And by means of the papers, the facts have got wind. Mr. Bunn had his lawyers. and so had poor Jenny, Rho new, it appears, has to pay a rare penny. Two Thousand Five Hundred, besides all expenees, Is enough to make Jenny bereft of her senses. This minstrel, whose music has made us so fond, Has to pay this amount, having broken her bond ; Yes, in spite of the speeches of counsel vehement, Jenny Lind is declared to have broken agreement. And certainly that is a serious charge. Which should give a broad hint to the public at large. I have thought since I heard of this action of Bunn, Of the public agreement of MOSES and SON. E MOSES and SON, as 3ou all must respond, Have never been known to dishonour their bond. In the whole of their promises, no matter what, They've stuck to their contract, if Jenny has not. Their Drese.oeats are proofs that they stick to their terms, And the whole of their stock this agreement confirms. Their elegant Ault - lion, and quality, too, Are proofs that they keep their agreement in view ; And an action should ne'er been entered by Bunn. Had the " Nightingale" acted like MOSES and SON.

DIRECTORS. JOHN MACGREGOR, Esq., Chairman. Captain C. R. Drinkseater Bethune, R.N., C.B. Alexander Nairne, Esq., Director of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Hugh Hamilton Lindsay, Esq. Sir John Pirie, Bart., Depnty-Chairman of the Penin sular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. Henry Wise, Esq. Baxxees—Messrs, Glyn, Hallifax, Mills, and Co., London. The objects of this Company are to carry on mining, agricultural, and trading operations in the Eastern Archipelago, and 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 valu able tropical productions, and very happily situate for the purposes of commerce. The Island of Labuan has been formally taken possession of by the Crown of Great Britain ; and, by a treaty with the Sultan of liorneo, many highly important advantages are permanently secured to this country. Piracy in the eastern seas will now be effectually suppressed, and, under the protection of the British flag at Labuan. a now 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 to expatiate on the advantages to be derived from this undertaking. The important discovery of an abundant sup ply of excellent coal on the mainland of Borneo, in the immediate vi cinity of Labuan, is a cirouinstance which of itself would render this enterprise pregnant with the most beneficial results. A formal grant of this coal, extending through a district of about 150 miles, has been obtained from the Sultan of Borneo, and is, with the approval of her Majesty's Government, now held by Mr. Wise, with whom arrange ments 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 to be carried on in con nexion therewith, if is matter of peculiar interest, and even of na tional importance. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, for instance, disburse more than 130,0001. annually for coal for their steam-vessels, of which sum about 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 those of the Honourable East India Com pany on the India and China stations, is at present chiefly furuished from England, at an average cost exceeding 335. per ton ; so that the expenditure by her Majesty's Government, the Honourable East In dia Company, and the Peninsular 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 aro sufficiently matured to admit of their supplying the several depots which have been esta blished at llong-Kong, Singapore, and other places, with coal for the use of the many,British and Foreign ste, tn-vessels re"orting to those ports. The certain increase in the consumption of 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 Australian colonies—the probable communication by the same means at no distant period, between the various British settle ments to 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 mere so as it can be sup plied at comparatively moderate rates. Samples of the Labuan and Borneo 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 coal Committee, appointed by the Bengal Government, to be equal to the best English coal ; and Captain Wattage, in his report on the supplies of coal obtained from the seam at Labuan, for theuse of the Honourable East India Company's steam-ship Nemesis, dated Sarawak, 10th June, 1847, observes—" I have no hesitation in stating that the coal received at Labuan is equal to 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 and soil admir ably adapted for the culture of cotton, tobacco, sugar, coffee, rice, nutmegs, pepper, and other valuable productions, and is most favourably situate, having the advantage of Labuan, now su`Ject to 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, &c., is not only of great importance in this respect, but also as affording the means of introducing with facility from those places Chinese and other cold nisei, and labourers to any extent required for the service of the Company. Labuan itself will form an essential link in the chain of our eastern settlements, from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to Hong Kong ; and in the district of Sarawak every protection and encouragement will be granted by Mr. Brooke in furtherance of the Company's objects. In short, every circumstance justifies the anti cipation that the late proceedings of the British Government relating to Borneo, if followed up with vigour by the operations of the pre scut 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 oolif erring extensive benefits on the commerce and manufactures of Great Britain. The philanthropist and the 'statesman, as wed as the merchant, will thus feel interested in this design, which, through the medium of British enterprise, sanctioned and protected by the wis dom and decision of the Government, promises the amelioration of the condition of the natives of the Indian Archipelago, amohg whom there ex , sts a disposition most favourable to the development of 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 for 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 Labsan as the site of a British settlement, may be ascribed the tact, 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 3lajesty's Commissioner and Consul-General to the Sultan and independent chiefs of Borneo. These measures, and the course of poll .y which they indicate, will materially fact state and advance the objects and interests of the Company throughout the Eastern Ar chmel Ago. 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 tile Board of Trade.

They are not • merely damp:ilets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the intro 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 after nature's laws—and to keep always the " sunny side of the way."

TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR. All who are professionally conversant wills the condition of our Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the nurses, and they find that the patients suffer from faults of those on whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen dent; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral. ize the effect of the religious Instruction and consolation which they receive while in the hospital. It is also matter •f general notoriety that great difficulty is found in obtaining well qualified norses to attend on patients in private families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes; and parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and administering to their bodily wants. The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look upon their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for its trying and painful duties. he want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found useful in Prussia ; a recent attempt to improve the respectability of professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training Institution for Nurses" will be based on the doctrine and discipline if the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object, not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom from other duties to give themselves entirety to this, but by endea vouring to act, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in To raise- the eltareeser the class by offi,strog to its members a training which shall qualify them ter their professional work, and be at the same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those who are justified in seeking for it, the prospect of a higher professions positions than they could otherwise obtain ; and to afford also to those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate ileld f labour: these are the means which, as they have been successful in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing, in raising that of a body which is at present so much in want of improvement. It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the imim-diate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Chards of England and Ireland, as ➢caster. That the inmates of the Institution should consist of three classes : 1. These under training as probationers. 2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa tisfactorily, aro admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging to continue in connexion with the Institution for a period of five years from their admission. Daring this period they will be clothed and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In stitution. . _ At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from the nstitution a certificate of their qualification as curses, and thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the Institution, or independent of any direct control from it. It is be lieved that this will be a very important step towards gradually raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be likely to set an example whieh can scarcely fall to have a good effect upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this as their work in life, is follow in the same course, and submit them selves to the training of this Institution. S. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which Is in tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are willing 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 Ns ill be here provided for them. The management of the Institution will be confided to a council of twenty-tour members, (exclusive if the master, who will be ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their own body. A donation of fifty guineas in one payment, or in several payments withie four years, or an annual subscription of five guineas, will con stitute a Governer. A donation of twenty guineas in ono payment, or in several pay ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas, will constitute a Donor. _ _ _ The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President of the Institution. It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop df York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristql, Ripon, and r orwich. The Rev. C.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of t:limbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3cl and 4th 'Victoria, sap. 85, are continually resorted to. This brooch of the law is acquiesced ti by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter ira possitility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old maehine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for Ito infringement, the Inge- Mous and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which 'sy means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The reds attached to this head •r brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolviug ball, having also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleanscig its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the feet, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous publics offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jennyn-street, St James's ; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birckin-lane ; at W.

CITY, QUARTER TO TIINFE The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 1,500 ba'es only, aril at a reduction of id. per lb. in some cases. Railway Shares were steadier. There was not much stock offering. The Continental accounts are to-day or chief interest. In Belgium, although the gravity of political events was fully comprehended, there was an indication of foresight end moderation among the people generally which is likely to restrain them from proceedings calculated to jeopardise their independence. Unfortunately, mercantile affairs and manufacturing and a4ricultural industry are at the present time so much depressed as to occasion inevitable discoetent, although the present popular Administration is doing its best to afford relief. There bad been a meeting convened of the members of the political club, called the Alliance, but it was agreed to postpone discussion. The garrison of Mons had been strengthened, and the officials had orders to exercise a strict surveillance over all parties arriving from France. The Commercial Bank had experienced a " run," which compelled it temporarily to suspend specie payments. The accounts of January 8, received to-day, from the Cape of Good Hope, announce the completion of vari ous excellent arrangements for annexing the Kafir ter ritory to the Crown, the chiefs being answerable to the English laws, though allowed to remain in possession of their territory and authority over their own sub jects. Via Sydney, there pro late advices from Van Die men's Land, stating that the Governor was unable to get through business with his Council, and had, there fore, resolved to suspend the enactment of further laws until instructions were received from England. A curious statement is given of the extent of the watch trade in Switzerland. The number of watches fabri cated last year was 351,000 ; nfie-tenths of which were silver, and the total value was .13,000,000 francs. We may judge of the profit whore the main lenient is skill and industry. There has been an unsettled musket ,gain ter the public securities, but with less doing. Among otter re ports it is current that a counter-revolution bad occurred in France; but even if such be the case, the chances of success at present are vet y remote. Consols have ranged from 83/ to 82 for transfer, and from 83i to 821 for account, being now at the lowest point nearly. Ex chequer-bills are 14s. prem. Bank Stock is 191 to 195.

His Royal Highness, together with his illustrious sister-in-law, the Duchess do liontpensier, left the Embassy last evening, and they are now occu pying apartments at the Belgian Legation in Portland place. The reaso❑ of this is soon told. At four o'clock yesterday the Count de Jarnac, French Minister under the former regime, received dispatches by a special courier from 11. de Lamartine, who has charge of the Foreign Affairs in the Provisional Government, inform ing his Excellency officially of the ,retirement of the Orleans dynasty, and the assumption of power by the Provisional Government. On receipt of this intelligence the Duke at once determined to leave the embassy. At eleven o'clock yesterday morning their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg arrived at Hertford- house, from Buckingham palace, in one of the Queen's carriages, to pay a visit to their illustrious relatives. At half-past twelve his Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived at the Embassy on horseback, attended by his Equerry in Waiting, Colonel Seymour. His Royal Highness was received by the Count de Jarnac, by whom he was presented to the Duchess do Montpensier and the Duke de Nemours. His Royal Highness had a lengthened interview with the Illustrious Princess and her brother-in-law. The Duke do Montebello called at the Embassy durine , the morning, and had also an interview with the Duke de Nemours. The Chevalier de Tacon, Spanish Charge d'Affaires, had the honour of an interview with her Royal Highness the Duchess de Montpensier at au early hour in the afternoon. At half-past three o'clock their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg left the Embas-y and returned to Buckingham Palac e . His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours accompanied her, and bad an audience of the Queen on reaching the Palace. His Royal Highness remained at the Palace until nearly seven o'clock, at which hour he returned to Hertiord House on foot. The intelligence of the arrival of a courier with dis patches from the Republican Government only reached the Duke de Nemours on his return from the Palace. His Royal Highness immediately made arrangements to leave the Embassy, and his Excellency the Belgian Minister at once placed his suburban villa at East Sheen (formerly the residence of the late Earl Grey) at the disposal of the Prince. A telegraphic communication from Dover at seven o'clock informed M. Van de Weyer that a courier had just previously arrived at that port from Brussels, charged. with dispatches for his Excel lency. This fact was at once communicated to the Duke de Nemours, and as it was ascertained that the courier would arrive in London by the half-past ten P.M. up-train, his Royal Highness determined to remain with his sister in.law at the Belgian Legation, in Portland place, for the night, in order to gain the earliest intelli gence, which it was hoped might reach town by this source, of the safety of his royal relatives. Shortly before eight o'clock the Duke and Duchess Augustus ~f Saxe Coburg again arrived at the Embassy from Buckingham Petlace in one of the Queen's car riages, and remained closeted with their royal relatives for nearly an hour. Prince Leopold of Naples, Count de Syracuse, brother of the King of Naples and nephew of the King of the French, v‘ hose arrival in town on Monday from Paris we omitted to mention yesterday, called at Hertford house at a late hour yesterday evening, and had an in terview with the Duke do Nemours. A report WAS current during the evening that a letter had !leen received in London yesterday morning, by a lady of title, announcing the safe arrival at Brussels of Louis Philippe and other members of his family, but on inquiring the statement appeared to be purely apocry phal; and on the arrival of the courier above alluded to, at eleven o'clock last night, M. Van de Weyer had the painful task of communicating to the illustrious exiles under his roof that the dispatches he had received con tained no intelligence whatever to the ex-Royal family. The Duchess de Montpensier was accompanied to this country by General Thierry, Aide-de-Camp to the Duke de Montpensier, and M. de Esulpice, an Attach' to the French Legation in Bavaria. At eight o'clock last evening a courier was dispatched from Hertford house with despatches from the Count de Jan= to Paris. .MINSTER REFORM' SOCIETY. :nual meeting of the above society pie. Jnday evening, at the York lintel, r Welling ton-street, at seven o'clock precisely, for the purpose (as stated in the society's notice) of receiving the report of the committee for the past year, to elect officers for the present year, and other business. The proposed in crease of the income-tax was also brought under consi deration, but such not having been intimated in the no tice to members, the meeting was not so numerously at tended as otherwise we should have expected. The chair was taken by Mr. Pouncey. The SECRETARY opened the proceedings by reading the report for the last year, which showed that the re• suit of the registration for 1846, gave a majority of 367 to Reformers, and that the registration of 1847 gave the Reformers a net gain of 373; and also, that the society , had not been called upon to pay costs in any case of re vision during those two years. Twenty new members were elected into the society, and the report of the ccmmittee was then received and adopted. It congratulated the members on the great increase of their number, and the importance which the society had obtained in the estimation of their fellow citizens. It was gratifying to find, that out of four gen tlemen recommended to the society as fitting candidates, three had been elected Members of the present Parlia ment, namely, Mr. Lushington, Mr. George Thompson, and Mr. W . P. Wood. Mr. Lushington had been accepted by the society after fully stating his political principles at a meeting, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the Ist of March, 1846, when nearly 1,000 electors attended. The society deprecated the immense expenditure, which their opponents had encouraged in election contests, knowing that a profligate expen diture was inseparable from bribery—that riot and drunkenness and general demoralization were its certain results ; this being one of the results which had contributed to the production of the Reform Act. In Westminster, in 1807, the election of Sir Francis Burdett, through a fourteen days' poll, cost less than 1,0001.; at all subsequent periods reformers had been scrupulous upon this head and anxious to preserve purity of election, but the committee deplored that scenes of drunkenness, disgraceful to civilization, were rife on the day of last election in Westminster, so much so that parties officially connected with this city, declared that during fourteen elections in Westminster none had been equal to the last in the exhibition of intoxication. This they attributed to the fact, that no less than fifty-four public-houses were opened as com mittee-rooms for the supporters of one of the opposing candidates. A re-action, however, was now rapidly going on, and such practices would, it was hoped, defeat the object sought to be obtained. The committee had much pleasure in reporting that the state of the register of voters was highly satisfactory. The subject of the proposed increase of the income tax was then introduced. Mr. HUOQETT (the Secretary) read letters from the two Members for the City, d ec li n i ng an i nv i tat i on to at tend; Sir De Lacy Evans in consequence of Parliamen tary duties, and Mr. Lushington, in consequence of an engagement at a public meeting. He also begged to announce that he had just received information that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had relinquished the addi tional two per cent.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LABRAN was glad to hear the statement made by the honourable secretary, as it would supersede the ne cessity of discussing the subject of the income-tax that evening. He thought, however, some notice should be taken of the Government proposition, notwithstanding the information received, and therefore he beggFd to move the following resolution:—" That this association deferred with much pleasure the subject of the income tax, in consequence of information having arrived that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had relinquished his intention of increasing the income-tax." Mr. SOAME seconded the motion. Mr. GEEIIN rose to oppose the motion. He did not think there was anything to congratulate themselves upon. It might appear very well to withdraw the pro position for an income-tax, yet there were other things to be entered upon. There ought to be a thorough re vision of the taxation of the country.—(Hear, hear.) They had too long been enduring an amount of taxation which never ought to have burdened the working classes. What right had the Government to go on increasing the army, the navy, and the ordnance estimates from year to year.—(Shame.) If they were quietly to bear these things, no wonder the Chancellor of the Exchequer told them that whatever the Ministers had done the repre sentatives of the people had forced it upon them. It therefore became them to instruct their representatives that they did not mean to put up with such doings any longer.—(Hear.) Their representatives should be in structed to go and not only to represent themselves but their constituents also.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think that the discussion of the income- tax should now alto gether cease. He begged to move the following amend ment:—" That this Association be specially summoned for Monday next, to take into consideration the , nature of the budget now before the House of Commons. ' Mr. BROWNE seconded the amendment. Mr. LABRAM explained that it was his desire to enter further into a discussion of the subject; his resolution merely arose out of the incidental circumstance of cer tain information having arrived. The amendment was thee carried. - Mr. AUSTIN had prepared a resolution which, how ever, he should defer until Monday evening, upon the subject of the window-tax. He begged to observe that the Government ought not to be allowed to go on in the expensive course they had pursued for years past, till they came to exceed seven millions in the course of ten years, and this too at a time of profound peace; and at the present time, notwithstanding what they had al ready done, the Government were about to add an in crease to their expenditure. When he saw the suffering arourld, he could hardly feel persuaded that such things were possible. If the people wanted the window-tax repealed, and if they wish'd the income-tax to be ever repealed, it must be done by making the Ministry ex pend less money.—(Hear, hear.) Ministers laughed in their sleeves when they came down with their estimates for the army, the navy, and the ordnance, for their real intention was only to provide appointments for their sons and relations.—(Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks was awarded to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. ANOTHER BOILER EXPLOSION.— MANCHESTER, FEB. 29.—At a few minutes before eight o'clock this morning a boiler exploded at the cotton-mill of Mr. Richard Walker, Blue Pits, near Rochdale. The end of the boiler was blown out, and three persons were killed almost instantaneously. Two others were serioubly in jured, and one of them was dying when our informant left. The roof of the engine house was blown and the building considerably damaged. The engineer and tenter, we understand, were among the killed. This is another proof of the necessity for competent engine-in spectors. Mr. Walker's mill has not long been erected, and the probability is that the boiler was nearly new. From a private letter received in Lewes this morning, we learn that the late King of France had reached the Chateau d'Eu in safety. The writer of the letter resides in the immediate vicinity of the chateau. This statement favours the idea that the vessels just sent - •• • • • across from Newhaven may be made available for th• €;cape of the aged monarch from that country which has been at once the author and the witness of his recent calamities.—Sussex Advertiser. MONEY- MARILET.—By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436} per mark, which, at, the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.104 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.1•? ; , it follows that gold is 0.68 per eent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. According to the usual calculation that 60 59 100 gold imperials are equivalent in value to 100 sovereigns, the transmission of gold from St. Petersburgh to London would establish an exchange of 86 45-100 pence per silver rouble ; and the last quotation at St. Petersburgh of the exchange on London being 37} pence, it follows that the gross profit on send ing imperials would be about 2i per cent. To this must be added the gain of interest on three months' date bills, to which the above quotation refers, and a deduction must be made of the charges of transport. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110} per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.67 per cent. in favour of England. But, the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the in terest must be added to the above difference. GINERAL ITEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY —The half-yearly general meeting of this corporation was held yesterday, at their office, 71, Lombard-street. The chair was taken by Mr. Wilkin. A report from the directors and a statement of the accounts for the half year ending the Slat of December last were read to the meeting. These documents represented the operations of the company to have been attended with the most successful results. The report: having been read, was, after some discussion, adopted by the proprietors, when the usual dividend and bonus were declared, and the meeting broke up. [A DVERTISEMENT.]-A Gentleman, Sixty years of age, cured of a dreadful bad leg by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.--Mr. Nicholas Page, residing at Newsham, had been suffering for three years with wounds on his leg of a most awful nature, to cure which he tried a great variety of specifics, and consulted nearly every surgeon within twenty miles of his house, yet all failed to give relief ; as a last resource he used Holloway's famous Ointment and Pills, which healed his leg in a few w eeks. In gratitude for the wonderful cure effected at his ad vanced age, ho thus gives every publicity to the circum stance, that others may derive similar benefit. —Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. —Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the governors and direc tors of the above charity was held at the Board-room, Portugal-street, Lincoln's-inn, Mr. J. F. Twemlow in the chair. The report congratulated the friends of the institution that during the past severe season no falling oil in the income had occurred, as might have been ex pected, and the expenditure only exceeded the ordinary income by 471. The number of patients admitted during the year was 1,253, exclusive of 106 remaining in the house on the 31st of December. The out-patients, in the course of the same period, numbered 17,901, being a very c onsiderable increase over that of any previous year The permanent fund of the hospital had been augmented by the munificent legacy of 1,000/. from the late Miss Colver, of Farningham, Kent, and 501. from the late Mr. W. T. Praed. It was mentioned that the charity was still in debt about 2001., and as the.meamittee hoped before lung to announce a plan for the enlarge ment of the hospital, to meet the greatly increasing de mands upon the charity—abundant room ex isted for the beneficial exercise of benevolent considers ttion. The customary compliment having been voted t o the chair man the meeting separated. The fleet so long wind-bound at Str , Dulness have ,at last got out to sea.
