CITY OF LONDON NATIONAL SCHOOLS. The Eleventh Anniversary of this admirable Institution was celebrated yesterday. In the morning the chil dren were examined ; and in the afternoon His Royal High ness the Duke of You►( was graciously pleased to take the Chair at a dinner of the friends of the Charity at the City of London Tavern. The Committee directing the Charity act with one simple and determinate object in view—namely , the affording to the poor children of the Metropolis instruction adapted to their sta tion in ,this life, and conducive to their everlasting interests in another—instruction built upon a sound and stable foundation, and leading to useful and happy results. Their plain duty they conceived to be not merely to give educators, bet to take care at the. same time that that education be practical, and that it be Christian. In pursuance of this object they .have gone on gradually extending the number of poor chil dren educated .on the Mitdras system, and in the principles of the Established Church, from 40 to alcove 1,000; and they only want additional subscriptions to be enabled to educate 1,600 more. The expediency or inexpediency of affording knowledge to the humbler classes of society is a point which comes now too late to be discussed. The question for present consideration is not whether they shall be educated, but what sort of education they shall receive. With these feelings "and convictions the Committee have persevered, and under the Divine blessing have .prospered, in the good work of diffusing .national education under the sanctions, and in pure conformity to the principles, of the Established National Faith. With the valuable assist ance of the Committee of Ladies, who continue their kind and efftctive attentions to the Girls' Schools, superintending their progross in needle work and in other appropriate branches of female education, and with the exertions of the different Masters and Mistresses, stimulated anti directed by the Weekly Visitors and Examiners, the objects of the Institution have, in propor- Ition to its pecuniary ability, been fully and satisfactorily at- tained. The time which has elapsed since the formation of ' these Schools, during which period upwardis of Six Thousand Children' have been admitted:, has been atafficient to ascertain the effect produced in after life by the course of discipline and instruction pursued in them : and from the assurances received of the steadiness, assiduity, and fidelity . of many of the chil dren, who are now holding different services and employments in this City and elsewhere, it Clearly appears that the fair pro. .mice of the child has not been falsified by the conduct of the The examination of the Children yesterday was conducted by the Rev. W. H. Coleridge, and proved most satisfactory to the patrons and friends of th e Institution present ; among whom we noticed the Bishop s of London Lord Lilford, the Hon. D. Fi nc h , Si r C. S. and Limeri c k, Hunter Sir P. Laurie,'Mr. Archdeacon Bloo m fi e ld , M r. Ald e rman erowder , the Treasurer, Oliver Hatch, Ego the Secretary, the Rev. if. Hesketh, &c. • - His Royal Highness arrived punctually at six in the after. noon, and was received by nio st o f t h e a bove-named indivi duals, and also by,Aldermen Birch and Bridges, T. A. Curtis, Esq. many of the London Clergy, and a numerous assem blage of other Gentlemen. We rejoiced to see His Royal Highness in such high health and excellent spirits; he entered with zeal and earnestness into the concerns of the Charity, and seeme d highly gratified at the statements made of the progress of the Children. After dinner, Sit lumen Domini benedirtum was sung in fine style, as were various appropriate songs in the course of the evening. " Church and King" having been drank with great enthu siasm-- The Bishop of LONDON, in a short speech, proposed the health of the Royal Chairman, which was received with un bounded applause. His ROYAL HIGHNESS , in acknowledging the compliment paid him, expressed himself in terms of high approbation of a system which was calculated to bring up - so great a number of young persons in sound religious principles, and in attachment to that church which he regarded as an essential branch of the Constitution. Ile said it must be most gratifying to every re flecting mind to consider, that by such care bestowed on the rising generation every reasonable prospect was afforded of preventing crime and fitting them to their respective duties ; and that while they were forwarded in instruction suitable to enabled to grow up good sub. or w th e y re' members of the established Church. h Highness concluded by proposing the health of the Bishop of London. jests tetheir o respective t hh ieis r RKo yi stations, na ii ain a they worthy His Low:nitro, in returning thanks, eulogized the manage ment of the institution, which he conceived, after a long pro gressive advancement, had last year reached the utmost perfec tion of which such a plan is capable : nor had the examinations of this year fallen ofFfrom the preceding: The TnEa.svaEst then stated to the company the yearly amount of receipts and disbursements ; by which it appeared that a debt of 780/. had been contracted principally in making such repairs, enlargements, and alterations in the edifices as were absolutely required from tint. regard to the health of the numbers of children assembled in the schools. The Treasurer expatiated with great force on the henefiCial effect of the Insti tution ; and appealed to the feelings of all around him on the gratification ofknowing that so many as 6000 poor children had already been trained up in sound, religious and loyal principles and sent out into the world with every prospect of becoming valuable members of society. Great care, he said, had been taken to procure accurate returns of persons brought before the Magistrates for offences ; and it was ascertained that in four years only fotir children out of the thousands trained up in these schools had becOme subject to that degradation. He stated the absolute necessity of the eapence s w hich had been incurred , and threw himself upon the company for the support adequate to the necessity 'of the Institution. $0 powerful was the effect of this and similar appeals in the course of the evening, that the contributions made in the room covered and exceeded the whole amount of the debt above stated. Many other toasts were drank, and several speeches were made, tending strongly to illustrate the beneficial effect of the present schools, and the imperative. duty which lay on the wealthy ciiizens of London to carry still further a system so salutary. • •" • DESTRUCTIVE FinE.—Yester4hy morning, nt half-past two, the watchman on the beat discovered the lower part of the premises of Mr. W!ICaFORD, druggist, corner of the Three Tuns Inn, Whitechapel, to be on fire. Before the arrival of any of 'the engines from the differentfire-offices, the: flames had reached the entire of the premises, which, with the stock in trade, were consumed. The tire. communicated, with reifisiless fury, to . the l'hree Tuns Inn; and shortly converted :it into a heap of ashes. With the greatest difficulty 'the horses_ wcre saved. Several adjoining houses were iseritously injured. INDIA. ( Extracts from the Calcutta Monthly Journal, Sept. 8 .) CALCUTTA INSURANCE OFFICES. It gives us great pleasure to record an insurance of liberality highly creditable to the Insurance Offices of this'cliy. They have, we understand, subscribed as a present to Captain Hard ing, the Officers, and some of the men of the Argyle; as well as the Pilot (Mr. Warden) who was.on , board when she was ,found to be on tire, one per cent. upon the sum insured in each Office, plaiting an aggregate of above twelve thousand Rupees, as a mark of their approbation for the exertions made by the parties referred to, in putting out the tire. Such a praise. worthy - donation, so judiciously bestowed, will serve, we trust, as a stimulating example to others in any similar case. CALCUTTA MEDICAL AND PHYSICAL SOCIETY. At the Meeting of the Medical and Physical Society, held on Saturday evening last, there was a very numerous attend, &nee of members and visitors interested in the prosperity of the institution. Two distinguished individuals, Major- General Hardwicke and the Hon. Sir C. Grey, of Madras, were elected Honorary Members of the Society, and several new names were added to the list of Non-residents. We are happy to learn that this is daily increasing, and alieady comprises a very large proportion of the Medical Gentlemen pf both ser vices on this establishment, besides some belonging to the sister Presidencies. Of the advantages to be derived from such an association properly conducted, there can eatist but one opi nion, Societies of this description at home have 'conferred-la-st ing benefits upon science, and we confidently entertain the hope that an equal degree of usefulness will ultimately be found to result from this one now established among oarselves. Among many instructive communications read at the Meet ing on Saturday, there was one of more particular interest from its detailing the effects of the new remedy lodine in Goitre (Giaga of the natives.) This disease, we understand, is extreme ly common in some districts of India, and the acquisition of so powerful an agent in its removal becomes therefore an object of the first importance. Though known for several years to the scientific world as a distinct chemical principle similar to Oxygen, Ciorine, &c., lodine has but very recently been applied to the practice of medicine, and it is on that ac count the more essential that every fact connected-with its ad ministration in Goitre or other diseases should be carefully noted and recorded. We should be glad to know whether, as it is a mere production, some plants or fuci may not be found on the shores of India, to yield lodine in greater abundance than those from which it has hitherto been obtained at home. This would seem highly probable from •the water of the ocean, containing a larger proportion of saline ingredients in hot than in temperate climates; and thereby it may be presumed, im parting a character of greater intensity to the vegetable elements, in whose formation it is accessary. Another subject of great interest to all classes of the community, was brought before the Meeting; namely, the destruction occasioned to timber by various kinds of insects. Specimens of the Paroges were ex hibited, of the Temas Fatalis, or white Ant, and the Teredo Nayalis; and the Members were solicited to direct their re searches with a view to discovering the best mode of preventing these destructive effects. FESTIVITIES AT NUSSERABAD. Ille potens sui Laetusque deget, cui licet in diem Dixisse, viii. TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. Sln—Our Assembly Rooms are at last finished, and the whole station met in them last evening 4t a Masquerade and Ball, by the invitation of Sir D. Ochterloney, and I have sel dom witnessed a scene of more joy and hilarity : • 1 1 " I can't describe it, though so much it strike ; " Nor liken it—l never saw the like." I will however do my best to give you some idea of the dif ferent characters. • Our excellent host was drest in the full costume of a high land chieftain, as was also another son of Caledonia. Moll Flannagan was supported with great tact, and Old Sally inimitable : her soldier's jacket and coloured handkerchief, her ready repartee, in fact, her tout ensemble excited the admiration of all. His sable Majesty was there—" seek ing whom he might devour ;" his character was well sustained. Two sailors were admirable: a Dandyzett, a danc ing bear and leader, a Jew, a Clown, and Harlequin,—a Lady of five and twenty stone, a Magician, several old Ladies, a Hussar Officer, two or three Moguls. Tom, Jerry, and Logic, were all supported with more or less vivacity, and went off with eclat. Dr. Spurzheim's dress and manner were excellent, and excited universal admiration. At about 10 o'clock his Majesty's Court of King's Bench was opened by Lord Chief Justice Prosem, who delivered an admirable address. The cause tried was Lady Bridget Fe-Fa- Fum v. Miss Pcdly Whispermuch, for defamation. The plead ings were opened by Mr. Serjeant Split Case, and carried on by Serjeant Bothertun, for the plaintiff; and Serjeants Wrangleand Spin-Case, for the defendant. The witnesses were Dr. Spurs heim, Tim O'Liffy, • and Mr. O'Brien, O'Phelim; ONeal D'Courcy, O'llalloran.—Dr. Spurzhehn dilated with a great deal of gesture and spirit on the amiable " boomps of the ade," conspicuous in Lady Bridget, and those of a contrary nature on the cranium of Miss Whispermuch ; the Irish evidence ex cited applause ; and that of Mr. O'Halloran was given with such knowingness, in such a brogue, in fact with such Irish ness, (if we may so express it), that the whole room was in a roar—as the card of invitation imposed no necessity of coming in character, many appeared in propria persona. None of the Ladies were in mask, and only five in fancy dresses ; one appeared in the becoming and handsome dress of Mary Queen of Seots; made of white satin, with black trim mings, and I could almost fancy myself in company with that beautiful and once happy woman; a second Lady was dressed in the Swiss costume, and looked well ; two others in the habits of country girls, with cottage bonnets. The exquisite simpli city of this dress, (which, I think, the prettiest I ever saw), the ease and grace of the wearers, arrested the attention and drew forth the applause of all; a fifth Lady appeared in some what of the Grecian costume, her hair being dressed in the true lonian style, which is particularly becoming. All the other 1:a -dies were in ordinary ball dresses. At about twelve, most of the maskers unrobed and re appeared in their usual dress; the dancing then commented, and was continued with great spirit until two, when supper was announced, and the company adj ," " the King," " t o h u e rn D ed uk t e o te o n f ts, y w or h k e; they theL sat down a die e repast. After supper, and and " sir E. Paget," had been drank, the dancing was carried ort with great vivacity until four o'clock, and the Ladies departed Just before " old Titan's daughter tinged the eastern sky"--mod the gentlemen returned to the supper table, there they quaffed " The claret smooth, red as the lip we preps In sparkling fancy, while we drain the bowl ; The mellow tasted burgundy ; and quick, As is the wit it gives, the gay champaign ;" • and it was not until Phoebus had " driven far his fiery steeds" that all the guests retired. On the whole, nothing could have gone off better than this entertainment. I cannot describe to you the pleasure and satis faction which illumined every countenance : all appeared de termined to please and be pleased. Our worthy and respected host was in the highest spirits : all was joy and delight ; there the brow of the misanthrope (if any suck were present) soften ed down from, its usual asperity, and showed that he could sym pathise and participate in the joy of his brother men. There, he whose temper had been soured and heart corroded by the frequent " stings and arrows of outrageous fortune," forgot, for the evening at least, the-cares which were wont to preyupon his mind and lost himself in the general happiness which stir.: r ounded him. There it was that he found " the heart must Leap kindly back to kindness, though disgust H a th wean 'd it back from waldings ;” 'But enough, I am at my old tricks again,—prosing. Your's, &c. NEreo.

While allusion is occasionally made to the, more brilliant movements of British power in the East, institutions whose obi jects are unostentatious usefulness and plain benevolence are! apt to be overlooked by the superficial observer. One of these! " The Seminary at Kidderpore, for the orphan daughters. " of British O ffi cers." Understanding that the young people: were to haie a dance last evening, we accompanied a party O[ friends to the scene of juvenile festivity.

SIR—It requires but very little observation to convince. us that there is, an immense distance between the stupidity of some . animals and the sagacity of others, considered as separate races. its much indeed as there is between the ignorance of some and the wisdom of other individuals of the same race, as well anion g brutes as with man. In both cases, too,. it will be ad s mined, that though superior sagacity ought to enable its pos sessors to become the most useful beings of each class, yet it is often the distinction of the most mischievous only, - as the swindler in the human race, and the monkey among brute animals. So alSo excessive stupidity may now and then belong to the most useful of each, as the country clown who cultivates the earth for the use of man, and the came', who perhaps rani ders more service to his owner for the cost of ptifchase and maintenance than any other animal known, and without which indeed the intercourse with all distant countries separated_ by barren wastes could not all exist. It is one of the last mentioned animals, and oneh . ighlipiiieci. for its excellent qualities by his master, th a t . lite. heard, the following anecdote, the authenticity of which )nay be, re. lied on, though its parallel in simplicity will not be easily found : This camel belonged to a gentleman at Debli, and was de, livered of its first-born at the usual season. it happened, however, that after the birth the young camel was taken from her, and the first object on which the dam cast her eyes was a young man who had been sent to *attend - her during the de livery. The camel mistaking this youth for its offspring; caressed him as if he were actually her own of and be came so jealous of his moving from . her, that he could - liever get away without throwing his outer gartnenti - round a person of his own size, and leaving him to keep hie place till his return. _ _ To add to the excessive stupidity of this animal in tnakitig so unnatural a mistake, it should be mentioned that when its own real offspring was brought to her, she rejected it entirely; and continued her maternal intentions to the young adopted son for months afterwards. . Deeming this a fact of too curious a nature to be lost, I send - it to you for insertion in your interesting Paper, to be added to the great variety of facts of which it has already been, nud I hope, long continue to be, the repository.
