MOSES' prime dress for son or sire, • Is everything that we require. In MOSES' Clothes we may admire, All that a person can desire. • In vain does rivalry aspire To raise the summer garments higher, In estimation with the buyer. • All competition must retire, Nor ever dare to be a vier With Messrs. MOSES, near the spire. No 2.—HATS, &e. The famous Hats and Caps displayed At Messrs. MOSES' house of trade, Are really elegantly made. Many who near the shop have strayed, Admiring on the spot have stayed, The Hats of MOSES. when surveyed, Cast every other in the shade. Their shape is good, their nap well laid, From top of crown to edging braid, And when you view the prices paid, You'll never feel the least afraid, To lend E. M. and SON your aid. No. 3.—BOOTS AND SHOES. It is a fact which none deny— A fact on which you may rely— That MOSES' Boot and Shoe supply Stands foremost in the public eye. No matter how you test and try, You'll find these Boots and Shoes defy Whatever you mar judge them by. A pair I lately bought, and I, Am very glad I went to buy, For not a fault can I descry ; They suit alike both wet and dry, And raise the Mart of MOSES high. No. 4.—HOSIERY, SHAWLS. &c. The Shawl and Hosiery Depot, Whose numbers you will find below, By MOSES is conducted so, That thousands are induced to go; Their lib'ral favours to bestow. From what I've prov'd myself I know That, let you wander to and fro. You'll never meet with such a show, I therefore trust you'll not be slow In buying goods for prices low ; For much to MORES do you owe As instanced at their famed depot. LIST OF PRICES. AZAD? WADE.

"According to the scheme disclosed in this remarkable pamphlet, malls, merchandise, and passengers might be perpetually conveyed to and fro between England and her colonial territories , in. the two hemispheres without having to traverse the roads of Continental Europe (which roads might be rendered impassable at any moment by the outbreak of a general war), and without the necessity of having to double either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn, where the seas are as tempestuous as the voyages are circuitous; and the intercourse between Great Britain and her most distant and scattered possessions would not only be by this means less liable to interruption, but it would be infinitely more rapid, and, in every respect, more convenient. The proposed line of railway would link together the two oceans, the Pacific and the Atlantic ; it would stretch in a direct line across our colonies in North America; it would commence at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and would terminate at Frazer's River, pouring into the Gulf of Georgia; it would com municate by steam-vessels with the ports of the United Kingdom in one direction, and iu the other would promote a continual inter change of commodities and intelligence with Pekin, with Canton, with Australia, with New Zealand, with the Spice Islands, with Ceylon, with Madras, and with Calcutta. " The North American Railway from the Gulf of Georgia to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, running from Nova Scotia by St. John's through New Brunswic'r, across the St. Lawrence and Otawa, tra versing Upper Canada along the shores of Lake Huron and Lake liu perior, through the dominions of the Hudson's Bay Company to the south of Lake Winnipeg, over the chain of the Rocky Mountains to the coast of the Pacific confronting the island pf Vancouver—this enormous fine of railway would then be the first substantial em• ployment of that felicitous fact which has been intimated in the ex pression that the shores of the Pacific constitute the eud of the West and the beginning of the East.' " It would form ' the great link required to unite in one powerful chain the whole English race.' It would penetrate the enormous bar rier of the Rocky Mountains. It Would, in a particular manner, bind together the interests of England, of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, and the Canadas. It would present a magnificent field for the employment of gangs of convict labourers—criminals who by clear ing and encloshig lands, by constructing roads, and buildi ng b r id ges, would be withdraw n from the diabolical contaminations of the penal settlements, and would, unconsciously be instrumental to for warding the grand labours of civilization. " It would pass through regions 'rich in mines ofsllver and copper,' such as the vicinity of Lake Superior. It would draw into use the abundant timber of the Oregon, the plentiful coal of Vancouver's Is land, the iron, lead, and tin, the granite, slate, and sandstone, the oolites, the cattle, wool, hides, and tallow, the salted meat, the beef, the pork, the wheat, the barley, the Indian corn, the apples, and the rest of the nutritious vegetation which now flourishes uncon- Bunted in the length and breadth of the North American Continent. " Such is the noble project of a Colonial railway suggested by this patriotic pamphleteer " _ . Extract from THE SUN, 13th March. "On the 16th of February we directed public attention to a pamphlet, in the form of a letter, addressed to Judge Hallihurton, the immortal " Clockmaker"—a pamphlet in which a magnificent scheme is proposed for the connexion of the Pacific and the Atlantic by a railroad running through our North American possessions, through the Canadas, and through the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, beginning at the harbour of Ha litax, near Newfoundland. and terminating on Frazer's River, oppo , ite Vancouver's Island. Since then, it will have been ohserved by our readers that the author of that remarkable pamphlet, Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, has addressed a letter to ourselves, in which he disclaims any of that dogmatic egotism which is generally supposed to actuate the projectors of such colossal enterprises. The pamphlet of Major ,myth, previously printed for private circulation, and written without any siguature upon the title page, has, subsequently to the appearance of our re marks on the 16th ult., bem published in a complete and well digested form, accompanied by an Illustrative map from the hand of Mr. Wyl 1, the geographer. Now, that the plan may be regarded as fairly before the public, we cannot but take this, the earliest oppor tunity, of reiterating our previous argument, that the noble scheme suggested by Major Carmichael Smyth is one intimately associated with the present condition and the future destinies, with the glory, the greatness, and the prosperity of the British empire." Extract from the 13RITISII and ARMY DISPATCH, 16th February, before the Pamphlet was Published for General Circulation. " This pamphlet is from the pen of an officer of rank, whose long residence on service-In North America has enabled him to offer to the public some valuable suggestions on the subject of the extension of railway communication on that vast continent, in the furtber ex tremity of which new ground has lately been broken in the progress of civilization. The pamphlet purports to point out means for the employment of the people and capital of Great Britain in her own colonies, by undertaking a great national work, and thus opening the shortest road to the most extensive regions of wealth ever before at the command of any nation in the world (not regions of gold, but for commerce and industry), and opening to Great Britain a new outlet for the superabundant population of her soil, and new markets for her labour. With great minuteness and considerable local knowledge the author traces the means by which the far apart Atlantic and Pacific Oceans shall be made easily communicable, and urges that on that part of the line where the district labour and ca pital is sufficient, it shall be undertaken by the residents, and where population is too thin, the remedy can be supplied by English capital and convict labour. " The pamphlet is altogether well worthy of perusal by all who are interested in the progress a the great tide which is now so strongly setting ' westward.'" Extract from the BRIGHTON GAZETTE, Bth March. " One consequen^e of the recent discoveries in California has been the renewed and zealous discussion of various plan heretofore sug gested for opening a direct communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, instead of the present circuitous and hazardous route by Cape Horn. A general feeling seems to have hitherto prevailed in preference of a water line by the river and Lake of San Juan de Nicaragua ; and certainly, as compared with the Isthmus of Darien or that of Tehuantepec, there can be little doubt of ith superior eli gibility. But we think that the views developed in the able pamphlet of Major Carmichael Smyth will go far towards effecting a revolution in public opinion. For the United States the route above•mentioned may be a sufficiently desirable one ; but the author of this pamphlet contends—and therein he will have at least every Englishman on his side—that such a communication ought, if possible, to be made within the limits of our own territory. " In a question like this the advocates of Colonization must feel a strong interest ; for ' let England her Northern American, colonies, and the Hudson's Bay Company, oin heart and hand, and with the great power of steam which it has pleased the Almighty to place at the command of man, there will soon arise a work that will be the wonder and admiration of the age —and such a mercantile and ce ionizing road will be open to Great Britain, that at no ffiture period (at least within the imagination of man), will she ever again have to complain of too great a reputation on her soil, and too small a market for her labour." This Letter is addressed to the Clockmaker,' and who will not echo the exclamation of that distinguished writer— `Oh, squire, if John Bull only knew the value of these colonies, he would be a great man, I tell you—but he don't.' " Extract from the RAILWAY TIMES, March le. " There is work to be done—wealth to be opened up—men's bodies and souls to be saved—the press teens with suggestions, plain, practical, and operative—yet not a ray of intelligence, of apprehen sion, not a sign, not an expression indicative of activity, escapes from the chief of the Colonial-office, or his fussy, yet do-nothing, subordinates. " We shall revert to this topic in our next, and lay before our readers the able, invigorating arguments of Major Robert Carmichael Smyth, in reference to the subject of a British colonial railway cora.• munication between the Atlantic and Pacific.

HOUSE OF LORDS. REPRESENTATIVE PEERS OP IRELAND. The Committee for Privileges, amongst other mat ters which came before them, heard counsel and wit nesses in support of the claims of the following noble men for the privilege of voting for representative peers of Ireland : THE CLAIM OF VISCOUNT MELBOURNE. The Hon. F. PONSONBY appeared in support of this claim, and called Mr. J. Thomas, the solicitor for Lord Melbourne, who produced the patent conferring the Irish title, from which he read the date of the creation and the limitations. The witness then proceed to read the patent of the English peerage, when Lord BROUGHAM asked what the Learned Counsel was now about ? ' Mr. Pomo/sin - was giving proof of the, patent creating the English peerage of Lord Melbourne. Lord BROUGHAM—What did the Committee want with such a proof as that ? It was nonsense. What possible necessity was there to prove the Eng lish title? Mr. Portsomm—Only to show the limitations. Lord BROUGHAM—Nonsense. Why, any of their Lordships could prove the English title. Any of them could do that. His Noble and Learned Friend (the Lord Chancellor), who had summoned Lord Melbourne to that House, could prove that; or he could himself prove it. What occasion was there for the production of proofs of the title to the English Peerage at the bar of that House, when all of their Lordships could give the evidence ? But, what was the occasion for it in a matter where the English title had nothing to do with the claim which consti tuted the subject of their Lordship? presentinquiry ? That subject was one which -arose out of • the Irish Peerage, and not out of the English Peerage, of which the Learned Counsel was now seeking to give evidence. Lord REDESDALE—Yes, the,claim here was in right of the Irish title, and not of the English title. Mr. PONSONBY said that it had been his object to offer evidence td the Committee of the English title, and also of the fact that the present Lord Melbourne had been summoned to Parliament in the usual manner under that title. This latter fact he proposed to establish by putting in the writ of summons under the great seal. His object therefore in offering the patent of the English title was to show that the limitations in both patents were similar. Having done that he should then proceed to submit that he had tendered sufficient evidence to establish the claim of Lord Melbourne to vote for representative Peers of Ireland. He might probably be permitted by their Lordships to mention that a similar course to that which he now proposed to adopt had been acted upon last year in the case of the Drogheda claim. Lord REDESDALE remarked that there was a dif ference in the two cases, because, in the Drogheda claim his Lordship had taken his seat, whereas in the present instance Lord Melbourne had not done so. Lord BROUGHAM said—Yes, that was so. Well, what had they 'now to do with hearing evidence as to the English title ?—it was altogether "unnecessary. But where was the evidence that really was necessary ? Where was the proof of the death, where was the proof that the late Lord had died without issue, where was the proof that th ere was no son l e ft, an d where was the formal proof that the present claimant was the next heir ? All these proofs were necessary, and all these proofs he, in his own person, was in a con dition to give. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY was understood to re mind the Noble and Learned Lord that he had not been sworn. Lord BROUGHAM.—No; that was very true, so be could not give 'the proofs, and th ere was no house, and he could not then be sworn. The matter must stand over for the present, then. After the house had been made, the parties were again called to the bar, when Lord BROUGHAM asked if the Learned Counsel was prepared with the necessary evidence. Mr. PONSONBY was not in a position at the present moment to offer the proofs which his Lordship had required at an earlier part of the day, but if — Lord BROUGHAM—Yes, you have, Sir. You have myself. lam here prepared to give evidence. Mr. PONSONBY had understood that his Lordship had not been sworn, and therefore was not in a con dition to give evidence. Lord BROUGHAM—Yes, I have been sworn ; now I can give-the proofs you want. His Lordship then went on to give the necessary evidence, after which The claim to vote was declared to have been esta blished. THE CLAIM OF LORD BANGOR. This claim to vote for representative peers of Ire and was also established. THE CLAIM OF LORD BLOOMFIELD. The claim in this case was adjourned, because the parties failed to produce the patent or to assign any sufficient reason for its non•production. SUICIDE of an UNDERGRADUATE AT CAMBRIDGE. Yesterday morning a jury was empannelled in the Conabinatiou-room of Clare Hall College, Cambridge, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Edward Hayman, a sizar at that college. Elizabeth Barton, bedmaker to the deceased, de posed to finding him, at half•past four on Tuesday afternoon, lying upon the floor, bleeding from a wound in his throat. He was a very steady, exemplary young man. Mr. Hough, surgeon, stated that the deceased was in his bedroom, quite dead, when he was called in. On a high reading-desk in the sitting-room a sheet of writing paper, with blood on it, was found, bearing the words hastily scrawled, " Good bye, father. Thank you, dear Henry, for—." There was a pool of blood near this desk, and a pen stained with blood upon the table. A large pool of blood was observed near where the body was found, as well as on the dressing table, drawers, and looking glass in the bedroom. The de ceased had manifestly made a first attempt at the high desk, then wrote the paper, and, going to the bed room, accomplished his purpose before the looking glass. The incision was, probably, made from left to right, and a portion of it was jagged on the left side, when, in all probability, the first attempt was made. John Marshall Hayman, undergraduate of St. John's College, stated that he was brother of the deceased. He produced some correspondence between deceased and another brother in London, which went to favour the idea that the unfortunate young man had gone wrong in his mind on re li g i ous t op i cs. Witness then said, I saw the deceased on the Thurs day or Friday before he passed his " Little go." He came to my rooms on the Sunday evening before the examination, his object being to satisfy me that it was impossible for him to pass, and that he ought to have a medical certificate to excuse him. It is clear that he was then labouring under a delusion, because he went in, and, as I am informed, passed a most satisfactory examination, being well prepared in all the subjects. My brother's spirits had been very low during the last fortnight, and I frequently noticed an appearance about his eyes as though he had been crying. Thomas Mayer Nixson said, I was a friend of the deceased. In the middle of last week he sent his bedmaker to say he wanted to see me. I went to his rooms. He was undressed in his bedroom. He said he was very unhappy, that he had committed a great crime, and wanted some one to comfort him. He then said he had been guilty of gluttony the day before, and that he had smoked a cigar overnight in his rooms, for the first time in his life. I tried to laugh the matter off, and deceased said he wanted to be comforted and not laughed at. I could not persuade him that he had not committed a serious offence, and by his desire we went into the sitting-room, and there read the church prayers to gether, and some passages of Scripture. He seemed better. There was more evidence, but the jury here ex pressed themselves satisfied, and the coroner said he thought there could only be one opinion on the matter. The jury then returned an unanimous verdict of Temporary insanity," and the remains of the de ceased were confided to his brother for interment. The late Mr. Hayman was a young man of great promise. 'He entered Clare Hall in 1847 as Grecian from Christ's Hospital. He was the son of a clergy man in Somersetahire, and was about twenty-one years of ace, SALE OF TETE LONDON AND BLACLWALL RAILWAY ENOINEB.—At the Auction Mart, yesterday, Messrs.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI- NEERS. JOSHUA FIELD, EsQ., President, in the Chair. TUESDAYS, MAY 1 AND B.—At the first of these meetings the monthly ballot took place, when the following candidates were elected:—w. Wilson and R. Peacock, as members; and W. E. Bott, W. Sowerby, jun., and Captain H. James, R.E. as associates. The discussion on Mr. Crampton's paper, " On the construction of Locomotive Engines," was continued through both these evenings. The same tone of argument was kept up, and numerous instances were adduced supporting the views of both sides; but without arriving at any definite result, other than that it was desirable in all engines to lower the centre of gravity, in order to establish a great angle of stability, and to arrive at a ratio between the circumference of cylinders, such as whilst the greatest the driving wheel and the cubic content of the maintained, with an economical consumption of fuel, every facility should be afforded for starting rapidly, which was a point of importance on the one lines running frequent trains. On speed might be hand it was argued, that small driving d g er y % wheels were essential for quick starting; and on. the a given other hand it was contended, that with amount of evaporating surface in the bolter, the trac • a t a i t ve th p e o p w e e r r ip w h o e u ry ld be of the th circumstancesprovidedteel, given relative proportion existed 'between the cubic content of the cylinder and the circumference of the driving wheel, and that Irqe wheels reduced the e sam dr e iv u i n n wear and tear. The long disposed of . 'question of the stability of the long boiler engine% was again cursorily touched on and disposed of. The diminution, r;f the wear and tear of the sides of the brasses the engines, having the driving and the greatest weight u p on t h e ex wtrhemeeiltsiebse,hilier.a, p. ving a comparatively light load on the centr e W } '.eels, was adduced as a proof o f th e i r an engine of that kind having run twenty five li .., itr n j ou ' sand miles without any appreciable l a t era l whereas an ordinary engine on the sam e rail way,s7taPbr ; had worn away a thickness of a quarter of an inch whilst running the same distance. A short paper was read, describing a kind of per manent way, which had been somewhat extensively laid down on the Lancashire and Yorkshire and other Railways, in the north of England, by Mr. Hawkshaw, M. Inst. C. E. The principle was that of a bridge rail, weighing seventy-five pounds per yard, placed upon continuous longitudinal timber bearing, and the novelty consisted in having at each joint a malleable iron plate chair, with a projection on the upper surface, fit ting within the interior of the rail, and the flanches, which were fourteen inches long by eight inches wide, and half an inch in thickness attached to the rail by rivets in such a manner as to fix them firmly together, and yet to allow for the expansion and contraction caused by the variations of tempera ture. The details of the arrangement were very sim ple and complete, and it appeared to succeed perfectly, as in an extent of twenty miles of railway so laid, over which numerous heavy trains had ran daily, at considerable speed, for the last year, only three rivet heads were found to have been knocked off when re cently exami ne d. The paper announce d to b e rea d at t h e next meet ing of T ues d ay, May 15, was " On the Theory of Transverse Strain of Cast-iron Beams," by W. T. lloyne, Assoc. Inst. C. E. The President invited the members and visitors to contribute and to procure models for exhibition, at the annual Conversazione, which was announced for Tuesday, May 22. the eek end e d M ay 5. 1849: 14s. 5d. ; Coaching tr a ffi c, 1,077 1 .

The annual meeting of this society took place on Tuesday at Exeter-hall, the large room of *hich was crowded on the occasion. Lord ASHLEY presided, and at some length vindi cated the usefulness of the society. He stated that if the number of the clergy was three times as great as it was at present it would be wholly inadequate for the great work of evangiliaing the nation. Still they were not to despair, for, however great the difficulties by which they were surrounded, the generations that came after them would develop the beneficial results of their labours. He warned them that the fUture welfare of their nation and of Chris tianity and of the civilization of the world depended upon their conduct during the next ten years; for it was not by science, by arts, by mere secular know ledge or material progress, that the great Goliath of vice and ignorance rising up amongst them was to be mastered. lie believed there never was a time so full of hope as the present, and therefore he hoped that it would please God to bless the labours of this society, which he believed to be the very best that had ever been established in these realms, and the principle of which was, that through its efforts the poor had the Gospel preached. The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the receipts of the past year amounted to 32,0001., showing en increase on those of the pre ceding year of more than 6,0001. The expenditure had been 29,000/., thus leaving a surplus of nearly 3,0001.; but as the society during the previous year had exceeded its income by nearly 4,000/., a balance still remained against it of 1,0001. Yet the support which the society had received had been greatly in creased. Upwards of 200 clergymen had added their subscriptions to the funds, and 400 new lay sub scribers had contributed to the parent society, besides a still greater number to the branch associations. The society now aided 289 incumbents, intrusted with the cure of 2,094,521 people, making an average of 7,247 souls for each. These had an average in come of 2021., while 160 of them had no parsonage house. The society bud now erected or kept open 140 churches and chapels, and they defrayed the expense of 155 rooms licensed for the celebration of public worship. The report, which was a very lengthy document, gave a minute account of the society's operations throughout the year. Chancellor RAIKES moved that the report be adopted and printed, and in doing so bore testimony to the immense benefits conferred by the society upon the diocese of Chester. Mr. COLQUHOUN seconded the resolution, and expressed his conviction that the society dealt with matter which touched at the existence of the realm. He was told that the prosperity of the country de pended on the amount of its wealth and the extent of its population, but these were to the philanthropist subjects of the most serious alarm. He found there were circulated weekly throughout the country about 500,000 copies of penny publications, conducted by men of considerable ability, yaw attacked in the most vehement manner all the great institutions of the country, from the Throne downwards. Yet the poor, in the midst of all these incentives to outrage cast among them, and with great physical suffering and want to endure, were patient amidst all,—and why ? Because they knew that wealthy and earthly pros perity was not all nor the great objects of life, and that the present would was but an outdoor school, preparing man for th• great existence which awaited him hereafter. He was sure that the labours of the society were doing more for the permanent interests of the nation than all the efforts of legislation and statesmen. The motion having been put and carried, The Rev. Mr. Baooxs and other gentlemen ad dressed the meeting in support of other resolutions founded on the report, and after the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting terminated. - THE ASSAM TEA COMPANY. The following are extracts from the Directors' Re port on this subject : After a series of years of the most ruinous and dis astrous management, causing as it has done to the general directory the painful necessity of frequently expressing their dissatisfaction of the proceedings of the local board, a decided change has at length taken place in the aspect of our affairs, and the general directory avail themselves of this the first public op portunity of stating the gratification which they had felt from the improvement of the affairs of the com pany under the recent management of the local board in India. The general directory have long felt that results alone must be their main, if not their only, guide in estimating the cha racter and ability of persons who have the conduct of a business at so great a distance as India, and the present officers of the company in India have been the first to produce the only satisfactory results that have been shown since the commencement of opera tions in Assam. They have kept within their esti mates of expenditure—they have exceeded their estimates of produce—in a word, under the new system, the company has worked to a profit instead of a loss, and that upon an area of cultivation of com paratively insignificant extent. The estimate of expenditure in India for the sea son 1648 was in round numbers 10,9001.—the actual expenditure was 10,3001. The estimated crop was 175,0001bs.—the actual gross crop has been 210,0001bs.—the net crop will probably amount to 190,000 lbs. The gross crop of 1847, was 160,000 lbs., so that the increase in 1648 has been 50,000 lbs. More than half of the tea of 1848 has been realised, and has produced a gross average of nearly Is. 11d. a pound; the net average after de ducting lead, freight, insurance, sale charges, &c., being about Is. lid. a pound. The actual profit made in the past year, assuming the remainder of the crop to realise only Is. sd. a pound, has been about 3,0001. Out of our receipts for tea, we have been enabled to pay off 2,0001., part of the loan of 7,0001., which had been so long standing to the debit of the company, and the interest of which has been a heavy burthen. The assets and liabilities of the company in England at the present time, and an estimate of our financial position at the close of the manufacturing season of the present year, are shown in the annexed Tables, E and F, and it will we feel sure be very gratifying to the proprietors to find that we have every reason to believe that the operations of another year will enable the directors entirely to clear the company of debt, and give them funds to obtain the crop of 1850, so that the entire value of that crop may be uncharged. In answer to a proposal from the local board in India, that the company's operations should be ex tended, the London directors sent out instructions and remarks, of which the following are extracts : "But you must bear in mind, in any decision which the shareholders may come to, that it takes a long time, well-established facts, and very decided results, to restore confidence in the management of a concern which has been so recklessly conducted until lately, and to encourage a further outlay on the part of a proprietary who have already lost so heavily. " Having made these preliminary remarks, I beg to say that the general directory will bring the; sub ject fully before the proprietors at the ensuing general meeting. Their own opinion is, that the shareholders will decide to pause somewhat longer before they agree to any such an extension of the existing culti vation as would entail the necessity of a further con tribution, and that the time has not yet arrived when a further call even for that purpose could be made without causing dissatisfaction. " The subject, however, shall be attentively con sidered, and in the meantime you will bear in mind the importance of continuing to fill up the existing cultivation with seedlings, so as to bring it to the highest point of bearing." ROYAL FREEMASONS' SCHOOL FOE FEMALE CHIL DREN.—Last evening the sixty-fourth anniversary of the above charity was celebrated in Freemasons'-ball, when. about 300 of the brethren of the cra ft, attired in mason's costume, sat down to an elegant repast, at which the Earl of Zetland, most worshipful grand master, pre sided, supported by Lord Suffield, Lord Milford, the Hon. D. Dundas, W. F. Beaden, Esq., Alex. Dobie, Esq., &c. &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been duly honoured, followed by the accustomed courtesies to the chairman and officers, the Noble Chair man proposed the t oast of the evening, " Succ e ss to t h e Royal Freemasons' Female School," and stated that the institution was founded in 1788 by Chevalier Ruspini, Outof whose great be nevolence r educed him to com p ara tive distress, and that two of his grandehildrenw lril t hs T .a e d now in turned t t school,6oo children educated in in the institution ro a tpresen t 65 g ai virtuouso w u h t ob a d good that i:e girls. 50years, After t and drunk with great enthusiasm.

FEMALE EDUCATION IN INDlA.—Yesterday the firt annual meeting of the London Auxiliary Associa tion, in connexion with the Female Society of the Free Church of Scotland for female education in India, was held at the music Hall, Store-street; Charles Cowan, Esq. M.P., in the chair. The meeting was but thinly attended, and the majority of persons were females. The proceedings commenced with a long prayer, part of which was chaunted. The chairman having ex plained the objects of the meeting, a gentleman on the platform read a statement, which the secretaries hoped would be received instead of a formal report. It stated that during the year 601 had been subscribed on behalf of the association, and had been transmitted to the treasurer of the parent society in Scotland. When it was borne in mind that 3/. 12s. per annum was sufficient to provide fur the board and education of a girl at the so ciety's institution at Calcutta, and that 6/. per annum served for the entire maintenance of a girl at any of the stations in India; the promoters of the association bad no doubt that a larger number of ladies would be dls• posed to contribute to the fundi. Forty girls had been received as resident boarders at Calcutta, and twelve had been admitted into the Christian church by the rite of baptism. The convert girls, notwithstanding the temptations to which some of them had been exposed, were all kept steadfast in their Christian professions, The report (which concluded by announcing that 151. had been subscribed in addition to the 601. already men tioned) was adopted, and several resolutions were passed in furtherance of the objects of the society. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meet ing separated. THAMES ANGLING PRISERTATION SOCIETT.-..-The eleventh annual meeting of the members was held yes terday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, W. H. Whitbread. Esq. in the chair. Mr. H. Farnell, of Isleworth, read the report of the committee,which congratulated the sub scribers on the severe check given to illegal netting in the Thames ' and the consequent increase of fish of every kind. The last season for fi shing, whether for fly, trot ling, or bottom angling, was considered the most unpro• pitious 01 record. The prospects, this year, however, were more satisfactory, as it was generally admitted that the supply of fish of every description was most than dant. The preserves of the society were in a good state s as regarded the sunken boats, piles, &c., and as the sea- son advanced, additional protection would be afforded. The report having been received and adopted, a s a te r tt. ment of the society was read, from which i t e pze t a Z. thanks was passed to the commit t e e for the ir that there was a balance of 51 /. 91 . 1 I id. A exertions in behalf of the interests of the society. Mr. Perkins asarer re turned thanks. The chairmanpr opo sed vote of thanks These gentlemen having responded, a vote of thanks passed to the chairman, and the meeting se tre society.of the to was h parated. the h onora ry secretary an d T HE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of this society was held 'yesterday at Exeter hall, and was very numerously attended. Mr. Plumptre presided, and in opening the proceedin gs dil a t e d at con siderable length upon the turmoil and agitation which prevailed in continental Europe, and especially in Italy and the Papal dominions. lie exulted in the anticipa tion of the destruction of St. Peter's and the Vatican — events which he had seen announced as probable from the French intervention. He quoted circulars of the Pope from Gaeta, in order to show that the character of Roman Catholicism had not changed, and that Pius IX. still asserted his pretensions as the representative of our Saviour upon earth, and he concluded by predicting the speedy downfal of Popery. The report was then read by the secretary, Mr. Lord. It detailed the proceedings of the association during the past year; in the course of which 2,000,000 tracts had been distributed by it. Pro testant principles, it stated, were making rapid progress all over the world, and with a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether Popery would be smitten for ever.
