NEW FUEL ComPlarr.--A. prospectus was issued last week of an undertaking, to ha .ealled the Trinidad Bitu minous Fuel Company, with ea capital of 50,000/. Its proposed object is to convert Vie material supplied by the large patch lake in the igen d of Trinidad into a fuel acted for steam and other purl .oses ; and, according to the prospectus, a sum of 6,00011.., together with a perma-. nent royalty of 2s. 6d. per tort, is to be paid to the pro prietor of an estate adjoining tf ie lake, by whom the re quisite method has been die co vered, and who has ob- Itained front the local Governr ne nt the exclusive privilege of the manufacture for 14 yertr4 A meeting of ticket-of-leave men, convened by Mr. H. Mayhew, the author of " London Labour and the London Poor," was held at the National Hall, Holborn, last evening, with the view of affording to persons of this class who are anxious to lead a reformed life an op portenity of stating the difficulties they have to encoun ter in their endeavours to obtain an honest livelihood. About 50 members of the body responded to Mr. May hew's invitation. The men were admitted on present ing their tickets-of-leave, and were required on entrance to fill up the columns of a register, setting forth their ages, their occupations, the offences for which they were last convicted, their sentences, and the amount of in struction they had severally received. From the infor mation thus collected it appears that only three out of the 50 present were above the age of 40, the large ma jority ranging between 18 and 35, the highest age of all being q 8 ; that they consisted of labourers, hawkers, costermongers, blacksmiths, shoemakers, carpenters, and other handicraftsmen : that their previous punishments varied from two years' to 14 years' transportation ; and that more than one half of them had been educated either at day-schools or Sunday schools. Suspecting that the men would be unwilling to attend if the police presented themselves at the hall or at its entrance, Mr. Mayhew took the precaution to apply beforehand to the Metro politan Commissioners on the subject. The authorities at once acceded to the request thus made to them, and not a solitary constable was permitted to overawe the meeting. Mr. MAYHEW opened the proceediazs by explaining at some le g‘h the object for which he had called them to gether. He wag anxious, be said, that the public should be made b Ater acquainted than it was with the condi tion and the aspirations of ticket-of-leave men. He had himself trusted and tried many of them in various ways, and hod never been wronged one farthing - by them, and be u ished society to feel as strongly persuaded as lie was that there was a latent sperk of good left in every one of them, however degraded, which only required developing to raise them to the pesition which all must &sire :o see them fill. Having described the nature of the ticket-of-leave system, and eulogited its introduction, Mr. Mayhew preceeded co contend that it had worked most suceessfully, inasmuch as statistical returns proved that only 51 per cent. of the total number of tickets of leas e arinted between September, 1553, and December 31. 1855, (namely 4.612) hal been followed by relapses on the part ef their recipients into their former courses ; whereas the average proportion of recommittals within the United Kingdom was 33 per cent e of the entire num ber of prisoners tried. Various obstacles, however, in terposed to check the benefits that must otherwise flow from the recent change. Among these were the roving and unsettled habits of the men, which indisposed them fir steady, monotonous employMent. To do anything effectual for their permanent amelioration society must as far a; possible work in consonance with their nature, and not in opposition to it. In this respect trading at fo-ded a good outlet for their industry, requiring as it did no certificate of character from those who em barked in it, and all that they wanted was a little stock-money to start with. The formation of a society which should advise and help them in the work of self elevation was most desirable, and the establishment of street rraekets conducted under proper regulations to gether with lodging-house' and other adjuncts would also be of essential service towards the same end. After some other remarks Mr. Mayhew invited several of the men to amend the platform, and express their opinions as to tie beat mode in which their class might be a ;sistee. The first to answer this summons was a young man of neat and comparatively respectable appearance, who seemed to be known to the rest by the name of "Peter." With great fluency and remarkable propriety of expres sion he proceeded to narrate his own past career. Having, he said, been transported for seven years, ho was sent to Milbank Prison, where he was put to the tailoring business. Being fond of books, he was enabled while there to improve his previous education, and even began to "tackle " algebra. After the lapse of 14 months be went to Portsmouth, where he was employed in wheeling harrows from morning to night. During, the whole of his confinement his perpetual source of anxiety was what was to become of bine when he should be lihereted. -He applied for counsel and encourage ment to the chaplain, but that gentleman refused to do anything for him unless be became a communicant, a thing which he was obliged conscientiously to decline. He succeeded better with the second clergyman of the prison, who was a man of more liberal ideas than his predecessor ; and he frequently expressed to him his fears that no other resource was open to him, on regain ing his liberty, but.to return to London, where he bad been fiat transported from, and that, eing a marked man and known to the police, and having no character to offer as a security to any employer, he would never find work, but must go back to thieving to save him self from starvation. (Applause.) When released he had 61. 12s. in his pocket, and when he got to Southampton the officer of the penal establishment, in whose company he wog, kingly offered him a'drop of brandy. He took a little, which, as he had not tasted spirits for 4 years before, immeiiately got into his head e eso that with the sanerema Anite intoxicated, and spent all his money the sati:Wiii4ii; and not only so, but he got locked up into tlec bargain. (Laughter.) At least, if ho did net spend it all himself ::omebo<ly else assisted him to spend it. (I, iughter.) Arriving in London without a farthing, and wTiout a friend in the world,with no prospect of employment, and with no one, Übe wanted a meal, to say, "-Here it is for yon," what was a man to do 7 Before he could brine , himself to thieve he walked the streets in a vain search for work for three months, until he wort out two pair of shoes, and grow emaciated from having nothing batter to eat than a bit of bread and a herritr , . In this despe rate state of thina he met with his old associates, and for a period of 2 months ho did very well as far as money went, for he made 51. or 61. a-week. This, however, was., earned by practices which he sincerely disliked; but then, if the public would not allow him to make 1/. by honester means, what was a man to do ? This course, as might have beau expected, soon led to his apprehension, and he was sentenced to another 12 months' imprisonment, whin?, expired only last Monday. Hearing that this meeting was to he held, he had eagerly attended it, in the hope that it would result in some permanent-bene fit to him and those like him, who were struggling, amid the greatest difficulties and ErvereA persecution, to become honest members of society. (Hear, hear.) Knocked about by the police en every side, and cJldly received by the pu'b'ic, he was at that moment in a condition in which he did not know where to g't his I next meal without stealing it ; but if the encouragement he'd out to his oppressed elate by the benevolent gentle men who had come forward that evening in their helial was only realised, from that time forward he was deter mined not again to put his hand to any dishonest action. (Cheers.) _ _ . Tine next speaker was a cestermonesr, of about 25 years of age and rather diminutive stature, who said that, having been left an orphan when only 10 years old. he took to selling oranges about the streets to get a living ; but after spending a year so in that way he fell into the society of a few Westminster boys, avian whom he went a-thieving, nuti! he got seven years' transporta tien at No nate. Three years and seven months of his sentence were passed at the Isle of Wight, and 11 months more at Portsmouth. He was pressed to take the Sacra ment while in prison, but not liking to play flee hypocrite he refused. 'When released he returned to London arid traded for two or three weeks in hareskins and rabbitskins. While s. assieg through Tothill-street, Westminster, one day, two policemen cause up to him and wanted to search his sack, which was full of skins, because they said lie was a ticket-of-leave man, and suspectA that he bad somethirg not come honestly by. Rather than allow them to look into his sack he went to the police-court in their custody, and insisted on seeing the magistrate. Before he could say a word to his worship about the treatment he had received, the inspector spokefirst, called hlin a " ticket-of-leave," and stated that he had been very violent and saucy. Instead of listenino. tinder such eir cnin,tanees, to what he had to say f r himself, the magis trate also burst out, " Oh, you are an insolent fellow and a disgrace to society—if the Secretory of State knew of your doings he would banish you ;" and, as his worship also muttered something about sending him to " oiled " for contempt of Court, Le thought it best to " hook it." (Laughter.) Having learnt something of shoemaking while at the Isle of Wight, although not enough to en able him to get a living, he next tried to get work in that line at Northampton, hut, having no tools, he failed. lie then went on to Derby in a state bordering on starvation, and be obtained an interview with a ma giArate in that town, whom he asked to assist him in getting back to London. This gentleman would scarcely believe his tale and thought him a returned convict. Another person at Derlov, of whom lie had before this begged alms, gave him ls. At length be reached Lou don in a most iniserahle state, and by the help of his cousie he got into the market again. Ire then did, better, and last Christmas 12 months he got married. His trade had been very low for the last six weeks, and he just enannged to "crack a crust ;" but please God he would never go back again to thieving. (Cheers.) He was not much of a taker ; and therefore he would only add that he hoped the kind gentlemen who had taken up their cause would continue to exert themselves until something satisfactory was done to give fair play to the ill-need ticket-of-leave men. (Applause.) A stonemason next addressed the assemblage, bearing similar testimony to the hardships endured by his class. He was not, however, so ill off as those who preceded him, as since his liberation ho Lad obtained employment at hie trade, and was now earning a comfortable liveli hood. At the samo time, be had been anxious to be present to show his sympathy for the body of men to wham he belonged, many individual members of which be knew to be at this moment ground down. by . the heaviest distress. An elderly man, who described himself as a dock labourer, next recited his tale of misery. He had been, he said, convicted of robbery at the Old Bailey, and sen tenced to 14 years' transportation, although entirely in nocent. He had been sent to Milbank, toWoolwicb, and to Gibraltar, and at the latter place was subjected to the harshest treatment. Flogging went on there from before daylight till late at night. 21. 10s. out of the• sum of 4/. 14s. 6d. allowed him on leaving Gibralter was:stopped to pay his passage home. He had worked for 1.5 or 16 months at the docks, but he was now out of wafts, and THE LITERARY FUND. The annual general meeting of the members of this society took place at their rooms, 72, Great Russell street, yesterday. Much interest was excited in the pro. ceediugs in consequence of the previous circulation of the following intimation amongst the members : " London, March 1, 1856. "We, the undersigned, beg to acquaint you that it ill our intention, at the annual general meeting of the Lite rary Fund, to be held at the rooms of that society on ‘Vednesday, the 12th inst,, at two o'clock, to propose and support the resolution of which we now forward you a copy. You may perhaps be aware that at the last general meeting a similar resolution was proposed, and was left in a minority of four. "Resolved,—That whereas during the 11 years from 1344 to 1854, both inclusive. the cost of assisting 477 applicants to the Literary Fund amounted to 5,601/. 13s. 7d. (exclusive cf collector's poundage, advertise. meets, and expenses attending the anniversary dinner) ; and whereas the cost of assisting 624 applicants to the Artists' General Benevolent Fund within the came 11 years amounted to 9941. 4s. 10d. (also exclusive of col lector's poundage, advertisements, and expenses attend ing the anniversary dinner), this meeting is of opinion that the expenses of managing the Literary Fund are unreasonable, and that a great change must be made in the administration of its affairs.—We have the honour to be, your obedient servants, " CMAIILES DICKENS.

Cabbell, MX., presided, and there were also present Mr. C. Dickens, the Rev. Dr. Whewell, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, the Rev. Dr. CrOly, Mr. Albert Smith, Mr. Mark Lemon, the Rev. Thomas Hartwell L-Torne, Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. John Forster, Dr. Forbes Winslow, Mr. Charles Baldwin, Mr. C. W. Mike, Mr. Toole, Mr. Webster, Q.C., Mr. R. Bell, the Rev. W. Cureton, the Rev. J. li. Gurney, Mr. M. Milner, M.P. ' Mr. Twining, M. J. Ivatt Briscoe, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Webster, of the Adelphi, Dr. A. Guest, Mr. Thornton, &c. The treasurer's report having been received, Mr. DILKE said that he intended moving the same resolution substantially that he proposed last year, when ho and the party with wheal ho acted appeared to he in a minority ; but that result was brought about by the gentlemen whose conduct was impugned, Jiainely, the committee, votin ,, in their own favour. He trusted the committee would not vote on this occasion. After going through the society's statistics, he moved the resolution above-mentioned. Mr. PROCTOR (Barry Cornwall) seconded the motion. Mr. R. BELL thought the committee ought not to b 3 disfranchised. They had subscribed 1,3001. to the funds of the society, and should not be called upon to refrain fermi voting, even if their services were not taken into consideration. It would be a strange thing if, wben in Parliament, a motion were submitted inculpating the Government, the members of the Government were not allowed to vote. Some statements had been made in re ference to the manner in which the fund had been dis tributed, and a comparison had been instituted Letween the manner in which this fund was administered, and the manner in which the committee of the Artists' Be nevolent Fund disposed of their resources. It should be remembered that artists formed a more compact body than literary men composed, and that consequently re lief could be administered to that body at much less cost than it could Le to the latter. Mr. Rill cited many of the London societies for the purpose of showing, by comparison, that their expenses for management were far higher than those of the Literary Fund. He showed also that the eatery of the secretary had been from time to time increased by general meetings, and presents made to him in consequence of his extraordinary exertions in behalf of the society. He was of opinion that if these who die. approved of the proceedings of the society objectel to giving 20/. a -Sear to the secretary, or paying 140/. a-year for a house, it was but fair that they should put their Views in the form of specific resolutions. Mr. DICKENS said it might be assumed from the speech of Mr. Bell that the committee considered they had not spent sufficient money, and were now about to awake to the great reform of how they could spend more. The members were told last year that this wag a model sort of concern, and Vlat only about 401. out of every 1001. were spent in carrying on its machinery. He objected altogether to the manner in which the affairs of the society were conducted. Last year Le went to Willis's Rooms, to attend a special meeting of the society, and, with the exception of the 'younger of the fairer sex, it wag very much like Almaeik l n in the morn ing. (Laughter.) A noble marquis walked through a minuet with very great decorum, mid was succeeded by - „ then by a bishop—after cessions were afte - rwards represented. lie did not like that system of toadyism. (Hear, hear.) At the last meeting, towards the small hours, a distinguished lite rary man, who occupied the chair, said he felt something like a servant in plush who was left to sweep the stage when there were no more distinguished people to come on. (Laughter.) The house in Blooinsbury-square, and the 'tending secretary, were a species of the same scut of chow. He said this openly and plainly, because this fend eves pompously and unnaturally administered, whereas it ought to be modestly and quietly adminis tered at a email expense. The members of the Literary Fund had now been told for the second time during the last twelve months that the charges upon the society were unreasonable, and it was now for 'them to say whether or not they would act upon the matter. At present the fund seemed to rely upon its annual dinner and upon toadying once a year to a number of persons of distinction. Mr. BLACKMORE contended that if the affairs of the society were conducted by purely literary men• it must inevitably fail. It was perfectly untrue that the affairs of the society were mismanaged, and that it was unworthy of public patronage. Mr. J. FOR3TER said the society was formed for the as sistance and social elevation of men of letters, and that they had a right, according to the intention of its foun der, to have a voice in the administration of its affairs. Mr. M. MenNEs, M.P., thought the ccuree taken by Mr. Dickens and his friends was not in the spirit of men whose sole object wes the improvement of the institu tion. Theirs was the attitude of men whose desire evi dently was to turn the society to something else, or, fail ing in ehat, to ruin it altogether. He thought that it would be highly undesirable that the committee should be composed exclusively of literary men, in whose hands ha believed it would soon become a cii lee or a coterie. Mr. MURRAY, of Albemarle-street, moved the follow ing amendment : " That the two items of enpenditure which constitute the princidal charge upon the Literary Fund consists of the rent of a house and the salary of the secretary, and that these charges have been incurred under the recom mendation and continued sanction of successive general meetings ; that the maintainance of a house was always considered indispensable from the earliest period of the existence of the institution, and that a fund, called the House Fund,' amounting to 6,541/. 25., waelexpressly funded for that purpose bye separate subscription, which was opened in the year I SOS ; that with reference to the zeal and ability with which the duties of the office of secretary are discharged by the gentleman who new holds that appointment, the salary attached to it, which was rased to its present amount by the unani mous votes of general meetings, iii not excessive ; that the increasing prosperity of the institution clueing the 11 yews affords satisfactory evidence of the judgment and efficiency with which its affeire have been adminis tere 1, and that whilst this meeting recognises the Aeces city and importance of a wise economy, it is of opinion that that object will be beet attained by confiding to the consideration of the doipmnittes the adoption of eueli retrenchments in the general expenditure as may be consistent with the security of the fund anti the exten sion of its reeourees." Mr. 11Anatisox :.ecanded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN then took the votes of the meeting, and there appeared— For the us iginal motion SO For the amendment Majority for the amendment '2l The amendment was declared to ba carried. committee for the coming year having; been elelled, thank , ; were unanimously awarded to the chairman, and the meeting aertrated. The funeral of Madame Marra. mother of the ex- Pre ident, of the Constituent Assembly, took place on Monday. Agiong the mourners were MA.

Lord L ndesborough was to have presided, but he sent a medical certificate at the last moment to the effect that indisposition precluded his attend ance. The chair was, therefore, taken by Mr. C. Sneyd Edgeworth (brother of the authoress), and the list of stewards included the names of Mr. D. Ker, M.P.. !Mr. Wolverley Attwood, Mr. Chancli,s Pole, Mr. J. Penn, Lc. The report of the society shows the great extent of benefit which it has con Jarred, and still confers, on the lower orders, seeing that during last winter no le. than 75,632 destitute persons were relieved by theEs "good Samaritans," while 15,431 attended Divine service, and received Scripture instruc tion at the institution, and 20,298 houselees poor made use of the free baths and lavatories. A subscription of 2501. was announced at the close of the chairman's speech, proposing success to the charity. The arrangements of the festival, under the supervision of Mr. Funge and Mr. Palmer, gave every satisfaction. The vocalists present were Miss Lucy Escott, Mr. Leffler, Signor L . Mariani, Mr. Allen, and Dir. W. Lee.
