Two Estates have been purchased for this society during the past Year—that at Wood-green (chiefly allotted) has been very satisfac tory and profitable, both to the allottees and the Society at large. The other Estate (not yet allotted) promises to be a more successful purchase than the that, there being a great demand for plots upon it. It is situated in Wimbledon-park, in the midst of gentlemen's seats, and is adapted for first-class villas. There are two special advantages in this Society, viz., members are not required to pay d• , WII any part of the price of the land prior to choosing plots. The full amount of the shares drawn in the ballot is advanced t also that more share . are not drawn in the ballot than can be supplied with land, so that the members may have the advan tage of selling their drawn shares at a premium.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modem pathologists. Its perusa is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of pe rsonal manageme nt which cannot be violated without eerrin g grievous penalties, and when wisdom and re g ret succeed the heyday o f , inconsid e r a te self-indulgence, how these p enalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equenc es maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scareely any dexree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of Years been engaged in an exte nsive practice in *he treatm ent of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care o f i gnoran t empirics, who inflict great inj ury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

This is principally the re sult of our commercial greatness and the justice c.f our public tran sactions. The long-tried, universally-known, and everywhere-ap proved business of E. MOSES and SON is the precedent of all modern improvements, and has inspired a gr. ater amount of public confidence than any other plans of trade. That confidence will be fully sustained by their Present Stock of SpriNg and Summer Attire, which, as it combines every novelty in materials and designs, and is the most seasonable Dress for Juveniles and adults of all classes, is charged such economical prices that each individual's share in the cost of war will be fully refunded by their purchases or orders at fs E o. . rdN M -is o nt s r z eee s : T e id or S o o e ns t E n st er ab t- l e is t h re m et ent, or their West-end Branch, Ox ford-street, of success has propelled the energies of E.

THE WAR. stationed until such time as transports can be provided for conveying the regiment to the seat of war. The 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, now lying in Dublin, are under orders for immediate embarkation. This regiment was paraded on Tuesday morning on the esplanade in front of the Royal Barracks, under com mand of its colonel in charge, Lieutenant-Colonel Swiney, and was inspected by Major-General Cochrane, who expressed high satisfaction at the fine condition of the men, and at the well-disciplined state of the regi ment generally. On Monday the 27th Enniskillens, at present in Dub lin, received final orders to prepare for immediate ser vice in India. For months past this regiment has ex pected to form part of the contingent to Turkey, the corps being among the earliest included in the list of those destined to take part in the war. The sth Dragoon Guards, stationed at Ballincolig, under orders to proceed to the seat of war, expect to leave daily for their destination. It is reported that the monster steamer Himalaya, as soon as her repairs are made good, will arrive in Cork harbour and convey the men and horses direct from this port to Constantinople. A large quantity of the hay which has been ordered for the use of the cavalry departing from England to the seat of war has been contracted for in Devonshire. For the purpose of executing the contract extensive premises have been engaged at Exeter, where presses of great power are erected. Each press works two bales at a time, the two containing about one seam of hay. The pile of bundles, originally measuring about eight feet in height, are thus reduced to two feet ; the sides are then pared, and the bale is secured by four cords, when the pressure is taken off, and the process is complete. About five tons are daily sent off by the South Devon Railway to the victualling-office, Plymouth, where they undergo a rigid inspection before they are taken into store. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Waterwitch, 8 guns, sloop, Commander A. H. Gardner (June 28, 1851), arrived at Sheerness yesterday at 8.30 a.m. from the West Coast of Africa, last from the Downs, waiting Admiralty orders. The Waterwitch left Sierra Leone on the 30th of March last, and has recently experienced very bad weather during the north-east gales. The man who murdered Mr. Carr, second master of the Myrmidon, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander William K. Jolliffe, has been given up by the islanders of Kanna, and handed over to the Portuguese Governor of Bissao. The Governor of Sierra Leone has gone down in the Myrmidon to take charge of him, and he will be taken back to Sierra Leone and there tried for the murder. There can be no doubt of his being the person who committed the murder, as confirmatory evidence was given by the islanders of Kanna to the Portuguese Governor of Bissao on his being delivered up. It is, however, expected that he will be formally tried at Sierra Leone for the murder, and executed at Kanna, as a warning to the islanders there. All was quiet on the coast at the time the Waterwitch left. The French war steam-vessel Sesos tris arrived at Sierra Leone on the day the Waterwitch sailed. The Sesostris was on her passage to the South coast. Slave vessels were rarely to be seen, and the only slavers that were seen were sailing under American colours, but whether American vessels or not was in some cases doubtful. The Waterwitch has been out two years and ten months, during which time the officers and ship's company have been very healthy ; there has not been a single death of any one of her crew, and her daily sick list has only averaged three per cent. of her entire complement. She has been actively em ployed on the coast nine months out of twelve. At 1.30 p.m. yesterday Vice-Admiral of the Red the Hon. Joceline Percy, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, accompanied by Captain Lord Ikederick Kerr, of the Waterloo, 120 guns, as flag captain, visited and in spected her. The crew went to general quarters, and fired. They were then put through the great gun, musket, and cutlass exercise, manning and arming ship, fire bell, making sail and shifting topsails, all of which was done in first-rate, seamanlike style. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Joceline Percy passed a very high compliment upon the officers and men, as to their perfect efficiency throughout his inspection. On the gallant Admiral leaving, the entire crew were passed on deck, and were addressed by their esteemed commander, and informed that, in consequence of the war with Russia, their ser vices would be still required, and that they would in a few days be draughted to serve in other ships. The only whisper that was passed was, " We have been to gether for some time ; all we wish is to be sent all on board of one ship, and still be shipmates. We know our men ; send us to any place the service may require, but do not break up our little mess. We have been taught our duty here as sailors, and we are ready to do it in the Baltic, Black Sea, or anywhere we are sent." Their commander informed them that as long as they remained in harbour at Sheerness three-fourths of the entire ship's company would be allowed leave daily, leaving one-fourth to carry on the ship's duty. The tars doffed their castors, and giving a cheerful bow to the quarterdeck, left to make immediate arrangements for going on shore. The Longboat, sailing tender to the Formidable, has returned to Sheerness, from Dover, with volunteers for the navy ; they are all fishermen, and, in several instances, masters of fore and aft fishing-vessels. Lieutenant Marcus E. Smithett, of the Tribune, re turned to Sheerness on Tuesday with his prize crew, who brought home the Russian ship Fenix. The mas ter, mate, and one man, who we re on board, have been set at liberty from the receiving-ship Crocodile, Com mander William Greet, off the Tower. The ten Rus sian Finland seamen who were taken out of the last prize the Tribune took off Scarborough, left Sheerness on Tuesday in the steam-vessel Myrtle, under charge of Master-Commander William S. Bourchier, for the Cro codile. On their being mus tered on board the Tribune the oldest of them, a fine fellow, stepped forward, and, in the name of himself and shipmates, prisoners, most gratefully thanked the offi c ers of the Tribune for the kindness shown towards them while on board that ship. They went fore and aft among the ship's company and bade them farewell, and wished them every success in the Tribune. In return the officer in command, First- Lieutenant William Thorp, expressed his entire satisfac tion at their conduct during the time they had been on board that ship as prisoners. The Tribune is refitting running gear, &c., and being partially caulked on her upper and main decks, and will shortly be ready to pro ceed to sea again. The Formidable, 84 guns, Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvill, was yesterday put out of the fitting basin at Sheerness, and moored at the basin buoy, in consequence of its being found necessary to clear out the mud frcm the bottom of the basin. A contract has been entered into with Mr. Josiah Hall to get out and carry away 10,000 tons of mud from the basin. The Fox, 42, Captain Tarleton, C. 8., returned to Spithead yesterday moping from the Downs, to be paid off. The Scourge, 6, paifilewheel frigate, Commodore Adams, fitting for the Coast of Africa station, had her steam up yesterday to prove her boilers and machinery, and they answered perfectly satisfactorily. The Colossus, 80, under process of conversion to a screw ship at Portsmouth, has had an additional party of workmen put upon her to expedite her for service. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Omnianney, left Spithead yesterday morning for the North Sea. The Brisk will follow her in a day or two. On Thursday the revenue cruiser Eliza, Captain O'Mal ley, stationed at Cork, put to sea to watch Russian ves sels that might put into the Channel. On Saturday she fell in with a fine Russian hark of 580 tons, called the Argo, commanded by Captain Steinman, which she ran alongside and declared a war prize. She came into Queenstown on Saturday evening with the British en sign flying above the Russian flag. On Monday she was taken in charge by Collector Cassell, the Deputy-Mar shal of England, and her papers were handed over to Mr. John Besnard, J.P., prize commissioner, and Mr. John Bennett, prize actuary. It appears that the vessel belongs to Abo, on the coast of Finland ; that her master and crew are Finlanders ; that she sailed from Matanzas on the Ist of April, with a cargo of molasses, consignedlto the firm of John Kirkland and Sons, Liver pool, and that she was to call at Queenstown for orders. The Mayor, Mr. J. Besnard, and Mr. Bennett, will hold a court and take evidence in answer to queries fur nished by the Government, and all the documents will be forwarded to London, where the decision will be made as to whether the vessel and cargo are to be dealt with as a prize. The crew for the present remains in custody on board the barque. The hospital-ship Belleisle, 24, Commander Hoskin, lying at Plymouth, received 12 seamen on Tuesday from the guard ship Impregnable, 104, Captain A. Lowe, and 32 from the Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcombe. Her officers and crew were paid wages on the same day, and she will probably sail at once for the e xpedite e ing of the Exmouth, 90, in No. 4 slip a t Plymouth. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane , Byester day struck his flag on board the Victory at Portsmouth, and went on leave. Contracts for the supply of 2,000 qu arters of wheat were taken at the Royal Victualling-yard, Plymouth, yesterday. Messrs. Hurrell and C rossing ar Mr. James Horswell 400 quarters, all at 78 s. per quarter. The transport Herkaway, with horse artillery from Portsmouth, for the Mediterranean , having had defects made good, was towed into the Channel on Tuesday, and proceeded ; wind, west. The Culloden (No. 35), transport, embarked another detachment of the 13th Light Dragoons at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday morning, consisting of Major Gore, Ensigns M•Lean and Pursell, and about 50 men and horses, for Turkey ' • also Veterinary-Surgeon Jix and Dr. Maclean, of the 42d. The Calliope (No. 43) has also arrived at Portsmouth to embark further detachments of the 13th to-morrow. Four sailing vessels of large tonnage, chartered for the conveyance of troops, have been visited by the Go vernment officers, and reported as ready for their des tined service. These vessels are expected to arrive at Kingston harbour at Liverpool. The depot of the first battalion, First Royals, consist ing of 7 officers and 257 rank and file, left Plymouth Citadel on Wednesday, and proceeded at 6.55 a.m. by the South Devon and Great Western Raily to Durston, whence they march to Dorchester, where they take the rail for their new station, Winchester. The first division of the 34tgiment arri ve d a t Sheffield, under the Re Portsmouth garrison yesterday from command of Major Goodenough. The second division of the 11th Hussars assembled in complete service order on Tuesday morniag on the parade ground, Portobello Barracks, Dublin, and, having been carefully inspected by Major-General Cochrane,and Major Douglas, were formed into a cavalcade, headed by the bands of the Royal Horse Artillery, the 3d Dragoon Guards, and the 16th Lancers. On issuing from the barracks the troops were loudly cheered by their comrades and by a large crowd of persons who had assembled to witness their departure. They proceeded at a walking pace, followed by the s igh t-loving multitude, for a considerable distance out of the city, the interest of the occasion being augmented by the presence of the three bands, which accompanied the division as far as Ball's-bridge, and would perhaps have gone further, if they had not been deterred by the unsettled appearance of the weather. The troop reached Kingstown about ten o'clock, and the business of embarkation commenced shortly afterwards, and was conducted in the same man- 1 ner as on the preceding day, a largo crowd, including a number of fashionables, having attended to witness the operation. The vessel in which they embarked was the Asia, a merchant ship of 800 tons burden, (Capt. New land, master,) the interior of which has been fitted with every convenience and requisite calculated to promote the health and comfort of the men and their horses. The division consisted of 49 men and 50 horses, and the offi cers who go out with it to the seat of war are Capt. Cook and Lieut. Haughton. The 3d division of this fine corps was to embark yesterday (Wednesday) morning. It is expected that as soon as the whole of the 11th shall have been embarked the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards will march from Newbridge kr , ,Dublin, where they are to be 001NSTANTINOPLE and the WAR at the 'kJ EGYP TIAN Id ALL.—" Had it not been for the cold, I sould have believed that I saw the D iorama at the Egyptian Hal, h with the restless tide of London street life surging around me."—The Eastern Correspondent of the Daily News.

The speech of Mr. Gladstone on Monday night threw much light on many things, but probably on none more than on the relations between the Government and the Bank of England. This subject is gradually creeping into importance, and assuming dimensions second to none of those with which the present preoccupation of the public mind allows us to deal. The principle in volved is that of the propriety of transacting the busi ness of Government through the medium of a joint-stock company, in preference to the agency of a publio de partment, and much may, undoubtedly, be said for and against this proposition. On the one hand, a joint-stock company has facilities for obtaining the best information and the best assistance, together with a permanency and a lively interest in the success of its undertakings which are wanting to a public department. But a public de partment is a far cheaper, more flexible, and efficient machine, and, if it be unstimulated by the hope of in dividual profit, it is not so likely to be deluded and led astray by personal interest. Opinion certainly during the last few years seems to have been running more and more counter to the retention of the joint-stock principle among the approved and recognised agencies of Govern ment. The failure of the railways, not only in managing their own affairs with tolerable prudence, but in per forming the public duties with which they are intrusted, has not been without its effect on the minds of thinking - - - men, and has tended to discredit the agency which has bequeathed to us such unsatisfactory results. The discus sions also illustrating the expense, delay, and divided responsibility that result from governing India through a company, have created the germs of a public opinion unfavourable to the permanence of such a machinery. Under all these circumstances, Mr. Gladstone's disqui sition on the relations of Government and the Bank of England is a very seasonable contribution towards an inquiry of daily increasing interest and importance. The very compliments of the Chancellor of the Exche quer to the Chairman and Deputy-chairman of the Bank are suggestive and significant. " Ile casts no imputa tion on the Bank. Harmony and co-operation ought always to exist between the Bank and the Govern ment. On the one hand, the Governor and Deputy- Governor of the Bank act as the guardians of the separate interest of that establishment, and, on the other hand, the Chancellor of the Exchequer acts as the guardian of the peculiar interests of the public ; one maintains what he thinks right on behalf of the bank, and the other on behalf of the public." No doubt these statements are perfectly true, but are they consistent? Granting that it is expedient that the Government should act in perfect harmony with the Bank—that is, with the agency it employs to pay and receive money on its account—is that end most likely to be secured by employing an agency which has an interest pointedly and obviously opposed to the interests of the Government ? And would not this harmony appear more likely to be obtained by absorbing these functions into the Government itself, by making Government, in fact, its own banker, and, instead of the not very intelligible plan of securing harmony by creating a diversity of in terest, rendering that harmony absolutely certain by their identity ? If our money affairs are to be always managed by conflicting bodies harmony is impossible, and it is vain to say it is desirable while we neglect the obvious means of its attainment. The truth is, by creat ing and pampering with so large a sum of public money a body like the Bank of England to do that for us which we could do so much better for ourselves, we neither in sure harmony nor discord; but this we do insure- -that, whether the Bank agrees or disagrees with the Chancel lor of the Exchequer, the public must suffer. Their interests are opposed in the characters of borrower and lender, depositor and depositary, and, if they agree, that agreement is purchased at the public expense by keeping a deposit unnecessarily large, and by paying interest to the Bank for lending us our own money. If, on the other hand, the Chancellor of the Exchequer be not disposed to carry on business in the manner most advantageous to the Bank, and therefore least advan tageous to the public, discord ensues, and by that dis cord the credit and resources of the Government very materially suffer. It is in the power of the Bank— a power derived from its intimate association with the Government—indirectly to countermine a Chancellor of the Exchequer, to discredit his projects, to lower his authority, and to bring to bear numberless secret but effective influences against him. Thus certain evil seems to result from intrusting the monetary affairs of the public to a separate corporation, whether the rela tions of that corporation to the Chancellor of the Exche quer be those of harmony purchased with the public money, or discord fomented to the public injury. One advantage of a public department would be that it would require no conciliation, that it would merely be an instrument, instead of an antagonist, and would, at any rate, introduce no anarchy into our councils. It is quite right that our Finance Minister should have the benefit of hearing the opinions of men who differ from him as to the best means of securing the public interest; but it seems hard and unreasonable to embarrass an o vertasked minister in cont ro v e r s i es w ith p erson s who thinking regardin g o f and the advocating—aspubl i c interest exclusively b not ntar p e rofess t do nt even be it is admitted they are bound exclusively to regard and advocate—the interest of their own shareholders. p T p n h s e i t ß i n a n n kn f i h n a t r e t r e e r s Act a n? t f i l tn B a 4 t 4 e s y e e t m n s a l bring n l n thi o s as the Bank of England could create money ad libitum, subject to no other condition than the payment of gold for paper on demand, matters were likely to go on more smoothly ; but, now that this convenient source of sup ply is checked, the smallest and most reasonable de mands by the Government on the Bank are bitterly re se M N l. V . ho Gla th dst at nn is awarenn could of the e Gladstone d very "head and front of hi s offending" is, that at the commence ment of a war, and after th e com p u l sor y re demption of many millions of debt, he borrowed from the Bank, after long notice, a sum which never exceeded 1,350,000/., that he was a debtor to the Bank for only six weeks, and that his average liabilities during that short period were only 900,000/. ? No one, we think, after reading his statement, can doubt that the objections made by the Bank were not urged in the interest of the public, and that, the time has arrived for reconsidering an arrangement which so stranzely calls upon one department of Govern men to justify itself before Parliament and the nation against the attacks of another. We have said nothing here of the enormous cost of the Bank of England to the public—of the absurdity of borrowing our own money, or of alienating from the Crown one of the most lucra tive and indispensable of its prerogatives. We have simply confined ourselves to exposing the anarchy, con fusion, and detriment to the public service which must necessarily flow from divided and inconsistent interests; and we think that it clearly results that the millions which we place at the disposal of the Bank of England are employed not in the purchase of a benefit but of a loss—not to strengthen our credit, but to weaken it— not to increase our facility in making payments in anti• ciPation of rowans, but to diminish it,72lmre. r , -r-/ / [PRICE SD. THE SONS OF THE CLERGY. The bicentenary festival of the sous of the clergy was held yesterday, in the Metropolitan Cathedral. The first festi val was held in St. Paul's Cathedral in 1665, when certain zea'ous members of the Church, moved with compassion for the helplessness and privations of the clergy, suffering under the calamities of those times, formed themselves into an association to alleviate their distresses. This private association was followed by the establishment of a public body, incorporated by royal charter from Charles 11., which, from th e circumstance that the first promoters of the festival were all sons of clergymen, became commonly known as the Corporation of the Sons of the clergy. The funds are im partially administered to claimants from all the dioceses of England and Wales, and annually assist about 1,200 per sons, of whom 700 are widows and aged single daughters of deceased clergymen, whose small pensions of 101. it was one of the objects of the present festival to augment. Another object is t o ex t en d th e means of the corporation for assisting sick and disabled clergy, and relieving them and their families in urgent cases of distress. A third object is to educate and place out in life the children of poor clergymen, and thus to render assistance most highly valued by the parents, and peculiarly calculated to effect great and durable gold. Divine service, with a full choral accompaniment, was performed in the cathedral at three o'clock. The members of the choirs of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, St. George's Chapel, Windsor, th © Cathedrals of Bristol, Canterbury, Chester, Ely, Hereford, Lincoln, Norwich, Rochester, and Winchester, and of Ox ford, Cambridge, and the Temple , assisted, under the direc tion of Mr. Goss, organist of St. Paul's, who composed a new anthem for the occasion. The total number of vocalists exceeded 250, and the service was performed in the most effective and imposing manner. His Royai Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Marquis of Abercorn (Groom of the Stole), Viscount Torrington (Lord in Wait ing), Col. Wylde, and Capt. Du Plat, occupied seats on the south side. The Lord Mayor, aldermen, sheriffs, and City officers, had places allotted to them on the north side. The centre and transept of the cathedral were fitted up to accommodate 6,000 persons, and at least that number were present. An appropriate sermon wa s preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who selected hiss xfrom the 10th chapter of St. Matthew, 41st vorse— H tf e that re ceiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward." The members of the corporation afterwards dined at Mer chant Tailors' Hall, Threadneedle-street. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Sichiey) occupied the chair, supported on his right by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Marquis of Abercorn, and the Bishop of London, and on the left by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Winchelsea, and the Bishop of Winchester. The following noblemen and gentlemen were also present :—Viscount Torrington, Sir R. H. Inglis, Sir E. N. Buxton, the Bishop of Rochester, the Bishop of Hereford, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Bishop of Worcester, the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of Bangor, the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of St. David's, Mr. Justice Coleridge, the Dean of St. Paul's, and the Hon. H. Liddell, M P. Covers were laid for 420. The cloth having been re moved, The LORD MAYOR proposed the " Church and Queen." The toast having been warmly responded to, the right hon. gentleman proposed the health of his Royal Highness 'Prince Albert, the Royal Steward 'of the year, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family. The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy had, from the earliest times, been favoured with the patronage of royalty, and upon the present occasion his Royal Highness Prince Albert had attended the anniversary festival for the third time. (Applause.) His Royal Highness PRINCE ALBERT returned thanks, and said—My Lord Mayor, allow me to return you, in my own behalf and on that of the royal family, my best thanks for the manner in which you have proposed our healths ; and to you, gentlemen, for the cordial response which you have made to the toast. I am, indeed, highly grati fied to have been a witness to the 20uth anniversary of this festival, notifying, as it does, that the people of this country do not relax in efforts which they have once undertaken, and do not forsake the spirit which ani mated their forefathers. (Cheers.) When our ancestors purified the Christian faith and shook off the yoke of a domineering priesthood—(cheers)—they felt that the key stone of that wonderful fabric, which had grown up in the dark times of the middle ages, was the celibacy of the clergy, and shrewdly foresaw that their reformed faith and newly-won religious liberty would, on the contrary, only be secure in the hands of a clergy united with the people by every sympathy—national, personal, and domestic. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, this nation has en joyed for 300 years the blessings of a Church Establishment which rests upon this basis ; and cannot be too grateful for the advantages afforded, by the fact, that the Christian ministers not only preach the doctrines of Christianity, but live among their congregations, an example for the discharge of every Christian duty as husbands, fathers, and masters of families—(cheers)—themselves capable of fathoming the whole depth of human feelings, desires, and difficulties. Whilst we must grate fully acknowledge that they have as a body worthily fulfilled this high and difficult task, we must bear in mind that we deny them an equal participation in one of the actuating motives of life, the one which, amongst " the children of this generation," exercises, perhaps of necessity, the strongest influence—l mean the desire for the acquisi tion and accumulation of the goods of this world. Gentle men, the appellation of " a money-making parson" is not only a reproach, but a condemnation for a clergyman, de priving him at once of all influence over his congregation. Yet this man, who has to shun opportunities of acquiring wealth open to most of us, and who has himself only an often scanty life income allotted to him for his services, has a wile and children like ourselves, and we wish him to have the same solicitude for their welfare which we feel to our own. (Cheers.) Are we not bound, then, to do what we can to relieve his mind from anxiety, and to preserve his children from destitution when it shall have pleased the Almighty to remove him from the scene of his labours ? (Applause.) You have given an answer in the affirmative by your presence here to-day ; and although this institution can do materially but little, morally it gives a public recognition of the claims which the sons of the clergy have upon the sympathy and liberality of the community at large, and, as such, is of the greatest value. May it continue for further hundreds of years as a bond of union between clergy and laity, and on each recurring centenary may it find the nation ever ad vancing in prosperity, civilisation, and piety. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness again rose and proposed the health of his Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and the Right Hon. Lord Denman, president and vice-president of the Sons of the Clergy. Lord Denman was compelled to be absent, but the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was glad to see, was present, and in good health. Before sitting down, he hoped the company would allow him to be their spokesman in returning thanks to his Graca for the very eloquent and feeling sermon which he had delivered that day. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY acknowledged the com pliment, and proposed the health of the Lord Mayor. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and proposed "The Stewards of the Festival, and thanks for their entertain ment." The Earl of WINCFIELSEA returned thanks. Mr. C. J. BAKER, the treasurer and registrar of the Cor poration, announced the results of the festival to be as fol lows :—H.R.H. Prince Albert, 1051.; subscriptions of 113 stewards of the day, 3,500/. ; collection at the cathedral, 690/. ; subscribed at the dinner, 3,1451. ; estimated collec tions at churches, 3,6001.; Lady Willoughby do Broke, 5001. Total, 12,059/. (Loud cheers.) The remaining toasts were :—" The Lord Bishop of London and the other Prelates"—the Lord Bishop of London returned thanks ; " The Peers and Members of Parliament present"—the Marquis of Abercorn and the Hon. Henry Liddell returned thanks ; " The Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, and Thanks for the Use of the Ca thedral"—the Dean returned thanks; " The Merchant Tailors' Company, and Thanks for the Use of their Hall" —the Master returned thanks ; " The Treasurers of the Corporation of the Sons of the clergy, Sir It. H. Inglis, Bart., Mr. Alderman Copeland, and Mr. Freslafield, M.P." It. H. Inglis returned thanks. The repast, which was an extremely handsome one, was supplied by Mr. Bathe, of the London Tavern. Mr. Higgs officiated as toastmaster. NAVAL APPOINTMENTS.

About 1,500 men attended the obsequies."—Essex Standard. STEAM GUNBOATS IN THE BALTIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have read in the Times of this morning with considerable surprise your Parliamentary report of a discussion on this very important subject between the hon. member for Louth and the First Lord of the Ad miralty, in which I find my name mentioned in a manner which is both unexpected and incorrect. From the report of that discussion it would naturally be inferred that I had made some tender to the Admi ralty regarding iron steam-gunboats - that that tender had been rejected by the Admiralty—and that I, as a disappointed projector, had had recourse to the not un common expedient of getting a friend in the House to put an inconvenient question to the First Lord with the view of furthering my supposed interests. Allow me to add that any such interference, however naturally it might be drawn from the course of the debate, would be entirely without foundation. On the contrary, I have never had any communication, directly or indirectly, with the hon. member for Louth ; and I have made it a rule where I have been in personal communication with the Admiralty on subjects of this nature to regard these communications as confidential until published by them selves. Having stated thus much on the merely personal part of the subject, I beg your permission to add a few words in explanation of certain important facts regarding the construction of these steam-gunboats. I know as a fact that the navies of certain foreign Governments are in possession of steam-gunboats of a description and power for which no vessel in our own navy is at all a match. These vessels have proved them selves in the open sea to be perfectly good sea-boats. They go under steam in their best trim 15 statute miles an hour, and in their worst 13 statute miles an hour. Their light draught of water, when fully armed and equipped, is only 5 feet; and their load draught, with coals for 2,000 miles, is less than 7 feet. They carry 4 long 68-pounders and 4 long 32-pounders. They can fire two of the 8-inch guns parallel to the keel at either end, and they can bring all the four 1-inch guns over to either side for a broadside. These lon.. 8-inch guns are t' all mounted on traversinc, slides, and ° there is ample room for the stowage of the guns when out of use and for working them in action. I have seen these guns worked with perfect ease and security in a heavy sea—in so heavy a sea that the water was coming in over the weather bow in such quantities that an experienced offi cer in the navy, now commanding one of her Majesty's ships in the Baltic, assured me that it would have been impossible to work the long guns of her Majesty's steam sloop of 1,200 tons, which be then commanded, in simi lar circumstances, without the water pouring down the bore of the gun. Two experienced captains in the navy were on board at the trials of these ships in the North Sea three years ago, and I know they communicated in high quarters their opinion that in case of a war it would be most important that our Admiralty should be prepared with a sufficient number of such vessels. I may further be permitted to state that these vessels were surveyed at the time by certain officers of the navy, who reported favourably on their extraordinary arma ment, light draught of water, and unparalleled speed, Two of these vessels were entirely designed, constructed and equipped by my firm. They have now been about three years in service, and have completely answered all the purposes for which they were designed, and it is not impossible, though I hope improbable, that they may yet be among the vessels Sir Charles Napier may have to encounter in the Baltic. _ _ . MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN AsYLuM.—The annua dinner of this excellent society took place last evening at the London Tavern ; Lord John Russell in the chair. There were about 150 gentlemen present, many of whom are largely interested in shipping. Among the company at the cross table were Lord Radstock, Sir James Duke, Mr. Forster, M.P., Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. Ker, M.P., Mr. Green, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Mulholland, &c. After the usual loyal toasts, which were drunk with great en thusiasm, the noble Chairman proposed " Prosperity to the Society." His lordship made an eloquent appeal in behalf of the charity, reminding the company that, while in time of peace the merchant seamen were the men by whose exertions all the produce of the tro p ics was brought to this country to increase the co mforts of all classes, in times of war, like the present, they formed a nurser y for the British navy, and by their indomitable courage contributed to maintain the glory of the country. With respectthatmight g t to tany have measures oceup affecting edthe autehhet attention shipping in terest ment, all he could say was, that he believed the British sailor was ready and able to compete with all the world, and in that belief he had acted. He then alluded to the value of the present society, observing that by the bene volence of the public it was enabled to support and edu cate 120 orphan children. The lease, however, of the spacious premi ses now occu p ied b y it would before long expire, and it was, therefore, highly desirable that their means should be so increased as to provide for that contingency. He trusted that with the increase of com merce and the growing prosperity of the nation their liberality would also extend. The children were then introduced, and his lordship delivered a few appropriate words of advice to them. The amount of subscriptions announced was 1,3151. 15s. 7d. The band of the Ist Grenadier Guards was in attendance. Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster. NEW BILL ON INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES. —Yesterday a bill before the House of Commons was printed to amend the Industrial and Provident Societies Act, 1852. It is considered expedient to vary the exist ing law in relation to societies registered under the act so far as concerns the manner in which legal proceed ings shall be carried on in any manner concerning such societies. It is proposed to enact that suits are to be carried on in the name of one of the officers of any society to be appointed for that purpose. Officers are EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—In consequence of the to be appointed to sue and to be sued, and returns of excess of the male over the female population of Mel- the same to be made to the registrar of the Friendly bourne, the Emigration Commissioners have for some Societies Act.

I believe that certain experienced steam officers in the navy, besides the two I have already mentioned, have spoken strongly to some of the authorities in favour of the immediate construction of this class of vessel for our use in the Baltic and on the Danube, as a class of vessel which has been tested and proved to have been success ful by experience, and which is, therefore, no longer liable to the chance of failure of a mere experiment. Among these I may take the liberty of mentioning my friend Captain Claxton, of the Royal Navy, one or our oldest steam promoters, and who has examined the ves sels I have described. These vessels having appeared peculiarly well suited to the present exigencies of our steam m arine, having been much and openly discussed among m any officers of the navy and their friends, may, perhaps, have laid . the foundation of the discussion in the house last evening, and have led to the mention of my name in a manner which has forced upon me this explanation. --I have the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servant, May 10. -J. SCOTT RUSSELL. ~~ s~ ~ ~G~~ tl~r -~-~-7 r 2,;-; HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEZ. (From ae Report of the Registrar-General., Totals 1,089 1,263 Males Females In the last three weeks the mortality of Lottdon has been high, and the return for the week that ended last Saturday manifests a decided tendency to increase. The deaths, which in the last two weeks of April were re• spectively 1,193 and 1,211, rose in the first week of May to 1,263. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average number was - 951, which if raised in proportion to increase of population becomes 1,046. Hence it appears that 217 persons died last, week, above the number derived by calculation from the experience of former seasons. The increase is owing in part to a great depression of the mean temperature, which fell from 52.6 deg. in the third week of April to 43 . 0 deg. in the fourth. Though it has subsequently risen to 48.9 deg., the atmo3pheric changes, which these numbers represent, have affected human life to some extent, as will be seen by the deaths in the last three weeks from diseases of the respiratory organs, which were successively 202, 186, and 226. The average of last week in previous years was 167. Per sons who died of other diseases would also suffer from the same cause. Diseases of epidemic character have also contributed to the increase. Scarlatina has become more fatal during the last fortnight, and now kills in a wee k nearly 70 persons. Last week 61 children and 6 adults died of it ; and as the district reports show, this disease is rife in some localities. Twelve persons died of small-pox, which has also become more prevalent. The resident medical officer of the Small-pox Hospital reports, that it is " considerably on the increase; 80 patients were admitted into the hospital in the month of April." Five deaths occurred in the week from typhus in the London Fever Hospital, and the disease is reported to be still on the increase. Last week the births of 995 boys and 890 girls, in all I,BBs,children were registered in London. In nine cof. responding weeks of the years 1845-53, the avera. . ber was 1.465. - At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean . = t of the barometer in the week was 29'329 in. The reading was 29.58 in. at the beginning of the wee 'h."b mean temperature of the week was 48.9 deg., 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 It was below the average on every day of the week. he highest temperature was 65 . 5 deg., and occurred on Fri day; the lowest was 35.6 deg., and occurred on Sunday. though hho h ou e e ut difference -hr ff w e wet r sha e t n se. e 4 I b d et eg w . een T i h t e a w n n d t h b e e m w e g a e n n t e e r m a u pr fr t o u m r e The mean dew•poi n t t empera t ure was 44-8 d eg . ; an d w Rainhe lwhole a amount notn ofe v e the r y weekday but did n T e h t u r s exceed d ay the of 0 . 40 in., and of this more than half fell on Monday.

Mr. Tripe, surgeon, of Devonport, nominated, and Dr. Shepherd, of Stonehouse, seconed, Sir Erskine Perry. The show of hands was in favour of the latter, and, a poll having been demanded, the elec tion was appointed to take place this day (Thursday). LICHFIELD ELECTION.—On Tuesday, Lord Water park was elected for the borough of Lichfield, in the room of Lord Anson, who has succeeded to the peerage by the death of his father. There was no opposition, and the proceedings excited but little interest. Lord Waterpark, in returninc , thanks, said he was a thorough Reformer, and expressed his intention to vote for the ballot when the opportunity should arrive. ATTEMPT TO POisorr A FAMILY IN LINCOLNSHIRE. —On Sunday week, three shabbily dressed fellows went to the Sun Inn, Little Gonerby, near Grantham, and demanded to be supplied with beer, alleging that they were on travel. Mrs. Wartnaby refused to draw them any, and requested them to leave the premises imme diately, as they were intoxicated. The men became very abusive, and she left them for a few minutes in the tap room, where a joint of meat was roasting before the fire. They then departed, and Mrs. Wartnaby, upon looking at the meat, observed what appeared to be a quantity of dirt. Imagining that it might have fallen from the pockets of the men who surrounded the hearth, she poured the dripping out of the tin into a basin, washed the meat, and cleaned the tin prior to putting the pudding into it. At dinner the whole of the family, with the exception of Mr. Wartnaby, were taken seriously ill. Medical aid was directly procured, and Mr. Arnold, surgeon, upon examining the dripping in the basin, detected a l a rge amount of copperas, enough to kill 100 people. Had not Mrs. Wartnaby poured the dripping from the tin, washed the meat, &c., no doubt exists that the lives of the whole of the family would have been sacrificed.—Stamford Mercury. CHIMNEY SWEEPERS. —The Chimney Sweepers' Bill, as amended in committee, contains the following clauses : Every person who compels, or any master sweep who compels, or knowingly allows, any person under the age of sixteen years to use or assist in the trade or business of a chimney-sweeper, shall for every such offence be liable to a penalty not exceeding 101. 2. In all proceedings against any party accused of an offence against this act the proof of age shall rest on the party complained against. 3. All penalties awarded under this act, and the costs and charges of and attending the recovery thereof, shall be recovered and levied in the same manner and under the same powers and provisions as if such penalties, costs, and charges were awarded or incurred under the recited act ; and all the provisions of that act relating to appeals against convictions shall ex tend to convictions under this act. THE BULGARIANS.—This tribe of people are found in considerable numbers occupying the Greek provinces of Turkey in Europe. They are evidently of Sclavonic origin, and are considered by some authorities to have been originally a tribe of Huns. They are described as being brave, though cruel, hardy workmen, yet brutal in theirhabits and manners, and they have a great aptitude for pastoral and agricultural labour, so much so that they are said to be the best agriculturists - of European Turkey. In form they are more heavy and massive, and stronger, than their neighbours, the Albanians and Greeks, having coarser features than these, and wanting at the same time the acute, lively, and intelligent phy siognomy of these latter. GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—MeSSTS. Grieve and Tel bin have further increased the attractions of their exhi bition in Regent-street by the addition of several new views, intended to illustrate the important events now taking place in the East of Europe. It was only a few weeks ago that they opened their new diorama of the " route of the British troops to Constantinople;" and on Monday for the first time was exhibited another entirely new series of dioramie pictures, presenting views of many of the cities, towns, and places in the East of Europe, and of some already celebrated by the con flict of arms during the present campaign. The first part contains views of Vienna, Belgrade, New Orsova, Kalafat with the Turkish camp by night, Giurgevo as seen from the Danube, Oltenitza, Galatz, and Sulina. The second part presents views of Sebastopol, Trebizonde, Varna, with a capital representation of the arrival of the combined fleet there, and a picture of Sinope, painted from a sketch by Lieutenant O'Reilly. The whole of these-representations are splendid examples of dioramic painting, equalling anything hitherto produced by the experienced artists who preside over the Gallery of Illus tration. They are particularly interesting at the pre sent moment, and will, probably, increase in interest as the war progresses. The third part of the entertainment consists of the diorama illustrating the route of the British troops to Turkey, terminating with the Nnutiful pictures of the Dardanelles, an Constantinople, -St. Petersburg.
