It is now two years since the last festival. of epidemic disease and During that time, while the prevalence !there' distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and ihe cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the %%tiding. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large %Mount. A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a debt of 1,500/. contracted.

DEPUTY Crimasresr —ANTHONY SALVIN, Esq. The object of this Company is to identify the extensive building interests, and all the professions and trades connected with the fine arts, with fire and life insurance. Some idea of their peculiar adap tation for that purpose may be seen in the following facts, viz.:—That the number of houses annually erected in the upwards of two th t sand millions. That the amount actually insured is only about one third. the number of p e rsons directly and indirectly conne cted with That the building trades is u pwards of 800,000, that the mem bers of the legal, medical, and clerical professions united do not exceed 200,000 and yet they have established at least twelve insurance offices, all of which are in successful operation. So great has been the confidence in the prospects of the Company, that without the aid of a single advertisement in the public papers, and that, too, at a period of unparalleled commercial difficulty, viz.: the close of the year 1847, 12,500 shares, representing 210,0001., or one -fourth of the intended capita l o f one million were subscribed and paid for. A second series is now being issued, a considerable part of which have already been taken. In the allotment of the remainder, pre ference will be given to the building interests, and to other parties likely to benefit the institution.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ilall, London, Honorary Member , of the London Hospital Medical Society, Esc. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. iu order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretckedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when ased in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the kuman frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatmy and Playt•iology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their o relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and or the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while [suffering from their invariable consequence', unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame art the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints arc beyond f the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, riabl sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, characteriseinva inan who cantli e i s n h t o e w l I i g b e v i i h i t and o p s r s practical ell o c a n l o of the u a i s n i , t i e t o legalth e medical qualifications that he entitled to ' esteem and respect in his profes sionalLA'MEßT has obtained certify, and the great extent pursuits, most confidence should be extended.

L i d One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, mad miscalculated hopes em witter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un zomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

M. de Cormenin has issued the following man festo to the electors of the French Republic, under his usual pseudonym of " Timon" ; " Liberty of conscience ; liberty of association ? Yes or no ? "Does liberty of conscience interest the Catholics ? Yes. And the Protestants? Yes. And the Jews? Yes. An the philosophers ? Yes. And the Pha lansterians ? Yes. And the Templars ? Yes.

" TIMON." - WRESTLING. —The annual /de of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Wrestling Society came off in the large room at Highbury Barn yesterday, and drew toge ther, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, some 2,000 spectators. The wrestling this year furnished a rich treat to the lovers of that manly sport, and was of a character far eclipsing that exhi ; aeti t b o i r t e d t h o e n s a e n v y e rfa'orn l p e r r t z o e s c c awsehr) were . their evolutions were witn essed with the most intense excellently Ia ny t the L competitorst matched interest and anxiety by the beholders, as the issue of each contest, as it were, trembled in the balance, and long and loud were the plaudits accorded to the victorious athletes. The first contest was between men of nine stone, or light weights, for a silver snuff box ; eighteen persons contended for this prize, which was carried off by William Walker, a Cumberland man. Next followed one between men of eleven stone, or middle weights, for a gold watch ; forty-two men contended, and James Whitefield (a Cumberland man) came off the winner, after a severe struggle with Halliwell (of Westmoreland). Halliwell and the two next best men each received a silver snuff-box. The final contest was for a silver tankard, value twenty guineas, for which sixty men of all weights competed. The real battle, in this instance, lay between J. Banks (of Cumberland) and J. Robinson (of Westmoreland); the former belonging to her Majesty's Horse Guards, and the latter to the Foot Guards. The tankard was won, after a warm and doubtful struggle, by Banks; the three next best men receiving a silver snuff box a piece. There was also a leaping waters for a silver snuff-box. The prizes Here five; and there were four competitors. Peter Sherrin was declared to be the victor, having accomplished seventeen yards one foot. After the termination of the sports, a considerable portion of the company adjourned to another part of the premises, where a grand banquet took place, and the various prizes were duly awarded. The whole of the proceedings passed off most pleasantly, and happily without any accident occurring. SINGULAR ATMOSPHERICAL PHENOMENON.—There appeared lately in the west of Stirlingshire a phenomenon somewhat of a strange character, which, at this period of wars and rumours of wars, excited no ordinary degree of prophetical fancies among the preternatural. Towards the setting of the sun, there was distinctly observed a sort of mist or cloud gently ascending the brow of Ben Lomond. assuming a pyramidal form, increasing in length, as it approached the top of the Ben. On reach jug the top, it stretched to an immense height—still maintaining its columnar form, and giving the Ben the exact appearance of a burning volcano. The appear rh. ot i t hte nutmascended nwdist h of fu tmany.-- gradually laeanvyt._ h g ance was further heighten e d by t h e b r illi ant rouge o f the setting sun, which gave the c l ou d a fi ery t i nge. intosu n After sundry l theres suspicious andun s impressions aboutdisappeared, an h o on u North British Mail. [ADVERTISEMENT.] Two Bad Legs Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, after more than Seven Years' s uffering.—Mrs. Elizabeth Humphreys, of York street, Hull, had been mo-t painfully afflicted for up wards of seven years with ulcerated sores in both legs . her sufferings at times were dreadful. She bad tried almost every remedy, and received the advice of several of the first surgeons in Yorkshire, yet all failed to effect a cure until she used Holloway's invaluable ointment and pills, the astonishing powers of which soundly healed every wound. She is now in the enjoyment of the best of health, and enabled to walk about the hous,c with ease and comfort. Sold by all druggists, and at P r ofessor Holloway's establishment, 244, trand.

Meetings were hell yesterday in Bishop Bonner's Fields, Bethnal-green, and in Cumberland-market, Regent's Park, for the purpose of electing delegates to the new Chartist Convention. The proceedings were utterly devoid of interest. Some persons also visited Kennington-common, under the impression that a meeting would come off there, but they were disappointed BIRMINGHAM, GOOD FRIDAY. —The election of two delegates to re present the Chartists of Birmingham in the National Convention to be held in London, on Monday next, took place to-day. It was at first in tended that it should be an open-air meeting on a I vacant space of ground in the neighbourhood of Lombard-street, but in consequence of the unfavour able state of the weather, it was by placard removed to the People's Hall, Loveday street. From thence it was again adjourned, in consequence of the weather becoming fair, and the Chartists from Loveday-street removed from that locality to the other in a straggling procession. The delega tes were then duly elected, and the memorial to t he Q ueen for the removal of her Ministers adopted. M ANCHESTER, APRIL 21.—Simultaneous meetings were held to-day at Manchester, Salford, Ashton, Staleybridge, Mottram, and Oldham. The meeting here took place at ten o'clock this morning in Smith field-market, Manchester, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the National Convention in London. Mr. Mitchell, of the United Irishman, and Mr. Smith O'Brien were among the delegates unanimously elected on the occasion. A memorial to the Queen praying the dismissal of the Ministers, and the ap pointment of those who would carry out the points he cnournmdideurcot numerously hmearkethe of the Charter, was adopted. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, APRIL 20.—The Chartists held a meeting at the Central Hall this evening, which was attended by about 600 working men.

The meeting was called for the p ur p ose of hearin g Ernest Jones, barrister, London, and James Adams, of Glasgow, delegates from the National Convention. Mr. Adams first addressed the meeting. He was followed by Mr. Jones, who declared for physical force whenever the Queen refused the memorial that_ was to be sent, demanding her to dismiss her Ministry, and call to her councils men pledged to the six points of the Charter, or when the first blow was struck by the Government; and if the revolution they were to accomplish became an insurrection, the Crown would have to take its chance among the tumbling things of the British constitution. He described in glowing colours the El Dorado to which the Charter would introduce them, and called on the people to arm in defence, spoke of disaffection in the army and the nation, and adopted as his own every treasonable word uttered by O'Brien, Mitchell, and the Irish patriots. His harangue drew down the most exces sive and violent cheering, especially the revolutionary effusions. Dr. Hunter also addressed the meeting, when a scene of confusion ensued, evidently caused by some disagreement as to the legality of his election las a delegate, among the leaders of the Chartist party in this city, and after many interruptions he was obliged to give way, After a vote of thanks to the delegates and the chair, and cheers for their leaders, he meeting separated quietly.—Caledonian Mercury.

" Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the resolutions adopted unanimously by the rate-payers of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, at a meeting held in the Vestry-room on the 14th inst. " I will feel much obliged to you if you will take the first convenient opportunity of returning my warm thanks for this most gratifying expression of cordiality and good-will on the part of so many friends and neigh bours. " I am convinced that it will be, to the last hour of our lives, a most agreeable and happy reflection, that by the ready assemblage of a great body of our fellow.- citizens the capital of our beloved country was saved, through the means of all-guiding Providence, from scenes of bloodshed and confusion. With that gratitude which we must all feel to God for this great blessing, we shall find our confidence increased in the power and stability of that form of government under which we are placed, and to which it is our duty to be bound. " In thanking my friends for the honour they have done me, I should be guilty of great injustice if I did not acknowledge the great perseverance and untiring interest taken by my friend Captain Mayne in the onerous details of our organization, as it was to his ability and experience we were indebted for the order in which we acted. "I must also render my willing and sincere testimony to the skill, readiness, and clearness with which the arrangements were carried out, by gentlemen who Droved themselves most abl e to dischar g e the duties which the necessity of the case called for. I cannot forget the kindness of my friends Mr. Dalton and Mr. Palmer, the churchwardens , or the kindness of those gentlemen who were elected b y their fellow parishioners as leaders of the several divisions into which it was thought expedient to divide our forces. " 1 have the honour to be, your humble servant, " ARUNDEL AND SURREY. " To Mr. Farrant, Vestry Clerk." Mr. STAUNTON moved that the letter and the resolu. tions be entered on the minutes, which was carried unanimously. In answer to a question, the CHAIRMAN said that Sir H e nry Dukinfield, the vicar, was preparing an a dd ress to her Majesty, which would be submitted to a me e ti ng of ratepayers on an earl y day, as it would b e most dis respectful if that, the !optl parish, and the first to set the example of swearing in special constables, did not do so. A vote of thanks having been passed to the Chairman, .he meeting separated. THE CANTING BUSY-BOOT:TiIiS specimen is of a numerous and perseverin g c l ass , near l y al li e d to that of genuine hypocrites. The principal characteristics are as tollows :—A strong disposition to sigh and groan, as if in deep tribulation, while they are, in fact, as happy as their neighbours. A constant habit of professing that they are fallen, wicked creatures, who cannot be saved, though they practise all the cardinal virtues, if they have not faith ; and that they can and will be saved, though they are loaded w ith sins, if they have faith. A determination to convince other people that they ought to feel the same conviction An opinion, that while they own their sins, and proclaim themselves the most wicked of the sons of men, they are, in reality, exceed ingly good people. A belief that the rest of the world, whom they pretend to admit are better than them selves, are, in fact, infinitely worse, and a strongbh rrence dis position to convert them. An affected abhorrence of being happy on a Sunday, or recreation and a condemnation of every species ofi hing and or relaxation from everything but t l inseiyes, in looking miserable, while . they indulge h seeing others so, ment of all decorum in their procedslito themselves upon their own way, to their heart 's contentf. cenvteortiatbl banish their creatures—evinced by obtruding gmask of assisting private families, especially under to thetruth, . often siek w th h e o m m , and theiynptrhoefosmust o shamefulc,,aortn;gabpuptc:in trighten or worry to death, a strong objection to allowing people to die . i 1 clu As —On Wednesday a meet- PARISH OF ST.

A REvOLUTIONARY MATRON GONE.—Died in New Prospect, Bengen county, on the 21th March, Mrs. Charity Berry, at the extraordinary age of " one hun dred and ten years!" She was married during the Re volutionary War, and was the mother of thirteen chil dren, all of whom still survive! Her husband was cap tain of a militia company in active service, and who aided in driving the British troops from Hoppertown. Generals Washington and Lafayette together dined with her one day, under the shade of a stately elm tree, near her door--a circumstance she was fond of relating. Her eyesight never failed in the least until her death, and she was able to go about until about five years back, since which she had lain in bed the greater part of the time, although entirely free from disease. She was re markable for one thing —which may account in a great measure for her prolonged life—she was noted for her opposition to tight lacing.

The enthronement will take place between one and two in the afternoon. It is understood that his Grace will con secrate the chapel at St. Augustine's College on the 29th, and preach a sermon at the Cathedral on the 30th.

ON SOCIETY AT VIENNA.- - The rich and the noble seldom inhabit the suburbs of Vienna; and notwith standing that the city possesses, in other respects, all the advantages of a great capital, the good company is there brought together as closely as in a small town. These easy communications •in the midst of all the enjoyments of fortune and luxury, render their hibitual life very convenient, and the frame of society, that is to say, its habits, usages, and manners, are ex tremely agreeable. There is simplicity, politeness, and, above all, honesty in the good company of Vienna. People are as punctual in their dinner and supper en gagements as they would be in the discharge of more essential promises ; and those false airs which make elegance consist in a contempt of the forms of politeness have never been introduced among them. Nevertheless, one of the principal disadvantages of the society of Vienna is that the nobles and men of letters do not mix together. The pride of the nobles is not the cause of this; but as they do not reckon many distinguished writers at Vienna, and people read but little, everybody lives in his own particular coterie. LONDON SOCIETY FOR TEACHING THE BLIND TO READ.—Yesterday evening (Good Friday), a on behalf of the above charitable society, Rwaevs.p_sre.a_chae..d. at St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, by the W ap U pe Cad man. After a very eloquent and im a p r r m es l al. during which the reverend gentlemanaswmade, y siv a e slvocated the cause of the charity, a collectio_neisvides severamounting in the aggregate to 291. 2s. ad., b subscriptions. SUN, AL SOC: lETY FOR THE PRO TECTION OF LIFE FROM FIRE. Wednesday a. general meeting of this society was the Coot sell Chamber, Guildhall, for the purpose ing the I.• spot e, of the committee for the past year, ,ributing met leis and rewards. . chair was ec aupied by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, who (Tensed the proceedings by pointing out the strong claims whi ch the society had on the general sup port of the commilt ity. The SECRETARY' then read the report, from which it appeared that duri qg the past year three new stations for the " fire escapes "' had been established, thus making in all twenty-five, at distances varying from half to three-quarters of la mile from each other, all main tained solely by' the society, with a conductor at each throughiout the night. The number of fires attended silece the re-establishment of the society in 1843 'was 548, and the number of lives saved by means of the society's, escapes, was 48. The report further stated that the funds were less than the expenditure by al iou t 2001., and urged the friends of the society to increasisd exertions so as to place the machi nery and operations in such a state of efficiency as the committee deemed essential to the proper development of ti n , objects of t tie institution.—(Cheers.) DAVID W. WIJIE, Esq., moved the adoption of the report. lie said .he perfectly agreed in the judicious remark of the Load Mayor, that it was a sacred .duty that devolved on every man to do everything in his power for the preservation of human life under the sudden calamities of fire.—(llear, hear.) Clustered as they were altogether in a large city, with narrow and confined thoroughdares, no human foresight or pru dence could guard against that destruction which the carelessness of a neighbour or the slightest inadvertence might in a moment inevitably envelop them. —(Hear, hear.) It was hardly necessary, then, to argue that those who devised a means of escape from such hor rible calamities deserved well of their country, and were entitled to the cordial and unanimous support of the community.—(Cheers.) lie did think, however, that such an institution stiould not be dependent on the casual bounty of the public, but that it should be made a branch of their social economy, and attached either to the police or some other puLdic establishment, by which the facilities of its application and increased usefulness might be obtained.—(Hear, hear.) Until, however, the public were fully impressed with a sense of its advan tages, and that a law was passed to compel parochial authorities to adopt it, it was highly necessary that this society should be maintained in a state of effi ciency. There was this difference between this society and the Royal Humane Society, that in the latter the accidents occurred generally when the parties were awake and vigilant, and means of rescue were ready and at hand, whereas in cases of fire the calamity almost always took place in the stillness of the night, when all were asleep and unprotected. He trusted that an appeal would be made to the Corporation to take up this subject, and that the Corporation would go to the Legislature and ask them to make it compulsory on parochial authorities and other public bodies to adopt means of escape from fire.—(Cheers.) Mr. BACON seconded the motion which was adopted unanimously. The LORD MAYOR then proceeded to the distribution of silver medals, certificates, and small rewards to various parties who had been instrumental in rescuing human beings from destruction. Mr. Luke Prettyman , o f 49, Poultry, was presented with a silver medal for rescuing the life of his servant at the risk of his own. A poor girl, named Mary Cromer, was presented with a certificate and 11. for heroic and intrepid oonduct., in bringing a child out of a room on fire. Her own night dress and hair were burnt in the endeavour, and she had suffered very considerably by her humanity. Mr. HOLT drew the attention of the Lord Mayor and the meeting to the case of this poor girl, who was at present out of a situation. He hoped that something might be done for her. The other parties presented with rewards and certi ficates consisted chiefly of police constables and the company's servants, each of whom was addressed in a feeling and complimentary manner by the Lord Mayor, and encouraged to further acts of courage and hu manity. George Abbot, sen., and George Abbot, jun., were presented each with a silver medal, for saving the life of Mrs. Ryan, at Enfield. SAMUEL UNNYIN, Esq., then moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting, deeply impressed with the in creased usefulness of the institution, was desirous of re cording its opini on th at i t merited general' support both from individuals and from parochial and other public bodies, in order to in crease i ts ef fi c i ency for the preser vation of human life. Mr. Deputy BEDFO/tD seconded this resolution, which was adopted unanimously. Mr. RICHARD TAILOR proposed the next resolution, recommending the adoption of a respectful application to the parochial authorities in each parish of the City for subscriptions, to be continued annually at the vote of each vestry. Mr. HoLT seconded the resolution, which was agreed to, as was also a vote of thanks to the Vice-Presidents and Committee for the past year, with a respectful soli citation to continue their services. Thanks were then voted by acclamation to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated. BRITISH ORPHANS FROM PARIS. On Thursday a general meeting, t,l the subscribers was IKld at the Fetna'e Orphan Asylum, in Westmin ster*idge-road, for the purpose & f taking into comae ratien a tommuldeati(bn Which had tacn r ceived hem 'bad Astiley, under these circumstances:—lt appeared that, previous to the late revolution iu France, there was an a• ylu , n in Paris for orphan children burn ,Earpis ? in connexion 'with the Episcopal 'hurcti\of which Reverend Mr. Lovut was the pastor. The asylum was entirely supported by the 13riti,h residents at I'aris ; but the greater number of the English having left that capital in consequence of the late events, the resources of the asylum were altogether cut off, and the orphan children, fifteen hues and nine girls, were compelled to leave. The Society for the Assistance of Distressed Workmen sent from France, of which Lord Ashley is chairman, defrayed the expense of bringing the children to England, and on Thursday last a letter was addressed by Lord Ashley to the committee of the as luin, rcquestiug that the orphans removed from France, under the circumstances stated, should be provided for in the asylum. As, according to the rules, all orphan children are admitted by election at stated periods, as is usual in such institutions, a general court was apes eially e:tlled for this day, to take the case communicated by Lord Ashley into consideration. The chair having been taken by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and the circumstances under which the meeting was called having been mentioned, it was communicated that upon inquiry, it had been ascer tained that the children had for the present been pro vided for, tome of them having been received into other charitable institutions, and that therefore it was unne cessary to take the letter of Lord Ashley into consider ation. His Royal Highness expressed his gratification at the c l lar communication ci r c st a w n r c h e i c s h had orthese been h es epo o m r ade. orphan a nUnder children, he phee should certainly, had it been necessary, have rendered every assistance towards obtaining their admission into the Asylum. As he understood, however, that the claims of the destitute children of their own poor were very pressing, he was glad that the necessity had not arisen. After some conversation on the subject which the meeting had been called to consider, it was moved and unanimously agreed to, that the cordial thanks of the meeting should be given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge for his kindness in attending to take the chair, and for the interest he had expressed in the object which had called them together. The Duke of Cambridge having returned thanks, tho meeting separated. ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT. FREEDOM OF INDUSTRY—JUST TAXATION. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) Whatever other effects the recent extraordinary movements on the continent, and the " demonstra tions" nearer home may have upon the minds of our ministers and legislators, we trust this conviction will take root, that the time is arrived when the enforcement of economy, the liberation of industry from her shackles, and the reduction and equitable adjustment of our fiscal burdens must be set about in an earnest and most determined spirit; and that atten tion to these subjects must not at all slacken the zeal of those who can add, for the public adTantage, all the ffood to be derived from an improved monetary and banking system. The people appear to us to be bent upon cheaper events, government.nt. On all hand s, amon g st tax-payers, re a a An perceptibly n, re trenchment, amounting to p ainful frugality, is obliged to be submitted to ; and the nation will not tolerate mu ch longer, a co ntinually increasing, but on the cannot country—at n b t e r Y— endurable in this count r y . made t ts dicontraryniinishinwgilslcdaelme aonfd,Gaonvderinnmsisetnt expenditure.upon i mpov erished com munit y and a p rodi g al state ought We rejoice, therefo such neve r a to m c oexist ne condition xist inf thingsthesame c re, that an incre ased amount of attention to matters vitally affecti ng _ the commerce of ou r merchants, the wellbei ng of the landed interest, the trade of the manufact urer, working classes, is from d ay and the labour of the to day manifested by influential and energeticen. men. At a preliminary meting,held in this town on Mr. Friday last, a t w hi c h M Robertson Gladstone pre sided, a n um b er o f gentlemen laid down the following basis, upon which to establish an institution to be called " THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION." The objects of the association will consist in directing public opinion to the following principles:- Ist. A General Retrenchment in the National Expen diture. 2,1. The Revision of the Assessed Taxes—of the Malt 'Fax, and of the Excise and Stamp Duties. 3d. The Transfer to Direct Taxation of those Imposts which interfere with the industry and limit the subsist ence of the people. 4th. The Equitable Apportionment of all Needful Taxation. Already the names of many gentlemen have been received to be enrolled in the list of members of the association ; there is no party object to serve ; " rem THE GOOD or ALL" might be the motto : and we trust that all will unite in giving vigour and ellicienoy to its operations.
