Old ilfystery of the " Ludus Coventrice." The forthcoming Royal Masque, which this evening will throw the Palace into sumptuous splen dour, has caused us to ransack the old chronicles of the time of Edward the Third, and his charming consort the Queen Philippa, to supply for the edifica tion of our readers an account of the Court Masques which that Monarch and his Queen were fond of holding in the bygone fourteenth century, and so to furnish them with the means of drawing a contrast with the noble Prince and Queen who now, in the nineteenth, revive in their own persons, long-faded remembrances of past history and its characters. In the Wardrobe-rolls, then, of Edward 111., there is an account of the dresses for furnishing the masques of the King, which he held on Shrove Sunday, and in which the Monarch himself-was the chief actor. Whether Prince Albert, with his re tainers, will make as showy and merry a display is yet to be learned ; and the folllowing is one of Icing Edward's grand masques, " given in the Parliament Chamber at Westminster," for " all the ambassadors which were here out of diverse realms and countries," and which we present in modernized English for the sake of our readers : MACKINTOSHES SUPERSEDED. TERDOE'S VENTILATING WATER PROOF FROCK.—This well-known and much-ap proved garment is the only substitute for the Mackintosh, which effectually excludes the rain, without confining perspi ration. It is made of a woollen material, is light, gentlemanly, and durable, and recommended, by those who have adopted it, as the most convenient and valuable protection from the weather ever invented. The best preof of this is the number made during the four years it has been in use through such recommendation. A great variety is kept ready made. Made only by WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, &c., 69, CORNHILL (Eight doors from Bishopsgate-strect). KING EDWARD'S MASQUE AT WESTMINSTER. In that Palace I saw appear, A royal Prince who drew me near ; Tall and straight, with tresses long, That sunnily over his shoulders hung; Pure his skin as the snow is white, Him to behold I held delight, His habit all angelic of hue, And coloured like the sapphire blue. Lyndesay's Poem of .‘ Monarchic," 1556. At night (says Hall), after the banquet was ended, a masque was presented to the ,guests, in the following order. There came in a drum and a fife, apparelled in white damask, having green bonnets and hose of the same suit ; then certain gentlemen fol lowed, with torches, apparelled in blue damask, pur led with ames grey, fashioned like an alb, or white ecclesiastical surplice, and on their heads hoods : with robes, and long tippets to the same, of blue damask, and in masques. And the KING'S DnEss (continues our chronicler), came in with x certain number of gentlemen, whereof the King appeared. the chief, ap parelled all in one suit of short garments, little be neath the points, of blue velvet arid crimson, with long sleeves, all cut and lined with cloth of gold. And the upper part of his garments were powdered with castles and shafts of arrows of fine ducat gold ; the upper parts also of his hose were of .like suit and fashion ; the nether parts were of scarlet powdered with timbrels of fine gold. lie had also on his head a bonnet of damask silver flat, woven in the stole, and thereupon wrought with gold and rich feathers in them. doctors of the refectory art have, we understand, been at hard employ for preparation and banquet for the last two months. The guests on this occasion may be curious to know - what were the delicacies and what the prices of the good things and acceptable which, on occasion of the royal masques in King Edward's time, were produced to satisfy the sweet lips of the ladies, or the more capacious appetites of stalwart lords and their stout retainers. A scarce MS. in the Cotton Library, presents the very identical bill of fare. The following are its contents, translated from the old French : " In the reign of King Edward the Third, the poulterers were ordered to sell to the royal household at these prices :—One of the best swans, 4s. ; the best porcelle for Bd. ; the best ewe for Gd ; the best capon for 6d. ; the best hen for 4d. ; the best pullet for 211. ; the best poucyn for 2d ; the best corsynge (perhaps coney) or a peel for 4d. ; the best teal 2d. ; th e b es t river mallard sd. ; the best mallard of the fyns, 3d.; the best snype ld. ; four allowes Id.; the best wood cock 3d. ; the best partridge sd. ; the best plover 3d.; thz., best pheasant ls. 4d. ; the best curbi 10d. ; 13 of the best thrushes 6d ;112 eggs ld.; 12 small birds, Id." Quails, rabbits, gallons of cream, gallons of curd, hundreds of dishes of butter and biscuits, with saffron, spice -bread, and a host of other dainties are elsewhere priced and enumerated. PHILIPPA AND HER LADIES, Up, public joy, be gay Some brave uncommon way; Ring out with bell and steeple„; With all the towns and people, In mirth and holy-day:— For see, our active King, Hath taken twice the ring; Our Queen in love and play, Doth grace this crowned day; And all the Court (loth measure, Her joy in state and pleasure. QUEEN PHILIPPA'S DRESS. After these (continues the Chronicler) entered six ladies, of whom the Queen Philippa, and the Lady Mary, sister to the King, were chief, avd were all dressed in different fashions. TILE TWO FIRST LADIES. Two were apparelled in crimson satin aid purple, embroidered with gold, and by vignettes (sprigs or branches), ran fleur-de-lys of gold, with marvellous rich and strange tiers upon their heads. TWO OTHER LADIES. Other two ladies appeared in crimson and purple made like long slops (a cassock for ladies and gen tlemen not open befOre) embroidered and fretted with gold after the antique fashion ' • and over the slop was a short garment of cloth of gold, scant to the knee, fashioned like a tabard all over, with smt:ll double rolls, all of flat gold, of damask fret and. fringed gold. On their heads were scarfs and wraplers of damask gold, with flat pipes—that (exclaims old Hall), " strange it was to beholde." TILE OTIIER Two.—The other two ladies were in kirtles of crimson and purple satin, embroidered with a vignette of pomegranates of gold ; all the gar ments cut compass-wise, having demi-sleeves, and naked down from the elbows. Over their garments were vochettes of pleasance (a species of gauze or lawn imported from Lombardy), rolled with c:imson velvet, and set with letters of gold, like characters ; their heads were rolled in pleasants and tippets, like the Egyptians, embroidered with gold; their faces, necks, arms, and hands, covered in fine pleasance black, some call it Lumberdines (lawn from Lom bardy), which is marvellously - thin. " After the King's Grace, and the Queen Philippa and her ladies, had daunsed a time, they departed every one to his lodging." KING EDWARD'S MASQUE AT GREEN WICH. Stay, my sweet singer, One touch of thy finger A little, and linger ; For these are the sorts That love the true sports Of Prince Ptolemreus Our bright Coryphams. In the third year of his reign, the same monerch appointed a grand masque at Greenwich, and in the Hall there was represented a castle called La For tresse Dant/ereux. It was acted after this manner :-- Six ladies looked out of the windows, clothed in richest russet satin, laid all over with leaves of gold, and every ownde (this ownde was work waving up and down) Was, knit with laces of blue silk and gold. Upon their heads they had coif's and caps all of gold. After this pageant. had been drawn about the Hall, that the Queen Philippa and all the nobility might survey . it, King Edward. entered, accompanied by five knights, apparelledin coats, the one half being of: russet satin, spangled , with spangles of fine gold., the other half of rich cloth of gold ; they had caps upon their heads, also of russet satin, embroidered with works of fine gold bullion. The Castle upon this was stormed, and after a vigorous resistance, carried by the reiterated efforts of these intrepid warriors, who, having obtained access to the ladies, brought them all with the Queen down into the Hall, where they danced together a considerable time, and then departed. See, here are ten The spirits of courts, and flower of men, Led by a Prince, with flam'd intents To figure the ten ornaments, That do the courtly palace grace. Ben Jonson's " Vision of Delight." OTHER DRESSES OF KING EDWARD'S MASQUES, OR LUDI. The following is a bill preserved, or an order for dresses, "ad faciendum Judos domini regis, ad festum natalis domini, celebratos apud Guldeford"—for fur nishing the masques or mummings of the King, held at the castle of Guildford, at the feast of Christmas. In these ludi, says the record, were expended 80 tunics of buckram of various colours, 42 visors of various simi litudes ; that is, 14 of the faces of women, 14 of the faces of men with beards, 14 of the heads of angels, made with silver ; 28 crests ; 14 mantles embroidered with heads of dragons ; 14 white tunics wrought with heads and wings of peacocks ; 14 of swans with wings ; 14 tunics painted with eyes of peacocks ; 14 tunics of English linen painted ; and as many tunics embroidered with stars of gold and silver.

MIRACULOUS CURE from the use of PARR'S LIFE PILLS. Copy of letter just received by the Proprietors, from Mr. William Moat, :1:3, Edward.strect, Oldham-road, Manchester : oentlemen,-1 have the utmost pleasure in forwarding you this my own case of cure, effected solely by the persevering use of your Parr's Life Pills. Before having recourse to them, I had been for upwards of five years afflicted with a most distressing malady, which the diffe ent eminent medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocele (or dropsy of the scrotum), and de clared there wits no other chance of either relief or cure than under. going a surgical operation. I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper, wherein he states that that the operation is gcnerelly attended with considerable danger. I therefore determined not to Fisk so painful and uncertain an exi e riment, but rather chose to leave the result to nature and l'rovi dence. Fortunately, I heard of the great fame of P rr's Pills, and resolved to give them a fair trial. I consequently took them for some time without perceiving any benefit, but still kept persevering ; and ~ I have now taken twelve boxes, aria to my great joy I am perfectly wed, the dropsy is entirely removed, together with a scorbutic affet, ties, which I had been much troubled with since my return from India in 11827; and now there is not a vestige of *lisease left in my whole system, as 1 am now in better health and spirits than I have been for fourteen years. 1 feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures, if people would persevere in the use of the pills a pro. per length of time , as 1 have done I give you my heartfelt thanks, and authority to publish this letter, and will gladly answer any ap pile itions, either personally, or by letter, and will remain your grate ful and obliged servant, (Signed) WM. MOAT. Witness—John Hough, Cheadle, carrier. Manchester .Feb. 7, 1842. CAUTION-13EWARF. OF IMITATIONS.

Tothill, Esq. , of Heavitree, near Exeter, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. Scarlet Fever. —Thomas Ward's two children (the father is a joiner, residing in Castle-street, Exeter), one aged ten, the other eight years, have both had the scarlet fever, during which time and after, no medicine was administered to them hut Mo rison's Pills, and they did well. Abdominal Dropsy.—James Aunger's child, aged six years, )the father is a tailor residing in Exeter), cured of abdominal dropsy. accompanied with cedematus swelling to a frightful de gree, which extended all over the child ; and the head and face were so much swollen that for many days it could not see the light. It came on after scarlet fever, during which the child took no medicine but Morison's Pills, and it got well. As soon as the dropsy came on the pills were persevered with night and morning, for the space of three weeks, at the exoiration of which time a perfect cure was effected. The neighbours seeing the weeks' and three months, cured of child in such a frightful state, said the parents were killing it, s three children, of Duns but they found out their mistake on the child's recovery. o x f e d E Rowels xet Standing. _George Lang's er, aged of S t i relaxed bowels of six weeks' standing.

Hip Complaint—Mr. Quick's son, aged nineteen years, of Summerland-street, Exeter, cured of a hip complaint, after having been under the treatment of Mr. Kingdon, surgeon, of Exeter, besides various other medical men of that city, who all did their best to cure him, but failed. A few months' perse verance with Morison's Pills perfectly set him to rights, and he has had no return of it since, two years having now elapsed. (Signed) RICHARD TOT HILL, M,R.C.S.L.

Heywood, Hobbs, the tanner, inquires " Who is he in the long beard, and the red petticoat ? I misdoubt Ned, that it is the King : I know it by Lord What-ye-call's players." The King replies, " How by them, tanner ?" Hobbs answers, " Ever when they play a masque or an enterloute at Tate worth, the King is alwaies in a long beard and a red gowne like him." The King returns answer, " No, tanner ; this is not the King ; this man is the Lord Mayor of London." Edward the Third is noted by the old chroniclers as being the first of our English Monarchs (Rymer's Fcedera, torn. v.) who encouraged the clothiers, and enacted new sumptuary laws. So early as the fifth year of his reign, John Kempe, a Flemish woollen manufacturer of great repute, came into this country with his workmen and apprentices, and the reception he met with from the 'King was so favourable, that in the same year, no fewer than seventy families of the Walloons followed his example, and were followed by crowds of others. The magnificent cloth of ray was brought to perfection in his time. THE BANQUET DAINTIES OF EDWARD THE TIIIRD.

A. JP CASE FROM LUTON, BEDFORDSEII RE, COMMUNI. CATED BY MR. PHILLIPS, CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST. TO SIR. PRODT, .229, STRAND, LONDON Luton, Bedfordshire, Oct 19, 1811. SIR,-1 feel desirous of expressing to you the great benefit which I have received from the use of 'ilair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I have for several years been afflicted with Rheumatism and Gout, the attacks of which were excessively ,evere. During one of these pain ful visitations - a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills, from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en tirely recovered. At a subsequent perio 4 I was so severely attacked that I thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself under me dical care. I did so; but not finding the relief which 1 expected, I again became my own physician. At this time my legs and thighs were swelled to a very great extent. I immediately procured a box of Blair's Pills fi om Mr. W. Phillips, your :gent in this town, and after taking two doses l was free from pa.in, and the swelling subsided I now never fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painful malady, and they invariably give me relief after one or two doses. Several of my acquaintances use them, and experien , e the same be nefit. I trust you will insert this among your list of cases, as lam anxious to bear witness so the efficacy of this excellent medicine. am, Sir, yours, respectfully, Sugar Loaf, London Road, Luton.

Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the original cost, the object being to clear the whole off the premises, and any portion remaining must of necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms.

THE HAGUE, MAY 2.—The Second Chamber of the States General, in its sitting of April 30, received a Royal Message, with a project of law for regulating the application of the surplus of the finances of the colonies for the year 1842. The project of law was accompanied by an explanatory memorial and other documents. " We, William, &c. PROJECT OF LAW. " Having taken in consideration that, according to the estimates which have been made, the receipts in the mother country for account of the colonial administration during the present year, will exceed the legal expenses of the colonies, to be defrayed out of the said receipts, by the sum of 4,900,000 florins, which sum will constitute the excess disposable in favour of the mother country, " Desiring to regulate the application of the excess, conformably to the last part of Article 59 of the Funda mental Law.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Harris, 19, was indicted for a burglary and stealing four silver spoons, six gold rings, five brooches, and 51. in gold and silver money, the property of Jemima Jane Nicholls. Mr. Lilley conducted the prosecution, and Mr Charnock ap peared for the prisoner. It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor resides in Den mark-road, Camberwell, and on the 25th of April she went out, leaving her house securely fastened. The prisoner, who had been observed watching , about the premises, was shortly after wards seen to climb over the garden-gate, and go up to the sfreet door, and open it with a key and go in. The neighbours suspected that something was wrong, and an alarm was raised, and the prisoner ran off, but he was pursued and taken, and great part of the stolen property was found in his possession. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence, ten years' transportation. The RECORDER took his seat upon the bench at five o'clock, and in the course of the evening the Grand Jury came into Court with a number of bills, and among others they returned a true bill against Daniel Good, for the murder of Jane Jones, otherwise Good. And against Mary Good, as an accessary after the fact. Both the indictments are very voluminous, and con tain no less than thirty-two counts. A true bill was also re turned against Daniel Good for felony, and against Mary Good for. felony .. A bill was likewise returned against Richard Gamble for felony, and against Thomas Cooper, for the murder of the policeman Daley. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKEN WELL. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—In the afternoon of yesterday Inspector Pritchard of the N division, assisted by two police men, brought before the Magistrates a very genteelly attired young man, with a very melandoly expression of countenance charged on suspicion of being concerned in the robberies which have lately taken place on the Hornsey-road. The Inspector proceeded to say, that he received the follow. ing letter through the Post-office, which the prisoner acknow ledged to have been sent by him. It was addressed "To the Inspector on duty in the Clerkenwell Police-station," was dated May, 1842, and ran thus:— " Silt,—Most likely my remains will be found near Hornsey Wood. I have experienced so many difficulties and trials, that I have no wish to live another day. I am the eldest of a numerous and respectable family—the sooner I leave the world the better. The gay will live on and continue to be gay, but that is quite immaterial to me. I have been living on hope so long that life is quite a burthen to me. My body may be given to the hospital to defray . all the expense attending me. My corpse will be found near Hornsey-wood. " GEORGE HOPSON." At half-past eight this morning, N 256, on passing through Hornsey-wood, according to instruction, found the prisoner sitting on the decayed trunk of a tree, with his head resting on his knees. When the policeman first saw him, he thought he was dying, and asked him had he taken poison ; he replied in the negative, and was taken to the station-house. A man who had been recently robbed of a watch on the Hornsey-road came forward, but said the prisoner was not the person who robbed him. The Inspector stated there were two other persons who had been robbed on the same road, and whose attendance he would obtain. Mr. COOMBE asked the prisoner several questions, but could get no satisfactory answer. He said he had been three months in London ; that he was the eldest of 14 children; that he had been married, but his wife was now dead ; that his father lived near Suffolk ; that he lodged lately in Prince's-street, Padding ton. He would not, however, give the number of his resi • dente; and when questioned and threatened to be sent to pi son, said his name was Elmore, and that his family lived near Norwich. He would not, however, tell his business in Lon eon, how he employed his time, or why he came here. He was remanded until to-morrow. On the 6th instant, as two men were sinking . a well in a garden at Conflans-lea-Carrieres, the earth fell in and buried them. Some soldiers from Chuenton were soon on the spot, and, working with zealous humanity, in about four hour hours the earth was cleared away. One of the men was quit dead, but the other was restored to life. ee .el LITERARY FUND DINNER. This excellent Society celebrated yesterday at the Free masons' Hall its 53a anniversary. Great eclat was given tn. the proceedings of the evening by the circumstance of his. Royal Highness Prince Albert having honoured the Society by condescending to preside over its festivities. The Literary und Society was established in 179 a, and .in 1793 the first 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, preceded by a number of the stewards, entered the room. Immediately 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 filled with a number of elegantly-dressed ladies, who appeared to take an, unusual interest in the proceedings. About 360 sat don n 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 dis tinguished visitors present, we noticed the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Lord Ashler, Lord Mahon. the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Monteacle, Lord Jocelyn. the Prussian Am bassador, the Russian Ambassador, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, Mr. T. Moore, Mr. T. Camubell, Ms. G. Knight, Mr. H. Hallam, Mr. Barham, Sir H. 'Ellis, Mr. 11 ashingt stn Irving, and Vice-Chancellor K. Bruce. Upon the cloth being removed, His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT rose and said—Gentle men,—l propose " The Health of the Queen," who, I ern able to tell you highly appreciates this excellent institution. I hese her permission to say, that she is its sincere well-is isher, anti feels much interest in its prosperity.—( Loud cheering.) The Duke of CLEVELAND then proposed " The Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager,and the rest of the Royal Family." l'he Noble Duke said, that he had been called upon unex pectedly to propose the second toast in the list. He had never yet been esesent at any public meeting where the health of the Prince of Wales was proposed. He considered it a fortu ne e coincidence that the first. time he should be called upon to propose such a toast should be in the presence of the Prince of Wales's illustrious parent. Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT Bnece gave " The Army and Navy."—(Loud cheers.) Lord Coreereea returned thanks for the Army, and Colonel Gunwoon briefly acknowledged the compliment I aid to the Navy. 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 LBF.IIT then rose, and spoke as follows:—The toast which I have now to propose is, " Prosperity to this Institu tion," an Institution which stands unrivalled in any country, and which ought to Command our warmest sympathies, in pro 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 have de rived from the disinterested exertions of those great and good men, and cheerfully to contribute to their wants and aid their necessities.—(Cheers.) I conclude with a warm wish that the object for the promotion of which we hare assembled this day may be responded to in the most ample and eeneroua manner. I propose " Success to the Literary Fund."—.(The toast was drunk amidst great cheering.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE responded to the toast. He 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 hands of the illustrious Prince who presided over the meeting. It would ill become him, in the presence of his Royal High ness, to enumerate the many virtues and good qualities which adorned his character.—(Loud cheers.) Ile was not surprised to see the Prince among them that evening, when he recollected that he was connected with an illustrious family residing in a country which had always been the asylum of men of genius and letters.—(Cheers.) In occupying the Chair that day his Royal Highness was only discharging a debt of gratitude clue to the Society. The father of her Ma jesty had honoured the Society once with his presence; and on the last eccasioa previous to his lamented death that he had consented to take the Chair, he was only prevented from doing so by the birth of her present Majesty.—(Cheers.) The ob ject of the Literary Fund Society ties to relieve the distresses and misfortunes of literary men. Surely such a Society re quired no recommendation. It spoke its own wants and its own peculiar claims upon the sympathies of the kind and the benevolent. He thought there could not be a more noble ob ject than to MC 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 co rrse—(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, and was received with long-continues - I applause. He said, " Gentlemen, —I must return you my• 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 be 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 cauntry."—( Loud cheers.) The SECRETARY then read the Report. an abstract of which we have given. He also read a list of the subscripeions just received. The Queen, 100 guineas—(Cheers)—Prince Al bert, 1001.—( Great. cheering)—the King . of Prussia, 1001.— (Cheers)—the Duke of Somerset, 10 guineas annually; the Marquis or Lansdocsn., .501. ; Lord F. Egerton, 101. ; Arch bishop of Dublin, a; er tentage on the profits of all his works ; Lord Bexley, 1(11. ; Vice- Chancellor Bruce, 10 guineas.; Lord Chief Justice Tindal, 10 guineas. Prince ALBERT 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 ; his 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 cseem hm. Gentlemen, I beg leave to propose " The health of the Marquis of Lansdowne."—Great cheering.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks, and proposed • " The health of His Majesty the King of Prussia."—( Cheers. ) The PRUSSIAN AMBASSADOR said, in returning thanks for the cordial maener in which the health of his Royal muter, his Majesty tire 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 or the Literary Fund Society.—( Great cheering.) Mr. I'. CAMPBELL rose, and was received with load 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.) He thought that the great condescension exhibited by the Illustrious Prince could not fail to produce a feeling of strict amity between the sceptic 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.—(Cherry.) There was a natural sympathy between wisdom and liberality ; " Verily," the prophet Isaiah says, " the liberal deviseth liberal things, and by liberal things shall he stand."--e Cheers.) The Constitution, with all its great blessings, was based upon public opinion, without any re ference to party. It was with much pleasure he proposed " Henry flallam and the Historians."—( Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst great epplanse. Mr. 11. II LI.AM, in returning !batiks, said that he had al ways taken a greet inter, st in the Institution. Lord Menos proposed " Mr. T. Moore and the Poets."— (Loud cheering.) ills Lordship said, that the poet whose health he had t h honour to propose was one who had shed an undying lustre upon the English language and people.— ( Cheers.) He e (mid ask, who had not been delighted with his writings? He felt assured that they were ready to pay homage to his surpassing genius.—(Cheers.) He would say of the illustrious pee:— " 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 toa-t was drunk amidst great acclamation. Mr. 'l'. MoosE briefly returned thanks. Mr. Moore's beautiful Irish melody— " And sloth not a meeting like this make amends For all the long years I've been wandering away ?" was sung by Mr. Broadhurst with great pathos and effect. Lord7:7OLBORNE proposed u Mr. James and the Novelists (Drunk with applause. ) Mr. JAMES returned thanks Mr. 11l elan-mote proposed" The Marquis of Northampton, and the Scientific Literature of this Country." Tr.e Marquis of NORTHAMPTON responded to the toast. Mr. G. KNIGHT proposed" Mr. Serjeant Talfourd, and the Dramatists."—(Drunk with great cheering.) Mr. Serjeant TA LFOURD, in an eloquent speech, acknow ledged the compliment. 0 ing to the late hour at which the Serjeant addressed the meeting, it will be impossible for us to attempt even to give an abstract of what he said. Sir li. INGLIS prof os " Washington Irving and the Lite rature of the United Sta'es."—(Great _cheering. )—(Drunk with great enthusiasm. ) p Mr. WASIIINGTON IRVINE briefly acknowledged the com liment. Lord ASHLEY proposed "the Vice-President of the So siety." Sir R. Norms returned thankA. _ . Prince ALBERT rose and said,—l suppose, Gentlemen, you would not like to part without proposing the health of the ladies. —( Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, " The Ladies." Song—" Here's a health to all good lasses." His Royal Highness left the chair a little before 12, the :uni tary band performing the National Anthem. THE BRIGIITON ELECTION.—The result of the Brighton election having long been foreseen by the more di, - crimmating of the Liberal party in the Borough, it has not been productive of disappointment to them, though it nem sarily gives rise to much vexation and chagrin. The occasion which has - just passed away, might under more.favourable au spices, have been made to confirm what has already been sl repeatedly and so conspicuously established,—that the political feeling of the Borough is most decidedly Anti-Tory and Liberal ; but the great reform party of the country failed to provide a candidate equal to the occasion,—and instead of being, as it. might have been, a contest of principle, it dwindled away at the eleventh hour into a hopeless and most indiscreet atti nipt on the part of a gentleman, known only to the electors by an un enviable political notoriety, and guided by a most presumptuou , , ignorant, and insignificant clique, to supplant the son of a re spected and charitable nobleman who has for many years re sided in the Borough. The bringing forward such a candidate as Mr. Ha:ford, alter Lord Alfred and his friends had fully and deliberately canvassed the Borough, was repudiated by . the mese influential Reformers of the Borough as highly injurious to the Liberal interest ; and convinced that, under suth adverse cir cumstances, success was hopless, they very properly, in our opinion, abstained from mixing up with a candidate, who, by abandoning his seat in Parliament, had virtually pleaded guilty to the charge of having obtained a temporary triumph in a neighbouring Borough by very corrupt means. This was a feeling in which we participated, and will explain the silence we have studiously observed throughout the vain struggle.— Brighton Guardian. STATE OF BURNLEY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. is becoming d ai ly more hand-loom weavers very ieade -We regret to learn that the condition of the labo ur i ng popu quately employed and the neighbourhood deplorable. t h o e f factories hare ceased working, and nearly the whole labouring population is in a state approaching destitution. In some of the country townships, too, w here almost all the inhabitants are poor, it is difficult, and indeed impossible, to collect a sufficient amount of poOr rate to afford relief to the claimants upon the paroobial funds ; and it is greatly to be feared that, unless some assistance can be obtained from other quarters, the poor will be left *about resource. We understand that strong re presentations on this subject have been made to Government by a gentleman resident in the neighbourhood ; and it is not improbable that thotse representations may have had consider able effect in causing the issue of the Queen's letter for making collections throughout the country. Hitherto the people have shown exemplary patience under their manifold privations. Though large meetings 'have been held in different parts of the districts, we do not learn that they have been marked by any violence, even of language. But it is do be feared that this patience will not be proof against a continuance—and espeei aßY against an aggravation—of the present state of distress.- - I.whesiter .Paper., • ~~
