LIAM who are professionally conversant with the condition ef oar .4 "Pltuis complain of the inadequate supply of well - trained nurses a s t in evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du "' They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults ef those on Wheat, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely de,en r!an; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charste !.3 of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral Ac the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they 1.. " 170 while in the hospital. . It is a l so matter of genera l no t o riety that great difficulty is found IL! obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private especially in those el the middle and lower classes; and troehial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom a dministering could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes , and ' o cdaistering to their bodily wants. The ntost effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these r i ls. Is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look irk their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of its f- oontrol, and with a mind understanding it fully , and prepared for The and painful duties. i„ ' o e want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of Is ' r uorts devoting themselves te visiting the sick exist in Roman Cat holic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been tOund Useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of l ' r °feasional muses has worked beneficiaily in England. The Insti -1 ' lti on which it is proposed to found under the na me of " Trainin g natituUon for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline .f the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, ) t by selecting the self-devoted few who are perm i t t ed b y freedom fr om other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by eltdea- L‘Wing Is act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body el r aise who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. Te." _ue the character of the class by elTering to its members a training wkich shall qnalify them ter their professional work, and be at the rene time essentially a religious training ; to hold out , te those who justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions' Position titan they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to m oss who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give ;!letaselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field f r n b , )ur : theme are the means which, as they have been successful forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng ird, may, It is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing , . raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of 41 Provement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of inland and Ireland, as Master. T hat the inmates of the Institution should cons i s t of three `ante 1 . Those ulster training as probationers. 2 . Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa 14faeterily, are admitted as nurses, on cond ition of their en g a g in g 0 continue In connexion with the Institution for a period of five Year& from their admission. Daring this period th e y will be clothed .... maintained, and resolve a fixed annual stipend, and in return Will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In 'Una!". At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from all e Institution a certificate of their qualification as Nurses, and I ll eticeforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the ,Putitution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually rai ling the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi itfe el will necessarily occupy a higher position than others , will be Y to set an example whieh can scareely fail to have a good effect mllon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, te follow in the same course, and submit them seh'es to the training of this Institution. 3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in l'unded te comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are Will ing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and Poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like that which s% ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council or twenty-four members, (exclusive c f the master, who will be cx officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England arid Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own b ody. A donation of flftyguineas in one payment, or in several payments 'within four years, sr an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governer. A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay- Items within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, Will constitute a Donor.

The objects of this Company are to carry ea mining, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, sad the acquiring and disposing of lands in the Island of Labuan and the parts adjacent —a region Abounding in mineral wealth, most fertile in all the vain aine tropical productions, and ♦ery happily situate ler the purposes K commerce. _ I lie Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of Borneo, many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Piracy in tke eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed, and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuau, a new era as regards those regions, has commenced, which affords the most fa vourable opportunity for successfully accomplishing the objects of this Company. To those who are at all acquainted with the Indian Archipelago, it is wholly unnecessary te expatiate on the advantages te be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of au abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a circumstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. at formal grant of this coal, extending through a district ef about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan ef Borneo, and is, with the approval of her liajcsty's Geverument, now held by Mr. Wise, witk whom arrange ❑rents for its working will be made. The working of the coal mines will form an Important feature in the operations of the Company, The geographical position of the Borneo coal districts In relation to our Eastern possessions, awl to the steam communications which are now carried on, and others which are about te be carried on in con nexion therewith, is a matter ef peculiar interest, and even of na tional importance. Tke Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more than 130,0001. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum aboat 90,0001. are ex pended in coal used to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. This coal. as well as the requisite supplies for the steam-vessels of her Majesty's navy, and for these of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furnished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the es perailture by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Company. and the Peuinsular and Oriental Company for the sin gle item of coal, will be considerably reduced as soon as the opera tions of the Eastern Archipelago Company are sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at Hong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the many British and Foreign 111.0... m-vessels re-orting to those ports. The certain increase In the consumption ef coal in the eastern seas, from the causes already mentioned, and the opening of other channels of demand, cannot fail eventually to augment the use of Borneo coal. The projected steam communication between Singapore and our Australiaa colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments te the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of America—as well as the system of railways now about to be esta blished in India—are events eminently calculated to occasion an immense consumption of Borneo coal, the more se as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and B rneo coal have been brought over to this country by Mr. Wise, and submitted by her Majesty's Government to a careful examination and analysis by competent parties, with a most satisfactory result. The Borneo coal has also been pronounced by the Calcutta • eel Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wallage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the seam at La.butm, for the use of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—" 1 have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at l.abuan is equal te any English coal I have seen on board steamers in India, and decidedly better than any coal worked in India for steam purposes." The portion of territory contemplated for the first operations of the Eastern Archipelago Company possesses a climate aid soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other ♦aluable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage ef Labuan, now su'Ject te British dominion, as a point d'appui ; nor can there be a doubt of the excellent position of the proposed field of enterprise for an ex tensive and lucrative commerce. The proximity of Java, Sumatra, Siam, Cochin-China, Hainan, Manilla, Celebes, Ste., is net only of great importance in this respect, but also as itEording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other code mists, and labourers to any extent required fur the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of our eastern settlements, trots Penang, Malacca, and Siniapore to /long Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted ►y Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti cl ation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre seut Company, will change that which has been heretofore a region of piracy, lawless violence, danger and desolation, into a scene of busy, peaceful, and beneficial commerce; bringing the advantages of progressive civilisation to a large and fertile tract of the globe, and conferring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britala. The philanthropist and the statesman, as well as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the win-- dote and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, among whom there exists a disposition most favourable to the development cf the resources of those countries. . _ _ The view here taken of the promising character of the undertak ing is not hypothetical, but is the result of the arduous personal re searches of various individuals, wko, in times past, have been de sirous of widening the circle of commerce and civilization, and, among others more recently, of Mr. Wise, who has tor several years devoted his time to the closest investigation of the subject. To his patient and indefatigable perseverance for a long period in calling the attention of her Majesty's Government to the Importance of Labuan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the fact, that the protection of our flag is now extended to countries so important both in a political and commercial point of view. The Queen has appointed Mr. Brooke Governor and C. mmander in-Chief in and over the Island of Labuan and its dependencies, as well as her Majesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs if Borneo. These measures, and the course of polity which they indicate, will materially facilitate and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chipelago. The Company being incorporated by Royal Charter, the responsi bility of each shareholder is limited to the amount of his subscrip tion. The charter provides for the execution by the shareholders of a Deed of Settlement, to be approved by the President of the Board of Trade. Power is given In the Charter to augment the amount of capital of the Corporation, if that course should become expedient. 51. per share to be paid on the allotment of the shares, and the re mainder to be paid by instalments as called for by the Directors. 1 he affairs of the Company Are to be managed by a Court of Directors of net more than twelve, two Managing Directors, and a Secretary, and such agents, in Labuan or elsewhere, as the Directors shall n,minate ; the Directors and Auditors to be elected by the shareholders, as provided by the Deed of Settlement.

Could the veil, which covers the origin of demesne wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many ceeld vibe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant slisap zolntmeuts.

The particular excesses. on Jai nature and censoeuence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, sre productive ei greater severity of misery to the haiku frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an acc,arate and complete account of tie Auateinv and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and if their relative coedit:win la health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance tkan the preservation of the health, aud of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the nikappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life er from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trotu their invariable colu3equences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread se frequently, bit erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict his and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it *an be procared. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrinainatien is ascertaining the causes at usease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all. seere 4 Y , lava nably characterise the intelligent aid practical physician, and to the :aedical !flan whe can show by his posse•slion of the requisite legal qualifeetions that he is entitled to esteem and respect is his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence she'd/ be extended.

[Anvairriszuervr.]—The efficiency of Holloway':-; Pills, in the cure of confirmed Asthma, as instanced in the case of Mr. Henry Fluke, of Killilea, who had been s filleted with this most distressing complaint for more than seven years, during which period he had tried almost every variety of medicine, without obtaining the least relief ; in fact, he continued to get worse, until he took Holloway's Pills, which inestimable medicine soon restored him to robust health and the enjoyment of the most perfect freedom in breathing. These pills are a never-failing remedy for old coughs, colds, and all dis eases of the chest and lungs, whether the patient be young or aged. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand. Guyamas was taken by the American forces on the 20th of October, after a bombardment of forty minutes. Orizaba had fallen, having been taken by Colonel Lane and 500 cavalry. The Americans held quiet possession. The all-absorbing topic at New York was the election of President, in the room of Mr. Polk. The election was to commence on the 22d. The Hibernia arrived at New York on the even ing of the 16th of February, having put into Halifax on the 13th. The bill authorising the President to raise a loan on the credit of the Government, to the amount of 16,000,000 of dollars, has passed the House of Repre sentatives, the expense of raising the loan being re• stricted to 6,000 dollars. A bill for raising ten additional regiments for ser vice in Mexico is still under discussion. the ship fever continues in almost unabated severity, and has recently made its appearance at New Orleans. The hospitals of New York and Quarantine are full of sick, and several eminent physicians and public officers have lost their lives while attending to the wants of their patients. A line of steam-ships between Philadelphia and Charleston was to commence running on the 19th of February. Nothing indicating immediate peace with Mexico has transpired. TALE OF LAMPS-FIFTY PER CENT.

The dates from Vera Crux are to the 29th January. The accounts and prospects of peace there were very contradictory. Orizaba had been captured by Colonel Lano, at the head of 500 cavalry, and was hold by the Americans in quiet possession. It is a city of some note, command ing one of the only two roads from Mexico to Vera Cruz. Colon€l M'Clelland had started from Vera Cruz with :300 men, to follow up the Orizaba road, in search of 4uerillas, who were reported to be swarming in large [lumbers. At Queretaro there was not a quorum of Congress in attendance. Pena y Pena has succeeded Anaya as President. Rumours were afloat that Mr. Trist had been in con ference with the Mexican Commissioners again, and that ,ertitin terms were agreed upon, but nothing authentic is known •f what they were. Colonel Hays, with 100 Rangers and a few volunteers, reached Teotihuacan on the 12th January, in pursuit of Padre Jarauta, and while reposing at a hacienda, with horses unsaddled and unbridled, Padre Jarauta came -uddenly upon them with a body of guerillas, and a severe contest ensued. Eight Mexicans were killed and left on the field, and the whole body succ,ssfully re pulsed, the Americans sustaining no injury. Padre Jarauta was last seen on his horse, severely wounded ; and the animal was afterwards found loose, the blood running down his sides. On the 20th to 25th January, Captain Burton was :attacked frequently by an increased Mexican force of :300 men under Penando. Eaoh time they were re pulsed with considerable loss, and when the express left for Mazatlan the fighting was still going on. The Ame ricans wore invested by three times their number in the midst of the enemies' country, and with no assistance to tall back upon. There had been some skirmishing in the ♦icinity of Mazatlan. On the 20th January, 160 Americans en countered and put a body of over 300 Mexicans to flight, with a loss of one killed and thirteen wounded. A letter, dated Vera Cruz, January 24, says:— " We are in receipt of news from the city of Mexico to the 19th inst. All was quite at the capital. Peace! peace! is the cry. It is generally believed that General Scott and Mr. Trist have succeeded in making a treaty of peace; nothing is known, for of course all the move ments of those high in authority are kept secret. Many persons of respectability, and some high in authority, positively state there is no doubt there will bo peace in three months. " The courier dispatched by the English legation ar rived here on Saturday (the 22d), having left Mexico on the 19th. Almost everybody regards peace as con cluded. I have seen a private letter from a high source entitled to credit, which states that this general impres sion is entitled to no credit, an d that he cannot see t h at we are any nearer to it than ever. " Another specimen of Yankee enterprise is about to be introduced into the city of t h e A ztecs i n t h e s h a p e of an omnibus line, which is to be established there as soon as the vehicles, which have arrived in Vera Cruz, can reach that place. " General Bustamente, ex-President of the Mexican Republic, has issued an asidreas to his fellow-citizens, dated at Guanajuato on the 34th ult. He says that, though willing to shed the last drop of blood in defence of his country, he has not had the satisfaction of sharing in the honourable battles in which his countrymen have been engaged. " General Bustamente concluds by saying there are 30,000 valiant men left, who will not remain passive during the occupation of the Republic, &c. This looks very well on paper, but we apprehend will amount to no more than all the manifestoes of Santa Anna, who drove Bustamente from power seven years since, and to whom he ailudes in the extract given above." GENERAL CADWALADER.---Accounts from General Cadwalader, at Toluca, have been received to the Bth , and 11th of January. Ile had dispatched the 11th Infantry to Lerma, some five leagues this side of Toluca. THE PAONUNCIAMENTO Or SAN LUIS POTOSI. " 1. The state of San Luis Potosi, free, sovereign, end independent, one of those which compose the Mexican Confederation, resumes the full use of its sovereignty. "2. In cons equence the State r e p u di a t es t h e so - ca ll e d Government of the union, residing at the city of Quere taro, and severs the . ties by which it was kound, as it does not cousider it legitimate, and as it has not obeyed the voice of the people in the war with the United States of North America. "3. The Congress of the State, faithful to the will of its constituents, renews its protest of the Ist of June last, and will maintain the war with all its force until it titm ceeds in having the justice of th e repu bli c o f M ex i co i n the present war recognised and respected. "4. To this effect, and that the war may be carried on with the utmost vigour, all the othe r S tates w hi c h com posed the old confederation are invited to join the national standard, mild. to contribute with all their re sources according to their wealth and population. 5. In order that the operations of the war and the progress of public affairs may not be retarded by this union, and to give more vigour to the enterprise, there will be held in this capital, or wherever the majority of the States should determine, and with the least possible delay, a convention composed of the Deputies of the States which may adopt the principles of the State of San Luis. "6. This convention, the depository of the power of the people, will proceed immediately after its installation to appoint a chief executive, who will serve for the time and under the conditions which may b e prescribed for 7. The convention will give its prin c ip a l a tt en ti on to the war, it will provide means either by levying new contributions or contracting loans in the republic or , abroad, apportioning to every state which may join th e confederation the sacrifice which will have to be made ''or the common cause. "8. The State is expressly authorised to call on the other States to join it in order to create resources to prosecute the war, to raise troops and to dispose of them is the circumstances may require; but in no case shall it have the power to impose penalties on any person residing in the State except those sanction e d b ytt h e l aw. "9. This decree will be publ ished . with the solemnity of a national edict, and all the funct ionaries of the State will yield it due obedience under an oath, the formula of which will be prescribed by the Government, and with out subscribing to which they cannot hold their employ ment. God and liberty. MARI ANO AVILA. " MARIANO VILLALORUS, Sec." This pronunciamento does not exactly savour of peace. The dates from Saltillo are to the Ist of January. rho American detachment, on their way to Chiahunhua, were encamped at El Passo on the 15 th of Decenaber with a fair prospect of another field of Sacramento before them. The Mexicans were reported a s 12,000 strong, while the American force is stated at less than 2,000. The American troops were in high spirits, and eady to meet any number of Mexicans which could be produced. SANTA. FE AND NSW DEFCICO.. - By express from Santa Fe news have been reeeived •'rorn Colonel Gilpin's-camp, at Fort Bent. It seems that a force of Mexicans and Camanch e In ,lians, distant 250 miles south of this station, were pre paring to attack him. Colonel Gilpin and his command were making every preparation to receive the enemy, or obe the aggressors. He made his calculations to be ready for opera'ions on the 12th or 15th of February. CALIFORNIA..--The news from Mazatland and the Pacific Coast is to the Ist December. Guyamas was taken by the American forces on the 20th October, after a bombardment of forty minutes. S 149 MARCH 8 1848. Subsequently the place was deserted by the American troops, and left in charge of U. S. S. Dale, and on the 17th of November 400 Mexican soldiers took posses , ioo. Unaware of their presence, Commodore Selfridge and 65 officers and men landed, and after a severe fight routed the entire Mexican force. The Commodore was wounded, and this was the only casualty on the American side. On the lath November San Jose, then in possession of a body of 100 Americans, was attacked by 200 Mexicans, having with them two 6-pounders. After three unsuc cessful attacks, the Mexicans drew off with a loss of Majorca, their chief, and twenty or thirty men, the Americans having lost none. COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From the New York Sun, Feb. 19.) The market still grows easier, and rates are almost down to the legal standard. General confidence is fast being restored, and business working into its old channels. The rumour that the Rethchilds had proposed to take the United States loan is contradicted officially at Washington. In foreign exchanges for the Washington, there is not very much doing, though there is no dulness or languor in the market. Sales have generally been made at 1104 to 1101. Some British Government bills have been offered in market at 111 k, but refused at anything over 111. Exchange on London we therefore quote at 1104 to 111, and on Paris the same as yesterday. The news from Europe has had a very favourable influence upon the money market. Exchange on England is drooping, and at the close of to day's ope rations only 110 was offered for the best city bills. We quote sterling at 109 to 110, and francs at sf. 25c. to sf. 274 c. (From the New York Inquirer of Monday, Feb. 21.)

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ISLINCTON..---.LILSt night a fire, attended with considerable destruction of property, broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Mr. John Allen, a laundress, carrying on business in Dorset-place, Liverpool-road, Islington. It commenced in one of the drying-rooms, and was occasioned by a quantity of clothes falling upon a drying-stove, which set the place in a blaze. Owing to the easily ignitable nature of the stock in trade the flames spread most fear fully. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Company were remarkably quick in arriving—and,iowing to the exertions of all parties, the flames were extinguished, not, however, until that portion of the premises in which the fire began was burned oat, the whole of the goods therein consumed, and the remainder of the property severely damaged. Unfortu nately, a considerable quantity of goods in trust have been burned, and Mr. Allen is not insured for a single penny. TUB WEATRIR.—For nearly the last fortnight we have experienced most boisterous weather. The rain has fallen in heavy showers, and the wind at times has raged very high. We hope, however, the storm has now passed off. Yesterday (Friday) the weather appeared to have changed and there is now some prospect of finis weather, which seemed almost to have deserted us. The country, in some districts, has been completely soaked; and in the neighbourhood of Exeter, several places have remained covered with water, in others the effect of the powerful showers, the land being quite saturated before, was to wash away large quantities of the soil. The storm of Saturday last proved very injurious to the Plymouth Breakwater. The sea made a heavy breach in the Breakwater towards the eastern end, near:the beacon, hundreds of tons of stone having been washed from the southern, or outer side, to the northern, or i nner s id e o f the works. Eight cranes were broken down and des troyed.—Devonport Independent. MONBT-MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is about 30 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.91 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.65, it follows that gold is 1.01 per sent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 103-d. per ounce fot standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.111, it follows that gold is 0.34 per sent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. KINSALE ELECTION. KINSALE, MONDAY.—Mr. Hewes arrived in Kinsale this morning, and proceeded to wait on the electors of the borough, His canvass has been most successful. Lord Robert Clinton (a son of the Duke of Newcastle), who has been introduced, in a public address, to the constituency, by the late candidate, Mr. Guinness, is his antagonist. If th ere h e no bribery there is little doubt of the success of Mr. Hawes, as a large majority of the electors are liberal, and it is most cheering to witness the indignation ma nifested by a vast number at the conduct of these who voted for money at the last election. An:opportunity now presents itself to the electors to redeem their character, and save their privilege of sending a representative to Parliament, for, should there be a repetition of that disgraceful venality which characterised some of the lectors at the last election, there is little doubt that a Reformed House of Commons will take from the borough a privilege which has been so much abused. _RAGGED SCHOOLS.--Last evening the supporters of the Ragged School in George-street, Lisson grove, held their annual general meeting in the Theatre of the Literary and Scientific Institution, Edward -street, Portman-square. Lord Ashley, M.P., was in the chair, supported by the Earl of Ilarrowby, and moat of the neighbouring clergy. The report stated that the dis trict in which the school was situated was inhabited by dense and increasing population, living in a state of destitution. During the short period of ten months twenty-eight young persons from that district were con victed, of whom fourteen were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, and the remainder were trans portt.d for seven years. Out of fifty persons only five attended Divine worship. Since the establishment of the school there had been a marked improvement in the behaviour of the children in the vicinity. The average attendance during the year had been, to the day school, boys SO, girls 60 ; to the infant school 281, and to Sun day evening school 216. The annual subscriptions for the support of the school amounted to only 901., and there was a debt upon the Institution of 100/. On the motion of the Rev. J. Walpole, seconded by the Earl of Harrowby, the report was adopted. Several resolutions were then passed, and thanks having been voted to the Noble Lord in the chair, the meeting separated. ALDERMAN GIBBS AND ST. STEPHEN, \VAL.. B ROOK.—A numerously attended meeting of the parishioners of St. Stephen, Walbrook, was held yes terday in the vestry-room, for the purpose, if possible, of securing a final adjustment of the differences which have so long existed between the churchwardens (and Other officers) of this parish and Mr. Alderman Gibbs. The Rev. Dr. Croly, the rector, was called to the chair, and Mr. Tyrell, the solicitor, of Guildhall, was present to %etch the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Alderman Gibbs. After a lung discussion, Mr. Harrison at length moved. " That the suggestion of Mr. Justice Erie be :receded to, inasfar as the p..rish agree to pay 5501. to Flight and Rock, and the like sum to Mr. Alderman. Gibbs, towards his costs, upon his assigning the pariatf ti list property to fourteen new trustees, to be appointed by the parish. Mr. Wilson having seconded the propo sition the rev. chairman put it to the sense of the meet ing, and it was carried. A committee was then formed to carry out the spirit of the resolution, the result to be teported to a future vestry. The meeting was then iidjourned. ACCIDENT.—WbiIe a shopkeeper in litichmoud itreet was pumping whisky out of a cask at his door, with the aid of a light, he incautiously placed it so near the aperture as to set fire to the liquid. On observing the flame he hastily closed the bung in the hole to ex tinguish it, upon which both ends burst out with a loud report knocking down and seriously injuring a boy who was standing by, and spilling a considerable quantity of spirits.—Caledonian Mercury. t
