his intention, previously to entering the hall, to have moved resolutions expressive of his disapprobation of the purposes for which the meeting had been called, but since the commencement of the proceedings he had altered his mind, and, with the concurrence of a great many of his friends, he would simply move a resolution in the negative, that it is not competent for the members of the bar to refuse to take briefs where the fees previously incurred to other mem bers of the bar have not been paid, and that it is not competent for any member of the bar who shall have signed such resolution to act in accordance with it. Mr. TALBOT then addressed the meeting, and said it would be necessary for him in some measure to explain the nature of the proceedings in Parliamentary practice, as lie had no doubt there were many gentlemen present who were unaware of flre. 40ference which existed between that pTilaticelftierny ()fifer. It was impossible, he said, to carry out the general rule as to the pre-pay ment of fees. It was out of the question to calculate beforehand the length of time which the business might occupy, or the quantum of labour that might have to be expended upon it. The practice had, therefore, grown up of allowing a certain time after the conclusion of the business for the payment of tees. This leniency, he was sorry to say, had been greatly abused, and it was not an uncommon thing for the solicitors or Parliamentary agents absolutely to refuse payment of the fees, and then to take their papers to another barrister, and the same course might then be repeated. It was in consequence of such constant occurrences that the resolution had been come to by which the section of the profession practising at the Parliamentary bar de termined not to receive briefs unless all fees to counsal who had been previously engaged were paid up before the commencement of the following session. In the present instance he had received a brief from a well known company, the fee upon which was paid ; but immediately afterwards circumstances had come to his knowledge which induced him to make inquiries, and he had considered it his duty, having himself signed the resolution not to take briefs where the previous fees re mained due, to refuse this brief. He had subsequently asked the opinion of the Attorney-General, who had differed with him, He begged further to state, that whether he had acted right or wrong, he was only ac tuated by a strict sense of honour and upright con duct, and had taken the course he had done solely with a view of supporting the dignity of the bar, and carry ing out those resolutions which he considered for the general benefit of the barrister practising with him. Sir F. TnESIGER then came forward, and said he could neither support the resolutions proposed by Mr. Hill, nor could he consent to the negative resolution moved by the Solicitor- Gen e r a l. Hi s opinion was, that this was not a subject whi c h ca ll e d for any interference on the part of the bar. It was the duty of each barrister to act as he thought m os t i n accordance with the f of honour and propri e ty, an d not to call upon the e b e a l r ng to s give any expressi o n o f op i n i on upon the subject. If this were to be done upon every occasion, the bar w ou ld h ave to decide all cont este d points upon each individ ua l case of hardship whi c h any member might wish to b e brought move forward. H e s h ou l d, therefore, thewhat in Parlia mentary proce e di ngs would be calledprevious ques tion, the effect of which would be, in fact, that no resolutions whatever should be proposed. Mr. COLBURN then came forward, and with much warmth of manner defended the conduct which had been pursued by the members of the bar practising in the Parliamentary Committees. lie would, therefore, move an amendment, to the effect, " That it was competent for a barrister, if ho thought fit, to refuse any brief that was offered to him." After some further discussion the amendment of Mr. Colburn was negatived by a large majority. Sir Frederic Thesiger's amendment was also negatived, and upon the resolutions being put the meeting decided in favour of the Solicitor-General's resolution, in opposition to the resolutions proposed by Mr. Hill, almost unanimously, there having been not more than twenty hands held up in their favour. D- EATSI OF DR. Dula, R.N.—lt is with much regret that we announce this week the demise of this most respectable townsman. The Doctor had been complaining for some little time past, but not so seriously as to create any alarm in the minds of his friends till the day before his death, when he sunk most rapidly, expir ing on the morning of Saturday last of a disease which originated in a tumour on his back, but at last termi• nated in a fatal attack of pleurisy. The Doctor had for many years retired from active service, and had, from his unobtrusive habits and quiet gentlemanly demeanour, endeared himself to a large circle of acquaintances in Montrose. He early entered the - navy, and we believe was a surgeon of 1810 standing. He enjoyed a number of very useful and ho nou r a bl e appointments in the navy, but he was peculiarly proud of having been appointed surgeon to the first expedition to the North Pole, under Capt. Bu chan, to which he often referred with a degree of pleasure, although he nearly lost his life in that expedition from an accidental wound which he received in the knee from a companion while shooting bears on the ice. One of his last appointments was as surgeon to one of the royal yachts, and he also had in his offer the appointment of surgeon to the Woolwich Dockyard, one of the best in the service; but this he refused, preferring to spend his declining years as a comfort to his aged mother, now 95, and amongst the society of his native town, wh ere he was much respected, and where his death will be deeply and justly deplored. His afflicted and only brother, Sir James Duke, M.P., has arrived in town to attend the funeral.—Montrose Standard. Notwithstanding the exertions which have been made, and the reward offered, no eluo has as yet b een obtained to lead to the discovery of the parties who robbed the safe of the Wilts and Dorset Bank, Chippeo. ham, on the :20th or 21st ult., when property t o the amount of upwards of 6,0001., chiefly in notes of the branch, was stolen, besides other papers of considerable value. On searching the premises behind the bank, the cash-box was found in the water-closet, with its contents gone, excepting some papers which would have been of no use to the thieves. The lid of the box appeared to have been forced open with a chisel. A bag of gold, to the amount, it is stated, of between 1,0001. and 2,000/., was left in the safe, the parties appearing to prefer notes to gold, contrary to what is usually the ease. —Bristol Mercury. BRADFORD REFORM ASSOL Sir,—On Wednesday, the 10th, the Horsham Borough Bill was advanced a stage. The war against the convicted boroughs appears hitherto to be suc cessful. It is a sad thing for a borough to live to be convicted. On Thursday, Horsham again. The attempt to issue a new writ was resisted by 167 votes against 73. On the same night the Alien Bill was read a third time and passed. In spite of the small number that ultimately voted against them, the Government had the air of men who had no pride in their performance. They might be believed to feel conscious that the measure was forced on them from a hostile quarter, and that the time when there was any excuse for it was passed. It was a panic after the panic was over ; or, as my old constituents of Hull would have better understood me than you, it was taking in sail after the squall was gone by. But what is the use of the forms which interpose delay between the conception of tion of it, if mischievous measures aarleawt-eagnedetnhemaedroeply because they have been begu th n admitted the high probabilityer that they The should Government ne s use the law at all ; and gentlemen of easy dispositions took this for a reason why they should have the law.

In this manner it is, that your honest interests go to wreck. You cannot have the chances of carrying on your trade with foreign countries in peace and harmony, because gentlemen who trade in nothing, cannot abide the sight of a man with a beard.

And the open door that is before than this moment, is to obtain more Power for the e e l you at of whom, bating seasons of occasional exasncersastsieos, which it is to be hoped better knowledge would make n rarer, you are the natural heads and leaders, and whose exaltation is in the eyes of all sensible men your exaltation, and as such will be resi s t e d b y your anti-commercial adversaries, who are quite able to perceive the connexion between the things. And this leads me (though somewhat irregularly in point of time) to observe that I have just been shown Mr. Hume's notice, as given in the Proceedings of the douse of Commons on Friday; which I did not pre viously know to have appeared in print. Ido not think the public will be contented with it ; and I do not think the main point in question was ever fairly decided or debated at all. And that main point, it may be as well to state, I conceive to have been whether Household Suffrage was the thing for which the "Fifty-one" should agree to raise the flag. There were many who thought, that in the actual posture of affairs, it was as important not to be below the pitch of public opinion, as not to be above it ; and who did believe, that to raise the banner for Household Suffrage, was at all events mat ter for grave deliberation, and to be determined only after serious consideration of the important classes who may be viewed as pledged to take fire at such an announcement. It is no answer to say, that the classes in possession of electoral power would like it better. It is quite true that what is done must be done through the intervention of those who have power, and not of those who have it not. But the middle classes, who possess tke greatest share of elec toral power at this moment, would act very diffe rently if merely asked to please themselves, and if urged to do the most, instead of the least, for the attainment of the genzial safety. The ques tion is not of what the micpile classes would like to do of their own mere motion, but of what they can be got to do when urged -to the utmost by the pressure of other clasststs and the conscious necessity of doing something to secure their friend ship. In this view there is no use in concealing, and on the contrary very great use in avowing, that there was and is a very strong party, so strong that nothing but a distinct trial of numbers can decide whether it is a minority or not, who thought some thing that was not Household Suffrage would have had a better chance of producing the adhesion which promises success. And the thing so thought of, was with more,or less distinctness described under the terms of Registered or Residential Suffrage ; im plying the giving the vote to all men of full age !ice., who should have been registered as the occupants of some fixed residence, for the term (for example) of one year. It is undeniable that there are large masses in this country, who would be disposed to adhere to a proposal for a suf frage of this nature, but who, from foregone deter minations or other causes, would fly off upon the mention of Household Suffrage ; and the fact will not be altered, by any special pleading on the question of whether a residence is not a house, and whether any suffrage connected with residence may not be con scientiously brought within the phrase of " house hold suffrage" if a man likes. The question is not how far conscience may be stretched if a man wishes it, but of what are the ideas and feelings that will be raised in men's minds by words which we employ. All this, I maintain, ought to have been made the subject of the gravest and most serious consideration. Grave and serious consideration does not imply that it should be a twelvemonth doing; but it does imply that men should know the time when their decision is made, and that it should not be done for them by a side wind. Now what happened was simply this. Question was asked, whether there was any indivi dual present who scrupled to go as far as Household Suffrage ? As might be expected, everybody zea lously said " No. To which the rejoinder was, " Then let it be written down, that the meeting was unanimously in favour of Household Suffrage, and let it be inserted in Mr. Hume's motion accordingly." I mean this fur history. It would not be right to allow an important question to be passed over in this manner, and men be compromised with their con stituents by what will be understood from the publi cation that " the utmost unanimity prevailed." Now, was there ever such an invention for securing the adoption of a minimum 7 To taxe a parallel,—in which, whatever may be the difference of absolute magnitudes, there is a certain degree of resemblance, inasmu c h as i n both cases men in possession of a cer tain portion of public confidence were assembled to try to hit the highest measure of public utility in anxious times,—let it be supposed that when the Pro visional Government in Paris was called on to pro pose something round which men's minds might gather and unite, somebody had begun by asking, Is there any gentleman present who disputes that the Reform Banquet was a proper thing, and o ught to ha ve gone f o r w ard ?" A n d on is being answered as it must have been, imagine the recording officer desired to take his pen, and write down that the Provisional Government de clared for the Reform Banquet. This would only have been a s •of the followed specimen Could it have been believed, that any birds would fall into such a snare ? yet, in pure self-protection I s ay it, among many who were like anything but cock-sparrows, I could find none it was practicable to convince, that they were virtually declaring that the meeting fixed on Household Suffrage as its mark, and this without going into any statement or comparison of the reasons there might be for or against something else instead. In all this do not let me be understood as main taining, that there might not have finally been found reasons for deciding on declaring that Household Suffrage was the thing for which the banner should be raised. This would have justly come under the decision of a majority of votes, and the or di nary o bli gat i on o f m i nor iti es to submit to the majority. But what I am obliged to maintain is, that the reasons were never stated, never produced, never considered, never weighed, never taken into account, never brought into court,—that the judg ment was negative, not positive,—that of hunting for what it would be wisest to do, search was made for something that none would be so foolish as to refuse, and this was put forward as the fine gold found at 'the bottom of the crucible. Not that I see any cause for anxiety, though in everything there may he a better course and a worse. Nobody, by either well or ill-doing, will stop the progress of events, any more than Mrs. Partington could keep the tide out with her broom. But I should like it to be understood by those it may concern, that I was not art and part in any proceedings, for the good reason, that as regards the main point, there were no proceedings at all. There was no weighing, no reference to opinions in the country, no question asked, no voting except on the inquiry whether there was any insane person there who objected to going as far as household • ^ ,•r • • • • _ otT. \ ; .• -‘% ..; -404' , it t 4ge 4 1; • ' °l7 368.] LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. 1 0 , TIT MAY 15, 1848.

The principles of the llygeian theory are contained in the follow ing propositions :- 1. The vital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. &. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper ♦egetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. B. Kaperience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINES to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From th hatimate connexion subsisting between mind and ►edy, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. A A G- E. One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on comprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but tor the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth al the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys its power 3n the system. This important part of the Work should be read by every Voting Man entering into life. _ .

This was the meal-worm by which all our nightingales were caught. Ido not object to the judgment; I object that there was no judgment. I object that there was not even the civil form of asking what wine we liked, and giving us the chance of saying " Port if you please." Somebody or everybody came down with a foregone conclusion that household suf. frage and nothing else was to be heard of; and it was done accordingly. On which my counsel is, to all in the country who think something else ought to have had a hearing, that they should consider the determina tion as one in which nothing has been determined, and lift up their voices to the extent of their ability, in favour of what in their consciences they may think useful and right, without being daunted by any attempt of Mrs. Partington to interpose her household-suffrage broom. It strikes me, on consideration, that the plan must have been that everybody was to throw dust in the eyes of everybody. Which is so like some of the commercial fallacies we have heard of, that an old Leaguer may be presumed to feel at home. The timid andottahoehseooldn the frosty side of mod era ti on , were to be comforted by saying to them, " You see we only go to u Suffrage." And the energetic and the discontented were to be told in a whisper, that Houselibld Suffrage might mean anything, and was intended so to do. No good ever comes of this kind of double strings to a bow. The pith of the matter is, that Household Suffrage, right or wrong, is to large classes a word of fear and hate, and that there (might have been something else which would not, and that it is better to win under a downright, honest name, than to lose under a double oas. On Thursday I became acquainted with a fact, which if it happened earlier had escaped my notice. the Government have struck out of the Health of Towns Bill the two paid commissioners. Now would there be any use in your putting forward a request, that instead of this you might be allowed to pay them twice over ? because, if there would, I am ready to make your proposal. Be assured it would be a most economical arrangement ; and equally so whether you expect good from the Bill or harm. If you expect good, the unpaid commissioners will do you less good; and if harm, they will do you more harm. An unpaid com missioner, or unpaid anything else, is only another term for a man who is to do his own work and not yours. Have you any unpaid commissioners in your warehouses ? If you were my old constituents of Hull, of whom I often feel a tender recollection in consequence of the community of early associations, I should refer you to the celebrated story of the Scottish sailor, who would not stand for high wages because "he should be aye picking up something about the decks." This is the theory everywhere of unpaid labourers. Some of them decline being paid now, because they expect to be paid twice over in some future way ; and some because they wish to diminish the odium of having been paid twice over in times that are past. But all of them reckon on being paid either in meal or in malt ; and, as well you know, they compass it. On Friday came on the motion for a Select Com mittee on the complaints against the interference of withh i the M arqu i s of Exeter at Stamford. The Prime Ministerand gave a cold assent. Sir Robert Peel rose, w e o l n ie tri tha a t bil i i t ty wo c u a l r d rie b d e e o v f er ybod . y with n h into s a b infinite ill consequ ence, eic particularly for mi nor iti es lik e th e Radical s , t o before extraordinaornratgieb the bringin g o f comp l a i nts ful provision of tribunalsrunsoals, free when there was care f from suspicion of undue influence as Electione Committees.

His motion was carried by 178 against 177. There perhaps was hardly aver an instance, where the ex( rtion of an individual Member turned a corner so closely. I cannot help making an observation in this place. There are a great many rising new men in the present House on the Liberal side, and a very large propor tion of them are lawyers. I think I see a parallel and an explanation. Something of the same kind was observable during the civil wars and under the Com monwealth. The explanation is, that the times were serious, and lawyers are used to deal with serious things. The days are gone by, when men were ruled by glitter, and government was a mysterious mono. poly. We want to he governed by the same ap proaches to reason, which determine whether Richard Styles or John Nokes has a right of way ; and the men who are used to such exercises, rise in the scale of importance accordingly.

DEATH or LORD ASIIBURTON.—This venerable and muc h -distinguished nobleman expired et three o'clock on Friday morning, at Longleat, Warminster, Wilts, the seat of his youthful grandson, the Marquis of Bath, in the 75th year of his 'age; having survived scarcely a fortnight his brothers, Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., and Henry Baring, Esq.

The deceased, Alex ander Baring, Baron Ashburton, of Ashburton, in the county of Devon, was born October 27, 1774, being the second son of Sir Francis Baring, Bart,, by the daughter of William Herring, Esq. The deceased was married to an American lady, Anne Louisa, eldest daughter of William Bingham, Esq.. of Philadelphia. The issue of this marriage, which took place in 1798, was nine children, viz., five sons and four daughters. The eldest, William Bingham, late Paymaster-General, M.P. for Thetford, succeeds to the title and estates. His third daughter is the Dowager Marchioness of Bath. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.—This society held their anniversary meeting on Saturday, in their new house in Burlington-street, under the presidency of their learned director, Professor Wilson, in the absence of the Noble President, the Earl of Auckland, who was under stood to be prevented from presiding by his official duties. The annual report of the council congratulated the society on their having obtained a larger and more eligible house, and on the prospects of increased efficiency in carrying out the objects of the institution. It was understood that the facilities afforded by the new locality would induce qualified members to give occasional evening lectures on interesting subjects, which la.ad occupied their attention during their residence in Oka East % /
