Coldrenick was decidedly on the decline ; 7 to 2 was currently laid ; 4 to 1 would have been taken by his party, (we much doubt to any amount,) but unless a good deal of money is brought into the market to sup port him, he cannot remain in the front rank. He has been backed for a considerable sum of money, at very small prices. His friends must be satisfied to hedge their bets to a loss ; it is clear Day's trial horses have deceived him. We think there is no doubt he has been himself deceived. Attila is indisputably Premier ; 5 to 4 was laid be tweeen him and Coldrenick ; 3 to 1 was eagerly taken, and we confidently predict he will see 7 to 4 before the start. Auckland is still in considerable demand with a certain class of supporters, but his friends, who have taken the long odds, 50's to 1, during the winter, are nowhere to be found. The money being distributed in tenners all over the country, and not sent up to be .hedged, causes the small ness of the odds. The professionals being full against him, we expect to see him go back to morrow. 700 to 100 is still offered against him. Canadian was backed at 7 to 1 to some amount. Bto 1 would have tempted his friends to in vest some hundreds. Many good judges fancy Canadian. Bar Attila, we would put , our pony on him, in prefer ence to any, horse in the race. 20 to 1 was taken eagerly about Agreeable, and in such quarters that he must be a better favorite. 20 to 1 was betted fre quently on Jack. The yard was crowded, but very little done; a few outsiders were backed at very long prices. OAKS. Adela filly was at 4 to I .(t) ; Dil-bar, 6 to 1 offered. Nothing else in demand. Tiptoe (lame) and Balankeele we believe are scratched. EXCULPATION OF GENERAL ELPHINSTONE. "We have been wrong in imputing blame to Gene ral Elphinstone, whose bodily sufferings incapacitated him for his duties; but we have not been wrong in impugning the conduct of the beleagured forces. It seemed to us most extraordinary that a disciplined army of 6,000 men remained on the defensive, instead of striking a blow at the irregular troops opposed to it; and we now know that Sir W. WlsTaghten strongly condemned the defensive course, and was ur gent for attack. Secondly, we could not understand the desperate measure of a retreat in the depth of win • ter, and in want of everything, not excepting courage, amidst swarms of enemies intoxicated with the worst sign of their triumph, while there was the resource of occupying the Bala Hissar, .and holding out in it till spring should enable succours to arrive. It is now confidently and, we have reason to believe, truly re ported that this was the ads ice of Major Pettinger, and that he was overruled by another officer, backed by a council of war. Had the army occupied the lialaillissar it would have been safe during the winter, and would by this time, in all human probability, have been relieved, and would have recovered the possession of the town. But, unhappily, the desperate expedient of a con vention not to be trusted to, and a retreat in a com plication of difficulties and through a hostile country, was preferred ; but this was not the worst ; the bad thing was not done in the best way, it was clone in the worst way. The only chance of getting off the troops in a retreat was, not to impede and clog them with baggage, but to leave them unemcumbered to fight their way. The same evil genius, however, that de termined against the occupation of the Bala HisSar, against the advice of the Envoy, insisted on saving the baggage, and to this is attributed the completeness of the rout, and the utter destruction of the whole force. The conduct of the troops appears to have been ex tremely bad, ,but nothing was done to call out the spirit that might have been depressed in them, and they were virtually without a leader. The 44th is said to have behaved ill ; it is an unfortunate regi ment, for the defeat before New Orleans was refera ble to its not having brought up the scaling ladders ; the fault, however, in that instance, was not with the men, but the colonel. It seems that our authorities in Affghanistan do not think Mahomed Akbar the traitor which we have sup posed him to be here. His conduct to the prisoners is spoken of with gratitude, and the opinion appears to be that he had not the power to prevent the attack on the retreating army. It may be politic, however, in the circumstances to suppose the best of him ; but the favourable opinion, whatever may be the sincerity of it, is current. —Examiner. M.

Cohen, Avocet of the Cour Royal, at Aix, took their departure on the Isth inst., from Marseilles, in the Government steamer Charlemagne, for Algeria. -Their voyage is made with the philanthropic object, supported by the Government, of establishing institutions for the promotion of morals amongst the Jews in the African Colonies, sod also for lapwing their politiegl positiPP , . CONDEMNED SERMON, AT NEWGATE. i SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY ANNI VERSARY DINNER. Yesterday was the chapel of Newgate again crowded in an unwonted manner, by those who, from an acquaintance with the Lord Mayor, or other of the City dignataries, could gain an admission, to hear from the Rev. Mr. Carver, the Ordinary to 'the prison, a sermon addressed to that wretched man, who, paying the penalty of his cruelties and crimes, this day perished upon the scaffold, as a punishment for his sins, and as a warning to others, who, like him, may be induced to the committal of awful crimes, that, whatever may be their lot hereafter, in this world, at any rate, they shall not go unpunished. The chapel was quite full, and there were a good many ladies present. The prisoners entered the place allotted to them shortly before half-past ten, and at that hour Daniel Good was brought in by Mr. Cope and two turnkeys, and placed in the centre of the chapel. He appeared very uneasy, and several times clasped his hands, as if engaged in inward devotion. His dress consisted of a long olive-coloured frock coat, with pockets outside, such as are worn by coachmen, drab trousers, and a clean white neckcloth, neatly tied round his neck. His face was somewhat paler and attenuated than when we saw him at the Old Bailey, and he appeared thinner ; otherwise he looked well, and much better than on that occasion. The expres sion of cunning and indifference, which we then no ticed, seemed to have given way to a much more mild and gentle appearance. He had the appearance of a penitent man, and of one fully aware of the enormity of his offences. On entering the chapel he was weep ing, and several times, in the course of the service, tears were observed to come rapidly down his cheeks. The psalms and lessons were very appropriate ; the former were the 1,9, 14, 16, and 17 verses of the 51st, and the first four verses of the 6th Psalm. The lessons were taken from the 12th chapter of 2 Sa muel, and the Ist chapter of James. At the conclu sion of the last psalm, the culprit appeared very weak, and nigh fainting; he dropped into the chair, and some water was procured, when he soon re covered, and preserved his composure during the rest of the service. The fourth Anniversary Festival Dinner of the above excellent Institution, was held. on Saturday last, at the London Tavern, I 3 ishopsgate-street. Admiral- the Hon. Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, G.C.M.G., Governor of Greenwich Hospital, in the Chair. Amongst those present, we observed the Lord Bishop of Norwich, Admiral Sir William Gage, Ad miral Sir Henry Digby, Admiral Sir G. Cockburn, G.C.B. M.P. (the President of the Society), Admiral the Hon. Paul Irby, Admiral Young, Sir Charles Lemon, Bart. M.P., Admiral Sykes, Titus Berry, Esq., Hon. Capt. Pelham, RN., Admiral Skipsey, Rev. Dr. Croly, Rev. Thomas Burnet, D.D., Capt. Sir George A. Westphal, R.N. (Chairman of the Committee of Management), • Major Olivhant, Thos. Saunders, Esq., R. H. Middlemass, Esq., Edward West, Esq., &c. &c. • The band of his Royal Highness • Prince Albert's own regiment 'of Scots Fusilier Guards was in at tendance • and, during the time of dinner, performed serral favourite. overtures, marc h es , &c., with ex quigite taste and precision. The dinner was ex cellent, and was served up in the usual admirable style of this establishment. The wines, too, were exceedingly fine. About 300 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The gallery at the end of the room was appro priated exclusively to the ladies. It was crowded from the commencement; and, judging from certain sounds, bearing a marvellous resemblance to the drawing of champagne corks, we opine that the Committee of Management had not neglected to make arrangements to enable its fair occupants to partici pate in the festivities of the evening. The cloth having been removed, the " Benedictus " was sung by the Misses Williams (who kindly gave their sere ices on the occasion), and Messrs. Hobbs, Chapman, and Hawkins, accompanied on the piano forte by Mr. T. Cooke, under whose direction the musical arrangements were made. •- Toole, the Prince of Toastmasters, having proclaiined silence, The CHAIRMAN said, he was about to propose a toast which could not fail to call forth their feelings of loyalty, duty, and affection Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, the Patreness of the Society."— —,, (Cheers.) Drank with all the hObours. Air—" God save the Queen," by the Misses Wil liams and chorus. The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to an nounce was, " Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, Vice-Patroness of the Society.'-4(Loud cheers.) The munificent liberality of the Queen Dowager was well known. He should never forget the conduct of her .Majesty at Malta.—(Cheers) Ever since that island had been in our possession, it had wanted a Protestant Church. Her Majesty had, at her own ex pense, built . one there at a cost exceeding 7,0001. and when the inhabitants of the island had tendered to her their thanks for this munificent present, her Majesty replied, - " It is not tome, but to the people of England that your thanks are 41*, since it is the people of England who have . enabled - me to - do this for you,, by placing a large sum of money at my disposal.— (Tremendous cheers.) The toast was then drank with three times three, and allfthe-honours. The text was taken from the Ist chapter of the General Epistle of St. James, and the 15th verse— " When lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death." The Reverend Gentleman divided his address into three pasts : Ist., the origin of sin ; 2d., its rise and pro gress ; and 3d., the awful results of sin.' The origin of sin he traced to our first parents, when unmindful of the prohibition of their Maker, they tasted of the forbidden fruit, whereby they became sinners, and sin was for ever entailed. upon their posterity. There was therefore a secret inclination for that which was evil in the hearts of all men, and though it might be hid for a time, it only waited for an opportunity to draw them into sin, the wages of which is death ; this the Apostle called lust, desire, or concupiscence ; it influenced all, and though it might not appear now, yet might it, as : in the melancholy example before him, put forth, first the root, then the blade, and then the ear—this, when completed, would bring forth death ; and nothing but the mercy of Jesus Christ could prevent his final destruction. The end of sin was death, temporal, spiritual, and unless prevented by the mercy of God, eternal. There was one before him whose days and hours were numbered, who had shcrtly to appear before .that God, who saw not as men saw, to whom all things were open, who searcheth . the heart and trieth the reins ; it appeared that his fallen brother had been for many years the slave of sensuality, and as usual, the victim of intemperance; destitute of the fear of God, ignorant of the deceit of his own heart, he had readily yielded himself to the domineering influ ence of his besetting sin, soon sated with each one who attracted his criminal observation, in a moment of irritation, and yet with a previous cool, artful, and deliberate purpose, he sacrificed the life of one con fiding unsuspecting partner of his guilt, in order that he might revel in the short-lived enjoyment of a cri minal intercourse with another victim of lust. Such had:been the melancholy course of the individual be fore him : lust had conceived, had brought forth, and it • was now about to bring him to an ignominious death. It was his duty, however, to recommend to his poor fellow sinner, to look for mercy only to his Divine Redeemer, and to remind him, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, " Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow, though red like crimson, they shall be white as wool." • The Reverend Divine then endeavoured to impress upon the unfortunate criminal the necessity for a full confession of his sin, without which there could be no true repentance for a private offence, a private confession to his God was a sufficient acknowledgment of his guilt, but a public offence demanded a public and an open con fession. It was dismal to hear an earthly judge pro nounce that sentence which was about to separate him from his kindred, his friends, and all he held dear in this world ; but how much more terrible would it be to hear the Almighty Judge pronounce the sinners' awful doom—" Depart from me ye : cursed !" In a few short hours he was about to depart into eternity, and unless he had a new heart and a new spirit, and was brought to genuine repentance, he would be ex posed to the awful sentence which resulted from God's wrath, and which would endure through all ages of eternity. Alight the God-of all power make him aware of his miserable state, by nature and prac tice which had brought him to the brink of the un fathomable abyss ; there was yet hope for him—the gates of mercy never yet were closed on a contrite and a broken spirit. As a last admonition, he would remind him that "he. that hideth his sins shall not prosper, but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall find mercy, and God will abundantly pardon him." The Rev. Divine then addressed'a few words . . to the other prisoners, entreating them to take warn ing by this sad. example of the bitter fruits and fatal consequences of indulging in the lusts of the flesh. To the strangers present, also, he addressed a salutary ad monition, bidding them not to look as the Pharisee looked upon the publican, thanking his God that he was not as other men, unjust, extortionate, adulterers; for to such a 'one he would say that he knew nothing of the deceit and wickedness of his own heart. Glee—" Sleep Gentle Lady." The next toast was, " 'Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales."—Dranic with all the honours. Air----" Prince Albert's March," by the band. Solos and chorus—" Welcome, welcome, lovely Treasure." This was followed by the toast of, " The Princess Royal and the rest of the Royal Family," which was drank with all the honours. Duet by. the Misses Williams—" I know a Bank." The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The Army and Navy." Drank with three times three. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, in rising to return thafiks on the part of the Navy, said it was particularly gra tifying to him to have to do so on the present occa sion, because he saw in the Chair one of the most dis tinguished Officers in that navy.—(Cheers.) Their Chairman had come from the glorious victory of Acre —(Cheers)--to do his duty there as a citizen, by ap pealing to their beneficence on behalf of the widows and the orphans of the shipwrecked fishermen of this country. It was by such conduct as this that the navy had gained to itself the affection and regard of all classes of the country ; and it was by such con duct that they would continue to merit the good opi nion of their countrymen.—(Cheers.) The kindness of their countrymen would not be lost upon them, and the navy would never suffer the rights of England to be infringed, or• her honour .tarnished. The navy would always be found ready to assist in every act of charity, for it was as much their duty to do so as it was to fight the battles of their native land.—(Cheers.) He was delighted to see so many present on the fourth anniversary of the charity, and begged cordially to thank them for the toast they had just drank. Major OLIPHANT, in returning thanks, trusted there would always exist an honest rivalry between that branch of the service and• the•navy as to which should best do their duty to their country.—(Cheers.) He was happy in being there to bear his humble testi mony to the merits of one branch of the service in India—he meant the native troops of that country. — (Loud cheers.) It was his firm conviction, notwith standing the check they had received in that country, which he attributed in a great •ineashre to the intem perance of the climate in which troops the natives of a tropical region had been called on to act, that we should speedily retrieve our disasters, and he felt as sured that if the native troops should be required togo there again, they would stand by as truly as the Bri tish soldier.—(Loud cheers.) . These were no:; mere idle words. He knew the native troops well, having served with them for 22 years, and he spoke from long experience of their valour and fidelity.—(Hear.) Air—" Rule Britannia." The CUAIRMAN said the next toast he had to pro pose was, " The Right Rev. the LOrd Bishop of Nor wich, and the other prelates and clergy who have lent their valuable assistance to this 'Society.' _(Drank with three times three ana one' cheer ^ more.) The Bishop of 'colt wica felt the, highest gratifica tion at the manner in which the last toast had been received. He was proud to find his name thus asso ciated with that of the clergy of 'England.—(Cheers.) For the first time in his life he felt that he stood in a proud situation, for he was supported by six British Admirals.—(Loud cheers.) Long might they live to tread the deck, for as long as. British Admiral could tread the deck of his ship so long Was the glory and honour of Britain safe.—(Loud eheeri.) 'They had met together there that day to do their duty by prac tising those precepts of charity which it was his duty to preach.—(Cheers.) A deep feeling of religion was one of the characteristics of the'Britsh seaman. The British seaman was deeply imbued with Gospel prin ciples, and thus by his valour and his religion, he cast a two-fold lustre on the British flag.—(Loud cheers ) Solo and chorus—" Sound the loud timbrel." The Rev. Gentleman commenced his very excellent discourse at a quarter, to twelve, and concluded at half-past. Good, who had appeared very devout during the whole of the service, and who, during the reading of the prayers, always went down upon his knees at the proper times, was then removed, in custody of the turnkeys, and clasping his hands together, in an im passioned manner, he exclaimed, as he was leaving the chapel, " Oh, may the Lord be with you all !"

We rejoice to find that this distinguished Club is gradually increasing in members and funds. Lord John and Lady Russell have been making a stay with us ; they left for town this day. Lord and Lady Tyrconnel are at Townshend's House, on the South Parade. The CHAIRMAN said the next toast he had to pro• pose was "The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, and the health of the President Sir Geo. Cockburn."—(Loud cheers.) In proposing this toast, he would allude to the latter part of its first. Sir George Cockburn was an officer whom they all , knew—(Cheers)—and who was equally conspicuous for his talents in the Cabinet and on the deck. All his influence had been given to aid the cause of this society, the foundation of which had furnished the only thing wanting to make the climax of Naval Charitable -Institutions.—(Cheers.) These was first the establishment over which he had the honour to preside, Greenwich Hospital—(Cheers)—where 2,700 old veterans were provided for by their grateful coun try. Then there was the Naval School, where 890.haYs received good nautical instruction, were taught a variety of useful trades, and hid the closest attention paid to their religious and moral instruction. — (Cheers,) Next came the Marine Society, and then 'that valuable charity, the Sailors' Home. None of these societies, however, afforded relief to sufferers from the dreadful calamity of shipwreck. That was left for this Society to accomplish ; a Society which, as it was established to give relief to the widow and the orphan, had peculiar claims on the ladies for support. Sir G. COCKBURN had felt proud at being called on to return thanks for the navy. He did not feel less proud at being called on to return thanks for this toast, for not only had they drank his health, but they had coupled it with a wish for the prosperity and suc cess of the excellent Society, of which it was his good fortune to be president. Their gallantCh a inn an had truly observed, that this Society formed the climax of the naval charities of the country, and he could not but express his astonishment that some such society had not long since been established - 7 -- (Cheers.) It had been his good fortune to have the notion of the society submitted to him some few years sinc e , an d h e b ad immediately taken up the q uestion, wh ich he had ever since zealously advocat ed to the u tmost of his , ability—(Loud cheers.) :Notwithstandin g th e s h ort time it had been established th e Societ y had supporters in every part of the kingdom, and it wa s d eserv i ng of the support of the whole country, for it had for its object to relieve distress in every part of the country --(Loud cheers.) The whole eu n ntr y felt the bene fit of the existence of a society of this descripti on -- (Cheers.) Let them recollec t what hardships and I dangers the fishermen underwe nt to procure luxuries for 'the country—(Cheers.) li e br aved the fury of the tempest and the rage of the ocean —the constant habit of encountering these perils strengthen e d his. courage, and in time of war the fisherman was always found to make the bravest of seamen —(Loud cheers). Until the other day he had been left to his distress and if he were overwhelmed in the ocean, his widow and orphan s were left to the . arish. Stich, however, was not the case n o w ,• Thi s Society, like an angel of trty, st:o in and gave such relief to the I Tow and tic coula be &ten to them-t triq 9 0 ,4140 r.ef i krelo them the bubgid atld Thaather, .h 4 4w41 i t - 4 4 10 91 W 9 0 . 1 4 WO* 0 1 410 00 0.4#0 . _ . .

Mr. MIDDLEMASS returned thanks. It preserved to them their :native cottage and: their own fireside—(Cheers)—and the widow and the or phans, for whom these things had been done, called down for blessings upon their heads.—(Cheers.) Did they I not feel_happy—did they not feel proud in support ' ing an Institution of that liind.---:-(Loud cheers) .He called upon all, as far as was in their power, to con tribute to the support of the Society.—(Cheers.) -He asked them, in the name of the Society, to speak to their friends on the subject, and to spread abroad by every means in their power the - value of the Society— (Continued cheering)—so as to procure a large meet every vear.—(Cheers.) Nothing could be more ho , nouraloie to the nation than the manner in which the Society had been supported—(Cheers)—and he felt as sured the claims of that Society for support were equal to that of any other society in the Metropolis.— (Continued cheering.) Let them look around the coasts of England, upwards of one thousand persons were cast ashore annually.—(Hear.) It was note to seamen alone that this : Society was confined, but it gave relief to every poor individual cast on our shores.—(Loud cheers.) Formerly, if an unfortu nate being were cast On our shores he was - a beggar until he could get to his friends. After having struggleditiard to save his ship, he had to commence a desperate struggle with the waves to save hiS life, and. was at last cast upon the shore all buta corpse. There, formerly, he lay without help, exposed to the fury of the elements—there was no .one to assist him ; but now the agent of the Society stepped ,forward at once, and said, " take care of this man, I will pay for his being conveyed to a place of safety." . The sufferer was taken care of, recovered, and sent to his friends. --(Cheers.) That was the object of this Society. The Society had only been - in existence three years ; in those three years it had spread all over the empire, and in future not an individual could be cast on any part of our shores where he would not find an agentof the Society to take care of him. He was pleased to hear the Right Reverend Prelate say he was proud to 'see himself supported by six Admirals, and would observe, in reply, that the Navy, ought to be proud to have such an advocate.—(Loud cheers.) He thought the navy was most anxious to have the support of the Established Church. There were no men more truly religious than the navy. They were under the deepest obligation to the Bishop d Nor wich for the kind manner in which he had stood for ward that day to advocate their cause ; and he was sure if some of his Right Rev. Brethren would follow his example they could not do better.—(Loud cheers.) ' He trusted that the example he had set in attending this meeting that day would be followed by his Right Rev. Brethren—(Cheers)---:-and he doubted not to see the amount of the subscriptions doubled.—(Loud cheers.) Song—" The Fisherman's Widow"—Mr. Hawkins. The - SECRETARY then read the first report of sub scriptions to the Society, which amounted to 526/.165. Among the subscribers were—Sir Robert Stopford, 51. ss. ; the Duke of Roxburgh, Si. 55.; the East India. Company, 501. ; Mr. Sydney Herbert, 251.; Sir G. Cockburn, 51. ss. ; the Bishop of Norwich, 3/. 3s. ; Lord Eliot, 10/. ; the Earl ofLonsdale, Si. ; the Bishop of Chichester, Si.; Mr. B. Botfield, M.P., Si.; Mr. Hardy, M.P., Si.; Sir J. Kempt, 31. 3s, : Mr. Horace Twiss, 1/. ; and seventeen fishermen of Barking an annual subscription of 21. 7s. The Bishop of NORWICH said it was his privilege to rise again, to propose a toast which would be re ceived with enthusiasm by every Englishman—" The health of their Chairman, Sir Robert Stopford."— (Loud cheers.) In speaking on that subject he scarcely knew where to begin—(Loud cheers)—and once begun, he scarcely knew where to stop.—(Con tinned cheering.) Living, as he did, in a district surrounded by sandbanks, which were more fatal than rocks, he had been a witness of the skill and valour of naval officers in the performance of their arduous duty. He need not remind them of the loss of the Invincible, which foundered off Winterton, with her gallant Captain alone on her deck—the gallant Rennie.—(Loud cheers.) He saw all others out of the ship. He did not seek to escape him self, but wrote a note in pencil, and sent it. on shore, bequeathing his widowed mother to the care of his country. He sunk alone in his glory.— (Loud cheers.) He (the Bishop) had said that lie was proud of the position he occupied ; and ought not a bishop to be proud, when he numbered so many admirals in his flock ?—(Loud cheers.) It was only last January that a brig was ashore on the coast of Norfolk. Lieutenant Parker launched his boat, and proceeded to her assistance. His anchor came home, but he cared not for that. He braved every danger, in the cause of humanity. He ran under her bows, and he had the satisfaction of rescuing seven, out of eight of his fellow-creatures, from their perilous si tuation.—(Loud cheers.) It was impossible to speak on such a subject, without alluding to the shining example they had before them, in the Gallant Admi ral in the chair, of what British perseverance and courage could do.—(Loud cheers.) Their Gallant Chairman came before them fresh from the wars of Syria, covered with laurels.—(Loud cheers.) On such a theme, words were unnecessary. If he said one word—if he said Sir Robert Stopford—that would be sufficient to inspire them with the spirit be, fitting the occasion. —(Loud cheers.) The toast was then drank with three times three, and one cheer more. Sir R. STOPFORD in returning thanks said that the success of the late naval operations on the coast of Syria, was a proof of the superiority of our system of naval steam navigation, for which we were principally indebted to the exertions of .his late Majesty King William IV.—(Loud cheers.) Song—Miss Williams—" Catherine Mavourneen." The Rev. Dr. CROLY, in proposing the health of the Vice-Presidents of the Society, compared the state of the fisherman with that of the peasant class which was, generally, as the most wretched class in society. The peasant look on the sunset with rejoicing, as releasing him from toil—to the fishermen, it was the signal call ing him forth to brave the fury of the elements. The peasant left his home to go to his daily labour with a feeling of almost certainty that he should return to it. again ; the fisherman had no such certainty, yet it was to the fishermen that we were indebted for our naval supremacy. The Church had always taken a peculiar interest in the navy. She had sent more child ren into the navy than any other profession had done. He' could never forget that the illustrious Nelson was the son of a clergyman.—(Loud cheers.) It was to that fact that he attributed the religious feelings of which Nelson, notwithstanding all his faults, had been actuated throughout life.—(Loud cheers.)—The toast was drank with three times three. Admiral YOUNG said he was more accustomed to work than to talk, and therefore he would content himself with simply returning them thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the Members of the House of Commons, who have afforded their influential patronage to this Society.—Drank with three times three. Sir C. LEMAN in returning thanks, said he should have done so with. feelings of higher gratifici tion if, ~in the naval estimates for the year, he had perceived a vote to the Society.—(Cheers.) The extension of this . Society would tend to do away with the Much - abased system of passes for "ship wrecked seamen, and on that account it was well worthy of support. He could bear his testimony to the vast amount of good which the Society had accomplished on the coast of Cornwall.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed, " The Committee of Management."—Drank with three times three. Sir GEORGE WESTPIIAL, in returning thanks, said that there had been already established 406 auxiliary Societies in different parts of the country.—(Loud cheers.) If there was one individual to whom more than another, the Society was under a deep obligation it was Mr. Middlemass, to whose indefatigable exer tions the present prosperous state of the Society was, in a great measure, owing.—(Cheers.) Sir G. COCKBURN said it 'was impossible to do jus tice to the indefatigable exertioass of Mr. Middlemas. Early and lath, Mr. MiddlemaSs was at his post, and as the President of the Society, he knew that it was impossible for any one to do more for the Society than Mr. Middlemass had done. He begged to propose the health of Mr. MiddleMass.—(Cheers.) Major OLIPHANT, as. Steward of the Ladies Gallery, announced that he had collected in half-crowns from the ladies 3/. 12s.—(Lond cheers.) The Health of the Ladies having heen drank with all the honours Sir G. COCKBURN said, that no gentleman who had joined in the toast, could do less than follow the ex ample the ladies had set him, and subscribe his half crown--(Cheers.) Mr. MIDDLEMASS then read the second report of the subscriptions, from which it appeared that the amount received, from the ladies' subscription lists, was 671., ; that there had been collected in the room, in addition to the 3/. 12s. 6d. from the ladies in the gallery, 9/. 7s. 6d., and that the total amount collected was 914/. 7s. The neit toast was—" The Chairman and Court of Directors of the lion. East India Company, with thanks to them for their liberal support." Sir G. COCKBURN said, that as Major Oliphant was a candidate for a seat in the direction of that Company, and as he would most likely be elected, he had better return thanks.—(Cheers.) Major OLIPHANT said, that after such a call he could not resist. The East India Company had always been most liberal and munificent, and if he should ever have the good fortune to be elected to the Court of Directors his voice should always be raised in ad vocacy of such excellent institutions as the present. Sir GEORGE COCKBURN said he had just 'received a letter from a very ingenious gentleman, Mr. Bush, who had undertaken to erect a lighthouse on the Goodwin Sands, and to whom the Admiralty, as in duty bound, would afford every assistance in their power. Mr. Bush stated that he expected that there would r4mber per4pus assembled to see the forum of :the lighthou s e laid, and that whatever FiQAW Plieht i co ) wpapiacQ at the -disposal of the Society.---(Cheers) He begged to propose the health of Mr. Bush.—(Loud cheers.) — Drank with three times three.

In 1839, for the quarter ending in March, there were, in the township of Kendal alone, 618 paupers ; in 1840, the number was 953 ; in 1841, it increased to 1,091 ; and in the same quarter of the current year we have no less than 1,351, which with the addition of 154 for Kirkland, makes the deplorable number Of 1,505 individuals, or one eighth of the population, receiving relief. •In 1839, the expenditure for. Kendal alone was, for the March quarter, 6141. 13s. ld. ; in 1840, 819/. 4s. 6d.; in 1841, it rose to 9111. Gs, 5d.; and this year it amounts to 1,095/. Os. 1 id. But we have not even yet done. The agricultural town ships present, if possible, a still worse picture. They are experiencing the truth of that saying—" He that sows to the wind shall reap the whirlwind." The manu facturing districts, unable any longer to support the numbers which formerly found homes and employment among them, are now sending back to their parishes the surplus population ; and the farmers, in addition to the loss which they have to sustain in the depreciation of their stock from the badness of trade, have also to sup port all who, from some cause, have been reduced to destitution. Such are the results of the Corn-laws ! • Such ever will be the operation of unjust legislation. A fancied, or at best a temporary good, which operates only on a class, must eventually re-act with tenfold calamity upon the heads of those for whose gain injustice is perpetrated upon the people at large. But let us go into the case, as it affects the interests of our own locality. In the March quarter of 1839, the number of paupers in the 55 agricultural townships of the Kendal Union, exclusive of Kirkland and Kendal, .was 1,602 ; in the same quarter of 1840 it rose to 2,028 ; in 1841 it was 2,179 ; and this year the number is stated at 2719, or oue thousand one hundred and seventeen more than in 1839 In the first quarter of 1839 these townships spent for the •maintenance of their poor, 1,879/. 135., while this year the cost was 2,2771. 25., an increase at the rate of One thousand six hundred pounds per annum.—Kendal 11,1e.r.culy.

THE ELECTION.—'We are glad to find that the en tire list of electors has been organized into minute districts, each of which is presided ever by one or more zealous canvas sers, who will receive the promises of the voters, and report to the General Committee. Mr. Michael Browne, the legal agent of Mr. Sturge's friends, has been indefatigable in pro. noting the completeness of this arrangement ; and this gentle man has also taken the opinion of Mr. Boothby, barrister-at. law, as to the mode in which the election is purposed to be conducted, and the latter gentleman ha% been particularly re quired to advise as to the nature of the evidence which, in the present state of election law would be necessary to support a petition against the return of any party who might have recourse to bribery. The result is that so complete a system of watchfulness is organised over all parties who are supposed ever to have offered or received the wages of corruption, that, we deem it utterly impossible that any such acts can escape detection. With this state of things, and with the recent ex amples of so many seats being voided for corrupt practices, we cannot believe that any political party will be able to find a candidate to place himself in the unenviable position of first purchasing his seat by bribery, and then losing it, /fier the expense of a petition has been added to the original cost. Mr. Boothby has been retained as counsel to Mr. Sturge, during the election, and in that capacity has been in Nottingham during the past week. —Nottingham Journal. 110 P INTELLIGENCE.—MAIDSTONE.--Within the last week the bines have made astonishing progress in this neighbourhood, indeed we may say in the greatest part of Mid- Kent.

CHATHAM, MAT I9.—This day a Jury assembled at the Duncan's Head public-house, New4oad, Chatham, to in vestigate the circumstances attendant upon the death of two men, named Thoinas Turner and William Taylor, whos a lives were lost on Monday night last, whilst emptying a cessi , 00l in Best street. The first witness examined was Robert Taylor, brother of the deceased, Wm. Taylor.. He stated that his brother was a bricklayer, and had been employed in making a. - cesspool adjoining to another cesspool, on the premises of Mr-, Farmer, Best-street. The new cesspool was nineteen feet deep„, and the old one nine feet. A stage was erected in the new one„ about nine feet below the surface of the earth. On Monday. night the deceased, Wm. Taylor, and Thomas Turner went.. down into the hole and made an aperture. Witness remained above. Soon afterwards witness heard his brother cry out, "Dear me, I can hardly breathe," when almost in an instant he fell into the soil. Witness called to Turner, and said " For Ged's sake put the rope down and fetch him up." Turner did so; he, however, fell in also. Mr. Dunstan, the master, who. was then on the stage, sang out for the rope, and before he could be brought u p he f e ll an d f a i n t e d. H e lid not fall into the soil. Witness and a person named Farmer pulled out Mr. Dunstan. Witness's brother and Turner were got, out, but they were dead. Benjamin Tribe, surgeon, said hi was. sent for on Monday evening al quarter before ten o'clock. Sari the deceased, Tay lor, immersed in the sewer with his head out of the fluid. The body, havirg been brought up, witness found the deceased was dead. Turner when brought up was also dead. Their deaths were produced by suffocation, by inhaling• a quantity of gas. The Jufy, after some little consideration, returned a verdict— " Accidentally suffocated." The Drury-lane season, as we announced last week conchide to-night with AnderSon's benefit. It has been merely experimental, and if illneready has managed not to be a loser by it, under all the circumstances, he has good reason to be satisfied. People, evidently in an adverse interest, have been circulating stories all the week regarding his supposed heavy losses ; but how little .is really known upon the subject. • may be judged from the fact, thwe all parties maintain that they are well informed, and yet they vary in their statements between . 2,0001. and 12,000/. For our own parts, we do not profess to lie at all in the secret, but this we 'can assert, - that. there is nothing more absurd than such calcula tions. Macready could not commence operations without a certain outlay. and that outlay was some above his esti mate ; but it is as it were seed sown for a next year's crop, and it will enable him to renew his exertions in OCtober under great advantage:S. It is to a certain ex tent Money sank, but with a view to a probable and a large return. It has been ridiculously asserted in some 'tfitatterS that Macready will be content with his present . sacrifice--Ahat he will consider - the experiment as com pleted, andtbat l next year he will not continue his efforts. These are weak inventions of the • enemy, and all those who are favourable to Covent-garden fancy that they must speak against Drnry-lane, I.rgetting that experience has almost invariably shown that the pro , snerit v done house is the prosperity oft be other. As a proof 'that Macready does not intend to relinquish his under ' taking, almost betbre it can be said .to. have commenced, we may announce that he has carnally signed and sealed articles with Mr. and Mrs. C. MattheWa (so we under stand Madame Vestris is to be 'called, in futurf,), giving them jointly not 1001. per week- (110:was foolishly men tioned some time ago, when we rithculed the idea), but more than half that sum. They will both be-soon re lieved from a weight of debt and anxiety, and we may expect see them next year at Drury-lane in high health and full spirits. fiespecting the prospects of Covent Garden, we have at present nothing further to communicate. C. Kemble anti Bartley are to be the managers for the rest of the proprietors, and when we have stated this, we haie really given every thing that has yet.been positively decided. The opinions respect ing the return of Mrs. Butler to the stage are strongly expressed both ways. Our notion of the matter we have already stated, and to that notion we adhere, in spite of all that may he said to the contrary. We have heard it said that C. Kemble does not intend to exert himself more than is necessary as an actor, and that with a view to relieving himself he has been recently negociating with Mr. and Mrs. C. Roan. We can vouch that there is not one word of truth in this report. A few weeks back Daniel Good met in the street Dr. Wade, late surgeon of the . Penitentiary, a gentle man whose high professional attainments were, if possi ble, surpassed by his efforts to improve the moral feeling of the culprits under his care. Good addressed him, but receiving no answer in the first instance, said " I feat- your forget me, doctor ;" the doctor's answer Was "I do know you, Mr. Good, but it is a regula tion in the. Penitentiary that none of its officers should recognise any person who had - been confined there ' " he added the expression of his anxious hope that Good would profit by the lesson he had received, and be, for the faw, a better man. Good instantly said, " Oh, Sir: l rhave got an excellent situation, and - am coachman to an excellent gentleman at Roehampton." " Coach man. !" said Dr. Wade, " why, I should think that man who was capable of pulling, the tongue of a horse out, . was, of all others, the most unfit to be a coach man ; and, but that the regulations of the prison forbicl', me, I most certainly would write to your master, to caution him against you." Good gave assurance of his'• amendment, the sincerity of which has been since tested. MANCHESTER SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SUFFERERS AT tiA.MIIITRGII.—It will be seen by the advertisement in another colum, that, notwithstanding the present is a holiday-week, when business is pretty much at a stand, the warehouses closed, and many of our residents go from home for a short time, the subscription has received an accession, since our last, of upwards of 7601., and that it amounted last night to the sum of 5,6271. We trust that :nest week, when parties ge.nerally have resumed their usual business habits and avocations, a further con siderable augmentation will be made :to the funds for this object.-1 anelacster Guardian.* TUE WEATHER.—After a somewhat long continu---. anew, - of fine dry weather, a change ensued on 'Thursday mornino'. 'At nine- o'clock the rain began to tall, and the will of that day and yesterday's till evening, a suc cession el genial showerS, unaccompanied by thunder, refreshed the parched soil and herbage, and 'must prove ' 1 of great benefit to the young corn. It is unfortunate that it should have spoiled the oat-door enjoyments of many thousand people, especially the Sunday scholars, who Were deprived of their long-atiticipated excursions into the country, or made them only to get drenched with, the rain. But the crops of the farmer and gar dener were in need 'of rain, and it has been hailed throughout 'the country, as a- very seasonable supply.— Manehe.iter Guardian. At the special meeting of the . Town Council on the 20th,init., the Mayor drew, the attention of the members to the report that the London mail `coach, rid Qxford,, was to be taken off the road, when' it was unanimously resolve& to memorialise the Postmaster-General against so mischievous an alteration, and a Committee was up. pointed to draw up the memorial for the signature of the Council And the citizens generally. In the course of the conversation that passed on the question, Mr. John Hood stated that he had been in correspondence with the Pm tinaster-General on the subject, and who had re pliedlhat the representations he had made, showing the inexpediency of the alteration, should receive due consi deration.— Worcester Her old. AIiTOTIIER SUPPOSED M URDER .—Throughout toe whole of Friday Croydon was in a state of excitement, owing to finding the bode of a young man which was lying in afield near Croydon Common, with his head shattered in the most frightful manner, his brains being scattered all around hiM, and the body being covered with blood. At his side was a small pistol, the contents of which had been dis charged, and from the situation in which it was lying it is be lieved that the young man could not have committed so rash an act himself. On searching his pockets some gunpowder and . bullets were found, which evidently had been thrust into them while the, body had been lying on the ground, no doubt to make it appear that the unfortunate man had committed sui cide. : His body,which has not yet been identified, lies at the Mail Coach Tavern, Croydon Common. The deceased appa rently was about twenty years of age, 5 feet 4 inches in height, and wore 'a brown frock coat.—( Another version:)—A meat extraordinary and determined act of suicide was committed at. Croyslonsain Friday night. The following particulars of the transaction are furnished by one of our correspondents : About eleven o'clock on Friday night the inhabitants near Croydon-common were alarmed by the report of pistol-shots upon the common, but as no cries were heard, or other alarm given, no inquiry or search was made. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, a man named Bryant, going to his work, dis covered the dead body of a young man, very well dressed, lying upon the grass. He gave an alarm, and Inspector Collier was soon upon the spot., and the body was removed to the Mail Coach public-house, when it was found that the head of the deceased had been blown nearly to atoms. Near the spot, where the body was discovered, was found a pistol that had been re cently discharged, and a hook entitled " Remarks on the In -Inence of Mental Cultivation and Mental Excitement upon Health. By Amariah Brigham, M.D." This book appeared b e l i a g n h k t le p a la v e e e s s, tb e er v e idt v. m .a t s ly wr b it y ten a in pi p st e o n l- c h il a t li b , e a fo n l d . to have been made use of as a target, for it was perforated o in n o se n v e e o n f t o h r e lowing sentence :—" Having no watch I. cannot say what is the hour, but the sun appears to be down, or below the horizon, and the crows and other birds are busy and pleased, and all nature content and happy but me; because of not knowing how to make a better use of my brain, I have come here to have it shattered. It rains— it is cold---or, at least, I feel cold—an tit is darkish." Upon the personal the deceasedbeing searched six shilling and sixpence in silver, and eightpence in copper acre found in his pockets, and also several bullets, and a number of percussion caps, but nothing whatever likely to afford a clue to discover the identity of the de ceased.
