The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is consistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the flee preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of GO per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age when Policy was issued.

GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Under the Patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the 'tr easury, is universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy in removing dis orders incident to the Eyes and Head. SIGHT RESTORED!-NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE AND DEAFNESS CURED! By the meet simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound! Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou• sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary toi n duce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical P ractitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound, known as" Grimstone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F. R. S. See J. B. Lachfield, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews ealls it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility.

A DAVIS, Sponge Merchant and Brush • Manufacturer, by Special Appointment to her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow ager Duchess of,Bedford, and numerous families of distinction, 33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed of corded silk anti India rubber, by which it is impossible for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England. Families in the country can have a list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand. STRAWBERRY HILL. The road to Twickenham on Wednesday gave us a minatur, fore taste and assuran ce of what we shall see, in the cour s e of : few:days, on the road to Epsom. The attendance was at leas, threefold more numerous than on any previous occasion. The bidding went on slowly apd steadily until lot 60 wa , brought out. This, it may be remembered, is a curious old jewel, consisting of a golden heart set with p rec i ous s t ones , an d ornamented wi th emblematic devices and Scottish mottoes. It formerly belonged to the Lady Margaret Dougl;, and was preserved by her as a souvenir of her husband, Lennox, the Regent of Scotland. This lot was sold for 130 guineas. Lot 66 was the beautiful rosewood cabinet, which was de signed by Horace Walpole, and ornamented with those won derfully expressive carvings in ivory by Verskovis, who ob tained so great a reputation in his day. This magnificent meads fetched 120 guineas. Several lots of minor importance were next sold, but nothing worthy of any especial notice until lot 77, the Raffael which is so exquisitely illuminated, and richly ornamented with rubies, turquoises, and large cornelians. After a hard struggle, it was knocked down to Mr. Forster, for 110 guineas The bell was next brought out, and was rung by order 01 Mr. Robins, in order to let the world know that it was at length about to pass away from its resting place at Straw berry-hill. As everybody has either seen this tintinabulum, or read the numerous and elaborate descriptions of its beauties, we need not detail them here. The bidding started at 100 guineas, and was kept on gradually between an agent for Mr. Beckford and Mr. Forster. The latter at length bore away the bell for 240 guineas, and immediately after it was bold, every one was seen paying or receiving bets, which it appears had been laid in great numbers that it would be sold for at least 1,0001. The seal of his insolvent Mr-i•sty of Corsica was not held in very high estimation, as it was sold for six guineas. The quaint old silver tea-kettle, with lamp-stand, and other paraphernalia, fetched 295. per ounce, which greatly exceeds the price which was paid for the pla teau, which was ornamented by Hogarth's own hand. Foster nextgave fifty-two guineas for King Henry the Eighth's dagger, with its calcedonix case and handle, and shortly after he pur chased the Julio Clovio missal for 4'20 guineas. This valuable volume contains the Psalms of David, written with a pen on fine vellum, and is superbly illuminated by Julio Clovio. The extraordinary brilliancy of the illuminations, and wonderful manner in which they have retained their colour and effect after a lapse of so many years, has been the theme of very general astonishment and admiration.

[NoxE.—The words printed in Italics are proposed to be in serted in the Committee.] Whereas, the privilege of electing Members of Parliament is a trust held and enjoyed for the benefit of the public ; and it is right and expedient that any constituency by whom such trust shall have been abused, for purposes of private advantage and emolument, should cease to the same ; and whereas open, general, and systematic bribery and corruption prevailed at the last election of Burgesses to serve in Parliament for the borough of Sudbury ;—Be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this pre sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that the borough of Sudbury, in the county of Suffolk, shall, from and after the passing of this Act, cease to elect and return any Burgess or Burgesses to serve in the High Court of Parliament.

On SATURDAY, the 14th of May, will he published, No. 1, of a New Weekly Newspaper, entitled the ILLUSTRA TED LONDON NEWS, price 6d. stamped, containing 30 engravings every week, from designs by eminent Artists, being pictorial representations f the most interest ing events of the day, in addition to 48 columns of news. The object of this publication is not merely to register the current events of in terest at home, to give lengthened details of occurrences abrZad, but to heighten the one and make clear the other by the in troduction of pictorial representations of the scenes described. Calling in the aid of pencil to depict that which can only be but partially accomplished by the pen, we are but following the text of a learned writer, who has said that " we can convey to the mind by means of a picture those circumstances of relative situation, and peculiar interest, that no written description could ever achieve, but which the pencil must at all times materially enhance." The war in Affgh snistan, the sad defeats and suf ferings of the British Army, and we, hope its also glorious tri umphs, will open a wide field for pictorial representation, and our artists will not fail in their task. Foreign circumstances, however, are but a slight feature in our gallery—the realities of London life, the physiognomy of its police courts, its theatres, exhibitions, public amusements, its out-door society, its daily in • creasing public buildings, its works of art—all that has the charm of novelty will be brought before the reader in a pictured form, and will give to the country resident that exact impression of London progress which no other Journal, by description alone can convey. Correspondences have been opened in each of our provincial towns to insure a quick transit of illustrations of all matters of interest. Racing and sporting scenes, rowing► and sailing matches, military reviews, public festivals, cattle shows, and other agricultural assemblies, will be reported with the pencil as well as by the pen'; while, for the particular en tertainment of our fair countrywomen, engravings of the fashions, gardening, fancy needlework, sketches of public balls and concerts, will be from time to time provided. A vigorous tone will be adopted in politics, freed at the same time from all party views. Arrangements are made for giving with more than usual effect the fullest and latest reports of the Parlia mentary debates, public meetings, police intelligence, theatrical information, &c. Critical reviews will be given of all British and Foreign literary publications of sterling interest. The latest accounts of markets, &c., with the fullest commercial information, and all the usual contents. The illustrations are entirely confided to Messrs. Vizetelly and Co., and will be en graved under their superintendence, to insure the public against anything of an inferior character being introduced into the columns of this newspaper.

A few days since, early in the morning, a mason, named Branger, went down into a well, sixty feet deep, at Vierzon, near Bourges, in the Cher, fur the purpose of commencing some repairs. He had been only a short time at work, when the whole casing or wall of the well fell in, and buried him to the depth of at least 50 feet. His com panions immediately gave the alarm, and every exertion was made and persevered in till four in the afternoon of the following day, when Branger was restored alive to his wife and four children, with no other injury than a severe con tusion of one of his arms; and other bruises of minor im portance. . . Between the hours of six and eight on Saturday evening a jewel-box, exceeding in value 2,0001., the pro perty of Lady Corbet, and three dozen of silver spoons and torks, belonging to the house agent, were stolen from her apartments in the Place Vendome. Information has been given to the police, but hitherto no clue has been afforded to warrant the hope of discovery. Sir Andrew, Lady Corbet and family, left Paris this morning for London. In 1840, an Englishwoman, - whose real name was Edwards, but who ast;imed the title of Countess de Saint Mau rice, was prosecuted for swindling before the Correctional Tri bunal of Boulogne, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. She appealed against this judgment to the Cour Royale at St. Omer, employing M. Lceuilleux, the counsel of Boulogne, as her advocate, and through whose exertions in h e r cause her punishment was reduced from five years to o n e year ' s imprison ment. During her imprisonment at St. Omer ' the pretended etobtain from th em a sum o f Du l belief' o es fs her deluded story, and a n person eo named teivdo Catiniaux and his wife into a be 148 f., under the assurance that she was about to receive lega cies to the amount of 93,000 f., independent of an income she al ready possessed of 3,000 f, a year.. Of the money obtained from the Catiniaux, 100 f. were sent to M. Lceuilleux as his fee, toge ther with four fine shirts, some India silk handkerchiefs, and an English metal dish for his table, as tokens of her gratitude, all of which M. Lceuilleux accepted. Not long afterwards, the Catiniaux discovered they had been duped, and commenced a prosecution, not only against the woman Edwards, but also including the learned counsel. The former appeared and pleaded, but M. Lceuilleux made default. A judgment was delivered against both by the Correctional Tribunal, which was confirmed by the Cour Royale ; but that against M. Laeuil leux was afterwards quashed for some informality by the Court of Caseation, which ordered a new trial before the Cour Royale of Amiens. The case occupied this court from the 26th to the '29th ult. inclusively, during which hearing all the cir cumstances were investigated with the most careful minuteness. In the end, the court declared that the accusation against M. Lceuilleux was devoid of all proof, and fully and honourably ac quitted him. In the night of the 29th ult., as four men were em ployed in emptying the cesspool of a house at Sassenage, in the Isere, one of them went down to expedite th e b us i ness , the mephitic vapour overcame' him, and he fell senseless. The effect was seen by the three others, a father and two sons, all of whom went down in succession in hope of affording relief to each other, but they were equally affected, and must have perished, but for the cries of a boy who had charge of the horses of the night-cart, and saw what had happened. Michel Pey rard, a servant of the house, hastened to the spot", and, divesting himself of his clothes, went down, and succeeded in bringing three of the senseless bodies to the surface. With these exer tions Michel became nearly exhausted, but waiting only a few minutes to recover his strength, and further assistance having arrived, he fastened a cord' round his body and descended a fourth time, and was drawn up with the remai n i ng su ff erer i n his arms. Medical aid was by this time at hand, and through judicious treatment all the four men, and Michel himself, who was in an almost equally bad state, were recovered: The Mayor of Sassenage has made .a rapert of his heroic Conduct to the higher authorities, and Michel, whose means are very humble, will no doubt receive an adequate reward, Date of Policy.

PARIS, MAY 10.—You will readily believe that nothing was yesterday thought of or spoken about here, but the dread -01 accident of the preceding day on the Versailles Railroad. To-day the newspapers are filled with it. To-morrow little will be written, and less said or thought, respecting it, and the whole affair, with all the projected improvements to insure safety in railway transport, will be forgotten. Individuals will, however, long lament the cruel loss of parents, husbands, wives, children, relations, friends. So many cases are already ascertained, that the number of dead will exceed the calculation of yesterday. The details published, and which I receive hourly, are heartrending. Among the dead is the celebrated circumnavigator, Admiral Dumont D'Urville. He was seen ascending the third waggon at the station of Versailles, with his wife and son, by a servant of the house in which he resided in Paris, who having seated himself outside, was thrown off by tile' shock when the accident occurred, and broke his leg. With Admiral D'Urville was an officer of the navy, who, net finding room in the vehicle occu pied by his friend, placed himself in the fifth carriage, and was fortunate enough to escape with only one arm fractured. Since then all the researches made by his mother-in-law, and by order of the Minister of Marine, have been fruitless, and to-day, at noon, no accounts had been received at the Admi ral's house of any of the party. The Admiral, your readers may recollect, returned last year from his second voyage round the world, during which he discovered and explored, previously unknown regions contiguous to the South Pole. Since his ar rival in Paris he had somewhat recovered, and was entirely occupied in preparing for the press and putting in order the materials for the history of his second expedition, when lie met his cnhappy fate. It was on him (then a Captain of the Navy) that the mission of conveying Charles X. from Cherbourg to England devolved in 1830. It was rumoured throughout yesterday that several scholars of the Polytechnic School were among the sufferers. A simi lar report followed the Revolution of 1830, for the public take 'deep interest in that institution. In the present case, as in the Revolution, one student only of that school met his death, as you will see presently. Many persons of distinction escaped this calamity by being a moment too late, or by finding the train full. '1 he King's youngest son, the Duke de Montpensier, came by it a short distance from Versailles, and then got out. M. Chambolles (a Deputy and editor-in-chief of the Sleek) was on the point of entering with his three sons, when a friend offered him seats in his carriage, which lie accepted. Mr. Henry Bulwer ar rived at the station before the train started, but could not obtain a place. A son of Colonel Thorne, a wealthy American gentleman, resident in Paris, who was yesterday said to have been one of the victims, had attempted to obtain a place in the train, but failed. Several other incidents of the kind are men tioned. I shall not, however, continue my narrative, but lay before you extracts from all the well-informed Journals of Paris on this most painful subject. We have been able," says the Moniker, "to collect the following details respecting the deplorable accident of the Bth instant: " The train of the left bank of the Versailles Railroad, which left that town at half-past five o'clock, p.m., for Paris, con sisted of eighteen waggons—two open, three diligences, and thirteen waggons of the second class. It was drawn by two engines. On its reaching a short-distance beyond Bellevue, the axle-tree of the first engine broke, and the wheels be coming detached from the vehicle, the latter got off the rails, and placing itself across the toad, was thrown on its side by the shock of the second engine. The latter, hurried along by its own impetus and that of the train, went over the first engine, and was followed by two open waggons, two of the second class, and a diligence, of which latter the front part got above the back of the carriages which preceded them. " The shoch was dreadful; the waggons were smashed in pieces, and agreat number of persons were killed and wounded. This misfortune was aggravated by a still mo: e frightful cir cumstance. The fire of the first engine fell on the road, that of the second was soon added to it, and the coke, carried in the tenders, added fresh food to the fire. The first five carriages arriving over the furnace, were instantly ignited, and were almost entirely consumed with awful rapidity. The succeeding waggons stopped, and the travellers alighted from them. The consequences of this terrible misfortune were truly deplorable. Forty-three per sons perished, and fifty were more or less dangerously wounded. On the first engine was, 'independently of the ordinary engineer and stoker, Mr. George (an Englishman), the chief engineer. On the second, besides the engineer and stoker, was one of the Directors of the railroad. The administration of the establish ment reckons among the dead Mr. George, the chief engineer ; two other engineers, the stoker and guard ; and the Director had his leg broken and his shoulder put out of joint. "It was reported by mistake that two trains had come in contact with each other. It WAS also erroneously stated that one of the boilers had burst, but the boil•rs of both engines remained intact. As soon as the authorities became aware of the accident, the Prefect of Police repaired to the station of the railway to give the first orders, and procure every assist ance. He afterwards proceeded to the spot, where he was joined by M. Jalon, the King's Attorney at Versailles, and a il great number of the physicians of the Paris hospitals, whose • zeal on the occasion was admirable. " Already the first cares had been bestowed to the wounded under the direction of the authorities of Meudon. The medi cal men of that village and of the adjoining districts were already engaged in dressing the wounds when the Prefect ar rived. The inhabitants of Aleudon had opened their houses, ; and afforded relief with an eagerness beyond all praise. The Chateau of Meudon had been likewise converted into an hos pital from the onset, and the officers of the Civil List and of the Palace vied in zeal with the rest of the population. " The moment the King was informed of this sad event his Majesty ordered the Chateau of Meudon to be opened for the accommodation of the wounded, and directed that every care should be taken of them, and that every necessary should be . placed at their disposal. An Aide-de-Camp of the King, dispatched in all haste to Mention, saw his Majesty's orders r c e a p r a ried into ired,at six o'clock, T to Meudon, fe n u e d x o t n, m an oing Count drnsaw that t hi l s llri talit Majesty's ve intentions had been exactly fulfilled. The physicians who at tended on the 14 wounded lying in the Palace on Monday, were of opinion that 13 were in a condition to be removed to Paris. The other remained in Meudon under the care of one of the resident pupils of the Hotel Dieu. The Gener . alcommanding the Polytechnic School informs the families of the pupils, that in the cruel occurrence of the Sth inst. he had only to deplore the loss of the:pupil Guilland, born at Bourgoin, department of the Isere. No other pupil was wounded, even slightly." The Gazette des Tribunaux says that " all the dead could not 3et be recognized, and it will be impossible from the man gled and shapeless form of others to discover who they are. Two police officers, whom the Prefect of Police had sent to Versailles to keep order during the fete, have been cruelly mu tilated. One of them, M. Aubiniere, who sat in the fifth waggon, is despaired of ; and the other, M. Amy, was dan gerously wounded in the leg. We have heard of a family re siding in tie Rue sle la Poterie, composed of eleven persons, not one of whom has been since heard of. A Paris merchant, who was in a waggon wdh his wife and daughter, 14 years of age, saw the latter killed in the coupe, and his wife burnt a little further on, having himself miraculously escaped; he has lost all recollection of what passed. A number of other tra vellers appear likewise to have lost their reason front the com motion they experienced, and the dreadful impression of the spectacle which they had witnessed. This morning fragments of human bodies in a carbonised state were picked up at some distance from the spot where the accident occurred. The number of deaths hitherto ascertained is 73. That of the wounded is considerable. Yesterday and to-day numerous amputations were performed. " We learned this morning with lively grief that two mem bers of the bar had fallen victims to the cruel event. M. Le pontois, a young lawyer, one of the secretaries of the Con ference, who had given the most brilliant expectations, was seated in ono of the first waggons with his brother, his cousin, M. Lemarie, arid his niece, fourteen years of age. At the mo ment of the shock the latter was thrown out of tke waggon, and it was impossible to know whether it was the result of the accident, or if she had been flung out by her relatives, who, seeing the danger imminent wished to save her. Carried senseless to a neighbouring house by a gentleman, who had himself been thrown from the top of the waggon, she then recovered, and told who she was. She said she was iii the same waggon with her father, uncle, and cousin, all of whom perished, and it was even impossible to recognize their remains among those of the thirty. two persons deposited in the ceme tery of Mont Parnasse. M. Rebel, another lawyer, was in one of the central waggons. lie was dang erously _ wounded in the head, but we are happy to hear that his situation inspires no serious uneasiness. M. Rebel was received at Meador], to gether with several other wounded, in the country house of one Of his colleagues, M. Walker. Among the persons wounded are the two nephews of M. Dahamel, a member of the Academy, and M. Aclocque, Young engineer of the Bridge and Road Department, whose leg was fractured. The youngest son of the Duke de Cazes, and the Duke's two nephews, who were in the last waggons, escaped without injury. The National says, " One of our friends, who has just ar rived from Sevres, states, that at eleven o'clock on Monday evening the adjoint of the Mayor of Sevres had ascertained 62 deaths. There were 16 wounded conveyed to the Chateau of Meudon, of whom two are since dead. There are several killed and wounded in the neighbouring houses. A consi derable number of carriages are employed to convey the wounded to Paris, and we ourselves saw several brought by the steam-boat Coureur. In the course of the morning a number of fragments of human bones were collected on the spot, together with several watches and pieces of money. The conflagration commenced a little before six o'clock, and was not extinguished until eleven. (inc of the rails was broken to the extent of four or five yards. Some frightful cases are mentioned. The chief engineer, an Englishman, named George, having rushed into the fire to open the doors of the waggons, was himself suffocated. At Sevres, Mettlon, and Bellevue, persons are to be seen in a state of distraction running and searching amongst the ashes to endeavour to dis cover their friends. " The Academy of Sciences could net remain indifferent on such an occasion. At a meeting called for the purl oae, 51. Cordier read, in the midst of the most profound silence, the report addressed by MM. Combos and Senarmont, tugineers attached to the service of steam machinery in the department of the Seine. Those gentlemen, on being apprized 01 the ac cident, repaired to the spot. " The report contains the following passage relative to the cause of the calamity The accident is due to the fatal con currence of circumstances, which are as many gross faults, easy to have been foreseen and still more easy to have avoided, so that the future prosperity of railroad companies is by no means compromised by this sad affair. The first cause of the accident was the employment of a locomotive with four wheels. It is essential th a t every carr i age i nten d ed for service on a railroad should rest on six wheels at least, in order that if one of the axles should break the carriage should still rest on sup porters, and continue its course. The second fault consists in the employment of two locomotives for a single train. The consequences of this arrangement are self-evident. " • A third circumstance on which several members of the academy strongly insist is, the precaution t a k en to l ock t h e doors of the w aggons , so th a t in such a case as that which oc curred all escape was prevented, and the travellers were con demned to suffer all the consequences of the first accident. Another cause, which had much influence on the catastrophe, was the neglect to isolate the train from the locomotive, so as to prevent tine shock occasioned by the sudden check to the speed with which they were proceeding. " ' It is worthy of remark, that if all those causes had not existed together, and if only a single precaution had been taken, not have happened. If the first engin* with six wheels %T hen ItS axle broke, it its equilibrium. If a second locomotive toyed, the only co►►sequence of the accident -shock; and even admitting that the two accident existed, had the doors of the wag gUns not been locked, a number of the passengers might have escaped the flames. In fine, the interposition of the elastic system would have saved the train, even if no other precaution had been observed.' " LITERARY FUND DINNER. This excellent Society celebrated on Wednesday at the Free masons' Hall its 53d anniversary. Great eclat was given to the proceedings of the ev en i ng b y t h e c i rcums t an c e , of h Royal Highne ss P r i nce Alb ert hav i ng honoure d the Society by condescending to preside over its festivities. The Linn ary fund Society was established in 1790, and in 1793 the brat anniversary dinner took place, since which period it has pur sued an uninterrupted career of usefulness. At half-past six o'clock his Royal Highness, preeeded by a number of the stewards, entered the room. Immesliately the illustrious Prince was announced, the acclamations became loud and general, and the beautiful band of the Coldstream Guards played the National Anthem. The galleries were tided 'Kill , a number of elegantly-dressed ladies, who al Feared fo take an unusual interest in the proceedings. About 360 sat down to an excellent dinner. On Prince Albert's right. hand sat the Duke of Cleveland, and on his left the Marquis of Lansdowne. Among the die , tingnished visitors present, we noticed the following noblesneo and gentlemen :—Lord Ashley, Lord Mahon, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Monteagle, Lord Jocelyn, the Prussian Am bassador, the Russian Ambassador, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, Mr. T. Moore, Mr. T, Campbell, Mt. G. Knight, Mr. H. Hallam, Mr. Barham, Sir H. Ellis, Mr. ashington Irving, and Vice-Chancellor K. Bruce. Upon the cloth being removed, His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT rose and said—Gentlee men,—l propose "The Health of the Queen," who, lam able to tell you highly appreciates this excellent institution. I have her permission to say, that she is its sincere well-wisher, and feels much interest in its prosperity.---( Loud cheering. The Duke o f CLEVELAND then prop ose d " The Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family." The Noble Duke said, that he had been called upon unex pectedly to propose the second toast in the list. Ile had never yet been present at any public meeting , where the health of the Prince of Wales was proposed. lie considered it a fortu nate coincidence that the first time he should be called upon to propose such a toast should b e i n t h e presence of the Prince of Wales's illustrious parent. Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE gave " The Army and Navy."—(Loud cheers. ) Lord COLVILLE returned thanks for the Navy, and Colonel Guitwoon briefly acknowledged the eompliment paid to the Army. After which Mr. T. Campbell's well-known song— Ye mariners of England, That guard our native seas," was sung amidst loud applause. Prince A Limier then rose, and spoke as follows.--The toast which 1 have now to propose is, "Prosperity to this Institu tion," an Institution which stands unrivalled in any countes s and which ought to command our warmest sympathies, in pi,. viding for the exigencies of those who, feeling only the promptings of genius, and forgetting every other consideration, pursue the grand career of the cultivation of the human mind, and the promotion of the arts and sciences.—( Cheers.) It is • surely right gratefully to acknowledge the benefits we s ave de rived from the disinterested exertion s of those great arid good men, and cheerfully to contribute to their wants and add their necessities.—(Cheers.) I conclude with a warm wish • that the object for the promotion of which we have assembled this day may be responded to in the most ample and generous manner. I propose " Success to the Literary Fund."—(The toast was drunk amidst great cheering.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE responded to the toast.. Ile begged in behalf of himself, and all those connected with the Society, to express to his Royal Highness, and all the noble men and gentlemen present, his acknowledgement for the ho nour which had that day been conferred on the Institution. He had resigned with much pleasure the chair into the han 'ls of the illustrious Prince who presided over the meeting. would ill become him, in the presence of his Royal High-a ness, to enumerate the many virtues and good qualities which adorned his character.—(Loud cheers.) He was not surprised to see the Prince among them that eveni ng , w h en h e recollected that he was connected with an illustrious family residing in a country, which had always been the asylum of teen ef genius and letters.—( Cheer's.) In occupying the Chair that day his Royal Highness was only discharging a debt of gratitude due to the Society. The father of her ;Ma jesty had honoured the Society once with his presence ; and an the last occasion previous to his lamented death that he had consented to take the Chair, he was only prevented from dein.- so by the birth o f h er present M ajesty.—( Cheers. ) The *ob ject of the Literary Fund Society was to relieve the distresses and miefortunes of literary men. Surely such a Society re quired no recommendation. It spoke its own want, and its own peculiar claims upon the sympathies of the kind and the benevolent. He thought there could net be a more noble ob ject than to see the human intellect in the greatness of its strength towering above the difficulties which surrounded it, and triumphing over all the impediments which impeded it in its onward course—(Cheers)—but how painful was it to con template genius weighed down by misfortunes. It was for the benefit of this class that the Literary Fund' Society was insti tuted. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert.'—( Great cheering. ) Prince ALBERT rose, mid was received with long-continued applause. He said, " Gentlemen,—l must return you me warmest thanks for the great kindness you have manifested towards me in the manner in which you have received the toast. which has just been proposed for your adoption.—(Cheers, ) I beg to assure you that I shall always he most happy to pro mote the interest of all those excellent institutions which so prominently (his Royal Highness laid a marked emphasis on this word) distinguish this country."—( Loud cheers. ) The SECRETARY then read the Report, an abstract of which we have given. He also read a list of the subseripions just received. The Queen, 100 guineas—(Cheers) —Prince Al bert, 100I.—(Great cheering)—the King of Prussia, 100/, (Cheers)—the Duke of Somerset, 10 guineas annually ; the Marquis of Lansdowne, 50/. ; Lord F. Egerton, 10/. ; Arch bishop of Dublin, a per tentage on the profits of all his works , Lord Bexley, 10/. ; Vice- Chancellor Bruce, 10 guineas ; Lord Chief Justice Tindal, 10 guineas. Prince A inner said—The toast now put Into my hand is the health of our worthy President, the Marquis of Lansdowne. It would be impossible for me to enumerate his many merits ; Ida contributions to art and science are so well known in this as sembly, that it will ne unnecessary for me to particularly allude to them. I have the greatest satisfaction in expressing how highly I esteem him.. Gentlemen, I beg leave to p ropose " The health of the Marquis of Lansdowne. "—Great cheeSine ) The Marquis of LA NsnowNE returned thanks, and •pe e p o ,,,J " The health of His Majesty the King of Prussia."......(Cheers.) The PRUSSIAN AMBASSADOR said, in returning thanks for the cordial manner in which the health of his Royal master, his Majesty the King of Prussia, had been drunk, he was unable to express the feelings which animated his heart. He knew that his Royal master took a great interest in the prosperity of the I.iterary Fund Society.—( Great cheering. ) Mr. T. CAMPBELL rose, and was received with loud cheers; He said that at a meeting like the present, so full of the friends of literature and science, it was a matter of congratu lation that the chair was filled by the representative of Bri tish Majesty, the Queen of queens, the Queen of hearts, their own Queen of Victoria.—(Great cheering. e thouht that the great condesce ns i on ex hibi ted by the ) Ill H ustrious g Princ e could not fail to produce a feeling of strict amity between tho sceptre and the press of this country, an amity which could not fail to be productive to literature and to literary men. The condescension on the part of his Royal Highness was as liberal as it was generous.—( Cheers.) There was a nat ural sym pathy between wisdom and liberality ; " Verily," the prophet Isaiah j says, " the liberal deviseth liberal things, and by liberal things shall he stand."—( Cheers.) The Constitution, with all its great blessings, was based upon public opinion, without any re ference to party. It was with much pleasure h e proposed " Henry Hallam and the Historians."--(Cheers. ) The toast was drunk amidst great applause. Mr. H. HALLAM, in returning thanks, said that he had ways taken a great interest in the Institution. Lord MAHON proposed "Mr. T. Moore and the Poete."____ (Loud cheering.) tlis Lordship said, that the poet whose' health he had the honour to propose was one who had shed ea undying lustre upon the English language and people.— ( Cheers.) He would ask, who had not been delighted with his writings ? He felt assured that they were ready to pay of the homage illustrious " To whom the lyre and laurels had been given, With all the trophies of triumphant song, He wore them well, and may he wear them long." The toast was drunk amidst great acclamation. Ur. T. MOORE briefly returned thanks. Mr. Moore's beautiful Irish melody— " Arid cloth not a meeting like this make emends For all the long years I've been wandering away :'" was sung by Mr. Broadhurst with great pathos and effect. Lord COLBORNE proposed " Mr. James and the Novelists,'" ( Drunk with applause. ) Mr. JAMES returned thanks. I Mr. MURCHISON prop ose d" Th e M arquis of Northampton, and the Scientific Literature of this Country." Trio Marquis of NORTIIA mrrox responded tc the toast. Mr. G. KNIGHT proposed ‘. Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, and the Dramatists."—(Drunk with great cheering.) Mr. Serjeant TA srourin, in an eloquent speech, acknow ledged the compliment. Owing to the late hour at which tS,a Serjeant addressed the meeting, it will be impossible fur t' to attempt even to give an abstract of what he said. Sir It. ING r.ts proposed " Washington Irving and th,e, Lite )--4Drunk ature of the United States."—(Great ;cheering , with great enthusiasm.) • Mr. WASIIINGTON IRVING briefly acknowledged the com pliment. Lord ASHLEY proposed "the Vice-President of the So ciety.'' Sir R. INGLis returned thank. Prince ALBERT rose and said,--I suppose, Gentlemen, you.. would not like to part without proposing the health of the ladies - (Loud cheering. ) Gentlemen, " The Ladies." Song—" Here's a h ea lth to a ll good lasses. " His Royal Highness left the chair a little before 12, the tarn band performing the National Anthem. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. HERALD.—The letters from Mexico advise of the agree able intelligence that a reduction in the duties on foreign manufactures is about to be operated to the extent of 0 8 per cent. This is an important concession, but a concession much, more in the interest of Mexico than of any foreign countries which may be benefited by the reformed tariff. It may be taken for granted that Mexico will gain more by the change, that 1:4 by the lowering of duties, in point of amount of custom-houses receipts, than by the late high and prohibitory duties, which, only led to a contraband trade on her sea-board in the Atlantic', and Pacific, by which she was defrauded of duties altog ether. The proposed remi ss i on o f d ut i es on w i nes and spirits thre, to the extent of 50 per cent., is intended to favour Spanish wines, and spirits, which are the general objects of consumption, and to the use of which the inhabitants have of course been long habituated. The liberal tariff of the Mexican Government comes opportunely to meet that large and liberal reduction IV duties on commodities, those of Mexico inclusive, which is eon• templated by the new tariff about to be passed here. A ('.% t.t. TO REsIsT THE INCONIE-TAX.—Theri.= should be some associations got up —some anti-Income-tax associations. What arc our old Reform friends about ? Have they sunk under the sudden success of poor miserable Sir Robert Peel ? Let us have associations and good fellowships and kindly feeling, and an understanding as to what. we can do when the tax is passed, and we shall soon make an end of Sir Robert Peel and his tax—let him politically expire with his tax about his neck, and go into private life politically hanged, and so he will do, and we shall he again happy in a reasonable and reforming Government. Let us have Anti income.tax associations —let us begin them. We were formerly famed for commencing any great reform in the Government ; this town particuiarly poured its whole strength into the oppo sition to the Income-tax being again laid on. Let the town try it once more, and we will cordially join them.-- Tyne Me 'Tun'.
