The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. The LORD CHANCELLOR fixed the second reading of the Charitable Trusts - Bill for Thursday. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that on Monday he would introduce several Bills for remedying defects in our system for civil and criminal jurisprudence. The High Constables Bill was read a second time, pro forma, preparatory to its being referred to a Select Committee. The Scottish Tolls Bill, prohibiting the licensing of toll-houses in Scotland for the sale of spirituous liquors, was, on the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, read a second time, Lord CAMPBELL, the Duke of 'MONTROSE, and the Earl of DALHOUSIE, expressing their approbation of the measure, and the Earl of ROSEBERY opposing it, as cf too sweeping a character. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved the addition of the following clause to the Act of last session, constituting the Rail- Way Department of the Board of Trade :—" And be it further enacted, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to exempt the railway by this or the said recited Acts authorised to be made from the provisions of any general Act relating to railways, which may hereafter pass during the present or any future session of Parliament, and that the said resolution be a standing order of this House." Several Hon. Members complained that the motion had been brought forward without sufficient notice, and on the inggestion of Mr. GLADSTONE it was postponed for a week. On Sir R. PEEL movirtg that after the 2d of June Orders of the Day should have precedence of motion, Mr. H. BERKELEY and Mr. WAKLEY complained of the House having been counted out on the preceding evening. On the motion that the House do resolve itself into Committee of Supply on the Navy Estimates, Mr. TRELAWNEY brought forward the case of Mr. SECCOMBE, mortgagee of the ship Velocity, seized for smuggling, but of which smuggling Mr. SECCOMBE was not cognisant. Mr. CARDWELL admitted the hardship of the ease, and regretted that no remedy could be given without making & dangerous precedent. Captain BERKELEY then called the attention of the House to the present system of manning the Navy, and designated the distinctions between sea complements, warcomplements, and peace complements, as all nonsense, —what the Navy required was a proper complement. It was as great a fault to overman as it was to underman a ship, and in all cases the crew should be proportioned to the number of guns. Sir G. COCEBURN assured the House that means had been recently adopted for efficiently manning the ships in service, and contended that seamen would enter the navy in preference to the merchant service. A long discussion ensued, in the course of which the House was addressed by Mr. SOMES, Mr. H. LAMBTON, Captain Rots, Captain PECHELL, Lord INCESTRE, Sir C. NAPIER, Mr. WILLIAMS, Lord PALMERSTON, Sir R. PEEL, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and other lion. Members, after which the Rouse went into Committee, and several votes for the public service were agreed to without a division. The House then resumed, and the Banking (Scotland) Bill having passed through Committee, adjourned at One &Clock. Ireland has been so little accustomed to acts of kind ness on the part of the English Government, that every favour now proffered is received with suspicion and die ' trust, or with fear that a scheme is in progress for de . stroying national liberty and undermining the founda ' tions of the Catholic faith. This is no new symptom in . human nature, it is as ancient as the siege of Troy, and ' when statesmen—long hostile either from necessity or in clination to the Catholic population, suddenly change their policy, and in place of Coercion Bills, Registration Bills, Arms Bills, and fifty others of the same stamp— bring forward measures of conciliation, and profess to regard a proscribed race as friends and fellow-subjects, we cannot be surprised that the Irish look well at the Presents and the givers before they accept them with gratitude. This may, therefore, be admitted as a pallia tion for the bitter hostility displayed by some - of the Irish journals to the Acadamies Bill, but by no means as a justification for unjust imputations and wicked charges against the long-tried friends of Ireland as well as the repentant Tory Administration. No men ever made greater sacrifices for the sake of peace than the Whigs and Liberal Members of the House of Commons. They have displayed a moral courage above all praise, and notwithstanding threats and promises, and every possible means resorted to for the purpose of conversion, these honourable representatives, with some contemptible exceptions, have adhered to their convic tions. Are noble minded men like these to be in cluded in the same category with Lord STANLEY and Mr. GC/ELEVEN, and accused of concurring in a plot for demolishing public spirit in Ireland ? One of the Irish provincial journals thus comments on the Education Bill which received such general support from all parties in the House :—" It is not a generous concession to Irish wants, but a treacherous scheme to corrupt the young mind and taint the young heart of our country through Government patronage and influence. Away with it ! It is directed chiefly against repeal. No scholar will obtain a professorship in any of the proposed collegiate institutions who be lieves that domestic legislation would be a blessing to his country. He may be first of a hundred candidates, but if he be a repealer, he will be requested to retire. The Irish youth must not dare to think on Irish ques tions otherwise than as the English Government ap• proves, or they will be excluded from the benefits of academical education in their own country ! Away with it again, it is an abomination ! We spurn with scorn such a gift. We will do still more. If they dare to in sult our eyes with any of these stews of Government cor ruption, under the name of colleges, we will level them with the ground." The same paper adds :—" It is not learning we want at all. It is food and raiment. We ask for bread, and you give us a book." Such wild de clamation would require little notice were not the same view taken by many Englishmen. They also say, give the Irish bread—give them employment—but they never tll us how it is to be done ; and Englishmen who have made the experiment, know, to their cost, the ruin which has befallen many Speculations well calculated to give bread to thousands. And what put an end to these beneficent schemes ? Irish jealousy of England. The ignorant multitude were excited by lying journals. They rose against their best friends, literally carried into effect the rabid injunction of the Kilkenny editor, and levelled the English factories with the ground. We have always said that Irish misrule has lasted so long that an age will be required to redress grievances, and place the population in a sound and civilised condition. The work cannot be accomplished at once. Time, and judicious treatment, are absolutely necessary, and a wise Government will, therefore, turn a deaf ear to such absurdities, propose measures which they believe practicable, and persevere in them to the last, regard less alike of political bigotry and popular ignorance. We have been looking with much anxiety to the view which the Irish Catholic bishops and clergy take of this Academies Bill, because, on their decision, will its fate rest. Should they oppose it, the prospects of that country will 'be gloomy indeed. The Government cannot, if they would, allow them the superintendence of any of the colleges. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in vain, attempted to carry his Factories Education Bill for England, and if the interference of Protestant bishops is regarded with such horror, would that of Catholic prelates be viewed in a less favour- - able light ? Madrid journals -of the Bth inst. have been received. The discussion of the budget was still going on in the Chamber of Deputies, and two important resolutions had been adopted—one authorising the Government to raise a loan for repairing and constructing roads, the interest of which should not exceed 15,000,000 reals (150,0001.), and the other fixing the amount of the an nual tax on landed property at 300,000,000 reals (3,000,0001) The latter was adopted by a majority of fig to 27. This certainly Is a very heavy tax for such a country as Spain, and has produced a strong sensation among the landed proprietors. On the 7th the first horse-rafts for the season took place at the Casa de Campo. The QUEEN and Royal Family attended by NARVAEZ and MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa, tbe French Ambassador, and many general officers, were present on the occasion. Among the sports was a hurdle race, which excited much interest. The Three per Cents. were done at 341 for cash, and 35i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 25 for cash, and 251 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 84 at 60 days. The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with com ments on the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on the great northern line of railway, but they possess little interest to the English reader. The Bill introduced by 'the Government, it appears, will be adopted with little alteration. On Wednesday, the Chamber had adopted all the clauses up to the 47th, and rejected many amendments. One of the amendments proposed by M. E. BLANC was, that the third-class carriages should be so constructed as to be closed, not with curtains, as pro posed in the Bill, but with glass or wood, like the other carriages. The amendment was lost. The Deputies of the Pas de Calais presented an amendment, proposing a branch line from Fampaux, near Arras, toHazebrouck, with a view to place Calais and Dunkirk on the same footing as Boulogne in respect to communication with the centre of France. This amendment was re ferred to the Committee on the Bill, who recommended that it should be rejected. The accounts from Africa are not favourable. ABD-EL-KADER is evidently deter mined that Marshal BIIGEAUD shall not enjoy his title in peace. A letter from Algiers, of the 6th instant, states that the insurrection is complete in the mountains of the Ouarenserris, and that several of the Arab chiefs who had received appointments from the Governor- General have been sacrificed. It is also stated that nearly 2,000 mounted Arabs appeared on the 28th ult. before Orleanville, and menaced an attack, but withdrew on a sortie being made by the garrison, supported by the cannon of the camp. On the 30th a serious engage ment took place in sight of Orleanville, between the hos tile Arabs and a French detachment. The Arabs were defeated, with a:loss of 20 killed. The French had only two men killed and six wounded. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the report of M. GARELLA, who had been sent out by the Go vernment to examine the practicability of the scheme for making a canal through the Isthmus of Panama. He reports in favour of the measure, but one of his plans is rather alarming for the success of such an undertaking. He found the lowest elevation between the two seas_to be about 500 feet, and as it is too great an elevation for a ship canal, he proposes an enormous tunnel, capable of allowing frigates to pass through. He thinks, from an examination of the soil, that a tunnel of 100 feet in height above the surface of the canal would be practicable, and might be made within a reasonable outlay of money. On the Paris Bourse on Wednesday the Three per Cents. closed at 86f. 25c. • the New Loan at 86f. 55c. ; the Five per Cents., at 121 f. 30 c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,221 f. 25c. • ' Rouen I,oBBf. 75c. ; Vferzon , 822 f. 50c. ; Havre, Mi. 50c..

The doors yesterday morning, long before the hour of opening, were besieged by crowds of well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, anxious to secure an early admission. Bow-street was thronged , with carriages, and the exterior of the box entrance of Covent-garden Theatre presented an appearance which reminded the playgoer of times long gone by, when the Kembles were in their glory. There were placards posted outside the theatre announcing to visitors from the country that on their pre senting their return railway tickets at the box-office they would be admitted once to the Bazaar free. The sales have been, we believe, considerable ; for we observe that in many of the standings all the articles which were exhibited the first day have disappeared, and others substituted in their stead. Indeed; it is announced that every day there will be a change in the articles exhibited at the standings. Contributions continue to arrive daily, and so numerous are they that we believe, although the Bazaar has now been open for more than a week, not one half of the contributions have yet been exhibited. Amon the recent arrivals is an elegant pony phaeton, manufactured and presented by Mr. Richard Andrews, Southampton. It is a beautifully built little carriage, under duty size. Its colour is purple lake, with fine blue leather lining. It is marked at 404rtineas. There is also a cargo of coals sent to the Bazaar. The band and the rock harmonicon are stationed in the upper boxes. We mention this fact, because we have heard many persons express a great anxiety to see the rock har monicon, but they have been unable to discover in what part of the theatre it was stationed. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (Pom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) At a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town at the Town-hall, on Tuesday, the following address to her Majesty was unanimously agreed to, and the Chairman, the Rev. J. B. Atkinson, was requested to sign it in the name of the meeting, and forward it to Sir J. Graham for presentation : "ADDRESS. "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, VICTORIA I. " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the inha bitants of Cowes, beg leave to approach your Majesty with the most fervent assurances of our devoted attachment to your august person. "Next to these sentiments of loyalty, which, in common with the rest of our fellow-subjects, we owe, and are happy to profess, we entreat your Majesty will permit us to testify our peculiar sense of joy and gratitude arising from the cir cumstance of your Majesty having been pleased to become the proprietor of a residence in our favoured island. "And we fervently hope that, under God's blessing, these salubrious shores, which we have reason to think afforded so much delight to your Majesty in the days of your childhood, may likewise conduce to the health and enjoyment of your royal offspring, who are, with your Majesty, the objects of a nation's hearty prayers. " At the same time that we deliver to your Majesty this grateful testimony of our feelings, we should be deficient in that respect which we owe to your illustrious Consort if we did not add the assurance of his sharing in all those expressions of loyalty and attachment which we have the satisfaction of conveying to your Majesty." Her Majesty and suite embarked .this day (Thursday) at two o'clock, on board the Lightning steamer, under salutes from the Castle and R.Y.S. battery. It is expected that the royal party will return to Osborne in about three weeks. During their stay the Queen and Prince Albert daily walked out through Osborne Park and grounds, and also through East Cowes Park—(it is surprising that none of the beautiful houses lately erected there are neither let nor sold)—and took drives to Carisbrook and its neighbourhood. A project is on foot to form an atmospheric railway from East Cowes to Ventnor ; from thence one branch is to be laid along the shore to Black Gang Chine, and thence over the cliffs to the Needles, and another to the eastward to Bern bridge-point, and under the Haven to Hyde! Next*we shall have a bridge from the main to the island, or a tunnel under the Solent. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—We are gratified in being enabled to state Madame Thillon's indispositirm has been but of a temporary nature, and that she posi tively re-appears in The Enchani-ess on Monday. The Morning Chronicle, whether :actuated by an ambition of toadying the Times, and abstract to the Morning Herald, or a wish to puff off its friend Mr. Mazzini, we cannot say ; but from one or other of these three motives, which ever it was, the Morning Chronicle yesterday made a most unjust and a perfectly unprovoked attack upon this journal. The Morning Chronicle charged the Morning Herald with having denounced the Times' scandalous con duct towards Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, solely as one mounte bank deprecates the drugs of another mountebank. The writer of this insulting charge knew that he was writing a falsehood when he wrote it—knew that the Morning Herald never touched upon the disgraceful conduct of the Times towards Mr. Talfourd until that dis graceful, conduct had led to consequences directly affecting the whole newspaper press in its interest,' in its character, and in its rank. Let not the Morning Chro nicle palliate its own timid truckling to the Times for twelve days, by charging our different conduct to an unworthy mo tive. As to Mr. Mazzini, against whom we or the Standard, it is not clearly stated which, is charged by the Morning Chronicle to have ".concocted some villainy," we deny that we have ever made any unauthorised charge against him, or withheld any testimony in his favour. Our own opi nion of the individual is unaltered by anything that we have seen, and we will not tell lies even to disarm his resentment or the anger of the Morning Chronicle. If the party has been wronged by us, let the wrong be shown, and we will repair it ; if no wrong on our part can be shown, we are not going to trump up a case for him.— Herald WILL OF GENERAL ROBERTSON.—Probate of the will and two codicils, as far as respects the property in Eng land, of James Robertson, formerly of Hill-side, but late of Canaan-bank, near the City of Edinburgh, a General in her Majesty's army, has just been granted to his nephew, John Russell, Esq., one of the executors, a power being re served to Lieutenant-Colonel David Robertson Macdonald, the brother, and William Robertson, Esq., a nephew of the deceased, to prove hereafter.

The state of trade in the wholesale markets appears just now to be tolerably satisfactory, as there is a good business doing for actual consumption in most of the leading staples. The arrivals from all parts of the world continue large, and this keeps prices down, and checks speculation, whether in all cases the importers are obtaining a satisfactory return on their . capital may admit of some doubt. Among the Manchester houses there has been a little bustle by the arrival in town of so many parties connected with the manu facturing districts and large provincial cities, to visit the Anti-Corn-law Bazaar ; and the retailers have generally experienced a decided increase in their business from the same cause. The influx of visitors and men of business to the "great metropolis," is another proof, at the same time, of the important influence of low fares on railways, as it is undoubt edly in a great measure owing to the excellent arrangements of the League for bringing up passengers at greatly reduced fares, that the arrivals are so numerous. The Funds have been slightly flattened by rather an in creased supply of stock, but there is no essential alteration. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 98% to 98%, and for time 99 to 09%. Exchequer-bills have been again marked 545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 100% to 101, and the Three per Cents. 97% to 98. India Stock has been at 277%. This is selling day in the Foreign Market, and there has been very little business done. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 30 1 /, and the Three per Cents. 42 t o 1 / 9 . Mexican Stock has realised 36 1 /, and Chilian 98%. Dutch Twa-and-a-Half per Cents. were 63%. A meeting of the Portuguese Bondholders is to be called, to consider the con version scheme. The Shares of many of the Railways already in operation have been rather firmer to-day, and there is an improve ment in their value. The scrip of the projected lines re mains about the same.

Extract of it'le t ter received at Lloyd's :—" The Health Officers at Belem have become — more particular than ever, putting vessels in quarantine for the most trifling affair. Masters of vessels should be particular to see and have their Bills of Health in order, not to have more or less hands on board- than specified in th e Bill s o f Health, and in case or 'Rutting into any port in the Channel, have their bills signed by the Portuguese or any other Consul of that places and in case of no foreign . Consul, by the Justice of the-Peace or Custom -house officers." ' - First vessel from Cineinnatti. The Muskingrain, WellF, arrived at.

THE GREAT RUNNiNG---.—.AFA-:---I,cil.AT SLOUGH. The exciting match for a pedestrian to run 20 miles within two hours was determined yesterday. The match was made by a military gentleman betting Mr. Bragg, the proprietor of the Starilotel, at Slough, 200/. to 100/. that the latter could not produce a man to run 20 miles in two hours. Several pedestrians were put into training and had trials of the feat, when Maxfield, the North Star was selected for the match. The greatest int eres t h as prevailed in the *Siting world as to the result of this undertaking, and Et vast sum of money was pending the issue. 'Maxfield hasfrequently distinguished himself as one of the most superior runners, for a long dis tance, of the present day. In a late match between Jackson, the American Deer, and Sheppard, of Birmingham, upwards of 11 miles was accomplished in one hour, but the completion of 20 miles in two hours is unprecedented in the records of pedestrianism. At an early hour a multitude of spectators assembled near the Star Inn, and Maxfield presenting hi mse lf, started for the herculean task. He performed the first mile in 5 1 4 minutes, and completed 10 miles under the hour. He was refreshed at intervals, and kept on at a steady pace, and ultimately succeeded in running in a winner. EMIGRATION. Thursday afternoon, about ore o'clock, six of the Piccadilly omnibuses drove into the West India Docks, with about 120, healthy and active-looking agricultural labourers, the greater number of them being from Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. The men, toge ther with their wives and families, have entered into a con tract to work on the estate of Mr. J. Burgess, in the island of St. Kitt's, but the terms of the agreement did not tran spire. The emigrants appeared to be in good health and spirits, and were evidently actuated by much higher hopes than the prospects at home held out to them. They will sail at high water to- morrow, in the barque Benjamin Greene. CHEAP RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—An instance, not unamusing of the facilities afforded by the cheapness of railway excursions at holiday times, came under our notice this week. A person in a retail line of business was in the habit of availing herself on every Whit-Monday, on the ces sation of custom, by having her shop whitelimed and the chimney swept. This year neither could be done. The master-sweep informed her that his apprentice was going on an excursion to Cheltenham, and the plasterer's journeyman was off to Gloucester l—Bristol Gazette.

ROYAL ORTHOPIGLDIC INSTITU- TION. The sixth anniversary festival of the Royal Ortho pcedic Institution for the cure of Club Foot, and other Contractions, took place last evening, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His R , ,yal Highnt-ss the Duke of Cambridge in the Chair. - - At six o'clock his nuyal Highness (the President of the Institution) arrived, and about 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner, consisting of all the delicacies of the season, which was put on the table in the usual excellent style of the London _Cavern. 'There was also a plenti ful supply of wines of the choicest vintages. Port, sherry, bucellas, hock, and champagne *ere in abun dance. After the cloth had been withdrawn, and the usual loyal and national toasts had been drunk, Lord ABINGER proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, President of the In stitution, which was drunk with three times three and-one-cheer more. The Duke of CAItIBRIDGE returned his sincerest thanks to the company assembled for the enthusia.tic manner in which they had drunk his health.. He con sidered the institution, the establishment of which they were met to celebrate,_ as a most interesting one, and he was mosi- , happy in being enabled to take the chair on the present oceasi n.—(Loud cheers.) The subject of' the cure of these diseases had engaged his attention at the time that he was Viceroy of Han over. Hitherto there - had been only. few means of 'cur ing these dwOrmities but this establishment had been founded for the purpose of enlarging those means. The means of cure had been enlarged by the studies of the medical officers of this establishment—(Cheers)--and he had no doubt but that the institution would increase in prosperity and usefulness. The intelligent gentleman who was the active medical officer of the institution, had discovered means for the cure of those unhappy persons who were labouring under tho edetormities, the remedy of which was the peculiar object of the Institution. and upwards-of 3,000 unfortunate persona had benefited by his exertions since the fourdation of the Institution. —(Dear, hear.) But there was much more yet to be accomplished,"and he trusted that, -by their liberality that evening, they would greatly extend the usefulness of the Institution:--:(Lond cheers.)- He had to apo logise for leaving thein at that early hour, but, as he had an appointment elswhere at half after - nine, he trusted they would excuse him.---(Loud cheers.) Glee---" Star of Brunswick," sung by Messrs. Hobbs, Hawkins, and Hatton: At the conclusion of the glee his Royal Highness left the chair,, which was taken by Lord Abinger, amidst loud cheering. The CHAIRMA.N, in proposing "Success to the Ortho pcedic Institution," said that his attention had been first drawn to the Institution, from the fact of a member of his own family having suffered from that de formity, for the cure of which this Institution was founded. He hail been induced, on that occasion, to apply to Mr. Tamplin, the surgeon -of the institution, who had performed an operation on his (Lord . Abin•- ger's) relative nhich had been completely successful, had entirely removed the deformity, and had restored his re lative to perfect health. His Lordship then minutely de scribed the operation which had been performed, and passed a high eulogium upon Mr. Tamplin, which was loudly cheered by the company. The toast of the medical officers was then 'drunk, in returning thanks for which, Mr. TAMPLIN, the surgeon to the institution, gave an interesting account of the means by which he had been led to the discovery of theoperation forthe cure of this defor mity. The institution had only been in existence six years, and they already enjoyed royal patronage, and had that day had the honour of being presided over by a Royal Chairman. From this he argued great prosperity to the institution, and he could assure them that no efforts should be wanting on his part to secure that success. The subscriptions announced during_ the course of the evening amounted to upwards of 1,000/. The musical arrangements weremnder the direction of Mr. Hobbs, and during the course of the evening several popular airs, duets, and glees were sung in excellent style by Master Sullivan and Stevens, and Messrs. Hobbs, Hawkins, and J. L. Hutton. The band of Fusilier Guards was in attendance, and during the dinner per formed several popular airs. The galleries were filled by ladies who seemed to take a great interest in the proceedings. SOCIETY. OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS. The annual festival of the Society of Friends of. Foreigner in Distress took place on Thursday at the London Tavern. The Duke - of Cambridge presided. His Royal Highness was supported.by the Prussian, Spanish, and Hanoverian 'Minis ters, and about 220 Of the most eminent merchants and citizens of London. The cloth being removed, Non Nobis was chanted by Messrs. Cooke, Francis, Machin, Sze. Her Majesty the Queen, and'other loyal toasts; followed in suc cession. The Prussian Ambassador, the Chevalier Bunsen, concluded a speech - of considerable force and elegance,•by proposing the health of the Royal Chairman, which being responded to with unbounded cordiality, his-Royal Highness acknowledged the complinient, and stated thehen efits conferred by the Society upon the-objects of. itabutinty dining the past year. They had hadsiventy pensioners, besides vit ich Seven ty three persons had received small regular allowances, and 102 persons had been assisted with the means of returning to their own countries. Casual relief had been 'given in 2,29 instances ; among which there were 236 new cases. Yet still such 'Kea-the mass and depth of misery which the metropolis contained, that comparatively few of the really deserving objects of their, bounty received relief.—(Hear,. hear.) In the course of the evening David Salumens,Esq., with the permission of the chair, prnpOed The "Senate and City of Hambnigh," and in dAille so took occasion to compliment that body for their cordial. response to the call of the vener able Mr. Brandt; who had been first and foremost in pressing the clainii of the unfortunate who had suffered from the me lancholy disaster which had befallen" Hamburgh two years ago, upon the citizens of this . metropolis. - The toast•wes-drunk with great cordiality of feeling. The: ." Health of the Foreign - Ambassadors," and also that of "The Vice-Presidents," was drunk, and acknowledged by the, Chevalier BUNSEN, who took occasion to deprecate the finding of, any of the; munificent donations of the foreign sovereigns,. as indicating a want of confidence in the benefi cence- and charity of the succeeding years. His Excellency - also allUded to the - new . German Hospital proposed to be founded very soon by numerous benevolent individuals, in• which the Queen Prince Albert, the King of Prussia, and the Duke orCambridge, took -peculiar interest; with a view 'to disabuse the minds of those present .of the idea that it would iniure that institution. On the contrary, he declared, and was 'followed by the Royal Chairman, that one spring of charity was the source of another.—(Hear.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE handsomely proposed the health of Mr. Adolphus-Brandt, one of the stewards, who had col lected from his friends in all parts of the world the munifi cent sum of 1,3001. Mr. BRANDT returned thanks with much feeling The liberality of the company was not exceeded, we be lieve, in any former year. The sum total of subscriptions announced, including 100 guineas from her Majesty, amounted to 2,5851. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. The centenary festival of•the hospital , was celebrated on Thursday by a dinner, given at Willis's-Rooms, St. James's street, previous to which a sermon was preached at All Souls' Church, 'St. Marylebone, by the Lord Bishop of London. Upwards of 300 gentlemen afterwards sat down to dinner; among others were-Lord Dartmouth Lord Robert Gros venor, Lord Aylmer, Lord Harvey, ford Teignmouth, Sir Thomas Herbert, Bishop of Llandaff, Dean of Chichester, John Astell, Esq., W. Astell, Esq., M.P., 8. - B. Cabhell, Esq., Captain Fremantle,) Dr. Penfold, M. Pepys, Esq., J. M. Arnott, Esq., and many 'other distinguished professional gen tlemen. Lord Prudhoe presided, at the special request, and as the representative of the Duke of Norttunberlaud. After the usual loyal toasts, . The CHAIRMAN proposed the' health of the President of the institution, the Duke of Northumberland, who ver y much regretted his inability to attend that day.-(Applause.) Glee-" A generous friendship no cold medium knows." The CHAIRMAN then said he bacl,to propose to them the toast of the evening, " The Middlesex Hospital, and success to- it." He much regretted that . their President was unable to preside, as he must have fulfilled the duties of the chair in a 'much more efficient manner; he would, however, throw himself upon thR generous feelings . eft the company. Th e hospital, is might be seen from the report, was of an exten sive nattire and required extensive f un d s t o support it. It. was - a.charitv that blessed-him who gave and him who re ceived.(Clieers.) It was not established merel-r for the re ception. pftick persons,. but patients who were already con.- valsecent were retained Within - its wallS until they had per fectly. .recovered their health, and were enabled to' return to their daily labour with renewed strength, and with thank ful feelings towards those who had enabled them so to do. Lord DARTMOUTH proposed the health of the Chairman, which he shortly acknowledged ; and proposed the health of the Vice- Presidents, coupling with the toast the name of Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., who returned thanks. The Treasurer's reportwas then read. Among the subsc4:: tions read, some of the larger ones, were as follow -~Her Most Gracious Majeity, Patron, 105/. ; her Majesty.

THE COAL TRADE.—NEWCASTLE, TUESDAY.—The regulations so long established by the coalowners of the north of England, in respect to the supply of coal to the London Market, are now at an end, and henceforth the inhabitants of the metropolis may expect to be supplied with that indis pensable article of domestic use on more reasonable terms than formerly. The circumstances out of which this state of things has arisen are manifold, but confined chiefly to the trade itself. Many of the large coalowners having refused to bind themselves to the proposed conditions, which have been some time under revisal by the Coal-Trade Committee, after several meetings, and much discussion, the Committee determined this day to leave the trade open. CAB STATISTICS.--Accordin g to a late return, there are in the metropolis 130 cab-stands, and 8,592 cab men, conductors, and watermen, being an increase of 244 beyond those similarly engaged last year. It appears that during the past two years a decided reformation has taken place amongst those hardworking men, many of whom are regular attendants at a place of worship on Sundays, while others, from an anxiety to improve their mind, attend a school opened especially for them. Some have even given up driving cabs on Sundays, in order that they may keep holy the Sabbath. ::'I.2•ETIAL PA a 1.1",1 , 5:t.: . HOUSE OF LORDS, May 16.
