Yesterday a Monthly meeting of the directors of this excellent I,,astitution, was hold at the committee-room, Englis h . uPera•heuse, and we are happy to hear that it is in 11_ prosperous state. After having paid various sums with funeral expenses, and return payments to members, four annuitants, who receive 30/. per year each, their funded c a pi ta l amounts to 4,500/. The committee are g r atified in s t at i ng that Mr. Charles Kean has most nobly and kindly consented to preside at the next an nual dinner at the London Tavern, in April next (1849). Mr. Worrell eulogiz.d Mr. Cullenford, the secretary, for his zeal, perseverance, and industry in behalf of the in stitution, and although a pa id o ff i cer , h e did more than his duty, and when it was done, it was well done. This Iyas seconded by Mr. Morelli, and entered in the minute bok b y the chairman, Mr. Hughes. The business of the day being settled, the committee broke up. EXPENSIVE OvsTeas,--One day last week, when the jury empanelled to value certain premises for the 'vide -street Commissioners retired to their room to con sider their verdict they found a lunch of oysters spread for their use. Previous to leaving the jury-box thei agreed to mo ire a certa i n c l a i mant a part i cu l ar amount. They were just sitting down to their oysters, when a point was raised by counsel which result ed in the Re ?order recalling the jury. No sooner had they returned 10 to court th an t h e claimant slipped into the jury-room, and on th e j ury returning they found him swallowing their oysters, for which they punished him by docking iron:, the alnAunt of their ver di ct s s . f or eac h oyster h e had swallowed. On reckoning, they found seventeen shells emptied, and accordingly deducted 41.55. from their Intended award.-- Cork Constitution, THE BANKERS'. The number for the present month opens with a " Review of the recent Parliamentary Inquiry on the Commercial Distress of 1847," a continuation of the powerful article to which we last month directed the public attention. The evidence given by the chief supporters of the unjust and impolitic Act of 1844, Messrs. Norman, Jones Loyd, Cotton, and the Governor of the Bank of England, is examined and most ably commented on. " Letters to a Branch Manager" are continued. Thomas Bullion offers his shrewd suggestions, constituting, as he himself terms it, the " data wherewith to lay down upon the bank ing chart the rocks, shoals, and shallows which should be avoided in steering the branch towards the next dividend?' We have in " Gold as a Commodity Standard of Value," the observations of the Liverpool Currency Reform Association, and the reply of the Economist thereto ; " The Board of Trade Returns of Imports and Ex ports," a short but most interesting paper ; " The Effects of the Bank Acts on the Rate of Interest," and an excellent article on banking and commercial law, containing a summary of the law of inland bills of exchange and promissory notes. There is even more than the usual amount of information on various matters connected with 'trade or commerce, including the several financial statements of the railway com panies, that have been recently issued, making alto- The Commissioners of Sewers dined yesterday at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street; Mr. Deputy Pea cock, the chairman, presided, supported by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Sheriff Goodhart, Mr. Alde rman Copeland, M.P., Mr. Alderman Sidney, M.P., Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Masterman, M.l'., Mr. Pear son, M.P., Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Richard Lambert Jones, Messrs. Millard, Kemp, Lake, Belson, Evans, Toulmin, Smith, Corney, Daw, and a select party. After the usual toasts, the chairman, in proposing the health of Mr. Masterman and the Members of the House of Commons, spoke in high terms of the exertions of the Hon. Member in working through Par liament the Bill introduced by the city of London, for promoting sanitary regulations. Mr. Cubitt, in return ing thanks on his health being proposed, in conjunction with the healths of Messrs. Walker and Brunel (who were absent), stated that when the duty of inquiring into the sewers of the city of London devolved upon them, he had not the slightest conception that it would be found so practically complete as their survey had proved to be. The entertainment was in every respect equal to the character of the Albion. So rigorously is the presence of officers with their regiments enforced by the Duke of Wellington, that one of his own aides-de-camp, :Captain the Marquis of Worcester, 7th Hussars, is detached from his Grace's staff for the purpose of doing duty with his troop in Kilkenny. . - On Wednesday morning, the Chairman and several of the Directors of the Hull Dock Company, met Mr. Hudson and a deputation from the directors of the York and North Midland and York and Newcastle Railways, at the Old Station of the Hull and Selby Railway in this town, and had a rather long conference upon various matters affecting the interests both of the railway and the docks, and of importance to the trading community. We understand that amongst other matters mooted was that of increasing the facilities for the export of coals, upon which subject there was the must perfect unanimity of feeling and determination on the part of the Dock Company and the railway directors to give every pos sible facility teat the trade can require. Mr. Charles wind / mew had afterwards a short interview with Mr. the atidieletented that export of coals her© was likay to - in ease' very greatly. His object was to itupfesi upon MC Hudson the necessity of preparing for that increase;: but ivappeured that the railway companies needed nosispur on that subject. Coals are now being shipped directirom thorailway waggons into the Hum ber dock, dad also at the New Staid' on the Humber foreshore War Lib:le-kiln Creek, and further accommos dation is to be provided as soon as required. Amongst the gentlemen present at the above interviews were Sir John Simpson, Mr .Richardson, and Mr. Jennings, of York,•Mr. Harrison, the engineer of the York and New castleypsil 41 my,4lr.

The body of the unfortunate lady was identified by her sister, Mrs. Maria Gearing, and Mr. James Tolev, of Markham-street, Chelsea. It ap peared that the 'deceased had become very much reduced in circumstances, and that she had for some time past lodged in a small back room at No. 7, Robert -street, for which she paid the trifling rental of ss. per week. She was excessively proud in her poverty; and latt er ly con trived to live by the exercise of her talents in drawing, painting, and millinery. She had fallen into a few weeks' arrears of rent, and although her landlord did not appear to have pressed her, the circumstances evi dently took a deep hold upon her mind, and at l as t h er intellect became so deranged that she resolved upon the act of suicide, and unfort tuately accomplished it on Saturday evening, by swallowing the contents of two bottles of laudanum. On a paper on the table, near her bedside, were found the following heartrending words: —" God bless you all—remember me. Distress, disap pointment, wretchedness, and despair drive me to this unhappy end, and aro the cause of all,"—Verdict— Temporary Insanity. THE EDUCATION QuEsTioN.--Meetings of the clergy of Wakefield, Cuckfield, Abingdon, and other places, were held during the last week, when addresses to the bishops of the dioceses respectively were adopted, expressing strong disapprobation of the management clauses proposed by the Committee of Privy Council on Education, and a hope that the Right Rev. Prelates would find it consistent with their own opinions to op pose their imposition. It is generally believed amongst the clergy that the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the part of the National Society, will decline calling a meet ing of that body to consider the clauses, on the ground that the charter does not provide for the convention of a special meeting of the members. The requisition • for the meeting has received a great number of sig • Mures. Mr. Wm. CHANCE, jun., the Honorary Secretary, read the following report : — Your:committee beg to report that the society con tinues satisfactorily its course of usefulness. Fourteen hundred and thirty-two cases have attended at the rooms during the past year, of whom a large portion have been materially relieved, and a considerable number have entirely recovered their sense of hearing. Deafness to a greater or smaller degree is very common among the labourers of Birmingham, from the nature of their employment, and is to the sufferers a source of severe inconvenience and trouble. Until the establishment of this institution, no means of gratuitous relief was afforded, and the hard earnings of the poor were not unfrequently lost by their resorting to quacks, who left them in the same condition as before. By the experience of past years, it is found that a great majority of the cases in which the ear is affected are susceptible of relief ; and abundant testimony of the good effects of skilful and careful treatment may be had from the patients who have attended at this institution.- The devotion of your surgeon to the duties of his office deserves the high commendation of your committee, and they have again the pleasure of expressing the confidence they feel in his talents and attention." On the motion of Mr. Alderman BEALE, seconded by Mr. SARGANT, the report was unanimously adopted. On the motion of Mr. CHANCE, seconded by Mr. DUT TON, thanks were voted to Lord Ward, for his kindness in filling the office of president. Mr. SARGANT proposed a vote of thanks to the sur geon, Mr. Dutton, for his careful attention to the patients attending the institution, and for his valuable services during the past year. Mr. Sargant observed that on several occasions he had expressed his sense of Mr. Dui ton's merits, in language which he knew was painful to that gentleman's feelings, and were be to give utterance to his sentiments, he should again produce the same re sults. He might observe, however, that no man could exceed Mr. Dufton's zeal and assiduity in the perform ance of his duties. In fact, the whole institution was managed by him without exertion on the part of the officers, and no man could perform his duties better. Mr. CHANCE, jun., in seconding the resolution, observed . that he had several times had the pleasure of being present, when Mr. Dufton was attending upon the patients of the institution, and had always seen them treated with the greatest kindness. He had talked to them, and had heard from them the benefit they had received from his attention ; and altthough they were not a numerous meeting on that occasion, the good which had been done by the institution was not to be measured by the number of persons who had attended there. If any of the memb ers would like to judge for themselves of what was doing by the society, they. i would . be received with every co urtes y b y Mr. Dutton, it' they would attend at the rooms on the day when the . patients attended, and they wo uld re c eive entire satis faction as to the good which was being done through the agency of the sub s c ri p tions which they gave to the society. The MAYOR expressed the pleasure which ho felt in putting the resolut ion, and his conviction that the institution was doing a great amount of good. The officers and co mmittee having been appointed, thanks were voted to the Mayor, and the proceedings terminated.—Midland Counties Herald. DEATII or P R OFESSOR SAMUEL COOPE R , E.R.S . — This eminent surge on expired on the 3d instant, at his country residence, Shepperton. lie was the author of two of the best professional works of the day—the "Sur gical Dictionary," and " First Lines of Surgery." De. ceased was admitted a member of the ,College of Sur - gcons, of London, so long ago as 1803, and soon aft( r entered the army, and became staff-surgeon. In 1807 he obtained the Jacksonian prize for an elaborate trea tise on the joints; on the 26th of May, 1827, was elected a member of the council of the college; and in 1845 en joyed the hightest professional honour he could obtain —President of the College of Surgeons. Mr. Cooper was for seventeen years connected with the University College and hospital, and was a most popular teacher. The weather continues to be cold, ,ith occasional strong winds; and between Saturday night and yester day morning a sprinkling of snow fell all over the city. In the evening we had sever a l h ours of battering rain,. accompanied by heavy g us t s o f wind. The latter- con tinued during the night.—Caledonian Mercury. TITS WEATIIER.—We have had a week of vari able weather. At the commencement of the week the air was unusually mild, but on Thursday the temperature fell considerably, and the weather has since been damp, raw, and gloomy. Satu day was a day of frequent squalls, with hail and rain. During the night and the early hours of yesterday morning the weather was exceedingly boisterous, the wind coming in sudden and violent gusts, bringing tor rents of hail and rain. We have not heard of any disasters among the shipping on any of the coasts in our immediate neighbourhood, but several vessels which sailed hence on Friday were compelled, by the threaten ing indications of the atmosphere, to put back.—Liver pool Albion. Tll2 CHOLERA.—The returns of new cases here have for the last week been very variable. On Thurs day the number was 17—Friday, 12—Saturday, 6 yesterday, 13. The deaths during the four days, 28— recoverics, 6—remaining, 134. From Leith two cases were reported on Saturday; the patients whose recoveries had not been reported were all visited in the course of the week, w h en it was found that the number remaining was only six, to which is to be added the two above stated. It is therefore likely that almost all of those cases re ported as reme:nieg in Edinburgh are recovered. From the county there are, we are happy to say, few cases re ported. At Gilinerton, on Thursday, three new cases; at Loanhead on the same day, one case; at Dalkeith on Friday, one case, the individal having since recovered. — Caledonian Mercury. FAILURES IN Ln, - Enroon.—The number of firms which stopped payment in Liyerpool, during the panic of 1847, was 51, IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. 4.—The weather has been truly wintry 1 1 for the last few days. We have had frost and snow, rain and storm, all in rapid succession. The Dublin moun tains are covered with snow. The Belfast mail, due at 5 P.M. yesterday evening, owing to the depth of snow on the northern line of road, did not arrive at the Post-office until 10 o'clock last night. The mails from England have all been several hours after time, in consequence"of the storms. Their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon are expected at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park, this evening, on their re turn from his Excellency's seat, the Grove, at Watford, Herts. Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, C. 8., has arrived at the Richmond Barracks from leave of absence, and re sumed the command of the Queen's Royals. The Earl of Enniskillen, the Marquis of El y , M ervyn Archdall, Esq., M.P., and several other noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, are expected to spend the forth coming Christmas at their respective family seats in the county Fermanagh. A Dublin commercial statement for the past week re ports as follows:—" There has been rather a large amount of business done in produce, unaccompanied, however, in a single instance with improvement in price; indeed the uniformity with which every article either remains stationary or retrogrades is most remarkable. Most of the principal articles of commerce can be purchased on cheaper terms, although the stocks are not large, the consumption fair, and money easy. Credit is, however, very well supported, and it is satisfactory to have no failure either among the merchant or retail trade to re port, considering that the losses upon produce of every sort during the present year must hve been enormous. As for the last two or three weeks, we have again to report a slight advance in the price of Government securities, with a quiet market, and very limited amount of busi ness. The transactions in shares have not been either numerous or important, and prices generally are with out variation. The tendency of railway shares is, how ever, still downward, and they lose a little ground every week." The Lord Chancellor has set aside the commission of bankruptcy sued out against Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy. By the proceedings in the Court of Chancery on Satur day, it appears that the claim which Mr. Duffy disputed has been withdrawn, and the commission of bankruptcy superseded, and superseded at the cost of the person on Whose - affidavit it was issued. In sddi,tion to those already named, M es srs.

LIMERICK, SATURDAY.—The distinguished warrior( Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier, arrived in this:., city, and was entertained by his cousin, Major-General T. E. Napier, commanding the district, who had all the • staff and commanding officers of the garrison to meet him at dinner. On Thursday morning the Gallant General received some visitors at Cruise's, from whew, he departed at 11 o'clock, in company with his friend Captain Kennedy, R.E., to Newcastle-house, where he sojourned until this forenoon. At two o'clock the splendid regiments composing this garrison, Royal Horse Artillery, squadron King's Dra goon Guards, 3d, 470, and 92d, will be reviewed at the square of the new barrack. In the course of the day Sir Charles will receive depu tations from the Mayor, Magistrates, and Masonic Lodge, by whom congratulatory addresses were unanimously voted, to be presented to this most worthy personage, who is not only the conqueror, but the pacificator of Sinde, where his subsequent wise administration con verted a race of warlike and predatory tribes into indus trious and peaceable subjects. At seven o'clock the first banquet ever given by the united corps in the garrison of Limerick will be honoured by Sir Charles, accompanied by Major-General Napier. The chair will be filled by Colonel Cox, the Quartermas ter-General of this district, senior officer, and who has distinguished himself in many a well-fought battle. Upwards of eighty will grace this martial board. It is much to be regretted that the Gallant General cannot avail himself of the many festive and hospitable testimonials intended for him, as we understand he de parts to-morrow for Dublin. The following congratulatory address was presented this day to Lieutenant-General Sir Charles J. Napier, G.C.8., Colonel of the 22d Regiment : • ' " We, the Mayor, Magistrates, and High Sheriff of the city of Limerick, gladly avail ourselves of the unexpected visit of the gallant and distinguished Sir:Charles Napier, hero of Sinde, to congratulate him on his ar rival in this ancient city, and to express the gratification we feel at the victorious results of his late arduous campaigns in India, when, in command of the British troops, be so successfully achieved a noble and memorable conquest which has shed additional lustre on the bravery and attachment of her Majesty's troops, and evidenced the high martial attainments of their chi valrous and courageous general.

TYE BRECON MUIDER.—On Monday er l given:of the m ur d a er s , t T a ho m m an as answering the descripti on Williams, and who on being interrogated as to the mode of his arrival in this town and his previous occupation prevaricated considerably, wasi taken into custody an d , detained until communication could be had with the authorities in Brecon. He evidently pretends to be an Irishman, and gives the name of Jerry Maloney; but the account he readers of himself is so extremely unsatisfac tory as fully to justify his detention, even supposing him not to be the party for whose apprehension a large re ward has been offered. Yesterday evening, however, a reply was received from Brecon, and Maloney was dis charged from custody, he not having a scar on the left cheek, which the alleged murderer is marked with.— Welcianan.
