Then mighty tube that span'st the sea, At Menai's far-famed straits ; My wonder-stricken muse on thee With duteous honour waits. How mighty looks thy iron frame, While ocean yawns below ; Then wilt immortalize the name Of him who formed thee so. To Rhodes' huge colossal form, Successor thou shalt be; A monster mid'st the ocean's storm— The wonder of the sea. Well might thy builder's skill be praised, While 'mid our hopes and fears, Thy vast majestic tube was raised Upon its mighty piers. Enormous tube ! for such thou art, Thy form so vastly planned; Calls to my mind that princely Mart, Which Moses' raised on land. Nay 'do not scorn to be compared With Moses' vast Depot— A greater Mart was never reare d And I'm allowed to know. But what is giant bulk alone, When rightly understood ? 'Tis nought, unless some use is shown — Some end to public good. The Mart of Moses, like to thee, Was thus designed to act; And every article we see Establishes the fact. No equal bath there ever been To Moses' dress display ; And proofs of this thou must have seen Upon thy launching day. Didst thou not note, on either shore, The gentlemen attired In Moses' dress, which more and more, Deserves to be admired ? I noticed thorn : for there they were, In tens of thousands, too ; And oft amid the exciting stir, I turned me round to view. Great tube (and here I placed my band Slap-bang upon my heart) 3iay'st thou retain as firm a stand As Moses' noted Mart. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

MALTA, JUNE 17.—The India mails, due since the 12th, only arrived this morning. They contain no news of importance, except that they confirm the fact of the Ranee II escape, the romance of which is not a little singular. The Rosamond steamer is still in quarantine, having some cases of smallpox on board. A curious occur rence took place as she was leaving Alexandria. The High Admiral paid her a visit, and after some conversa tion requested to see a trial of a gun, giving as a mark the apex of a rock near the lighthouse, and distant one mile and a half; the gun was loaded and fired, and the rock blown to atoms. The Pacha was struck with wonder and astonishment; the British offered another prcof, but his Highness was satisfied. A private letter of the 12th inst., from Civita Vecchia, mentions that some .English sailors of her Majesty's steamer Bulldog, whose hawser was carried to the wharf, on landing during a very fresh breeze to examine it, were fired at by a French sentry, who, although his hail was replied to, ensconced himself behind a wall. No injury was fortunately done, and a picket from a French line-of•battle ship, lying alongside the 13alldog, landed, and prevent...a fnether damage—. On a romonstrance from Captain Kay the man was severely punished, and orders issued that the Romans, and not the English, were to be the objects at which the French might practice. • DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.

The Victoria and Albert Royal yacht was unclocked yesterday, and removed from the basin to the moorings opposite Clarence yard, to complete her refit. The Quail lighter, with stores for Plymouth and Pem broke, and the Goodwill, for Chatham, sailed yesterday. The Plymouth buoy-boat arrived from Devonport yesterday. Extract of a letter from her Majesty's ship Firefly, on the coast of Africa: — "The little Teazel . (small steamer, Lieutenant-Com mander J. 11. Selwyn) took one (a prize), on the 4th of March, in the Bight, with 650 slaves on board, after forty-eight hours' chase. She was a remarkably fine brig, under Brazilian colours, 316 tons burden. This gives her Lieutenant commanding between 8001. and 900 L—not a bad morning's work." ROYAL MARINES. The following Gentlemen Cadets passed examination on board her Majesty's ship Excellent yesterday for commission in the Royal Marine corps :—Messrs. Mason, Brookes, Erskine, Scott, Stevens, Thomas, Nightingale, Cobb, Clements, Boyd, and Burton. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. Captain Hamnett Parke, First• Lieutenant Draffen, 3 sergeants, 3 corporals, 1 bombardier, 1 fifer, and 85 gunners proceeded this day by railway to London for Gravesend, en route to Chatham, to be embarked on board the La Hogue steam guardship, fitting out at Sheerness. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 22.—0 n Tuesday, in honour of her Majesty's accession to the throne, the men•of-war and most of the merchant shipping, foreign and English, in harbour, were decorated with colours; the Royal Standard and other flags were hoisted at the Govern mental, municipal, and private establishments, and at twelve o'clock salutes were fired from the batteries at Plymouth Citadel and at Mount Wise. Her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, was taken into dock yesterday, to have her copper examined, The packet•ship American Eagle, Captain Chadwick, left the Sound on Wednesday evening for her destina tion, New York. As there have been some gross exag gerations in relation to the number of deaths among the passengers and the crew of the ship, we have ascer tained, by the best authority, that upon her leaving London, on the 31st of May, to her departure hence on the 20th of June, the total loss has been only 14—viz., five in the Channel, and nine in the Sound. Of the 14 fatal oases, five were German, and nine English and Of the nine deaths in the Sound, eight arose from sickness which commenced prior to the entrance of the ship into the harbour. On the morning of the 20th the sick on board her Majesty's ship Tyne consisted of three seamen convalescent from cholera, and one appa rently threatened with emall•pox ; one passenger con valescent of cholera, and one child sick with smallpox, which began on the 19:h. Just prior to the departure of the American Eagle, two seamen and a passenger were -sent on board the Tyne. The prompt and judi cious employment of a hulk as a hospital, and the skill and energy of the surgeon, Mr. Francis Fox, have rescued the passengers of the American Eagle from the great fatality which at one time threatened them. It is worthy of record that although three weeks since a large number landed here, and have been residing in Ply mouth Over since, not ono case of sickness has been re ported among those ashore. NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. _ On Friday morning last a naval court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, in Hamoaz- ' to try Mr. Edward Easterbrook, late boat swain of her Majesty's ship Spartan, 26, on the follow ing- charges:- 1. For that the said Mr. Edward Easterbrook, when boatswain of the 2d class of her Majesty's ship Spartan, was, on the 13th day of June, 1849, absent from his station, washing decks on board the said ship. 2. For that the said Mr. Edward Easterbrook, when such boatswain as aforesaid, was on the said 13th of June, 1849, absent at general quarters and inspection on board' the said ship. 3. For that the said Mr.. Edward Essterbrook, when such boatswain as aforesaid, was on the said lath day of June, 1849, on board the said ship in an unfit state to perform his duty, as such boatswain, in consequence of his not being sober. The Court was composed of Rear-Admiral Sir John Louis, president; Captain W. H. Johnstone, of the Agin court, 72; Captain Sir Thomas Mainland, of the Impreg nable, 104; Capta;n Charles Wyse, of the Queen, 110; and Commodore Wyvill, of the Castor, 36. William Eastlake, Esq., officiated as deputy judge-advocate. The authorisation of the holding of toe court-martial, and a letter from Captain M. C. Symonds, was read; after which the first witness called was— Lieutenant Henry Croft, who was examined by Cap tain Symonds—l was on board her Majesty's ship Spartan, on the morning of the 13th of June last. The ' prisoner was then boatswain of the Spartan. I did not see the prisoner turn up hands on the morning of the 13th. He was not at his station, washing decks. It was his= duty to be there. Ile was also absent from general quarters and inspection. I saw him on that day, and he was unfit for duty from drink. By the PRESIDENT—You said that the prisoner was absent from general muster and inspection. Was he at any time present there?—l did see him after he had been sent for. I asked the master where the boatswain was, and he answered he did not know. I immediately sent for him, and brought him on deck. By Sir T. Maitland—What state was he in when he was sent for?—He was not drunk, but stupid and unfit for duty. The boatswain's station when washing decks was on the deck and forecastle. You stated that he was not drunk. Was he unfit for his duty?—he did not obey my orders, but he could stand and walk. I ordered him to clear the booms; and, instead of ordering his crew to do it, he tried to do it himself, and fell down. I immediately ordered him below. William Dee, captain of the forecastle, said—He was on board the Spartan on the 13th of June. The pri soner was not at his station washing decks. By Captain Johnstone—l did not see the prisoner till after the decks were done. By Sir T. Maitland—He was neither drunk or sober, but stupid as though he had been drinking. ' Hugo B. Burnaby, mate of the Spartan, proved that the prisoner was absent from general quarters and in spection. By the PRESIDENT—I saw the prisoner that morning, and be seemed to be bewildered, and I thought he was under the influence of drink. He was in an unfit state to do duty. I could hardly tell whether he was sober— he seemed stupid, and as if he was labouring under some unusual excitement. John Clarke Southey stated, that on the 13th of June the prisoner was unfit to do any duty on board her Ma jesty's ship Spartan. This was all the evidence offered, and the court hav ing cleared and re-opened, the prisoner was called on for his defence. He stated that on the above day he was rather ill, and the doctor gave him a pill which nearly put him out of his mind, and he was not drunk. The court having again cleared and re-opened, the Court aditiJged.....lbuit the prisoner be dis.u;sscd her Lldesty's aorvico, after having served for twenty-four years. AFFIRMATION BILL.

Viscount Exmouth Lord Saltoun Marquis of Winchester Marquis of Alba FEARFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT EIGHT LIVES LOST.—EDINBURGH, FRIDAY.--A shocking and fatal accident took place on Wednesday evening, at the rail way-bridge over the Troot, on the Kelso and St. Bos well branch of the Edinburgh and Hawick Railway, by which eight lives were lost, and a number of persons seriously injured. The bridge, which is in the course of construction, consists of a number of stone pieta, all of which are up to the intended height, and the arches are nearly formed. The abutment on the north side of the river, and the several piers from it, rest on each side of a very deep quarry, out Df which the stones to build the bridge have been worked—this part of the structure not being in the river; and between these there was an intermediate pier, over which, at the time of the accident, rested one of the large travelling cranes used in lifting blocks of stone and other weights. About six o'clock in the evenincr, eight men were upon the crane, engaged in the wor k . of springing two arches, and a number of others—it is not ascertained how many— were working in a quarry beneath, a depth of nearly 100 feet, when, without giving any warning, the pier in question gave way with a sudden crash, precipitating the eight men, the crane, the unfinished part of the arches, and the wooden frame-work underneath, into the abyss below, and burying those employed there in the debris. The scene at this moment is described by an eye-witness to have been heartrending, many of the poor fellows writhing in the agonies of death, or in the torture of broken limbs, struggling to free themselves from the stones and timbers by which they were par tially crushed. A number of hands were instantly set to work to extricate the unfortunate creatures, eight of whom were found dead, and several others shockingly injured and mutilated. Most of the men killed have left wives and large families to deplore their dreadful fate. EILAN AIGAS.—SIR R. PEEL.—We have heard with much pleasure that there is a prospect, almost cer tain, of Sir Robert Peel sojourning in our neighbourhood during the ensuing shooting_ season. lie is at present in treaty for the occupation of the house and grounds of Eilan Alps, near Beauly, on the estate of Lord Lovat. Some thirty years since, when Secretary for Ireland, Sir Robert had a shooting in this county, in Badenoch, but we do not know that he ever penetrated to Inverness. Eilan Aigas, or the Island of Aigas, is a small Highland Patmos, " from towns and toil remote," but singularly picturesque and beautiful. It is for me d b y t h e waters of the Beastly, which, having divided and cut through masses of conglomerate rock, flow in deep gorges, over cliffs, and, in some places, in a still deep stream, around the romantic, isolated territory, The island stands high, and consists of about fifty acres of rock, wood, and pas ture. It is luxuriant in birch and oak, and is fre quented by red deer and roe, and the smaller game. The house, which is approached by a wooden bridge on the east side, is in keeping with the scene. Though a modern structure, it is built partly in the old Scotch style—a low crow-stepped building, with a p orch decorated with s bows, horns, deer's heads, &c. The inte rior is s p acious and elegant. Walks have bee n made through the woods and mountain heather, commanding the finest river views mountain terraces, and in one p art overlooking a con siderable waterfall. The spot altogether is just such a one a s Sir Uvedale Price would ha ve selected to illus trate his definition .of picturesque beauty as distinguished from sublimity. The absence of the " terrible graces" is made up by endless variety—by the constant icanter es - m i ng ling of rich foliage, heather, grey cliffs, casd, wild solitude , a nd cultivated beauty. The drive from Inverness through the fertile lands*of the Aird, by the side of the Beauty Firth, the falls of Kilmorael:, the high precipices and wooded slopes of thehe Dream des Drhuim), Egan Aigas, and Strathglass, s been cribed by 131— 9 --ts na t u ralists, and othPr tourists, and is richly de serving of all its fame. Eilan Aigas is about fourteen miles from Inverness, and near it are Beaufort Castle, the seat of Lord Lovat, and Erchless Castle, the seat of The Ohishelm,--itiverness Courier. [PRICE SD. THE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY'S. NEW ALMSHOUSES. On Saturday the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new almshouses at IVandswor,h, about to be constructed by the Fishmongers' Company, was per formed by Mr. W. F. Yowler, Prime Warden, in the presence of the Wardens, Court of Assistants, and Livery of the company. The present almshouses of the Fishmongers' Com pany form the ancient and somewhat picturesque pile of buildings known as St. Peter's Hospital, and are situate opposite to the Elephant and Castle, Newing ton Butts. The somewhat dilapidated state of these edifices, which date as far back as 1617, and the crowded state of the neighbourhood, have led the Court to the belief that the L. lth and comfort of the inmates wct.ed be greatly promoted by transferring them to some open and healthful situation within a short distance from town, while the increasing value of the land at Newington for building and trading purposes has pointed out a source of revenue from which the outlay and expenditure upon the new almshouses may be in great part met. The proceedings of a day so important and ho. nourable to the company commenced at Fishmongers - hall, at noon, when the Livery and their visitors assembled at the hall, where they were invited by the Prime Warden to partake of an elegant dejeaner. At one o'clock the procession, headed by an excellent band ofmusic and the company's flags and banners, was formed from the hall to the adjoining wharf, where the company's barge and the Waterman steamer No. 10 were in waiting to receive them. The company's barge, gaily decorated with flags and manned by the crew in their gala costume, was then taken in tow by the steamer, the band of music on board the latter played their liveliest tunes, and the spectacle attracted considerable attention as the boats passed up the river, in one of the finest days of June. On their arrival at Wandsworth the procession was again formed, and an easy walk brought the company to the site of the new St. Peter's Hospital. The site chosen for the new edifice is a piece of land at East-hill, Wandsworth, next adjoining the Manor-house, containing about eight acres, and forming a gentle acclivity, which commands a view of the river Thames and a charming and well wooded rural landscape. It is easily accessible from the river and the railway, from both of which the new hospital will form a prominent and picturesque object. The almshouses, 42 in number, will form three sides of a quadrangle, each about 320 feet long, and one of which will, with the chapel and school in the centre, look upon the river. They will be built in the Elizabethan style from the design and under the superintendence of Mr. Richard Suter, architect, of Fenchurch-street. Mr. Jay, of the City-basin, City road, is the builder and contractor. The new edifice is expected to be completed by Midsummer next. The company having taken their places around the stone to be laid, the clerk of the Fishmongers' Com pany (Mr. Towse) read the order of the Court, di recting that on the occasion of the ceremony of the day the whole of the livery should be invited to at tend, and afterwards to dine with the Prime Warden and the Court at Fishmongers'-hall. The chaplain of the company (the Rev. Joseph Edwards) having asked a blessing upon the undertak ing, the Prime Warden proceeded to lay the first stone with the usual formalities. The PRIME WARDEN then spoke as follows : Gentlemen and brother Fishmongers, having been deputed by the Court, in virtue of the office of prime warden of the company, which I have held during the last twelve months, to lay the first stone of the almshouses we are about to erect in lieu of the old and decayed buildings at Newington known as St. Peter's Hospital, I cannot but congratulate you upon our having thus auspiciously commenced so good a work, and express my own earnest hope (a hope in which I am sure we are all united) that the building we have this day commenced may progress without inter ruption to its completion; that it may reflect credit alike on the architext and the contractor, may give entire satisfaction to the Court and the company, may afford great and increased comfort to those poor but respectable members of our brother hood for whose benefit it is intended, and that while it adds to our credit and renown with our fellow-citizens of the present time, it may prove to distant generations an evidence and a memorial of the liberal spirit in which the Fishmongers of the nineteenth century receive and execute the trusts which have been handed down to them.—(Cheers.) The occasion of our meeting here to-day is, indeed, a most interesting one, and it cannot, I think, at such a moment, be unseasonable to call to mind the time and circumstances under which this hospital was founded, which has been for more than two centuries a subject of coneaw/all.. ..,a ~r tnanaminess in our fellowship, and which I look upon as a proof not only of the piety and benevolence of our forefathers, but also of the strong faith they had in the brother hood—(Hear, hear) —of their conviction that there never would be wanting amongst us men of honour able and upright character to fulfil the trusts confided to them, and of like charitable minds with them selves to protect and take charge of their less fortu nate members. And it is with a like faith and con viction that we are now laying the foundation of this new home for our poor, which may be e xpected to endure for , centuries to come.---(Hear, hear.) It was about the year 1615 that Sir Thomas Hunt, in anticipation of the erection of some such build ing, bequeathed to the company an annuity of twenty pounds, for the support of six of the poor occupants thereof, and from this small beginning ulti mately arose the extensive charity in the promotion and support of which we are now engaged. Having ref rence to this bequest, the Court in 1517 came to a resolution to build twelve such houses—a piece of ground at Newington being offered to them at the time for 1101, the whole cost being estimated at 4001. In 1633 a resolution was come to to build six additional houses, and in the following year a dining hall, and subsequently Mr. Edmunds added two houses, and two more were superadded to these. Then came the noble bequest of Mr. Hulbert, who in 1721 gave the residue of his estate, amounting to more than 9,0001., for the purpose of building and endowing 20 additional houses, making the num ber altogether 42, as they now are. In consequence of the building of the hospital thus brought about, several benevolent members of the company were in duced to make bequests towards its support of annual sums, varying in amount, mary of them very small, but in the whole not exceeding 3501. or 3601., includ ing the income arising from the residue of Hulbeit's estate, after the building of his 20 houses. The amount we now actually expend in its support is not less than 1,700/., or thereabouts ; and whereas the entire cost of the old hospital did not exceed 3,0001., the entire cost of the new one will probably be 25,000/.—(Cheers.) Such is the liberal an d munifi cent spirit in which we are carrying on the good work handed down to us ; and in the se lection of a site for the building we have also borne in mind the example of the founders, and have chosen an open, airy, and, we believe, very healthy spot, remembering that two centuries ago Newington was a place in the country, and not what we now see it—a noisy, crowded, smoky place, in the very heart of a dense population. — (Hear, hear.) And now a few words to the expected occupants. I trust it is unnecessary to point out to the present inmates of St. Peter's Hospital the many and great advantages they enjoy in consequence of their connexion with the Fishmongers' Company, and the gratitude which should daily fill their hearts for the mercies they enjoy ; and I hope they will evi nce this by their kind and charitable feelings towards each other, by the sober and orderly course of their lives,. by the cleanlinees and tidy ness o f t h e i r d we l • imp, and by their careful preservation of everything connected with the hospital. But lam very anxious they should impre ss u p on th e i r f am ili es and connec tons, that although it i s a creditable and desirab le thin g to be selected on account of past good c onduct as a t fit occupant for one of these house s, it is a much b ision e t fo er r and more creditable thing t o have made pr declining years by one's ownexertonsao n v d ol by_ our the industry, and pru dence, and forethought,l manhood—(Hear , hear)—and therefore that no fish monger should allow the existence of this asylum to relax in any degr ee the exertions every man is bound t o make, not only for his present support, but for his future provision also.—(Cheers.) . I have now only to express the gra tification I teel at the presence of s o many of our body to t ake part in this interesting ceremony, thereby evincing the interest they take in w hatever concerns the hon o u r and reputation of the company and the welfare of all who belong to it.— (Hear.) Permit me to add that it is very gratifying to me also that this event, which had been so long looked forward to, has occurred during my year of office, and it is especially so that it happens during the reign of our present most excellent Sovereign, who is by descent a daughter of the company, and I therefore propose that we now conclude the business of the day by giving three hearty cheers for her Ma jesty, and then singing the national anthem. Three times three hearty cheers were then given by the assemblage for the Queen. The national anthem was sung by some of the charity children of the Bridge Ward schools, and the loving cups were then presented to the ladies present, who drank, Mr. Harker officiating as toastmaster, prosperity to St. Peter's Hospital, Wandsworth, for the success of which three hearty cheers were given. The same toast yeas drunk in champagne at a neighbouring - tent by the company, and an abundant supply of and other refreshments enabled the visitors and bitants of Wandsworth of all classes who vv,ersepre't 1• 4 -4rf;1- sent at the cerem ony to parta k e in the,festiirlfiia:6T3:-.1:f.-__q the day.

Fishmongers'-hall precisely at five o'clock, llere-tlier splendid hospitalities of the day were terniinitteMblikAav grand banquet, to which about 200 persons sat down. The Prime Warden presided, and in the course of the evening, his year of office having expired, he resigned the chair to Mr. John Towgood, Prime Warden elect, who thereupon entered upon the duties of Prime Warden of the company for the ensuing year. After the usual loyal toasts the health of the past Prime Warden having been proposed by Mr. Lowe, who highly eulogized the manner in which he had dis charged the duties of his office, and the ability and urbanity which he had especially evinced during the proceedings of the day, Mr. Yowler suitably ac knowledged the compliment amid the cheers of the livery. Mr. Hobbs and a party of vocalists were en gaged, and tl.e festivities were prolonged to a some what late hour. The arrangements throughout the day were perfect, and reflected great credit upon Mr. Towse and the other gentlemen concerned. COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS. A sumptuous entertainment was given to a very nu merous company at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Satur day evening, to celebrate an important epoch in the his tory of this newly-organised institution, which is calcu lated to exercise considerable influence upon education in this country. The epoch celebrated was that of having obtained from her Majesty a royal charter of in corporation, by which the institution is placed in much the same situation as the College of Surgeons, the Royal Academy, end other royalty incorporated bodies. Wm. Ewart, Esq., M.P., presided. He was supported by Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. M. D. Hill, Mr. H. S. Turrell, the President, and other gentlemen. After the usual royal toast, which was followed by the national anthem, in which all the company joined, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Royal Charter of In corporation, with thanks to her Majesty's Ministers for their exertions to obtain it." Many of his friends who advocated an extended liberal system of education, had entertained serious doubts as to the propriety of the charter, but those doubts were removed when they heard that it was not connected with any monopoly or any ex clusive privilege, and solely for the purpose of enabling them to work efficiently the machinery of the institution. Without a charter they could have assumed no dis tinctive or uniform character, their proceedings would have been without weight or authority, and, in fact, they would have been a mere shadow of an institution, with out the substance. But now they have the substance Most effectually embodied in the royal charter of incor poration, and while it crowned their past labours it would animate their future exertions.—(Cheers.) Though some ridicu:ed them, and others doubted the propriety of their plans, perseverance continued to mark their efforts ; and might he not now say— " And those who came to scoff remained to pray." Not only had their poor exertions been happily consum mated, but a bright vista of the future usefulness of the instution opened before them. The toast was drank with applause. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The College of Preceptors." It had been projected for the express pur pose of elevating the character of our schoolmasters— a good old English word, which had not been improperly en!argcd into the term preceptors, and which ought to be dear to every friend of education. Milton, one of the greatest of our countrymen, was a schoolmaster. He devoted him self at the same time to the cultivation of the muses and to the instruction of others; and no individual in any age or in any country tend, more to elevate the character of the schoolmaster than did the immortal Milton.—(Cheers.) Their object was to elevate that character s:111 further. Milton hod contemplated this in his treatise on education, and iu his other works, when he said that teachers and instructors, who moulded and formed the minds of the young, were entitled to be locked upon as benefactors to their country. They sought to elevate the character of the schoolmaster in two ways—by the principle of association and by means of education. Association was the governing principle of the age. What they could not do individually they could do combinedly, and he believed that was thesecret by which capital, labour, and enterprise had achieved acts which were altogether beyond the example of past times, and would ever be the wonder of human me mory. Ho understood that no less than 150 candidates had appeared before the examiners ; and the public were not aware of the great good which the institution was effecting sub sumac, in securing to them efficient tutors and masters, such as they never had before.—(Cheers.) There could be no doubt that the character of the teachers of this country would manifest a decided improvement by the operations of such an institution. They had to do also with the education of female teachers. The absurd notion that the masculine gender gas more worthy than the femi nine was about to be exploded, for the ladies were be ginning to emancipate themselves from the thraldom and unjust subjection to whic!.l custom had compelled them to submit.—(Hear and cheers.) As many as six ladies had been examined and obtained diplomas, and that was the first instance in which ladies in this country had stood forward as candidates for such an honourable dits- ticetion.—(Cheers.) The institution was, in fact, a pioneer in the cause of education. There was no Go vernment power or Government inspection connected with it. It was his impression that they would never have a national system of education until it was effected by means of local interest and local rating, and conducted in much the same way that it was in America. No pro vision of the Government would supersede the old Eng ocht-govermweiti., iuroue * n mere persever ance in which they had been for ages gradually advancing the cause of freedom, and to which, in the present age, they were indebted to good order, whilst in other countries there was almost universal disorder and con fusion. Their sphere of utility was, however, not con fined to this country, but wherever the commerce of England went, and the language of the country followed, there went also the literature, science, and art of Eng land.—(Cheers.) The toast was received upstanding. Mr. H. S. TERRELL, the president, returned thanks. Mr. WYLD, M.P., proposed the health of the Marquis of Northampton and the other promoters of the College. He looked upon the institution as one of great national advantage, and considered that it would nut only exercise a nsramouot influence upon the history of our own country, but would influence the people on the other side of the Atlantic. He was ghd to think that the schoolmaster, instead of being abroad, would now be found at home.—(Laughter.) Mr. M. D. Men responded to the toast. Although he did not claim the merit of a promoter, he had taken a lively interest in the progress of the college, for the earliest useful employment in which he was engaged in life was at the usher's desk.—(Cheers.) While the merchant, he said, met upon 'Change, the lawyer in the struggle of intellect at Westminster Hall, and the cler gyman met egos' to equal—that best of all intercourse, those who cultivated that most improving of all sciences, education—were separated from each other. No one was his companion; there was no interchange of thought between them; and to that state of isolation did he at u Bute much of the evils of the present state of education. He rejoiced, therefore, in the establishment of the Pre ceptors' College; and he hoped he might see the day when a preceptor was thought worthy of a seat in the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) The health of the President and the Chairman were then drunk. The other toasts were—" The Council and Officers," " The Local Boards," " The Press," " The Examination Boards and the Candidates for Examination." The dinner was served up in excellent style, and con sisted of everything that the good taste and judgment of the worthy proprietor, Mr. Bacon, could select. Tho company did not separate until late. AIARYLEBONE THEATRE.—Mr. Davenport will take his benefit at this house to-night, and will play Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing, to Mrs. Mowates Beatrice, and Rob Roy in the drama of that name. By a versatility which renders him highly serviceable both in tragedy and comedy, and by real excellence in some melodramatic characters, Mr. Davonport has attained a reputation more solid perhaps than that of any actor (we do not include the ladies) Rho has crossed the Atlantic to visit this metropolis. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted members of the college at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 22d inst.:—Messrs.

Joseph Coulter, Frederick William Blake, and John Colmer Austin, passed their examina tions for naval surgeons; these gentlemen had previously been admitted members of the college, their diplomas bearing date respectively, February 23, 1844; April 14 and 21, 1845. _ We regret exceedingly to learn that the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have sustained a severe domestic calamity by the sudden death; of their youngest daughter, the Lady Alexandrine Leveson Gower. The deceased child, about eighteen months old, was taken with convulsions in the course of Thursday evening (the day after the nuptials of the Marquis of Stafford and Miss Hay Mackenzie). and never afterwards rallied, and, we regret to state, died within a few hours. This unexpected bereavement has cast a heavy gloom over the domestic circle, and put an end to the anticipat e d gaieties at Stafford House.

A meeting of magistrates was held on Thursday, attended by Mr. Ward and Mr. Foster, surgeons. Olen, upon the strictest examination being trade, they certified that the prisoner Burton is of unsound mind, and directed that the usual means be adopted for his speedy removal to a lunatic asylum.
