SIR LIONEL'S PREDECESSOR, THE MARQUIS Or SLIGO.— Jamaica, during the hatter part cif 1835, was the scene of re peated and vexatious di§ptites hetWeen the Executive and Le gislature, although these disputes regarded particular legislative measures; and not any proposed alterations in the existing con stit htion. The principal of these measures was what was termed "the Act irt .s-;that art Att to make provision for carrying the Abolition Act into effeet—and a Bill for strengthening and regulating the police, which Was rendered necessary by the same great change. The Colonial Legisla ture had passed both of these measures, but only for a limited tithe the Marquis of Sligo, who was then at the head of the Government, was dtislrtius that they should endure for the whole period of the apprenticeships. Lord Sligo accordingly, thus at issue with the Legisldtrtre, determined to persevere in his purpose; the Legislature of the island was no less resolute in Assembly. As Governor, he re fused to pass the Bill as amended by the Council. The House of Assembly voted this a breach of privilege : a prorogation efisnedi and then a new Session, at which the House addressed itself to the King. A ff airs h aving; come to this crisis, the Marquis of Sligo found the situation of Governor far from being a pleasant one—one scarcely tolerable. He was now in constant contact with an unfriendly Assembly, to which he had even found it necessary, finally, to confess that he had treated them ill : it was a position, too, which was injurious to the dignity of his office. Accordingly, at the beginning of Sep tember, the Marquis of Sligo left the island, having been re called or allowed to resign. In the same month that his predecessor left it, Sir Lionel Smith, the Governor of Barhadoes, arrived at the island, and succeeded in his place, the British Parliament, in the mean time, having passed the Bill for reviving and continuing the act in aid of the Colonial legislature. Sin LioNEL's GOVERNMENT, 1836-7.—The Government of Sir Lionel Smith gave at first great satisfaction in Jamaica. The apprenticeship system, hitherto so troublesome, worked in quiet; though the negroes refused to work extra-time in raising vegetables ; yet even this was reckoned a symptom of a very improved state of things ; the chief embarrassment he had to contend with was in the debased state of the currency, which was so longer adequate to the en:arged and improved circulation of the country. GROWING DIsQUIETUDES.—The posture of affairs in Jamaica, however, soon became serious, and involved Sir Lionel in imminent troubles. lie was charged, in the adminis tration of his Government, with acting in the spirit of a decided partisan, and lending on all occasions, a credulous ear to the false and highly-coloured statements of the s jpendizry Magis • trates. It was also charged against him that he was in the practice of transmitting to the Colonial-office all the statements he received from these functionaries, without accompanying his ex parte communications by any of the numerous representa tions which had been delivered to him from other quarters. LORD GLENELG AND SIR LIONEL'S EXPLANATIONS.— Despatches accordingly passed between Sir Lionel and the head of the Colonial.offiee at home, when the former gave an account of his administration, and the difficulties attending it : from those despatches we give the following summary account:— It would appear that affairs were improving in Jamaica, when the proceedings at home, and particularly the interference ol the Imperial Parliament, by the Slavery Abolition Amend ment, and the West India Prisons Bills, created an angry spirit throughout the island. Sir Lionel, being the proposer of these measures in the Assembly-house, as the organ of the Home Government, at the Convention of the Legislature. June 5, 1838, advanced these measures for the abolition of apprentice. ship. The answer of the Assembly was significant of its tem per. "Jamaica," they observed, " does indeed require repose ; and we anxiously hope that should we determine to remove an unnatural servitude, we shall be left in the exercise of our con stitutional privileges to legislate for the benefit of all classes, without any further Parliamentary interference. On the 16th of June, however, Sir Lionel Smith had the satisfaction of giving the Royal Assent to an Act for the total abolition of prtedial apprenticeship from the ensuing Ist of August. But it was with no cordial spirit that the Assembly lent themselves to this measure. It was wrung from them by the necessity of th, cave, and the language of sullen discontent formed their Ad dress to the Queen shortly after. _ . On the promulgation of the Act, however, Sir Lionel trans mitted a cheering picture to Lord Glenelg, in these words : " There has hardly been time to hear generally of the effects of the Act on the labouring population, except that they are uni venally quiet and happy . . . . The sugar-crop is gettinf: on as usual . . . . Proprietors are everywhere engaged io making bargains for wok . . . . The country is deriving infinite benefit from the influence of the missionaries, who im press the negroes with moral obligations, and the just remune ration of their labours." The important Ist of August arrived at length, anti the ne.rt, population of Jamaica came into the full enjoyment of their freedom. The day was observed by proclamation as one of thanksgiving and prayer. Sir Lionel writes enthusiastically ot the prevailing happiness and quiet. Two months, however, had not elapsed from the let ot August, before we find Sir Lionel Smith's despatches beginning to lose their cheerful and encouraging tone. He writes ot "the most unfortunate state of excitement throughout the island," created by "the practice of demanding exorbitant rents :" anti on taking the part of the negroes he writes that • under the oppressions which bear upon them they are "pa tient and submissive beyond all praise ; while, however, 1 am under no uneasiness for the peace of the island, I am powerless to remedy the cruel wrongs imposed upon them." But new troubles were now in store. The Act which in the course of the session passed the Imperial Parliament, for re gulating the prisons. in the West Indies, which we have before adverted to, wa, , no sooner proclaimed in Jamaica by the Go vernor, than it aroused a violent storm of indignation. Reso lutions were passed by a majority of 24 to 5 in the House of Assembly against this Act, as a violation of all their rights as British subjects. Upon this, Sir Lionel Smith prorogued the Assembly for a few days, to give them time to reconsider their decision. Again they re-assembled, when by a majority of 21 to 3, their resolutions were more determined still. The Go vernor, having no other resource, at once dissolved this inflam mable and angry assembly. "No House of Assembly," writes the Governor, " can now be found that will acknowledge the authority of Queen, Lords, and Commons, to enact laws for Jamaica." A new Assembly was nevertheless convened, and met on the 18th of December, but its proceedings too well justified Sir Lionel's anticipations. A prorogation again ensiled, but not unaccompanied by what Sir Lionel calls " an unpleasant cir cumstance;" for the proper officer, despatched to deliver the message was, through the tumult, forced out of the House, and when the Provost-Marshal was sent to summon this contu macious body, he knocked to no purpose. By a third attempt, however, he was enabled to deliver his message at the bar. IlEcAn or SIR LioNEL.—It was not less evi lent now to the Government at home, than to Sir Lionel himself, that the upshot of affairs was too serious to be tampered with. A Bill was brought into the Imperial Pa.liament for suspending the existing constitution of the island. But it was obvious, how ever, at all events, that the existing Governor, whatever might have been the abstract merits of his administration, had been too deeply committed in the late unhappy dissensions, for him to carry satisfactorily into execution the conciliatory course of policy which the Government had concerted to adopt. Sir Lionel Smith, therefore, quitted Jamaica on the Ist of October, 1839, and was succeeded by Sir Charles Metcalfe, who had been lately in discharge of important functions in our East Indian empire. Slit LIONEL, GOVERNOR AT PORT LOUIS.--Early, we believe, in 1840, Sir Lionel was appointed to the Governorship of the Mauritius; and his discharge of the Administration, which he continued up to the moment of his death, over a po pulation of more than 98,62:1 souls, 8,111 of whom are whites, 15,444 five blacks, 69,076 slaves, with troops and strangers, was to the last satistacto y. Sir Lionel was in his 64th year. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. WEDNESDAY.

At the f." ll ° w ing election th ere were on l y s i x ma l es and tines' fema' les- And, withi n a period of nine years, so strong the practical proofs of the utility and enlightened beneel" axe of this Institution, you were enabled, at a single elee. lists, to appoint, instead of nine, no less than ninety pension e is on your bounty, and to place upon your books a 'tuna* t of pensioners amounting altogether, I believe, to not less, 4 or little less, than coo. But, unhappily, a change came over the prospects of your Institution—a change to be deprecated in any case where the progress of a useful and benevolent society is arrested by unexpected causes ; but a change, most of all to be deprecated, when the failure fell not on the prospective, or contingent, or pos sible objects of your bou n ty, b ut, when I may almost I say, a breach of faith had been committed, and those to whom you had, in some measure, pledged yourselves that, you should continue a monthly payment of 31s. were' limited to a still more humble pittance. It. must have been most painful to - the, pito motors of this charity to have felt themselves compelled, by a cessation of subscriptions , nets only to cease a ddi ng t o th e num b er o f t h e o bj ects of 'their benevolence, but to take, as was the case, from nmen at GO, 70, or 80 years of age, a large portion of tints pit iance which they had promised themselves would c.heer and relieve their declining years. In 1833, instead of 31s_ a month to male pensioners, you were enabled to give but, 35., and instead of 225. you were enabled to give- but 2s. to females. That effect was not to be attributed. to a decline of charitable feeling—God forbid—but to the increase of local pension societies,. which withdrew large sums from your subscriptions. But, since the year 1833 s the prospects of the institution have gradually improved, and, I believe, you have since been enabled to give 15s. a month to the older recipients of your bounty. An in stitution like this, open for the relief of the honest and industrious artizan whom misfortune has overtaken in the decline of life, deserves every snpport and sympathy. I hope that with your aid, its benefits may be perma nently increased ; and I now call upon you to drink to "The prosperity of the London General Pension Socissty " ' 1 The toast w as d run k w i t h enthusiastic applause. • The health of the Duke of Buceleuch, the Presidient of the Institution was next drank.

Mr. litensitilSoN, in acknowledging the toast, said that he begged rave to return his sincere thanks to the Noble Lord in the Chair for the honour lie had slow him in proposing his health, and to the company for thme manner in which they had received it. llis Lordship• had so completely exhimsted every detail connected with . the Institution that it a us perfectly impossible he could urge any Aing new upon time subject, and perfectly unne cessary that he should aflempt it. Ile should only re 'had so often' said, that if undividei and d p rvo t ted hathe attention i to the interests of the Institution on his part could effect the object which they had all so much at heart—nauely, the raeing the pensions to the max i m= sm 'ssunt, he should be amply rewarded for any trouble he had taken.—(Cheers.) if any praise were due to him much more °raise was due to the Directors, who, . had so efficiently piesided over time interests of the Insti t might enlarge rpon those topics f,m:on. r ti nenns l i l d e e ! r ft a -i h t le th t a n t is ne m: ont he knew that the Noble L or d in the Chair had other en,Tagements that evening, which would call immediately presence.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The new five-act play, entitled Plighted Troth, whi . ch was produced for the first time last night at this Olean is one of those unlucky productions in which effect constantly aimed at, and as constantly missed, from the author's want of truth and simpl city in the managemc nt of his details, and the development ofhis rharaters. It A in vain to deny hint a errtain sort of energy, as regards , conception; but it is misdirected energy, at variance with the propriety of nature, and put forth will far too much parade and fuss. He .werdoes almost everything that he touches ; elaborates /rifles, and in critical places is perpetually hovering on the verge of the ridiculous. Ilis path was clear before him ; but in stead of maintaining a straightforward course, he moves in a circuitous, zig-zag direction ; halts when he should be on the alert ; and keeps his eye ifted on everything but the goal. The consequence is, ti'lat he excites an interest only by fits and starts, and th..a chiefly by a convulsive, spasmodic display of power, that is more startling than impressive —except., indeed, in the scene of the closing catastrophe, where something like a true dramatic spirit is manifested. But. the radie'al defect of the author is the set, formal preparations that he makes for incidents, which, when fully de veloped, lose their effect from their having been all apprehended beforehand. The plot of his play— which, by the bye, is most loosely constructed— is something like the following :—Sir Gabriel Grim wood (Macready) is a wealthy, unscrupulous Cumber land Baronet, of headstrong passions, and of a most vin dictive character, who, by the agency of his artful stew ard, Wormall (Phelps), contrives to obtain possession of his ward's, Itaymond Willoughby's (Anderson), estates # and to get him shipped off for a foreign country. Pre-r vious to his departure, Willoughby seeks an mterview• with Maddeline (Miss Ilelen Faucit), a dependent in Grimwood's household, who is warmly attached. to him, but for whom he appears to enter-. twin no more than a mere passing penchant. Wit) this interview the first act terininat:v. The inci dents in the second are supposed to take place Um years later. The steward, Wormall, has, in the interim, managed to secure to himself his master's estates, who has been implicated in the Jacobite risings in Ireland in 1688, and is supposed to be either dead or an exile. In the midstotjhisprosperity,jhowever,W ormall learns thatG rim wood still lives, and is in London, pining in a state of indi, gence, and half-frenzied with his reverses. .Scarcely: has he got over the shock of this surprise, when he, hears that Willoughby is also in the metropolis, and . that consequently he must be compelled to refund all of which he has robbed him. Scarcely knowing how to act under such a complication of annoyances, he resolves at length on having an interview with the desperate, half-crazed Baronet, in the hope of prevailing on him, by the offer of returning him a moiety of his estates, to make no attempt to recover the remainder. He accordingly visits him in his wretched retreat, but stung to desperation by his bitter taunts, stabs him, and is soon afterwards ap prehended for the murder, with which incident the play closes. Thes.e arc the leading incidents, but there is a sort of underplot, in which Raymond Willoughby, and Maddeline, are chiefly concerned. The latter, during the former's absence from England, has been proved to be the descendant of the Counts of St. Auriel, and, in con sequence, has succeeded to the title just before Wil loughby's return. As she still loves him, and be reci procates her affection, not dreaming that she is the poor dependent whose attachment he formerly sligttetil she determines on making a trial of his sincerityo.'n" after a long and somewhat superfluous conversations., confesses that she is the identical Maddeline w hom he' had once rejected ; and moved by his penitence, accepts him as her husband. The whole of this underplot is very clumsily managed, and is attached to the other portions of the play by the slightest possible link& In fact, it is little better than an excrescence *hough it is from this fragmentary episode that th e drama derives its title. Tare are two striking incidence in the play-- one, where Grimwood is represented brooding over his revenge, in spite of the efforts of a Catholic priest in attendance to bring him into a better frame of mind; and the other, where he taunts Wormall into . the corn-- mission of murder, in presence of a concealed agent, in the hope that lie will in consequence be d enounce d, an d hanged. On both these occasions Macready's acting was uncommonly fine ; his conception of the character was bold without being overcharged ; and he exhibited, strange to say, none of that mannerism which has been so often objected to him. The fierce glimmerings cot sanity that kept incessantly struggling through his mad ness, were pourtrayed with startling earnestness ; and he appeared as though he were kept alive, and in a state of imperfect intelligence, solely -bv the idea ofr revenge, on which he gloated with all the remorseless: avidity of a fiend. Miss Helen Faucit played the part. of the Countess St. Auriel with infinite grace and spirit ; but her acting was in a great degree lost on the au dience, from the very perplexing nature of the character she represented. Phelps, as the steward Wormall, was somewhat too boisterous ; and Mr. Anderson, as Wil loughby, made a very sickly, sentimental lover. The language of the play is often terse, animated, and nervous, but oftener still turgid and inflated. Here and there it betrays evidences of poetic power ; but, like angels visits, these tokens are " few and far between." Por tions of the dialogue, indeed, were so ridiculous, though meant to be tragic, that the audience could not refrain from laughter. The scene* , was excellent throughout ; and the ball-room scene magnificent. The play, how. ever, was coldly received, chiefly from its want of na• tare, simplicity, and coherence ; and we cannot promise • it a run of more than a few nights. • • AUDITORS, Professor Wheatstone, F.

FOSTER, has instructions to submit for 1-7.11 SALE, in Lots, as prepared for Auction, 27,0001. worth of LINEN DRAPERY GOODS, being the Stock adver tised for Auction on the Premises, CORNER of FLEET STREET and FARRINGDON-STREET, tracing under the firm of HEBBLEWHITE and CO., notice having been given that an auction is not permitted by the lease. 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. Ladies are soli cited to ma!:e allowances for, the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men from his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. The linens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:— s. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. 6d. to 2s. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About 850 of his curiously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 3d. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for 1,000 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which are some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheetings and table•linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried on for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but. fine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliity. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in convenient a further reduction will be made in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. 6d. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from Is. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings. Mr. Foster wants an offer for the following lots from the trade :—Ribands, as per book, 1,8301.; lace, as per book, 640/. ; gloves, as per book, 1431. All the other goods will be sold as usual in selling-off stock s. d.

Mr. Foster would not have undertaken this sale had he not felt satisfied of the character of the goods to be sold, and ladies may depend that every article will fully answer the description given in this advertisement, or at the time of sale. The prin cipal part of the stock having been kept in their wholesale ware houses, will be found in good condition, and any person buying in large quantities, no obstacle wit exist in the way of price; also a liberal discount will be allowed off the bill when it ex ceeds 101.

TilE JOCKEY Cm:h.—The following is an official report of t h e m ee ti n g on Tuesday last :—" Lord George Ilentinck stated that, anxious to conciliate the good will of the Club, whilst he adheres to all the principles and maxims of Turf law, laid down in his protest of the 12th of February, he is desirous to with draw and express his regret for so much of the language in which that protest has beer, couched as has been felt to be offi..nsive to the feelings of the Jockey Club." It was unani mously resolved that this statement was satisfactory to the Club. Nat, who broke his collar-bone last week, at Newmarket, and was much bruised by the fall, is going cn favourably, and will shortly be able to resume his business.

CArT. MARRYAT'S LAST NEW NovEL.--The ad mirers of Capt.. Marryat's truth-telling narratives, will be happy to learn that his last production, and unquestionably one of the most powerful and original that has hitherto proceeded from his pen—" Joseph Rirshbrenk, the Poacher"—has just appeared in a cheap form, so as to come more within the means of that large class of readers by whom it is likely to be, at least, as well appreciated, as by those who, being able to enjoy litera ture as a luxury, are apt to overlook those to whom it is a recessary of their intellectual life. To these latter, the home coming narratives of Capt. Marryat—the " Jacob Faithfuls," the " Peter Simples," and this admirable recent addition to them—" Joseph Rushbrook"—are what their " daily bread" is to their bodily existence—the " staff of life." Cheapness, therefore, is more essential in the case of such works than in any others that can be named.

' •' myself 1 the performance ception of which I cannot for erne moment perms, ers ) to doubt, in an assembly of Englishmen. —(Ch. i,„*, I have to propose to you the health of 1. Majesty . the Queen, A lady who, in ascending the throne of these realms at a very early period in life has so comported herself in her high station, as to win the affections, and Pocuat? the loyalty of all classes of her subjects, whose nam e will be enthusiastically re ceived among every class in thiti country, but who has this peettllar Oahu on the assembly iiiiieli I have now the honour to addyt , ,,—a claim of gratitude for her Ma jesty's kindness in havißg l in compliance with the ex ample set to her many years ago by her illustrious and lamented father, the late Duke of Kent, under whose aus pices this Society was first instituted—(Cheers)--,in the course of the present year graciously consented 44., per= mit her name to -be entered as the Patroness of this so ciety, and accompanied that manifestation of her favortr with a donation of 1001, to the funds of the Society.— (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I beg to give . " The health of her Majesty thelQueen," and I have great pleasure in adding, the Patroness of this institution.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three, and rap turous applause. " God save the Queen," was then sung by the com pany standing. The CHAIRMAN next addressed the company as- fol lows :—Gentlemen, you have just drank the health of the Royal Lady who fills the throne of these realms with a dignity peculiarly her own.—(Cheers.) I shall now propose to you the name of another Lady, scarcely less illustrious, and also a patroness of this Society—one who has tilled a throne with dignity, and who has known how to perform, with equal grace am d equal dignity, the' task of descending from that throne into comparative privacy—(Cheers)—but which in that comparative re tirement, still reigns in the hearts of those who were once her subjects ; and whose character for pure .ind Unassuming piety, for enlightened liberal ity, and for unbounded munificence, is known o every corner of these realms, and who requires not in this, or any other assembly, that I should identify her uy name. I propose to give you the health of her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager.—(Loud cheers.) The health of her Majesty was drunk amidst the loudest applause, Glee—" Oh, by rivers." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, it is not often that those on whom the cares and responsibilities of Royalty devolve, are for tunate enough to be able to exercise in mat:ers which involve the private and domestic happiness the advan tage which their subjects possess of selecting, by their ,)wn choice, their partners for life ; and it must happen yet more seldom that that choice is found to realise the .x . pectations in which it was founded ; but it has been her Majesty's peculiar happiness, not only to make that sel ction in the exercise of her own judgment, and in onfortnity to her own affections, but to find that she has bestowed that judgment and those affections upon use every way worthy of her choice.—((;beers.) Gen tlemen, it were much to say for a young Prince, recently t stranger in this country, that he has so conducted dins& in the difficult situation in which he was placed, is to give no cause of offence to any one ; but it is with smfidence I can say, in addition of his Royal Highness ..rince Albert, that, in every society of Englishmen '. .which he has mixed—in those rare occasions—and ); a perly rare occasions—in whi.)ll he has mixed in pit:die tffittrs—one of which occasions was one most interesting .0 this City—on every occasion his Royal Highness has •onducted himself with a grace, a courtesy, and an alfa ,ility of demeanour, which have attracted the regard, , And merited the approbation, of all who have seen ' .aim. I also know that he has so conducted him self, as to v. in, day by day, more :and more the .!steem and admiration of' those who have the happi !less to approach him more nearly. lam sure you will .Irink with cordial satisfaction the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. And in the course of this year sn additional source of congratulation and thanksgiving 'ass been given by Providence to this country, in the prospects held out to us that we may look forward to a tong and unbroken line of male successors to the throne of these realms; and in that confidence, and in that hope, and in the hope that the young Prince who has been given to the wishes of the nation may in his future life verify the fond expectations formed of bins, I beg to join nis 'name, as that of the hope of the nation, with that of his Royal father and that of the Princess Royal. I now, therefore, call upon you to drink in one toast the nealths of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, anti of the Princess Royal. —(Cheers.) The toast was most enthusiastically re ceived, Song—" God bless the Queen of England." The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, in proposing to you the health of the remaining Members of the Royal Family, lam sure it will not be thought invidious—l am sure it will not be thought more than a due mark of re spect, if I peculiarly associate with the rest of the Royal Family, en an occasion like the present, the name of his Royal Ilighness the Duke of Sussex—(Loud and pro racted cheering)—a Prince, who has on all occasions distinguished himself among his royal relations by the free, liberal, and unrestrained manner iu which he has mixed with all classes of the subjects of these realms, but mire especially, while his health lasted, on every occasion when by his presence he could promote the cause of be nevolence and charity.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen. I pro pose to you the " Health of the Duke of Sussex, and of the other Members of the Royal Family."—(Cheers.) The toast was duly honoured. Song—" And cloth not a meeting like this." The CHAIRMAN then said—Gentlemen, although I have the honour of presiding on this occasion, yet here I am bound to fidlow the orders I receive from a higher authority ; and therefore I beg leave to say I ans not responsible for that which certainly appears to me a want of gallantry, in drinking, in the first instance, the healths of the male members of the Royal family, and afterwards adding the name of a lady, a member of the Royal family. But this I ans sure of, in this Society there can be but one wish to pay every mark of respect and gratitude to that Royal Lady, the mother of our Sovereign, and long the widow of the lamented Prince under whose auspices this society was first founded, who has herself been a constant contributor to the funds of this institution, and who has every claim on our gratitude and support. Gentlemen, I beg to propose to you the health of her Roy* Highness the Duchess of Kent ; and, together with her name, I am desirous of coupling the names of those ladies who have done us the honour of subscribing to this Institution.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, if I may be permitted to raise my eyes from below the tables which I am addressing, and look to another and a higher quarter of the room—when I reflect how highly we are honoured in having our objects encouraged, and our exertions animated by the presence of a number of ladies, I trust that I am not expressing a vain expectation when I announce, or hope, that from this evening we may be able to add to the number of our supporters, the ladies, whose healths I am about to propose to you, as the sub scribers to this Institution.—(Cheers.) The toast of " Her Royal Highness the Duchess ofKent and the Ladies, subscribers to the Institution," was then euthusiastieallrhonourcd.—" Glee—Who is Sylvia 7" The CHAIRMAN next proposed the toast of "The Army and Navy." He was sure that whenever the ser vices of these two gallant branches might be required, they would be found to be animated by the same gal lantry, and guided by the same di sc ipli ne w hi c h h a d dis tinguished them in former times.—(The toast was warmly - received.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, addressed the company as follows:—Gentlemen, or perhaps on this occasion, I may take the liberty of saying Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has now arrived when, in the per formance of my duties, and coming to that which is the practical business for which we are met here to-day, I am to call upon you to testify, in such a manner as may be most gratifying to your own feelings, and most calculated to carry out the objects for which we have met here t o -night—th e ti m e has arrived which I have to propose to you to drink, as well as to assist in promoting, "Prosperity to the Cityof London General Pension Society."—(Cheers.) And, Gentlemen, although I have been called upon on many occasions to address audiences on subjects of a more exciting nature, I never addressed an assembly upon a subject which feel comes home more closely to the hearts, and bosoms, and feelings of every man and of every woman in a great commercial and Christian commu nity like this.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I call upon you to come to the aid of unmerited distress—l call upon you to come to the relief of industry, suffering from unforeseen and undeserved privations—l call upon you to rescue the work of your own hands, from that decay with which it has been unhappily for some years threatened.
