BREMEN, MAY B.—The Senate of Bremen has just met to consider of means to assist the unfortunate city of Hamburgh. THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The number of fugitives in crease. The Senate has decided that our troops .shall be sent with all speed to Hamburgh, and all our car riages are put in requisition to convey assistancei and provisions. Thousands of unhappy beings have been wandering for these two days in the streets, unable to find shelter, they having lost their all, and perishing from want and misery. It is feared the number of persons s.vh have lost their lives must be frightful. Groups of half naked women and children, holding up their hands to Heaven, and imploring consolation and help, which no human poWer can give them. FRANKFORT, ➢IAY 10.—It is reported that news from llamburgh has been received, which is more favourable. But we must now think of affording it immediate help, for its misfortunes are immense. The fire continued till the Bth, in the evening, and 30,000 passed the night on the ramparts. A banker of this city has received by Estaffette news that the Bank of Hamburgh has resumed its operations. FRANKFORT, MAY 11.—The Senate had fixed theisutn which it proposed to take from the public treasury as a gift to the city of. Hamburgh at 25,000 florins, but the representatives of the citizens and the legislative body has raised the sum to 100,0001. florins (about 10,0001.)

The departures for town after this race were numerous, and there being only two races made for Thursday, I did.not wait for them. The room at Tattersall's has been this week so crowded, that the new building is hailed with gene ral satisfaction. The prices of horses now vary hourly ; three bets out of four are now made to square the book, and be it remembered that this ope ration 'should be concluded on Monday next, the post poneinent entailing a considerable risk, as Thursday next and the folloxing days are completely taken up by the comparing all bets made in the last year and three quarters. Coldrenick (the name given to the Frederica colt) has been hacked for more money than any horse ever was yet in the same space of time.; when we remember the posi tion of John Day's favourites in the several Derby's, - Venison, Grey Momus, the Melody colt, each of these being third in the race, and seeing daily the enormous sums of money that pour into the market, I think we are bound to believe that the Stockbridge• nag is no . Cobham ! no Sleight-of-Hand! As to his winning the Derby, I give my opinion on Monday week and not before, but that he is a good horse I firmly believe. Attila has not been in such demand, I indeed, it is not possible he should retain his place, while Scott has three other horses in the betting, and backed. These expressions are distinct and widely - . different. Canadian was not mentioned on Thurs day, and Auckland was not backed for more than a rouleau (5O1.). There is annually some country horse backed at the last moment, and I fancy Cheops will this year obtain the prize awarded to the horse that starts without entering any man's bookuntil one fortnight before the race.

The Cologne Gazette has opened a subscription at its office, to which, in a few minutes, 4,000 francs were contributed by 150 persons. The Ilandelsblad, at Amsterdam, and several Brussels Journals, offer to receive subscriptions, and we (the Journal 'du Commerce d'Anvers) have been solicited by several persons to receive subscriptions at our office. We doubt not that Antwerp, as a commercial city, must par ticularly sympathise with Hamburgh, and will not be behind Frankfort, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Brussels ; and other subscriptions will soon be opened, to afford some relief to distresses so deplorable and so extreme. We this moment learn that a subscription is opened at the Hanseatic Consulate. The fresh subscriptions received on 'Change by the Hanseatic Consul and those at the office of the Journal du Commerce d'Anvers, already exceed 20,000 francs.

BERLIN, ATAY 11.—From the Prussian State Gazette— " We, Frederick William, King of Prussia, &c., &c., to all to whom these present come greeting. By the in scrutable decree of God, the city of Hamburgh has been destroyed by a fire, such us there has been none in Ger many within the memory of man. " The dreadful misery and distress of that city whose prosperity is so intimately connected with Germany, Will, as we confidently expect, be felt throughout the whole of our German fatherland, and especially by our faith ful subjects, as a general misfortune. In order, there fore, to afford our faithful subjects an opportunity of manifesting their sympathy by deeds ; and con sidering the extraordinary extent of • the disaster, we have ordered that in all the communes of our dominion, a general collection shall be made in all the churches, and from house to house, for the relief of the sufferers by the fire at Hamburgh, and our Minister of the Inte rior, and of Ecclesiastical Affairs are to see to the exe cution of this ordinance.

V HE Nobility, Gentry, Professional Gentlemen -a- Bankers, Merchants, and the inhabitants of London and is vicinity, are respectfully informed that L. HYASI, TAILOR, Wholesale Woollen Draper and Outfitter, has OPENED those splendid and spacious PREMISES denomi nated the PAN'I'ECEINETHECA, next door to Messrs. Christy's, the celebrated hat manufacturers, No. 36, Grace church-street, London, as a fashionable tailoring, woollen dra pery, and general outfitting establishment. In all new under takings it is neeessary to enter into an explanation of the system on which the business is to'be conducted. His intention is to establish one of the largest, cheapest, and best conducted con cerns ever established in or out of the metropolis, having a thorough knowledge of business, unlimited capital, besides having several first. rate establishments in most of the principal towns in the kingdom. The Proprietor is enabled in conse quence of his large consumption to buy goods frem the best manufacturers considerably under price , and as his sy s te m i s to sell as cheap as he b u y s , charging a uniform per centage, those who honour that establishment with their patronage will find his stock the cheapest and best selected in London. An icspection of the annexed list of prices will convince the most sceptic and cautious that he can nowhere else meet with equal advantages. The Proprietor challenges the West-end to excel him in any of the requisites of gentlemanly dress, and his charge for a whole suit does not amount to that demanded for a single garment, even by most of the houses who boast of the economy of their arrangements. Trial is the test—let it be made, and conviction must follow : Gentlemen's fine dress coats, from £l 3 oto 2 '2 () Extra imperial ditto, the beat quality manufactured SURTOUT AND FROCK COATS.

Mourning to any extent made at the shortest notice. Another feature of this Establishment is its system of con • tracts, by which gentlemen obtain four suits at a less price than they have hitherto paid fur two. Gentlemen, to whom fashion, economy, and regularity are an object, are recommended to contract by the year, the following List of Prices being the lowest ever yet offered : SECOND QUALITY. Two suits of superfine cloth, any colour £6 10 0 Three ditto ditto ditto 9 10 0 Four ditto ditto ditto WARRANTED THE BEST MANUFACTURED. Two suits of West of England wool dyed, the best quality that can be made £3 0 0 Three ditto' ditto ditto... l2 0 0 Four ditto ditto ditto l5 15 0 Velvets, collars, &c., extra, and so in proportion to each suit; each suit to be returned on the receipt of its successor. Gentlemen contracting for three or more suits arc allowed two suits in wear during the whole term. An extensive assortment of C. Mackintosh and Co.'s pa tent waterproof India rubber coats, cloaks, capes, &c., con stantly on hand. Gentlemen residing at a distance can be waited upon by one of the travellers with patterns, &c., on re ceiving an intimation to that effect. " Every hour, every minute of Lord Snowdon's time was now occupied in preparations for the reception of the Royal party. Gunter was forthwith called into council ; Edgington was summoned in the tent and marquee department." BENJAAIIN EDGINGTON respectfully in forms the Nobility and Gentry that. the Royal Pavilion used on the occasion of Prince Albert's laying the First Stone of the 1103 al Exchange, and is the largest, the most lofty, and splendid circular tent in the world, is now adapted as a mag nificent Ball Room and may be erected in any part of the United Kingdom. Tents and Marquees, with boarded floors for dancing, for large and small parties, may be had on the shortest notice, of any di mensi , ns ; but as there is only one tent 300 feet in circumfer ence, those who desire to secure it will please give early notice.

London: How and Parsons, 132, Fleet-street. THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. On SATURDAY, the 14th of May, was 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 interesting events of the day, in addition to 48 columns of mews. The object of this publication is not merely to register the current events of in terest at home, to give lengthened details of occurrences abroad, 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 Affghanistan, 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. Cilltiespondences 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 fur giving with more than usual effect the fullest aid 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. Tile illustrations are entirely confided to Messrs. Vizetelly and Co., and will be en graved under their supe r i n t en d ence , to i nsure t h e pu bli c aga i nst anything of an inferior character being introduced into the columns of this newspaper. Orders received by every newsman and bookseller through out the kingdom. Office, 320, Strand, London, where adver tisements, books for review, and all communications are re quested to be addressed. Her Majesty's Grand Fancy Dress Ball.—No. I. will con tain numerous engravings of the various costumes, and every particular of this interestiuz fete. • M. Horace, Vernet hag - entered into a contract with Messrs.

The Second Spring Meeting is not likely to be abolished. Although your reporter annually argues that the town would be benefittcd by its utter anni hilation, and I believe I have ere now followed on the same side, I am quite sure, while certain old gentlemen survive, this meeting (if meeting is the word), will take place, if there be only one race i n th e th ree lays. 1 never remember a more respectable entry for the Rowley Mile Plate. Ballinkeel (how came he there? Is the Jockey Club's notice to Mr. Dixon with drawn ? I can do no more this day than ask the question ?) instead of frightening others away, seemed to attract all the available animals in the town, no less than three in one stable being desir ous of competing with him. The betting on this race was a farce ; about a hundred pounds was laid on the Irish horse at evens, and 6 to 4 et voila _ - -- tout. I have known thousands depending on this race; but you cannot have your plumcake if you eat it, consequently, if we lose our money at Chester, we have it not to lose at Newmarket. A finer race I have never seen. Seahorse wins by a head, Ballin keel beats Rosalind a head ; the same specific distance separating this mare from Robert Grimstone ; pshaw! I mean Robert de Gorham ; and Rover is not a neck behind. Ballinkeel is thus no horse for Epsom ; he may be speedy, but he does not look made to go on ; moreover, the form is very different. A race-horse would lose the whole tribe across the flat. The most interesting match of the day was off. I allude to Oakley and Scutari. The races commenced at one o'clock. Why ? For the benefit of post-horses, I suppose. Poor devils ! they are little thought of in the race to see the same. Envy us, pray, for you know not the luxury of kicking your heels about Newmarket from 3 o'clock till 6, watching the clouds of dust, and wishing the watermen up to their necks in their favourite ponds. The first race on Wednesday was the Jockey Club Plate : in my notice of the last meeting here I expressed my surprise that Barbara should beat Flambeau, weight for age ; it was contrary to all pub lic running, as well as expectation. Flambeau must then have been amiss, as, for this Plate, giving 3lbs. more weight, he beat the mare in a canter. In the next race, the half sister to Flambeau was absolutely last; the best judges backed her so freely, that I really thought all her previous performances must have been wrong. The unfortunate little boy that rode Lord Kelburne's colt was sadly blamed ; but why put the saddle on the rider I know not, for the mare Ma Mie won in a canter, and is in the Oaks. Mr. Newton, I believe, ran horses about 17 years without winning a race : what can be ping to happen besides the burning the City of Hamburgh, and making sausage-meat of two hundred and forty indi viduals on the Versailles Railroad, for Mr. Newton has won twice in three weeks ? If any one had looked at Lord Kelburne's colt, they would ss,4r-ely have blamed the rider. Seveti started for the Sualk Stakes, value therefore to the winner, 3551.; every one knew which would be the first two horses in the race, for Judea told them last Monday, and he certainly is entitled to some credit for the selection, for the excellence of the handicap is proved by the fact, that every horse starting was freely backed in the morning, or on the course. The first favourite, the Devil-among-the Tailors, was beat off; as nobody, I belie e, ever thought him good, save and except his respected owner. I did not imagine this running would have any effect on the position of Attila in the Derby , EPSOM RACES. The f;)llowing horses arrived at Epsom in the course of the last week :—Scott's lot ; Lord Chesterfield's All fours, Sir Harry, Dil-bar, and filly by Muley Moloch, out of Young Petuaria ; Mr. Bower's Meteor, and the Ladye of Silverkeld Well ; Colonel Anson's Attila and The Puncher, and Mr. liirby-'s Lanercost (f or th e A scot Cup) ; Mr. Greville's Rory O'More, and Mr. Payne's Lady Fulford colt. Nearly all. the stables are engaged, and as the turf is now in excellent condition, a great number of other arrivals may be expected early in - the week. LATEST BETTING ON THE DERBY, &c.

GORHAMBURY RACES. The following horses had arrived on Saturday : Duke of Richmond's The Currier; Mr. Combo's Rosa lind; Mr. Beresford's Bob Peel, and Sister to Indolence, 2 yrs ; Mr. J. Bird's c by Redshank, out of Amadis, 2 yrs ' • Lord Verulam's Nomination, a co lt, by Bi zarre, out of Esperance, 2 yrs; Mr. Ford's Ballet and Humbug, 2 yrs ; Mr. Treen's fluitoe ; Colonel Peel's Archy, &c. The beneficial effect of the late rains will, no doubt, cause many others to be sent that would otherwise have been reserved for Epsom. The list promises seven races each day, some of them heat ; and we hear that the first race on Tuesday will be at two o'clock. This may suit the higher class, but certainly not th e general visitors, as frOM the delay that invariably arises out of gentlemen riding, there is no chance of the sports being finished before six or seven o'clock; taking into consideration the distance from town, the last heat ought to be over by five. Lord Verulam will entertain a large party during the races. We arc sorry to hear that unfavourable accounts have been received of the health of Christopher Wilson, Esq., Father of the Turf.

OF LADIES' DRESS ME OF QUEEN PHILIPPA. I beheld them on a day When their looks out-flourished May ; And their dressing did out-brave All the pride the fields then have. BEN JOHNSON. EMBROIDERED SHIFTS.—These, ornamented at the bosoms and collars with needle-work, were much in fashion in Queen Philippa's time, and "shifts white and plaited" are frequently spoken of as part of the habit belonging to an elegant lady of the period. The chemise of Lady Triamore is described to be "white chaisil, with embellished borders, and laced on both sides ;" another poet speaks of a " chemise of chaisil, delicately wrought with thread." If we may take the word of Mistress Girtred (Heywood), they cost as much as three pounds a piece. THE PARTELETS.—These were made of various stuffs of the most valuable and delicate kind ; they were made generally of Venice gold, white thread, lawn, and wrought with gold about the collars. THE TIPPET.—This much resembled the partelet ; it was worn about the neck, and varied in size and form, being sometimes large and long as a mantle. THE BANDS for the neck were propped up with wires ; others fell upon the shoulders, and were denominated falling bands. In a comedy of the time, a gallant be speaks of a milliner five yards of lawn to make his mistress some falling bands, " three falling one upon the other; that (says he), is the new edition." THE COTE OR COAT.—This dress was much affected by well-made women of fashion ; it was a dress beau tifully adapted to the spring and summer ; it was with out lining, and fitted so closely to the body that on slim personable shapes it showed off the form to great ad vantage. These small coats were called petit-cotes (whence our modern petticoat) ; they had, however, generally trains to them, and were then called long cotes : women of fashion wore them dashingly orna mented with ermine and miniver. THE WAISTCOAT.—This was also a ladies' garment ; the following entry - among the Harleian MSS. describes them :—" Two wastcotes for women, being of clothe of silver, embroidered ; both of them havin g s l eeves ." THE lincrLE, or Kirtel, was frequently a habit of State, and worn by persons of high rank : these were of different textures and different colours, but especially of green ; and were sometimes laced so closely to the body, as to answer the service of the boddice or stays. We find the following measures for the Queen's Kirtle, viz., wore them yards and half a quarter of cloth ; and in another instance was large and 7 yards of purple cloth of damask gold for the same pur ven:', only p m o a, s rd e He ; Eo t r i s l r ‘ut F Er Ll ße l e. l: yu, a e Nr O di U cs rLja rrt d ah i v,i e s s n , 7 ll e o ss t w ain ' t e i loose, having broad and deep sleeves ; was made with marble cloth, or cloth of variegated colours, like the veins of marble. bweescainii 7.nivigiEl:es when white ip, preferred eerseerarnlc:,de rniet i ctoeo l f y tteh p nes l jamiii coat.t,erdd ae i l t i a dlatsinet from the eilfiiPaid3a;shedmayet:itered by them selves,THE SOSQUENIE or surquanye is mentioned by Wil liam de Lorris as the handsomest dress that apalartycucioauril3d, pa i r of purple satin sleeves for passed Ilvvirtohuggohltd with so that in the inventories body-vestment ofh i e n r Queen w oni women I N v ) h , thus : " three women : one pair of linen sleeves, f t l l o le we t r ir s m b , et q w t. 6 ti e l n te t d he w p i a tl iies b , lack and at the hand s : one pair of s!eeves of purple gold tissue . damask wire, each sleeve men and women. silver tissue and da tied. with aglets of gold: one pair of crimson satin sleeves, four buttons of gold being set upon each sleeve, and in old often wore every button nine pearls. satin,pearls, and lined tlhe'remnQEouriS:peTiulOiptlitedCglototElhdae,r raisedl ladiesr'a s c o ol m vfi n t 10 thens tot:. embroidered a m l t l is o k ve w r i l r ‘ e ,i , o rd fla t t mo u t o h ld er , ao Lcr d im am so a n sk with sarcenet. .. THE APRON, called by the old poets the lap-cloth, be came fashionable among persons of the highest rank, and was made of the most costly materials.

THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The anniversary of this Institution, established in 1815, was celebrated on Saturday at the Freemason's Tavern. The Duke of Buccleueh took the chair, and was supported on the right by Colonel Sir Augustus D'Este, and on the left by the Chisholm. There were also at the cross-table, Sir Allan M'Nab, Adiniral John stone, Sir Duncan M'D ouga l , M r. O g d en, Attorney-Ge neralfor Canada ; J. J. Hope Johnstone, M.P. ; H. H. Lindsay, Esq., M.P. ; P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P. ; Major Oliphant, Captain Forbes, Captain Laihont, R.N..; Geo. Foirbes, Esq., and other supporters of this excellent In stitution. About one hundred and fjfty sat down to dinner, which was served up in good style. The gallery was filled with well-dressed ladies—Miss Stephens; Miss Hobbs, sung some excellent songs. Mr. Wilson also volunteered his services on the occasion. Mr. Broad hurst and Co., as usual, were present, and what, with the martial and national music played by the pipers, of the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Sutherland, and a nume rous band, the fine appearance of the bays, amounting to about seventy, dressed in the Highland costume, the affability, good taste, and appropriate speeches of the Noble Chairman, and the liberal subscriptions made in the course of the evening, the t ntertainment was com pletely successful. The CHAIRMAN, in a neat introductory speech, gave " the Queen," which was drunk with great enthusiasm. In proposing " Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales," his Grace said he gave the toast with peculiar satisfac tion. The country justly looked with great interest to the young Prince, who, with the blessing of God, was destined to fill the throne of these realms, and long may, the time be before that event takes place.—(Great cheer ing.) He coupled his name with that of his Royal father, and next to that of his Illustrious mother—two personages alike distinguished for their public and pri vate virtues, and for most of the accomplishments that adorn society. The country had reason to be grateful that the Heir Apparent to the Throne was brought up under such guardians, and might hope that when he was entrusted with the Government he would imitate their bright example.— (Cheers„) The next toast was " the Queen Dowager, the Pa troness of the Institution, and the rest of the Royal Family," which was followed by that of " the Duke of Sussex, the President." His Grace in giving these toasts paid a high compliment to Queen Adelaide, for her charity and liberality, and to the Duke of Sussex, for his distinguished support of every charitable institution, foreign as well as native. Sir A. D'EsTE returned thanks for his Royal father, who, lie was proud to say, had proved himself a friend to iir, anl science, and had long taken an interest in in stirstions like that which they had met that evening to ce T .ebrate. His father had been a supporter of the Ca lcslonian Asylum from its commencement. He was Stroud to follow the example, and lend any little aid he could afford, for several reasons, and for one in particu lar—becauSe it was connected with a country to which his mother belonged.—(Cheers.) He was happy also to see it patronised by the Noblema n w h o so a bl y f il le d the chair, the chi e f o f the house of Buccleueh, who was se cond in rank only to royalty, but was not second in pride of family, in power, and in those great, as well as amiable, qualities which bad distinguished his Illus trious line—who set a noble example example to others of conjugal and domestic duty, and who might be justly styled a father to his tenants.—(Loud cheers.) The CHISHOLM then proposed " The health of the Duke of Buccleueh," for which his Grace briefly re turned thanks. The boys were marched into the 'room, preceded by three pipers, playing Highland airs. The exhibition was highly gratifying, and did great credit to the llev. Mr. Lees, the Superintendent and Secretary, and to Mrs. Lees, the Matron of th e I ns ti tut i on. T hey were hand somely dressed in the Stuart tartan, with the kilt and Highland bonnet, showed great good health and spirits, and as they were drawn up round the hall excited loud applause both from the guests and the ladies in the gallery. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Caledonian Asylum," said the exhibition which they saw around must be highly gratifying to the supporters of this excellent In stitution, which had been formed towards the close of the long war, and was intended for the education and maintenance of the children of Scotehmen who had fallen in battle. It was only paying a debt of gratitude to their fathers, distinguished alike for their bravery and love of country. This was no common charity like those, the object of which wao, to raise a su m of * money, and then no mor e i s thought of them. It was a useful, as well as a charitable Institution ; it was conducted on the strictest moral and religious discipline ; the boys Were brought up under the eye of their excellent governor, Mr. Lees, properly educated for professions and trades, and fitted for performing the duties of good Christians and good men. Through the liberality of numerous sub scribers, a sAacious building h a d b een erecte d , b ut h e regretted to•state that, owing to want of funds only a portion of it was occupied. There was roue yet for twenty-six boys, in addition to those en the establish ment. He trusted, however, alb... there would nut be cause for this complaint long, ancrthat the public as well as those preser.t would contribute liberally, in order to enable the Directors to make up the compliment to at bast one hundred boys. He had little to add, and in deed words were not necessary, but would simply op peal to the delightful sight before them—to the fine ap pearande of the children, which, he was sure, delighted every heart.—(Loud cheers.) Tho Report was read by one of the Treasurers, as we un nnderstood, but was very imperfectly heard. We learned, however, that the School had been inspected and the boys examined by Dr. Brown, a minister of the Presby terian Church in London, on Monday last, who reported that everything went off well, and that the condition of the boys, as regarded their religious, their moral and literary education, did great credit to the Rev. Mr. Lees, and fully warranted the important trust placed in him by the Directors. The following is a brief account of the origin and present state of the Asylum. It owed its origin in a great measure to the Highland SoCiety, and in a very short time subscriptions were raised to the amount of 10,0001. Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., with that liberality and benevolence for which he is distinguished, advanced one thou sand pounds towards forwarding the object, in anti cipation of contributions from his friends in Bombay, which was afterwards more than realised. In 1814 the Highland Society transferred the management of the Asylum to the Subscribers, when a Committee of their number was appointed, and measures adopted for orga nising the Institution ; and on the 14th of June, 1815, it was incorporated by Act of Parliament. From una voidable circumstances, the Institution was not opened for the reception of children until December 1819, when the Committee, having procured premises in Cross -street Hatton-garden, admitted 12 boys on the foundation : the number was afterwards gradually increased to 40, being the utmost that the building could accommodate, with proper regard to the health of the inmates. These pre mises were found unsuitable, and being from their locality incapable of 'extension, it became necessary to remove the establishment to a more eligible situation. Two acres of freehold ground were purchased in Copenhagen-fields, Islington; the foundation of' a suitable building sins laid on the 17th May, 1827, and completed in September 1828, when the establishment was removed. The building erected, although in itself complete, forms only the centre part of a design, which can at any time be pro gressively extended, or completed, as the means of the Corporation increase. It is capable of containing 100 children; but, at present, there are only 76 boys on the establishment, being the utmost that the funds of the Institution can support. The children are, admitted from the age of seven to 10 years, and retained until they have arrived at fourteen, -when they are apprenticed to trades, or otherwise disposed of, according to circumstances. They receive a plain, useful education, and the utmost care i s b es t owe d on their • moral and religious instruction, under the super intendence of a clergyman . of the Church of neotland ; and they are once a-year publicly examined by the Presbytery of the Scottish Church. in London. The Institution has from its commencement been ho noured with 'the patronage of the Royal family. His Royal Highness the Duke -of Sussex was President of the Highland Society when the measure was first pro posed, and afterwards, when revived in 1 8 / 3 ; and his Royal Highness, as well as his late illustrious brothers, the Dukes of York and Kent, who were successively Presidents of the Caledonian Asylum, uniformly pro moted its interests by their influence and patronage." The Rev. JOHN LEES read the list of subscriptions for the evening, the first of which was a munificent dona tion of fifty guineas from the Duke of Buccleueh, in addition to fifty guineas already subscribed ; Duke of Roxburgh 26 guineas, Lord Baddo 10 guineas, Sir Allan M‘Nab 10 guineas, Lady Glenlyon 10 guineas, in addition to 26 guineas formerly subscribed ; Dr. Tweedie 10 guineas, Sir Charles Forbes 10 guineas'; two of his sons 5 guineas each ; The Chisholm 10 guineas, and a great niaay smaller sums, amounting altogether to about sooL After the usual toasts to the Vice-Presidents, Direc tors, and other officers, which were duly acknowledged, Sir AUGUSTUS IYESTE proposed the health of the gal lant Gentleman on his right, Sir Allan INPNab. His name was well known, and honourably known to the public here, as well as to his brave cotmtrymcn in bravery, and fituness, had Canada. His promptitude, contributed in no small degree to the repulse of the sympathisers, and the complete suppression of the insur rection in that important colony.—(Applause.) Sir ALLAN 3PNAB, on rising to return thanks, was greeted with loud cheers. He was not a Scoteh man, h e said, though now an adopted son ; but hi s f at h er wasborn He in had Scotland, oe " the St a t e some service, " and that formed the proudest ev en t o f hi s l i fe. He and 1m was proud of hi s origin. was highly flattered by the encomiums passed on his ex ertions, and those who acted with him ; and in justice to the brave Canadians, and their own countrymen who had em igrated to that colony, he was bound to say that he was nobly supported. Should another attack be made, he had no fear - as to the result, for he had left behind many who would gallantly perform their duty to them selves and to their country.—(Load cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave the Presbytery of London and in the absence of all the members, the Bev. Mr. Lees briefly returned thanks. The Duke left the Chair about half-past eleven, when the company separated. Mr. Wood, ChairmaiiThrthe Excise, had au interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Friday, at his official residence in Downing-street. ?" I 52: 1. I fitii i 4 ,. 1100;
