For my own part, my sovereign has gra ciously conferred upon me and some of my colleagues valued rewards, but as I am a married man perhaps I might at some other period be thought worthy of a second bottle of wine. (Renewed laughter.) At all events lam proud of belonging to this company. (Cheers.) I have always re spected the companies of the city of London, for I have seen in this city, as I have seen in the country in general, how much there is of respect for ancient institutions, how much there is of a conservative spirit mingled with a desire for improvement and reform, which I have never forgotten. (Cheers.) In that course I trust you will proceed. Nations on the continent which have forgotten or neglected the duty of improvement and reform, have encountered the evils of fire, tumult, and revolution, while those which have run tu multuously and rapidly in the way of change have fared but little better. (Hear, hear.) I trust it will he the future conduct of this nation, as it has been it past conduct, to combine an attentive examination of its institutions with a determined resolution to destroy abuses wherever they exist,to reform those institutions wherever they can be use fully reformed, and further, that they will combine that determination with a equally fixed resolution to respect the great framework of our constitution; becaused I am con vinced that, imperfect as all human institutions necessarily are, never did a man frame a constitution which more com bined reverence for religion, regard for liberty, and loyalty for the throne, with the 'reservation of the rights of every individual who lives under the shelter and protection of the laws—(cheers)—l say, sir, that I am convinced that no people ever did combine the great and essential ele ments of prosperity and happiness so completely as the English pcople have done. (Cheers.) Trusting that - in regard to foreign affairs, as well as in domestic matters, the I..esent administration has not been unworthy of your ap probation, I beg to thank you for the honour you have done me.

The above-named Company is established for the purpose of acquiring the valuable business founded and organised by the late air. S, P. homes, in conjunction with his brother, the late Mr. Joseph homes, M.P., and continued and further de veloped by Messrs. eomes Brothers, the present Vendors. The undeniable success of shipowners of established re putation affords ample proof that, as an investment, shipping property, well managed, is highly profitable, and the large fortunes accumulated by the late Mr. Joseph homes, air. Thomas Ward, Mr. Duncan Dunbar, Mr. Richard Green, and others, amply confirm this statement. Theimportance of commencing this Company's operations with an established business of more than ordinary repute is felt to be considerab.e. With this object the Directors have arranged to purchase the fine fleet of modern-built ships belonging to the eminent firm of Messrs. Somes Brothers, together with their valuable and commodious Graving Docks on the Thames, known as the Canal Dockyard, Poplar, and the valuable plant of every description attached thereto. This fleet, numbering 18 vessels, comprises ships bult of wood and iron, many being upwards of 1,000 tons register, the whole of which are now in active and remunerative employ ment in the East India, China, and Australian trades. They are highly adapted for the conveyance of troops and for tran sport service, and have been E o employed by the Government when required, and they bear a high reputation in the mer cantile marine of this country. The following . detailed list gives the names, tonnage, and character of each Ship, viz.:— Name. Tonnage. Where Built. Class at Lloyd's. -- _ Ade aide ........ 640 C ,lcutta l2 A 1 Red.

The Docks are constructed to receive ships and steamers of 2,500 tons, and are provided with all the ne cessary workshops and accessories for first-class Dry Docks, so as to enable them to keep up the high character they have ever possessed ; the Company will, therefore, have at com mand the means of economically and promptly keeping their ships in efficient order ; by so doing a great saving is effected, which forms a considerable item of profit. When free from use by the Company's vessels, it is in tended that the Graving Dock shall, as hitherto, be em ployed in the repair of other vessels; and having in view the very limited Dry Dock accommodatim in the Thames, com pared with the extent of tonnage that frequents the Port of London, and the constant and pressing demand for docks of this magnitude, it is confidently anticipated that this branch of the Company's operations will continue to yield its very large revenue, while the property will be found yearly in creasing in value. The terms upon which the whole of the fleet of Vessels, Graving Docks and Plant, are to be taken by the Company are most fair and liberal, an d in perfect harmony with the high reputation of the Vendors, they having agreed to the whole being taken at a valuation, to be made by four compe tent Surveyors, two of which will be nominated by Messrs. Sonies Brothers and two by the Company, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill has been fixed at a very mode ' rate price, and which will include all the accruing freights on the ships, work in the yards, &c. . By this arrangement the Company confidently anticipate that they will be in a position to declare large dividends, so that the Directors feel that applicants, instead of applying for shares in a new undertaking, will rather be admitted as partners in one of the oldest, most lucrative, and valuable concerns in London, and which has the immense advantage of being in full operation. Messrs. Somes Brothers have both taken seats at the Board, thereby securing to the Company their great practi cal experience and influence; they have further shown their . confidence in the undertaking by subscribing £lOO,OOO of the capital. The able and active staff of officials will remain in the em ploy of the Company, so that the business will not suffer an hour's interruption by the transfer. Applications for the remaining shares must be made in the form annexed, and be accompanied by a payment of £1 per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount will be returned forth with ; if a less number be allotted than is applied for, the amount paid on application will be applied towards the payment of the Xi due on allotment, the balance (if any) being returned.

Within the grounds attached to the Royal Victoria Mili tary Hospital at Netle' the Prince of Wales laid to-day the foundation atone of a monumental cross, to be erected in memory of the medics officers of the British army who fell in the Crimean war. The memorial, which will cost about £l,OOO, has been designed by Mr T. H. Lewis, architect, of John-street, Adelphi It will be a plain monumental cross in the style of the beginning of the 13th century, 5611 in height. The lower ?art will consist of a series of arches forming an octagonal secede, supported on 16 coupled columns of Derbyshire marble the principal part of the erection being of Portland stone. Under the arcade will be placed marble tablets, explaining tie object of the memorial, and recording the names of the medical officers who fell in the Crimean war. This will be surmounted by a small arcade, also of an octagonal form, the column thence tapering up gradually to a large cross. The site chosen for the erection is close by the river front of the grounds, and nearly opposite the medical efileer's quarters. The contract for the erection of the monument has been taken by Messrs. George Myers and Son, of London, who built the hospital, and the work will be executed under the management of Major Raven hill, R.E. The hour fixed for the arrival of the Prince of Wales from Osborne was halt past 12 o'clock, at which time the Royal yacht Fairy steamed up the river, and about ten minutes afterwards the Prince landed at the pier, accom panied by his Royal Highness Prince Louis of Hesse aLd the Prince Leiniegen. He was received on landing by a large assemblage of military, naval, and medical officers, among whom were Lord William Taulet, C. 8., General commanding the South-Western District; Colonel Shad well, Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, Commander .in-Chief at Portsmouth; Colonel Richard Wibraham, C. 8., Com• mandant of the Netley Hospital; Major Philip Ravenhill, commanding Royal Engineers ; Dr e.. Anderson, Inspec tor-General of Hospitals, the head of the medical depart -1 m erit at the Netley Hospital ; Dr J. E. Gib son , Dr Grah am Balfour, F.R.S., Major Rawlins, Ca?tain J. B. Dixon, of h was composed of 100 men of th e 26 t h R eg i men t (Camero nians), under command of Majo r A r m s t rong . The ba n d played the Nationa l Anthem, and his R o y a l Highness was er Majesty's ship Irresistible, & c . Th e gu ard of honou r at once escorted up the grounds in front of the hospital to the terrace at the main entrance. A Irocession was formed, headed by Captain H awtree, captain of orderlies; and Lieutenant and Adjutant 11. Seville. They were followed A e n s th it e e ra by the sme di ca l students and th en the medical staff of the hospital, Ins) who waked in advance of the Royaluniforms, visitors and the military an d rave l au th or i t i es to th e site of the monu ment. O n reaching ;h e g round the Prince was r eceived with a Ro yal salute, and the band again immediately after which he was playedted dd the dc National to of the monument by Colonel Wilbraham. The p r oceedings th ee commence d by D r Gib son reading an address t o t h e Pr i nce, of which the conducted f o llowing is a copy : 4, May it please your Royal Ilightoss,—During the war the with Russia in 1854, 1855, and 1856, her Majesty's army lost by death 54 officers of the medical iepartment, who were serving in the campaign, and six physicians and surgeons attached for duty to, but Idol commissioned officers of, the army. The greater part of th ese gentlemen died from disease contracted in the discharge of their duties, or broke down under the enormous pressure of professional work which was entailed upon them by t h e sickly condition of the force in the winter of 1854-5. On the conclusion of the war it ap peared desirable that some tribute should be paid to the memory of those who had thus sacrificed their lives in affording professional aid to the soldiers who were gallantly fighting their country• battles, and a subscription was commenced for that purpose, which was contributed to not only by the officers of the Medical department, and also by other officers of all ranks and by many civilians. Various causes combined to delay the completion of the scheme thus laudably commenced, but at length the committee to whom was intrusted its execution, in the beginning of the present year, obtained from Mr T. Hayter Lewis, F.S.A„ a design for a monument which seemed to them well calculated to effect the object in view, and to hand down to succeeding generations the memory of those medical officers who had perished in the service of their country in that war. The committee have ventured to . solicit Your Royal Highness to inaugurate the work by laying the fou ndation-stone from a feeling that such an act on the part of y our Royal Highness will be appreciated by the officers of the Army Medical De partment, as a tribute to the memory Of their deceased comrades, and that the interest shown by your Royal Highness in thus comm emorating th e servic es o f th ose w h o have fallen at their posts in the discharge of arduous and important duties cannot fail to prove a stimulus in future to us and to our successors, zealously, fait hfully, and fear lessly to discharge those duties which may fall to be per formed in the service of our Sovereign and for the honour of our country." The Address having been handed to the Prince of Wales, his Royal Highness replied as follows :--. " It gives me great pleasure to respond to your request to inaugurate this well-deserved tribute to the memory of those medical officers who lost their lives in the performance of their onerous and important duties in her Majesty's service throughout the war in the Crimea. It is also particularly agreeable to me to assist in the foundation of your memo rial near this building, c onnected as it is with the magnifi cent hospital in the creation of which ray beloved and lamented father took so deep an interest, and in the main tenance of which the Qoeon also feels a like interest. The site chosen seems to be peculiarly appropriate, as, although the main object of the establishment of this noble hospital was for the relief of the sick and wounded of the army re ' turning from the colonies, there is connected with it a medical school for the special instruction of ,young medical officers who are to have the future care of our soldiers in all climates and in all parts of the world wherein our troops may be called upon to serve. The names of those medical officers inscribed upon the memorial will thus be insepara bly connected with our great military hospital and our army 1 1 medical school." p t i o al a li pp to end his signature to A prayer having boon ()tiered up by the Rev. evh.osMpirtaßl,aw ,the Friu ce w as temporarilyconducted i n t g o a a s table a copy of the address which was to be deposited under the foundation stone. This done, the bottle, containing copies of newspapers, the address to the Prince, written on parch ment, and a photograph of the moinunent, was sealed Up The cloth having been removed, and the usual loyal toasts having been proposed and responded to, The Patrisla Waal= next gave the toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers," which vas received with loud cheers. They were honoured to-day by the presence of the noble viscount the head of the Government. (Hear, hear.) The name of Viscount Palmerston was more than a household word among them—(cheers)—and he was not using the language of flattery, but simply expressing what he knew to be the national feeling, when he said that rarely in the annals of our country did any Minister of the British Crown possess a popularity surpassing that enjoyed by the noble lord, (Cheers.) He was sure they would all concur with him that it was a most providential circumstance that they should, at such a critical period as the present, have such a man at the head of the Government as the noble lord, and their prayer was that he might long be spared to his sovereign and his coun try. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON replied in these words :—Mr Prime Warden, my lords, and gentlemen,—For myself and col leagues I beg you will receive our heartfelt thanks for the kind terms in which you, Mr Prime Warden, have been pleased to propose the toast, and you, gentlemen, for the very handsome and obliging manner in which you have been pleased to accept it. I need not, lam sure, say it must be a great satisfaction, and I may say, a most con soling reflection to a Government which has to go through arduous labours and encounter great anxieties, to find that their conduct has, when fully explained, met with the sanction and approval of their fellow countrymen. And permit me to say, speaking I do here—not as a stranger invited to your board, but, in conjunction with many of my colleagues, classing ourselves as members of this most ancient and distinguished corporation—allow me to say that, knowing as we do the liberal sentiments which have always animated this society, as well as that liberal conduct which has always guided their action, we attach particular value to the approval and good will of the corporation in whose hall we are now assembled. Perhaps, Mr Prime Warden and gentlemen, as we have had several months of serious political discussion, you may suppose that we should not be anxious upon this, the first week of our holi days, to proceed in that laborious, and beaten, and hard trodden track in which we have been plodding ever since the month of February. I will not follow the Prime Warden through European affairs, but will only assure you that, in guiding this country through difficulties of the greatest magnitude, we have been influenced by the com bined consideration, on the one hand, to maintain the honour and the dignity, and to defend the interests of the country ; and, on the other had, not precipitately, or with out due and great and overpowering cause, to involve this country in the calamities of war. (Cheers.) We trust we have succeeded in maintaining the position of England among the nations of the world, while at the same time we have secured to the people of this country the blessings and the advantages of peace. I have said that this is a most ancient corporation. I believe it is one of the most ancient, and its functions, I may say, are particularly connected with the position of the country to which it belongs, be cause in an island country it is natural that one of the first functions of an efficient civic corporation should be to regu late the immigration of the vast multitude of the inhabi tants of the ocean that come in contact with the population. (Hear, and laughter.) That duty has been from time to time most worthily performed by this corporation; and I am told that to this day the inhabitants of this great metropolis are weekly and daily indebted to the guardian care of this corporation ; for that there are multitudes of immigrants that come here from the depths of the ocean unfitted to mix with the population of this island, and being unable to obtain the necessary passport, aro refused an entrance through the vigilance of this ancient corpora• tion. (Laughter.) lam sure then, gentlemen, you will consider that there is no society more deserving of the respect, the gratitude, and the attachment of the country, than the association to which I flatter myself I have the honour to belong. (Cheers.) The next toast given by the PRIME WARDEN was " The House of Lords," which he said was a body they must all venerate, holding as it did so important a part in our glo rious constitution. It was not so easily acted upon by the people as the House of Commons ; therefore was more calm and deliberative. It looked at questions unswayed by pas sion, and hence, though often it might appear to resist the national will by rejecting some measure which was popular for a time, yet in effect it did not do that, it only said, " Wait a little, the country is more or less divided on the question, therefore review its decision ;" and thus time and thought were gained for a reconsideration; and if that re consideratton resulted in a national sentiment in favour of the measure, it was rarely the House of Lords withheld their sanction from it. Earl RUSSELL, on rising, was received with cheers. He said—Mr Prime Warden and gentlemen, I am thankful to you for the honour you have done me in drinking my health, coupled with the House of Lords, and seeing that I have already had the honour of being associated in your toast with my noble friend at the head of the Government as a member of his Administration, a fact which I cannot too often regard as matter of pride and gratification. I must say that I feel myself doubly indebted to you for your kind. ness. Sir, you haie recalled to my mind times which have long passed, and you have coupled this theme with some very just reflections on the character and general conduct of the House of Lords. It is quite true that the House of Lords have sometimes thought that the opinion of the people was an opinion rather hastily taken up, and that it was not founded upon a due consideration of the various parts of the constitution which it was desirable to preserve, and that further time ought to be given for reflection. But you have always seen, as the Prime Warden has so justly remarked, that if the House of Lords ascertained that the people, upon further consideration, thought that the measure was useful to the country, and would not bo injurious to the happy constitution under which we live, that house has never interposed its own special power as a veto to the well considered decision of the people at large. (near, hear.) That was the case with respect to the Reform Bill, and I particularly refer to the Reform Bill, because it was in the year when that measure was brought forward—in 1831— now 33 years ago, that I first had the honour of being made an honorary member of this ancient corporation. In framing and in bringing forward that measure under the uspices of Lord Grey, we were careful to frame a measure by w hi c h all parts of the constitution should be preserved. S uc h was the declaration which Lord Grey made in the speech from the throne at the time, and such you have found by expe. rience the measure to be. (Cheers.) Many of those who in 1831 considered that the Reform Bill was a measure which would deprive the sovereign of his crown, which would deprive the House of Lords of their privileges, and reduce all the forms of government to a general state of anarchy and ruin, have lived to see their error, and I am happy t o find that 33 years afterwards every one admits that we are as fully in the enjoyment of the benefits of the constitution, that there is as much loyalty to the sovereign, that there is as much, if not greater, respect for the House of Lords as a part of the legislature of the country as has over axisted at any period of its previous history. (Cheers.) This being the case, let us be permitted to hope that 33 years hence, when the discussions which have been so well and so ably conducted during the present year shall have partly passed into oblivion, that those who live at that time will acknowledge that the ministry of 1864 did Rot ill consult the honour of their country, in the course which they pur sued during that year, entangled as their path was with many difficulties ; but that, objected to as their course was at that time, future times will confirm and sanction acts which our imperpect vision, coupled with a patriotic with to servo our country, had led us to adopt. (Cheers.) If that should be the case, and if the measures which have been alluded to, namely the repeal of the Test and Corpora tion Acts, the measures in favour of liberty, the measure of Parliamentary reform, the measure of free trade, have been found not merely to succeed, but to increase the prosperity and enlarge the freedom of the country, let me, by your indulgence, venture to anticipate that what we have now done, but which has not yet had the sanction of time, may hereafter possess it, and then perhaps it will be acknowledged that we who have been the ministers of this day were not altogether unworthy of those rewards which the Prime Warden has given this • evening to those who have striven well, and that a coat and badge might in some respects be deserved 1)y us, (Cheers The British Aminological Institute, WAIMIM, Monday. The congress assembled again to-day at the Court-house here, under the presidency of Lord Neaves, for the reading of the following papers : "On the Early Mints of Warwick," by E. Hawkins, Esq. ; a paper of little general interest. "On Recent Discoveries at St. Alban's," by Mr S. Sharpe. Mr Sharpe, in his paper, said he was led to this inquiry by coming upon the Beech Bottom, in the neigh bourhood of St. Alban's, a very remarkable ditch about a mile long, which might be compared to a deep railway cut ting, the depth varying from 20 to 30 feet. The banks are covered with wood, and it is so obviously an ancient mili tary work that he (Mr Sharpe) was led to search for traces of its continuation, and he came to the conclusion that the fortification was about 24 miles long by l miles broad, em bracing the town of St. Alban's. Ca33ar describes the city of Cassivelaunus in the sth Book of the Gallic War as being fortified by woods and marshes, and then holding a large number of men and cattle who had come together there as a place of safety; and he says that when the Britons had fortified with bank and ditch woods which were nearly im • passable, so that they might take refuge there from the in cursions of their enemies, they called the place a town. Ca3sar did not give any name to the town, but it was pro bably called Verulam, the name given by the Romans to their fortified camp in the neighbourhood. The name of the tribe, the Cassii, and of their leader, Cassivelaunus, may yet be traced in Cassiobury, the name of the hundred in which St. Alban's stands. The British fortified area was about twelve times the size of the well-walled Roman camp on the other side of the ruin; a good deal of it has been filled up, and the space reclaimed by agricultural operations; but sufficient remained of signs of art to trace it on the map. The whole town of St. Alban's, a common, and several farms are enclosed in it. In conclusion, Mr Sharpe recorded his opinion that if the boundaries of the town of Cassivelaunus was cor rectly traced there was no work of art in the British isles that could boast of greater antiquity than the ditch called the Beech Bottom. It was the only fortification that could be shown to have been made before Caesar landed on our shores. "On the Black Book of Warwick," by G. Robinson, Esq. The interest in this paper was a good deal local. It recorded Warwickshire events as far back as the reign of William and Mary, and among the entries is a record of the visit of Queen Elizabeth to Kenilworth Castle, on which occasion her 'Majesty is represented as having " laid at Kenilworth days" (the blank is not filled up in the record) her household lying at Warwick at the same time. " Oa the Portraits, Bust, and Cast of Shakespere," by Mr Craig. This was a paper taking a phrenological view of the bust and portraits of Shakspere. The writer cbirfly extended his notice to the bust on the monument in Strat ford Church, the Chandos portrait, the Jansen portrait, and the cast said to be from the face and forehead of Shaks - pore, taken after death. Mr Craig doubted the statement, believing the cast had been taken during the poet's life. Although the Chandos portrait was the most attractive, he did not think it could be relied on as a genuine portrait of the bard. Of the Jansen portrait, he said that Jansen lived in England a few years before the death of Shakspere ; that he painted portraits for Lord Southampton and others dur ing the last five or six years of the poet's life, and he con sidered that his picture had the best claim to the considera tion of the students of Shakspere as a veritable semblance of his outward form. One of the most interesting papers read during the sitting of the congress was, perhaps, that of Dr. Hook, Dean of Chichester, " On the Life and Times of John De ,Stratford." The very reverend compiler of this paper observed that Stratford-on-Avon was, towards the close of the thirteenth century the birth-place of two brothers, both of whom were bishops, one of whom was Archbishop of Canterbury, and both of them High Chancellors of England. The parents of Archbishop John De Stratford were Robert and Isabel, who were nearly related to another Stratford celebrity, Ralph Halton De Stratford, Bishop of London. John became Fellow of Mer. ton College, Oxford ; in 1314 he was Archdeacon of Lincoln and shortly after a canon of York. In 1320 he became Judge of the Court of Arches, Between 1321 and 1323 he was engaged in frequent embassies to the Papal Court of Avignon, In 1323 the Bishop of Winchester died suddenly at Avignon, and the death of a prelate us curia whilst in attendance at the Papal Court gave the Pope the right o nominating his successor. The Archbishop of Canterbury solicited the appointment of John De Stratford, and the King, Edward 11., was as urgent for the appointment of Robert de Baldock, a creature of the Spencers. The Pope nominated John De Stratford, which excited the indigna- tion of the King, and John Ds Stratford was accordingly subjected to bitter persecution. He was recalled from the embassy and deprived of his bishopric, and the vengeance of the whole faction was directed against him. At last, how ever, a reconciliation was effected, and on the 28th of June, 1324, the temporalities of the see were restored to him, but for the recognition of his authority he was sentenced to pay a fine of £lO,OOO to the King—a payment which, however, was not enforced. The state of the King came under the consideration of Parliament, and it being decided that the King should cease to reign s to John De Stratford was as • signed the delicate and difficult task of drawing up the rea sons to be constitution.ny —•-•...r0d0 extreme. Atter a touching sketch of the manner in which the King received the announcement, and a graphic account of the formalities observed when the official decision was made known by the commission, when Edward, after swooning away, with tears coursing down his cheeks, acknowledged ho had governed badly, and agreed to abdicate, the very rev. dean proceeded to say that John De Stratford was ap pointed one of the 12 regents of the young king. This arrangement, he observed, was not likely to be satisfactory to Queen Isabella and Mortimer, and therefore the destruc tion of John De Stratford was determined upon. The first step taken by his enemies was to call on him to pay the £lO,OOO which he had incurred for the King's recognition of his appointment to the bishopric of Winchester. He accordingly took refuge in various places, but found means of communicating with the young King, and on the 28th of November, 1330, he was restored to honour, and received the Great Seal of the kingdom, and was released from per secution. The King and John Da Stratford then went over to France, and visited the various shrines to which they had vowed pilgrimages during the struggle with Mor timer. John Da Stratford retained the office of Chancellor four years, and as Edward described it in the " Sibellas Jamosas"—" He was to the King as a father, and was, next to him, the admired of all men." He was, therefore, justly entitled to bo ranked with the greatest statesmen this country had produced. On the death of At chbishop Leatham ho was translated to the see of Canterbury, and afterwards resigned the Great Seal. In January, 1335, however, ho was again appointed Chancellor, and in 1339 he again re signed the office. Again, on 30th April, 1340, he was re appointed, only, however, to resign the office in the following June. Although no breach had arisen between him and the King a new set of councillors had risen up around Edward, and John Do Stratford was not listened to with the defer ence once paid to him, The very rev. dean then gave a lengthy account of the conflict between the archbishop and his enemies—of his determination to attend parliament when summoned, without answering to any other tribunal than one composed of h is p eers, and of the attem p t b y armed force to prevent him gaining access to the Hoare of Parliament unti l he had first answered to the char g es ebffroeuctghtthaatgabiensbad con against himinnsethlleedCtole u i rt of Exchequer, to the Kin; to enter upon war, and after pledg in g his credit fur the money borrowed of the merchants of Flanders, had neglected and refused to fulfil his bond, and that in consequence of his neglect in supplying the King with money the war had been pro tracted. To these John De Stratford published a complete tional clergy and upwards of 30 aiddaittitohneayr had reason agents. He thought that that was as much Emcees' s as they could have anticipated, and th reason to thank God and take courag e for that amount of success which had attended their efforts. It would be remembered that at the first meeting which was held at London House there was S o me hesitation as to the amount of money which should , be asked for. They thought to ask for £lOO,OOO i ten years, but providentially that was overruled. He feared that if they had made that fatal mistake people would hare been satisfied with that, and would have given nothing more. It was, however, suggested at that meeting that £lOO,OOO would be asked for each of the ten years, amounting to a million for the whole period. Now, in little more than the first year £75,000 had been actually paid to the fund out of the £lOO,OOO asked for, leaving a deficiency of £25,000. It was, of course, imros. sible for him to say whether their friends would be more generous and charitable next year and in future y va e r a i r o s u . s p T a hy had rp e osesup r o ade x3l, g 9 r 6 a o a , t a s n o d f pi t h ca eyh ta a l m d s p u led s for ged themselves to three societies for lay agents—clergy and Scripture readers—to the extent of £5,000 for ten years, makilig £50,000. They had given guam. rantees also for lay agents for this year, in addition., of £8,320, which they hoped to continue in future years. In the other case they had given a pledge to continue them. If the latter cums wer e ma_ tinued for the ten years they would amount to £83,200. These sums added together would slit iw them the nature of the work they had to do ; but looking to the probability that in future years they would receive a great deal more than they had yet received, they had no reason to be afraid that what they had done would lead to any evil results. The balance sheet then stood as follows .—Received and promised, £151,000, of which £75,000 had been, actually paid ; £31,960 had been given in capit4l sums for sites of various kinds and for missionary chapels and churches ; £50,000 actually promised, and grants of £8,320, which, if renewed for tcn years, would make £83,200. He thought that sta te of things could not be looked upon as discouraging, although it was a state of things which obvioubly called for great exertions from all friends of the cause. Mr T. BODLEY, the secretary, read the report, which entered into details on the points raised in the bishop's speech. The EAri of HARROWBY, in moving the adoptir o n of the report, said he thought the observations , of the bishop on the present condition of things , 0? as the truest possible representation of their sum ; Bs. They ought not to bo puffed up, and they certai ❑ly ought not to be discouraged. Thu had not reached the tenth part of what they required, at Roast n of to be operated upon, but, considering the great, diffi culty there was in putting in motion so large a me. chine, it was nit so much amiss that they had made a fresh demand successfully to that extent. He could, not but hope that, when they had been a litt'Ae longer under weigh, their work would speak mare eloquently to the hearts of the people than any papers or statistics. He was much inclined to hope that they would progressively get into new strata of society, for there were ample resources if they could but reach them. He placed much reliance upon the system of the offertory, which at one time had a bad sound, but which had now lost its party character. He thought they should have local come mittees and constant appeals to the congregations of the church. By these two means he trusted they would be able to reach all classes of society. Earl GROSVENOR, M.P., in seconding the motion, said that there was something very satisfactory in he working of local committees. He might men• tion as an instance in the local committee of his own, district that a bailder residing at Brompton had at once offered a site for a church. The motion was unanimously adopted. Some discussion on the rules for the future guidance of the committee, in which Lord Sandon, Prebendary Burgess, Sir T. W. Waller, and other gentlemen took part having finished, Mr. F. S. POWELL, M.P„ moved a vote of thanks to the bishop, to whom he said the diocese and the Church generally ought to be deeply grateful. Sir E. PEARSON seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. The Bishop of LONDON briefly acknowledged the compliment, repeating his thanks to the gentlemen who bad so energetically acted on the committee. The board then proceeded to make grants in aid of the most spiritually destitute districts in the metropolitan diocese. Charing-cross Redivivus. The Old Cross at Charing (Mere .Seine) being in course of re-erection, under the superintendence of E. M. Barry, Esq., A.R.A., the following short notice of the original structure may not be out of place : Charing Cross was one of twelve crosses erected by Ed ward I. at each station at which the remains of his beloved Queen kEleano: rested in the course of the transit from Hardley, near Lincoln, where she died on the 28th Nevem ylYl aboutastthere Richard ber, 1290, to the Abbey of Westminster, where she Wag buried. The body reached London on the lith December, and was entombed on the 17th. The cross subsequently erected on the last spot on which the body rested before burial was by far the most sumptu ous wefi o n f d th p e ar c t r i o cu ss l e a s rs e o r f ee th te e d co i o n ts It was begun almost immediately after her interment ; f or his brother.

It is not known who supplied the design of de ' C ril run e b d ui al l e d , ii ‘" g C:M t e h n the cross, the Crundales being merely its builders. It is, however, on record that Ralph de Chichester supplied the ti v irg. capit. et maul.," and " Alexander le Intaginator" received five marks in part payment of statues which were intended to ba placed in the niches round the close (Archoeologia xxix.. 184-5). The stone of the structure was brought from Caen, and the i c r o u s s s , , 7 the marble from Cod.
