The great majority of " hereditary " or " elected " legislators know but little of shipping, of ship owners, or of sailors ; they do not speculate in freights, or undertake maritime specula tions. They might be charged with having arrived at an erroneous and impolitic decision, but the purity of their motives could not be assailed ; no charge of selfishness could be preferred if the code should still be maintained in all its stringency. An adherence thereto might, therefore, have been regarded with greater indulgence than if they had been more directly interested in the result. Many wealthy Peers and Commoners might be induced to persevere in their opposition to the mea sure, who for very shame sake could not offer so determined a resistance to enactments demanded by the entire community, and by the passing of which they might suffer serious pecuniary losses. Several votes might have been influeLced in the existing state of affairs by such a consideration. But the argument chiefly relied on by the opponents of the Bill was the probable results of the abrogation of these laws on the maritime defences of the nation. The " wooden walls of England" would then, indeed, cease to afford protection to our shores ; " the honour of the British flag would fur the first time be tarnished ;" " the sun of England's glory would set for ever ;" and " a gloomy darkness would succeed the brilliant light that had so long shone with a clear and steady lustre." Such were the vaticinations uttered with grave aspect and in por tentous tones. The high authority of ADAM SMITH 1 was adduced to show that " the Act of Navigation was one of the wisest of the commercial regulations of England," and that " opulence was of greater importance than wealth," was repeated in every pos sible form. Many enthusiastic free-traders were de ceived by these prophecies, and induced to sanction the continuance of a code which their reason condemned. The cause of truth and justice has, however, triumphed, notwithstanding those difficul ties. Sagacious and prudent counsels have at length prevailed, and we may now congratulate the nation on the removal of the last remnant of mono poly and exclusion, and the establishment of our national trade on a basis of perfect freedom, without restriction or impediment.

Of this we are the more particularly satisfied, from the knowledge that the masses of our countrymen have no very great appetite for those " political crotchets and international vagaries" which yesterday passed under the incidental sarcasm of the Hun. Gentleman the representative of the county of Buckingham. However ingenious may be the arguments of the Member fur the West Riding, they failed to persuade the House of Commons that the acceptance of his motion would be other than a subject of scorn and ridicule to every nation in the European conti nent. Surely we don't want Mr. Counzres assurance that war is wrong to satisfy our judgment upon a point which, eighteen centuries ago, was decided by the divine and inspired pen of the Evangelist. The blessedness of peace among nations, as among families, is too self-evident to require any illustration that can be gathered by the members of the Arbitration Society. TiIEATIM ItOYAL.

To conclude with a favourite Melodrama, entitled THE WHITE FARM. Both the Hon. Gentleman who frittered away the time of Parliament last evening by introducing his very amiable but very absurd, because very im practicable and visionary scheme, and the sup porters of the Honourable Gentleman, have com mitted a most extravagant blunder in supposing that the Houses of Legislature have to be schooled k v them, forsooth, in the doctrines of Christianity. Why, there was not a man with two grains of com a:ion sense who had not long ago known and ac knowledged that war was a grievous and perilous necessity, contrary to the impulse of every humane feeling, and in direct opposition to the dictates of religion. Mr. COBDEN is marvellously mistaken in imagining that the world waited to be enlightened upon this subject by himself and his coadjutors. The world knew it years and years (and the truth bad been discovered and proclaimed ages and ages) before he was born. The whole project, however, being one vast fallacy, one preposterous day-dretim, it has been appropriately based upon this preliminary blunder. Another monstrous error which the Peace Society seem - to be very solicitous to promulgate is this, that no one but themselves and their sympathizers can entertain a proper appreciation of the horrors of blood. shed, that no person opposed to their idle and im possible aspirations can be sincerely and conscien tiously solicitous for the general pacification of man kind. This impudent pretensio❑ we altogether and at once repudiate. And we insist upon the truth which has lung since been condensed into an axiom that virtue does not exclusively belong to those who announce themselves to be its po>sessors. Because a man does not choose to make himself ridiculous by joining in the demonstrations of some eccentric phi lanthropists at Exeter Hall, he is not surely on that account to be regarded as a bloody-minded indivi dual, gloating over the returns of the killed and wounded received at one moment from Hungary, at another from Jutland, at another from the Italian peninsula. Neither is a Member of the House of Commons to be abhorred as a hater of his kind—a sort of compromise between TIMON and SAWNEY BRAlN—simply because he votes against some fanciful project introduced by the Hon.

Why, we warrant him, the noble science of self defence would be very soon in the ascendant. The military tacticians would be succeeded by the heroes of the Ring I Mr. BENJAMIN GAUNT might hope to replace the Duke of WELLINGTON at the Horse Guards. %Ve should find Mr. Thomas SPRING gaaetted vice the Right Hon. Fox Matrix, and Signor BENDIGO in lieu of the Marquis of ANGLESEY. JOHNNY Baooms might hope one of these days to be Governor of the Tower, and OWEN SWIFT aspire to become Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. Deprived of all other means of perpetuating contention, men would fly to any accidental instrument as a weapon of self defence or of vengeance. Turn, in proof of this, to the popular outbreaks of the French. Look at the revolution . o f F e b ruary. We are told by the historians of that great movement that when the populace were streaming in multitude's through the streets in the direction of the Tuileries, for the purpose o f storming the palace of so many sovereigns, they were armtd not merely with swords, and muskets, and daggers, and knives, and pistols, but that among the combatants hundreds were recognised with all descriptions of outlandish weapons. One man, says Mr. WA LTER KELLY, in his narrative of the " Days of February,. was seen carrying a rod torn from some area railings fromingsand sharpened to a point, the surface still g listening its recent application to the grinding stone. Another, says he, bore a huge block of granite pendant from a cord. Another toiled along under an immense plank, to be used ai a battering rain. Another had no better contrivance than a piece of steel wire, heated, to be employed as an instrument for puncturing. Besides these, there were numbers of children, the enfans de Paris, carrying stones, gathered in their caps and ' pockets. This, be it remembered, was for war in the streets ! And 3et we are told by Mr. COBDEN and his colleagues to disband our army, to do away with our navy, and to set about esrablishing an universal system of Arbitration 1 If History, past and present, assures us, as it does, that it is impossible to pre vent fighting within the frontiers of one country, does it stand to reason that this system of general international arbitration is in the smsllest de gree feasible ? No : before the Peace Society can work this sublime miracle they must effect a complete change in human nature. They must eradicate from the breast of man all evil pas sions, all hatred, all envy, all rage, all revenge, all cruelty, all cunning, all impetuosity; they must po pulate the earth not with fallible beings like ourselves, but with infallible ; they must improve upon the LONDON, WEDNEBOAY, JUNE 13, 1849. The Navigation Bid is now virtually the law of the LH. It was read the third time last night in the Hou-e of Lords, i s noble opponents contenting them selves with merely reiterating the objections they had already put fil-ward at considerable length against the measure, but without going through the useless form of a (livi,ion, from which (as was candid'y admitted by the Protectionist Leader) "it was im pOssible to anticipate a different result from that which followed on a former occasion." A clause, subsequently moved by the Bishop of OXFORD to be added to the Bill by way of rider, to the effect that Brazil should be excluded from the advantages afforded to other nations by the measure, was ultimately rejected by a uttjority of 14, and nothing now remains but that the It ,yal assent should be formally declared, and the unwise and impolitic restrictions established under the Protectorate in 1651, and confirmed, with some slight modifications, in 1660, under CIIAICLES IL, will be at once, and, we trust and be lieve we may add, for ever abolished. The beneficial re,ults of a free and unfettered com merce are now thoroughly appreciated. The spe cious fallacies of protection have ceased to impose upon the nation, and although interested parties may still ascribe the evils under which the country has suffered to the removal of the monopoly, by which the industrious classes have so long been taxed for the benefit of a privileged few, they can no longer hope to deceive the people, or to produce a reaction in favour of their narrow and shortsighted views. Some degree of hope, however, exi-ted while the navigation code remained on the statute-book. So long as the unnecessary impediments to free inter course with any nation remained—so long as it could be asserted that any class were still protected that any duties were imposed for purposes other than those relating to revenue— a lingering hope remained that the " good old times," as they were pleased to call them, of high prices, might be restored. If our merchants were prevented from transporting, without let or hindilince, the commodities which they were entitled to purchase in an y country, it could not he said that commerce was really free. If the principle of buying in the cheapest, and selling in the dearest market be really well founded with respect to articles of con sumption, no valid reason could be assigned why the doctrine should not also be - applicable to the car riage of those articles, and to the vessels in which they might be borne from one p)rt or country to another. By retaining, therefore, an exclusive system with respect to ships, it might eventually be re-established in every other respect. There were certain grounds on which the naviga tion•laws might be maintained which did not apply to the corn-laws. In the first place, it could not be expected that the Members of either House of Paths- LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1849. Lond. &S. Western...... 50 - Do..

MARKET NEWS -t THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHAN6 - E-WEDNESDAY A slight increase has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, since Monday; yet the show of samples today was again small. Although the attendance of buyers was limited, the demand fur all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at fully Monday's quotations. The import of Foreign Wheat. has been confined to 2,530 quarters, acid the number of vessels off the coast grain -laden is small. All descrip tions were in moderate request, and prices ruled firm. No English Barley on show, but the supply of Foreign was large. Grinding sorts were quite as dear. Other kinds ruled dull. The sale for Matt was again inactive, at last week's currencies. We had au extensive supply of Foreign Oats on offer; hence, the Oat trade ~a$ heavy, at the late decline in value. In Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, scarcely any business was transacted.

Non Ang li sed Angell. A witty essayist may undertake, in a spirit of jocoseness, to disprove the accuracy of old adages, as was done so merrily by our immortal " Elia." But Mr. COB DEN will find it rather tough Rork to attempt any thing of the kind with the heavy weapon of political argument. The scimitar of SALADIN was required to sever the gauze veil. The broadsword of Coeur de Lion was effectual only upon some obstacle more massive. So will it be with the present adventure of the Peace Society. Si vis pacem, para bellum, will survive all their attacks. Let them remember, moreover, the fate which attended the venerable 'Leader of the Pickwickians, when he endeavoured to illustrate the advantages, first of arbitration, and then of mediation—his philanthropic interposition between Mr. POTTS and his antagonist being re compensed on the one hand by flagellation with a kitchen shovel, and on the other with the descent of a carpet-bag on his " organ of benevolence," the said carpet-bag being rather un pleasantly stuffed with a very hard hair- brush in one corner. So much we fear awaits all those simple hearted gentlemen who revel in the practicability of Arbitration. The members of the, Peace Society had better " look out" for the movements of the carpet-bag and the shovel, especially if they intend to hold their next congress at Paris! MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was steady and closed firmly, but without animation. The sales were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 5,000 American at 3id. to 61d., 1,100 Pernams, &c. at 41d. to 5d., and 300 burets at 31d. to 310.. per lb. Railway shares were rather better. In the Corn Market there has been no alteration of moment. Accounts from Belgium represent the grain crops as presenting a most luxuriant appearance. The rye was strong and full, the wheat thick and rigorous, and ap parently of excellent flavour, owing to the night dews and the dry days. The potatoes also are well sp ken ot, and this, with the large supplies of corn on hand, in duces the opinion that prices will be much lower for corn before the next harvest. The quantity to be ob tained from St. Petersburgh, Odessa, New York, &c., is considerable. The Amstt4dam market was firm on Monday for Dutch Securities, bus Mexican and Peruvian were lower. Aeßerlin, on the 9,h, there was no variation generally. The market was good. The Frankfort Bourse on the 9th was steady. The Five per Cent. Austrian bonds were at 73. The letters per Canada steamer were delivered yester day afternoon, :end confirm generally the outline given under this head. Trade was in some respects rather dull, but this may be a pause after the large imports to meet the anticipated Californian demand. At the latest date. however, the imports were much smaller than at the corresponding period of last year, or indeed of any period for the last three years. That the wants of Calitornia will be great we have not the slightest doubt, and it is equally certain that there will, in the course of a few mouths, be much prompter means of sending remittances in return, the chief drawback hitherto, and the cause ot that pressure in the American Money Market which has subsided only upon the arrival of bullion from England. There is a great deal said about the Cotton crop in the States, but the conclusion we come to -after a perusal of the various ace-tints is, that although it may be a week or two behind hand, there is no fear of the yield not being adequate to the consumption of Europe. Trade in Canada ruled very dull. The accounts from New Grenada are more favourable, and great anticipations were formed of the result of the administration of the new Governor, General Lopez. Venezuela, on the contrary, seems to be retrogra6ing. There is reason to hope that the civil war in St. Do mingo will now be early brought to a close, President Solouque having sustained a signal defeat. The Port au-Prince market was necessarily very dull. The Severn had arrived at Mobile from Vera Cruz and brought advises from the city of Mexico to the 14th May. The ministerial crisis in the city of Mexico, has passed. After the refusal of Senor Munos Ledo, it was proposed to confide the portfolio of Foreign Affeirs to M. Larrainzar, but having met opponents in the body of the Cabinet, it was aban doned. The choice was then fixed on Senor Penny I'eua ; but having been numbered among the traitors of his country in favouring peace, his confirmation was refused by the Chamoer of Deputies by a vote ot 38 to 35. The Deputy Don Jose Marin Lacuuzs was then proposed, and his nomination to the portfolio of Foreign Affeirs was confirmed by the Chamber of Deputies, thus completing the Cabinet. M. Arrangoiz had submitted a plan for liquidating the national debt, which amounts to dollars 138,000,030. In the neighbourhood of Jalapa new mines had been discovered which were about to be worked. The Mexi can Boundary Commissioners acre expected to occupy about twelve months in their labours. The effect of the settlement is not yet over in the Stock Market, but as the Bears have nearly brought their accounts to a close, the quotations are left with- out artifiefil support. Consols have been 92i to 921, with the dividend and fur money. Bargains for the opening have been made at gut to 9(1 ex div. Bank St ck has touched 1941 to 195. Excnequer-bills are 455. to 48s. premium ; and India Bonds 68,. to 71s. The New Three-and-a-quarter per Cents. have been 91i to 91i. The prospect of the Stick Market atipeur to be good, and the ultra-R.publicaus at Paris are not expected to gain the ascendancy, while there is an impression that when the French succeed in entering It. me, which eventually they are fully exp, cted to be able to do, they will show that the satisfaction of their amour propre - was the chief point aimed at, and that having yin icated their military honour, they may be di.•posed to be very liberal, and leave the Romans to act freely in e4tabbshing a new form of government. This, white keeping the Austrians in check, would have a very good eff,ct generally. The arrangements for adjusting the Foreign account are in progress today, the settlement taking place to morrow, Spanish Five per Cent. Stuck has been 165 to 16k, and the Three per Cent. 334 to 334. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 27i. Dutca Two and-a- Halt per Cents. have touched 5u5. Mexican Bonds are 295 /. with the Coupons. Grenada 16 to 4, and Bra -78. Peruvian Four per Cents. are 51 to 525. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received a letter dated Mexico, May 12, from Mr. W. P. RJoer tson, who states that the negotiations at e proceeding favourably for the appropriation of a portion of the American indemnity money, to the part payment of the overdue dividends, accompanied by an arrangement for the payment of a graduated interest on the principal sum due by Mexico to be hereafter agreed on, and Mr. Robertson speaks highly of Senor Arm:gods. Railway Shares generally are firm today, and in some cases higher. Midland, North-Western, and the Y►:rk lines are an exception, but Great Western, Brigh ton, and Eastern Counties are buoyant. 0.,,E CLcknING .'mot r., sir RlTltsti. 7 UNDs , )'CLOCsc.

Tho letter was taken from where it was secreted, by the head officer ut the department, and the prisoner was taxed with having conceal« d it for a felonious purpose, upon which he at once admitted that he bad intended to appropriate tho letter to an improper purpose. The prisoner denied having confessed that he intended to steal the letter, while several witnesses who had known him for years gav-) him an excellent character for honesty, sobriety, Stc.

Considerable force was obliged to be used before she could be made to let go her hold.

CRUELTY TO - ANIkALS. The Marquis of WORCESTER, in moving the second reading of this Bill, said he would occupy a very few minutes of the time of the House. The Bill was in troduced to improve the Act passed in 1835, which had been found difficult to carry out in cases where cruelty had been undoubtedly proved. It had, in fact, been found difficult to fix the saddle on the right horse. Many cases had occurred where servants had been em ployed in driving hackney coaches, omaibuses, and °tiler public vehicles with defective animals; but the fire under the existing law was inflicted upon the strrant and not the master, a ee tcf, which this Bill removed. Another obji ct of the Btil was to increase the tine from 40 to 51., and to facilitate the obtainment of evid,nce fir the proof' of ownership. In a case which occurred no later than Monday list, it was proved before a magistrate in Kent that some horses had been starved, but the ownership could not be made out accordin4 to law,- and the complaint was dismissed. H. was not aware that there was any particular diffi culty; he trusted the House would ,reed the Bill a second time, and any Opposition to it might be taken in Committee.—(Cheers.) Mr. HUME thought that they were just as likely to 'mystify as to simplify law by accumulating He wished therefore to know whither the Acts already in existence were not sufficient for the purpose. Ile asked the question, not that he was at all unfriendly to the Bill, but quite the contrary.—(Bear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said that this was nut a new Bill, but the amcnda.ent upon the present law was simply to sub stitute imprisonment for a pt cliniary penalty.—(hear.) The Marquis of WORCESTER—ExactIy so. Mr. HENRY wished to know whether there was any clause in the Bill to prevent steeple chasing. Mr. MACKINNON said that he thought he could answer the question. There was a clause to prevent horses from b ing over-driven. He thought that would meet the evil.—(Great laughter.) There were no ob jectionable detui,s in the 13ill, and the sooner it was read a second time the b, tter. Mr. BROWN inquired whether this Bill extended 4 .0 England and Ireland. The Marquis of WORCESTER replied in the ne gative. Mr. BROWN then said that in Committee he should move a clause for the purpose of extending its operatio❑ to Scotland. An floN. MEMBER rose and said that he should move a clause that it do not extend to Scotland. Mr. HENLEY thought that while promoting a good measure they should Lot do so inconsiderately, and thus obviate the very advantage which they desired to obtain. Sir G. GREY said that there was no new principle in the Bill. It had been very carefully considered, and though there were details which would require ame►.d• meat in Committk e, the Bill was upon the whole well adapted to accomplish the purpose it was intended to effect. The 13111 was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day we..k. COUNTY RATES AND EXPENDITURE BILL. On the second reading of this Bill being proposed, Mr. HUME said that he had intended to reserve his observations till the Bill was in a subsequent stage, but having rt ceived communications from several Mem bers, he thought it would be better to meet any objections to it in limine. By the Reform Bill the c , llection and expenditure of the rates in bo roughs had been altered, and a preliminary re port had been made by a Committee of the House appointed to consider the mode of amending the collec• tion and expenditure of the rates in counties. That was signed by Mr. Shaw Lefevre and two other Members, and it was decidedly iu favour of an alteration. Having always taken a strong interest in the subject, he had proffered his evidence be fore that Committee. He need not, it was true, have expressed any opinion upon the matter, but having observed the measure for regulating the rating in boroughs, and being desirous of obtain ing for those who paid the rates the right to regulate the ex,enditure of them, he had in consequence in 1836 in troduced a Bill with the knowledge and sanction of the Ministry of the day. The object of the Bill was to separate the financial from the judicial administration of every county. He proposed to place the former under the direction of a board composed of persons elected by those who hail the best right to select them, the rate payers. The judicial administration he proposed to leave to the magistrates, who had been appointed by her Majesty. This Bill was read a first time, but it appeared some opposition was offered to the Bill by the County Members, and while he (Mr. Hume) was moving the second reading the Noble Lord at the bead of the Go vernment walked out of the House. The Bill differed from the one introduced in 1837 in this respect: instead of having a new election of the members to form the board, it had b een represente d to hi m b y several pu b lic meetings in Lancashire that, as the guardians of the different unions were a representative body, the board might consist of a member from each union, and certain county magistrates who were to have ex officio seats, and he had introduced a provision in the Bill to that effect. It the house assented to the principle of the measure he would move that it be referred to the Cora- mittee up stairs, and if that Committee thought fit to increase the number of magistrates to one-half of the guardians, he should have no objecti , .n alter the Bill in ghat re, psct. Con; matt eol 1848 concluded that the principle of the county rate was open to serious ob jection, on the ground that the charge was impostd by rrs ns who were not elected by the rate-payers. Nu tax of such magnitude was laid upon any subject excipt by his representative, and if that were so surely the House would not consider it unreasonable to assent to the principle of the Bill, particularly - at the present time, when there was a general desire that some economy should be effect. d. There could be no doubt, if an ex ception to all rules connected with the administra tiou of public money in this country existed, that it called for some immediate alteration. Taking the two periods of 1792 and 1833, he found that the county expenses had increased in the following pro portion:—Construction of bridges, from 42.0001. to 74,0001.; houses of correction, from 92,0001. to 177,0001; maintenance of prisoners, from 45,0001. to 127,0001; , prosecutions, from 34,0001. to 155,0001.; constables, from 659/ to 2.680 Z; salaries of officers, from 16,000/. to 51,0001.; vagrants, from 315,000/. to 708,00 A Now what was the total increase whiai had taken place? In 1835 the total amount of tie county expenditure in England and Wales "as 693,000/., and in 1847 the, county rates ware 1,100.0001., b , jog an increase of 74 , per cent. To show the importance of the question it was necessary he should show what had been done to relieve the county rates of the heavy charge that had been thrown upon them. In 1835 the expenses of prosecutions at assizes were 80,0001, the expenses of conveying prisoners 30,000/., and of the Poor-law Com mission 42,0001., making a total of 153.0001. paid in 18 ,5 from the Consolidated Fund. Ia 1836 the amount paid was 94,0001. Parliament bad paid. in 1837, 154,0001; in 1838, 173.0001. ; in 1839. 179,000/. ; in 1840, 205,000/ ; in 1841, 236,0001; in 1842, 105 000/.; in 1843, 220,000/; in 1844, 235,0001.; in 1845, 219,000!.; in 1846. 379,000/. ; in 1847, 530 000/, ; in 1848, 542 000/ ; rendering an aggregate of 3,532.000/. which Parliament had relieved the counties of against he county rates, as between the 74 pPr cent., according to the statement he had given. He asked whether this was not the time to establish some control over those matters? He could not understand why there should he any objection to this Bill, for it must be the interest of every landed proprietor to have the rates and payments paid to the country as light as possible.—(Haar, hear.) The ques tion tben,arose, whether the existing mode was the b st that could be adopte , l, and whether it was fit that, undee such a great increase that system should be continu d, or whether the House should adopt seine plain principle of taxation and representation, although not to the toll extent it was desirable to do.—(Hear, hear.) That was the object of the Bill which he now brought forward. lie thought there was a general de sire among the county Members to see a better system. Some counties had adopted finance committees to - attend to the expenditure.—(Hear, hear.) Now that might be very well for county Members, but it did not give sean faction to the ratepayers generally. He therefore hoped the House would support him in the second reading it the Bill, which merely affirmed the principle, and lett the details to be dealt with subs , quently. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said the Hon. Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) contended that a board should be appointed to revise and audit the the county taxation of the country. Now he decidedly objected to the introduction of such a pri ciple,_ as he believed the counties of England periectly capable of managing their own expenditure. He wished it to be understood that great misapprehension existed as to the powers of the magistrates with resp ct to the expends tore of the committees with which they were connected. The object of the Bill, the Hunourable Mem ber said, was to reduce the expenditure to the utmost. Now, with respect to the county with which he was connected (Surrey), he must be permitted to say that he bad carefully looked over the accounts of the treasurer, and he was convinced that there was not an item charged in it that could be saved. The Poor law Commissioners, had, it was true, reduced the expenditure in many cases where it appeared to him they should not have done so —he meant the fees of medical men, and the expenses incidental to their attendance, the con s( quence of which was the poor were not, properly attended. He quite agreed with th e Hon. 'Gentleman that the county expenditure had increased, and in the county in which he bad so long resided gaols had been erected in opposition to the wishes of the magistrates by those whim the Honourable Gentleman supported in that House. Three gaols had been erected within his memOry, and they were about to be put to the expense of erecting a new one. They could not help it, for the magistrates had no option in the matter. Theo, not long ago, after the gaols had been fitted up in acc.)rdance with a ce , tain plan, an order come down from UI4E - Tome-office directing that they should give the prisoners chocolate for breakfast—(Laughter) —and great expense was entailed upon them in the erection of new kitchens.

The articles of sale were, of course, chiefly of drawing -room manu facture, laborious teats of Berlin work preponderating among the prints, trinkets, and ornamental nicknacks with which the tables were loaded. Tho band of th e ' Scotch Fusiliers were in attendance, and played s variety of exhilarating airs, aided by the boys of the Scotch School, who marched in battalions round the place, and regaled the hearers with pungent tunes on the, bagpipe. The arrangements for the fair were admirably planned and excellently carried out, and reflect the highest credit on Mr. Thomas Belshaw, of Manchester, to whose judi cious superintendence th e y were conf i ded. ' The asylum was to have been opened by the Duke ce Cambridge; but his Royal Highness was unfortu nately unable, through indisposition, to fulfil his pro mise. The ceremony, therefore, was performed by the committee, followed by a brief address by th e honorary secretary, the Rev. D. Laing. The building was then thrown open, and the visitors were allowed to saunter th roug h the rooms during tue remainder of the day, having every reason to admire the cornairts which the refuge provides for thos e who are unhappily in need of a home and protection. The a-ylum is a neat structure in the Tudor style, com prising some igh.esn or twenty bed-rooms, seven' of which are furnished ready for occupancy. There is large dining-room and a drawing-room, and a convenient basement of household offices. It is purposed, when the funds of the Asylum are in a sufficiently flourishing eat , to add a couple of wings, which will not only complete the architectural design, but multiply the opportuniti es of relief. • It is calculated by the architect," „y 3 the printed statement of the committee, " that 2001. will at any time secure the addnion of rooms for two more occupants. The eedowtnent required is 500/., or 151. per walum, I, gaily and I,ermariently 'secured ; and A definite oject is thus offered to donors." FOUNDERING.
