BANQUET TO HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. Yesterday the Lord Mayor entertained her 3iajesty's Mi nisters and other distinguished guests at the Mansion-house. The dinner took place in the Egyptian Hall. There were present—Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Colonel and Lady Alice Peel, Mr. Peel, Mr. 'William Peel, the Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst, Lord Wharnchffe, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn (the Chan. cellor of the Exchequer), Lady Emily Hardingt, Sir James and Lady Graham, Sir Edward Knatchbull, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Earl of Lincoln, the Earl end Countess Delawarr, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, 'he Earl" and Countess Dalhousie, Lord and Lady Granville Somerset, Sir G. Murray, the Lords of the Treasury, Mr. Gaskell, Mr. Pringle, and Mr. Young; Rear-Admiral Sir G. and Lady Seymour, the Hon. Captain William Gordon, the Right Hon. Henry Thomas and Lady Harriet Corry, the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, Sir Thomas and Lady Fremantle, Sir George and Lady Clerk, &c. The company consisted of between 170 and 180 persons The Lord Mayor occupied the chair ; and on his left was the Lady Mayoress. Sir Robert Peel sat on the left of the Lady Mayoress, and Lady Lyndhurst sat next to Sir Robert Peel. The cloth having been removed, the "loving cup" was sent round according to custom, and the benedictus was sung by the vocalists. The LORD MAYOR then gave "The Queen," which was drunk with three times three. The other loyal toasts were also given and responded to. The next toast was " The Army and Navy." It was ac knowledged on behalf of the army by Sir George Murray, and for the navy by Admiral Seymour. The IA RD MAYOR then gave, in an appropriate address, "The Lord High Chancellor of England." Lord LYNDHURST rose to acknowledge the honour they had done him and the profession to which he belonged by drinking his health. In the office he held he had to discharge two different branches of duty, that which related to the im provement of the law, and that which related to the admi nistration of the law. He hoped with regard to the first that he had always evinced a readiness to suggest or to sup port those improvements in our laws which in the progress of time might have become necessary? With regar d to the administration of the law, he had taken his earliest and best lessons in the City of London. There the great Lord Chief Justice Mansfield had sat, and, with the aid of the ju ries furnished by the merchants of London, he formed and completed our system of commercial jurisprudence. He (Lord Lyndhurst) early in life laboured in the same field, and he could not help calling to mind a conversation with reference to the subject, which he had once with a distinguished fo reigner, who stated that at the time the English underwriters did the greater part of the business of the merchants of Eu rope. The reason he assigned for it was, not so much that Hear, hear.) Lord Mayor. the foreign merchants had a greater op i nion of the stability of our underwriters, but that they had so high an opinion of the justice and impartiality of the tribunals of the City of His Lordship e then event proposed of any the disputeshea health h a r o i s f i nt the . The toast having been responded to, The LORD MAYOR, in acknowledging it, said it was a source of the highest gratification to him to see around him so many distinguished guests on this occasion. It was a source of pride to him that they had received the toast as they had done, accompanied by the remarks which the Lord Chancel lor had thought proper to make. He hoped that when his year of office expired, he should be able to show that he had deserved so much kindness.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the health of " Sir Robert Peel and her Majesty's Ministers." The Right Hon. Baronet had been called to the councils of the nation at a time of great difficulty, and the result of his interference, aided by his great character, talents, and perseverance, was that we were now in a state of comparative ease and affiuene. —(Hear, hear.) He was sure they would agree that the City was indebted to her Majesty's Ministers for their ser vices, and that they Would join heartily with him in drinking their health.—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk, Sir R. PEEL rose to respond to it. He was received with loud cheers. On his own behalf, and on that of his col leagues, he begged to return thanks for the honour that had been conferred on them. Those of his colleagues who were present had seen the cordiality with which their health had been received. To those wnu were ay.eny ,ua particularly to that illustrious man whose connexion with tho ceyern ment formed one of its chief claims on the public support— he meant the Duke of Wellington—(Cheers)—he should take care to communicate the horour which had been conferred on them all. His Noble and Learned Friend the Lord Chan cellor had, in the course of his observations, defrauded himself of much of the merit which was justly due to himself, on ac count of any of those improvements in the jurisprudence of the country which was made under his (Sir R. Peel's) general superintendence. Without the advantage of pro fessional knowledge on the subject, it was impossible that he (Sir R. Peel) could have succeeded, had it not been for the cordial co-operation of one who had raised himself to the highest rank of his profession by his legal attainments, and who, rising superior to all professional interests and prejudices, had zealously co-operated in the great work of legal reform.—(Cheers.) It was the wish of her Majesty's Government cordially to co-operate with the municipal authorities of the City of London. Among the Court of Aldermen there were very few with whom in the course of his long official life he had not been brought into some relations, and he could bear testimony to the zeal and fidelity with which they had discharged their duties. They had co-operated for the . public service with the Go vernment with an entire oblivion of all political differences. No man could be more opposed to the Government in the House of Commons than was Alderman Humphery, the late Lord Mayor, yet there never was a period during which a more cordial co-operation took place between the City and the Government than during his mavoralty.—(Cheers.) He hoped that this cordial concert would long continue, and that conflicting political opinions would never prevent the due perfonnance of executive duties.—(Hear.) As Ministers of the Crown, her Majesty's Government were proud of the confidence of the citizens of London. They had endea voured to use the influence they possessed for the mainte nance of general peace, and to avoid all causes of jealousy and animosity with other Powers. They had endeavoured to do this without compromising the honour or the interests of the country. If peace had been interrupted, he trusted the lustre of the British arms had been maintained unimpaired. At home they had endeavoured to maintain the authority of the law without any undue exercise of power, and still more without seeking any new or unconstitutional addition to that power. They had attempted to equalise the public revenue with the expenditure, and to ave r t th e ev il o f incurring debt in time of peace. They had striven to maintain the public credit, and to show to other nations the truth of that maxim, that honesty is the best policy, believing, as they did, that a country which scrupulously maintained the public honour was also acting on the most con.istent and tie principles of economy.—(Hear, hear.) In effecting all these things they had been supported by . their gracious Sovereign, whose whole heart and mind were intent on the welfare of her subjects. They had received the undeviating support of an enlightened Legislature, and if they were added to these sources of satis faction and confidence of the City of London—the organ and fitting representative of enlightened public opinion, they would have all that was required to insure them the conti nuance of a power to effect those measures which they sin cerely hoped would be for the happiness and welfare of the country over whose destinies they were called on to preside. —(Cheers.) Sir B. Peel then proposed the " Health of the Lady Mayoress." The toast having been received with due honours, The LORD MAYOR acknowledged it, and then proposed, " Lord Ashley, and the Members of the House of Commons." Lord ASHLEY acknowledged the toast. "The Solicitor-General,' " The Aldermen," and other toasts were afterwards given, and the company separated soon after eleven o'clock.

Horn, Robertson, giving Shoubridge, Simmons, Force, Henderson , Miss Lucombe, and theToole, toasts. j " T . Miss Porter. THE LATE DIVISION. (From the Times.) Mr. Raikes Currie complains, with very intelligible bitter ness, that he has been " unjustly gibbeted" as one of the re negades on Lord Ashley's amendment. Mr. Raikes Currie has been a consistent opponent of the ten hours' clause, and is not therefore obnoxious to the charge of having suddenly stultified his former votes. The clerks of the House of Com mons are tame to blame for the mistake, the Hon. Member's name having been erroneously inserted on the division lists as having supported Lord Ashley in the first division, instead of that of Captain Plumridge. Sir,—Seeing you have distinguished my name, with the names of about a dozen others, as having voted against Lord Ashley's clause on Friday last, inconsistently with previous votes in favour of 10 hours, I beg to inform you that in every case where a restriction to 10 hours has been proposed, I have voted against it. The mistake has probably arisen from my having voted also against 12 hours, which, as a supporter of an 11 hours' bill, I conceived the only course open to me. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. ALDAM. House of Commons, May 15,1844. REFUGE HARBOUR COMMISSION.

Newby, London, 1844. _ The character of this volume may be pretty well guessed from its title. It is a rambling, desultory production, full of anecdotes illustrative of the man ners, social peculiarities, &c., of some of the most eminent tragedians and comedians who have flour ished during the last fifty years and upwards. The Kemble family, of course, figure in the fore ground; and next to them, the authoress—Mrs. Mathews—is most copious and circumstantial in her reminiscences of Theodore Hook, whose wit, good-humour, address, and general intelligence, seem to have made an indelible impression on her mind. She is never weary of relating anecdotes of those practical jokes and hoaxes, in which he was so great a proficient; and takes leave of him in these terms, which, though to our taste not a little ridiculous, were, we presume, meant to be quite touching and sentimental :—" Alas ! Theodore, thou art pale in the tomb—in the winter-house ! Thy friends have bent the red eye over thy grave ! They shall seek thee in their halls, but they shall not find thee. Thou shalt come at times to their dreams; thy voice shall remain in their ears; but they shall see thee no more." Had Theodore Hook been alive, he would have been the first to laugh at this Ossianic lament over a defunct friend. Not a few of the anecdotes of this prince of after-dinner wags—for no humourist of his time equalled Hook in the variety and liveliness of his conversation—have already made their appearance in print; and those which are new, are by no means specially remarkable for point or oddity. The volume is a passable one—nothing more—so far as matter is con cerned ; and, as regards manner, the authoress's style is much too professional, being plentifully besprinkled with indifferent puns, and heavy attempts at vivacity, which constantly remind us of the sort of conversation that from time immemorial has been so prevalent in the green-room. We quote a strange anecdote of Pitt, whom Mr. Mathews, it seems, was once invited to meet at the late General Phipps's : " In my husband's earliest years as a London actor, he cherished a strong desire to behold the great statesman Pitt; and in the course of conversation one day with our early friend General Phipps, referring to this desire, he promised Mr. Mathews thaehis longing should be grati fied, for he would, he said, ask him to dinner on some occasion when he expected the great man at his table. For a time some difficulty was found in arranging the matter to suit all parties—my husband having to per form at the Haymarket nightly. However, on the de mise of the Duke of Gloucester, in 1804 or 5, the thea tres were closed until after the interment, and a day was arranged for the promised treat, but to the actor's chag rin, the royal funeral took place sooner than expected, the theatres were re-opened on the very evening fixed for the dinner, and all hope of the gratification intended was fading, when it was suggested to my husband's kind inviter that he could perhaps manage to reach his, the General's house, after the theatre closed, and as the din ner hour was a late one, arrive in time to catch at least a glimpse of Mr. Pitt, before the party broke up. As soon therefore as the green curtain dropped, my hus band hastened to receive the delight he anticipated— namely to behold the most extraordinary political genius of England, and listen to his accents, prepared to trea sure up in memory ever word that fell from the eloquent lips of the great politician •, and it was not without a sensation somewhat approaching to awe, that the actor followed the servant, who ushered him into the dining room where the party still remained, though nearly mid night; for, like Norval—" Never before stood he in such a presence . 1 " But as he entered, he was started by a crash of something breaking, followed by a suppressed titter, and he found the table in great disorder, the guests silent, the General, and the candles burning blue—the new guest looked a little blue also at the constrained, nay vexed, manner with which his heretofore warm and cor dial host received him, and who, without a word of wel come, pointed to the chair just placed for him by the servant. My husband's eye glanced from face to face in the fear that he was too late to behold the only one he came to see, and having hastily scanned each counte nance, his quick eye, long familiar with Gilray's and other likenesses of the Prime Minister, could not fail to recognize, though in a haze, in the sharp features of the long slim personage seated at the top of the table— the political guiding star of Britain, the great son of the great Chatham, the dignified statesman, the observed of all observers—undisturbed by the entrance of the new guest—gravely, and even thoughtfully employed in collecting the wine-glasses within his reach, and piling them one upon another as high as they could balance, and then with the fragments et' the dessert pelting them down into pieces (the crash and suppressed mirth heard by my husband at his entree being occasioned by the destruction of the first batch) and not till all the glasses upon the table were—in auctioneer's phrase— showed up, did the mighty perpetrator think of desisting. He then arose with something like an effort, and with .a silent bow to his host, not very steadily withdrew, accompanied by two of the gentlemen present. The much annoyed General then explained to my husband that the scene he had just witnessed of the self-diversion of his illustrious guest was not infrequently the result of his having suffered too much of the " molten ruby" to pass his lips, as on the present occasion, when he taxed his hospitable entertainers in the manner described. This was the only time my husband saw this great man, who died, I believe, shortly after." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GORHAMBURY RACES-WEDNESDAY. The abundance of racing reserved for the second day rendered a closer adherence to the " order of running" necessary than was observed on Tuesday ; accordingly it commenced a few minutes after one o'clock, and was brought to a close shortly before five, leaving just time enough for those who were bound for the metropolis, to avail themselves of the special train from Watford at six. The sport, good, and plentiful enough to satisfy any rea sonable appetite, presented only two features of any in terest beyond the moment—the Park Stakes for two year olds, and the Double Headed Oak Stakes. The first, for which twelve out of the eighteen named came to the post, was run in " heats," owing, as esta blished before the Stewards, to the horses having started before Mr. Robert Grimston, who officiated on this occasion, lowered his flag, Treen alone having pulled up on hearing that gentleman declare that it was no start. This contretemps, the only one that inter rupted the harmony of the meeting, would have been avoided, had there been a flagsman in advance of the horses; or, we say it with all deference, had the start ing been left to the Clerk of the Course, who proved his fitness for the duty at the last meeting by getting off 19 horses without the slightest failure. The Double Headed Oak Stakes was an agreeable surprise to the fielders. Charlotte, upon whom 6,7, and 8 to 1 was laid, as soon as it was made public that the Devil-to-Pay had paid, having been beaten in a trot. Of these, the other races, and of some important fluctuations in the betting on the Derby and Oaks, we have below given all needful par ticulars. The company on the ground included, besides the Gorhamhury party, which was joined on Tuesday even ing by the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, most of the fashionables whose names have already appeared ; of the middle classes the assemblage was not so numerous. The weather was fine, but many degress colder than on the first day. The racing came off in the following order : The Pondyard Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 20 added. Winner to be sold for 1501., &c. Stand Course. (7 Subs.) Mr. Wilson's Hampton, 5 yrs, 9st 31b...(Bemetzreider) 1 Lord Chesterfield's The Artful Dodger, 5 yrs, Bst 1 llb '2 Mr. Coleman's Devil-among-the-Tailors, 5 yrs, 95t... 3 The following also ran:—Mr. Parr's Xanthus, 4 yrs, Bst 41b—Hon. G. Ongley's Utica, 4 yrs, Bst 41b; and Mr. Land's Phingari, 6 yrs, 9st. Betting-7 to 4 agst Utica, 4to 1 each agst Hampton, Artful Dodger, and Devil-among-the-Tailors. The run • ning was made alternately by the Devil-among-the- Tailors and Xanthus ;to the distance, where Hampton went in front, scattered the field in a few strides, and won easy by a length. The Devil a middling third, and all the others beaten off. The Selling Stakes of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 50 added. Stand Course. (10 Subs.) Mr. Booth's Donnybrook, 4 yrs, Bst 31b (Sly) 1 Lord Stradbroke's Repealer, 3 yrs, 6st llb The following also started :—Mr. Osbaldiston's b c by The Saddler, out of Miss Etty, 3 yrs, sst 31b—Mr. Cowley's Adrian, aged, Bst 81b—Mr. Perry's Dart, 5 yrs, Bst 41b---Lord Glamis's Sister to Ramadan, 4 yrs, 7st—Mr. Nightingale's Ascot, 6 yrs, Bst 31b—Mr. Brown's Pauline, 6 yrs, Bst Mb—Mr. Hewitt's Midnight Star, 3 yrs, sst 101 b (carried sst 121b)—and Mr. Cole man's ch h by Sir Hercules, out of Tarantella, 4 yrs, 7st 71b. Betting-3 to 1 agst Repealer, 4to 1 agst Miss Etty colt, 4 to 1 agst Adrian, 7 to 1 agst Donnybrook, and Bto 1 agst Midnight. Ascot jumped off in front, but resigned the lead in a few strides to Dart and the Taran tella colt, who made joint running for about a mile and a half ; Donnybrook, who had followed them in com pany with Repealer and Adrian, then went in advance, ran by himself to the end, won in a canter, by nearly two lengths, and was claimed for 1501. Dart and Cole man's colt were third and fourth, and everything else beaten off. The Park Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 100 added, for two yrs old ; colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 41b ; win- ners 41bs extra. T.Y.C. (8 Subs.) Mr. J. Day's The Maid of Orleans (J.

Bentinck s Nereus—Mr. Walter's My Mary—Mr. Ford's Piccolina —Mr. Ongley's Mystery—Mr. Wilson's Gazelle—Mr. T. Theobald's Chemise—Mr. Booth's New Year's Day —aud Lord Exeter's f by Velocipede, out of Czar's dam. Even betting on the Maid of Orleans-6 to 1 agst Mystery, (t)-6 to 1 agst Bastion, (t)—and 6 to 1 agst My Mary. The first start, as we have already stated, was a failure, at the second, all got off, except Bastion, and ran the entire distance, the Maid of Orleans winning easily by a length and a half ; Mystery second, and Chemise third; but, on their return to the weighing stand, an intimation was given to the Stewards that Bastion had been left behind, and that the others had started before Mr. Grimston dropped the flag; this, although denied by several of the riders, was declared by Mr. Grimston to have been the case ; and the Stewards, in consequence, pronounced it a false start. 2 to 1 was then laid on the Maid of Orleans, 4 to 1 against Mystery, and 5 to 1 against Bastion. In the actual race, which did not take place till after one more failure, Bastion made the running to the distance, where the favourite went in front, had the rest of it to himself, and won in a canter by two lengths. Corinthian Tom was a bad third, Chemise and Piccolina next, and the others beaten off. Gazelle and My Mary were drawn after the first heat. The St. Alban's Handicap of 15 sovs. each, 5 ft, and 25 „ - - added, with a whip presented to the winning Jockey by the Ladies. Heats. Stand Course. (6 Subs.)

SUDDEN DEATH.—Between ten and eleven on Monday night, an awful instance of sudden death oc curred, in the case of Mr. G. A. Wood, commercial traveller for Blakemore and Rock, Birmingham. He was proceeding towards a boarding house in Scott's yard, Bush-lane, where he lodged, and, as he was at tempting to turn the corner, he fell upon the pavement, and was picked up dead. Upon his person was found upwards of 401. in notes and gold, and a variety of trading samples. DEPARTURE OF THE BAROSSA, CONVICT SHIP, FOS NEW SOUTH WALES.—On Tuesday, the Barossa, having taken on board upwards of 300 convicts, cleared from her moorings off Woolwich Dock yard shortly before twelve o'clock. She had on board male convicts only. For some days past it had been rumoured in the neighbour hood that Barber and Fletcher (whose connection with the wills forgery cases has recently occupied so much public attention) would be dispatched to a penal settle ment by this vessel, and up to a late hour last evening it was universally believed in the town that both of them had been put on board before sunrise. Upon inquiry, however, at the police station within the gates of the dock-yard, on Tuesday night, our reporter was informed that such was not the fact, and that the Barossa weighed and was towed down the river without Barber or Fletcher being on board of her. Whether they will be put aboard this ship before she leaves the British shore is not known, but it is considered not at all improbable.

On some occasion in the Peninsular war ten thousand Spaniards were ordered to attack a position on the brow of a hill. They had scarcely caught a sight of the enemy when they found the work too hot for them, and took to their heels, exposed to a tremendous cross-fire of grape all the way down the hill. Though their loss was dreadful, it was impossible not to be amused at their precipitation ; and the Duke, who was look ing on, observed that he had never before seen a race run by ten thousand men. The said Duke must feel a little of this amusement at the sudden flight of the eighty-eight from the position which a month since they were storming with such gallantry. Of course lie thinks they could not do better, as was, we believe, the case with the aforesaid Spaniards; and it is equally evident that the eighty-eight, like the ten thousand, have not conic off with their skins entirely whole. Yet we doubt not that he and his colleagues have enjoyed a little private amusement at the expense of these unfortunates; and they are perfectly justified in doing so. Each of these eighty-eight gentlemen hopes to escape individual notice by being lost in the crowd. They run in masse, and think in that way to give public opi nion the go-by. Nay. the subject is so excessively disagree able in some respectable quarters, that we don't expect they will at present receive the due reward of their sins. But we are not disposed to let them pass without having a fling or two at them in transitu ; b ?sides laying by the black list for future use, just as a judicious tradesman stores in his desk er his memory the names of uncertiticated bankrupts and other unsafe customers. In the first place, what do these gentle men gain by doing the thing with a high hand, and trying to brazen it out with numbers ? N ot much. Eachin dividual will escape a distinct and separate exhibi tion in that pillory which a tender conscience can not fail to have suggested; but there is such a thing as accumulated shame, the results of which are more serious than any single exposure. It is impossible to reckon the damage which has been done in the present instance. Here is the name of Conservatism, such as it is, blackened for ever; Parliament turned inside out for the amusement or disgust of the populace; Lord Ashley made a joke of. All this, besides other consequences of a more public character, which the eighty-eight don't. appear to feel very acutely—such es the loss of national credit, and the perpetuated hardships of the poor women and young people. Not to be too indiscriminate, there are, we will grant, degrees of delinquency in this busi ness. First and foremost comes that never-to-be-forgotten trio, Messrs. Acland, Liddell, and Gaily Knight, who would not be content to do the thing quietly, but must needs blunt the edge of public shame by ostentatiously announcing that they were going to act contrary to their consciences. They remind one of the definition of " a shameless man" in the Characters of Theophrastus :—" In the middle of the day he takes his station before a tavern, and proclaims to the forum that he is going to get drunk." Mr. Hume is the only Member who has hitherto had the effrontery or the candour to declare his vote to be contrary to his opinion, and he has monopolised a certain sobriquet in consequence. The other day he gave an amusing illustration of his practice. He had made a point of at least one sessional attack on the folly of having a Viceroy at Dublin, except when Lord Ebrington, or somebody of the right sort, was there, and then, he said, he had held his tongue. Well, in the vicissitudes of human affairs, it is possible that we may before long have some body of Mr. Hume's right sort in Downing-street again. Deplorable as such a change would be, we shall find a consolation in the circumstance that the above trio, and perhaps the eighty-eight, will vote as they like. After the three come the fifteen who voted for ten hours in April, and twelve hours in May. Their numbers and their names will not be forgotten. Ten of these gentlemen are zealous Conservatives, and either county Members or of that stratum. Sir John Chetwode is a nominee of the Duke of Buckingham, and indicates what we are to expect in the Lords. Mr. Montagu Gore is an author, and has written on the corn-laws. He is under a professional obligation to defend his vote in writing. We expect another " Letter to the Duke on the Present Crisis." Mr. A. Hope is more than a Conservative—he boasts to be a " Tory," and is a very promising ene, fresh from academic honours, and full of academic spirit. Surely the early wreck of such a man's character might have been spared Next in honour are the eighty-eight, including the above fifteen. The great majority of these are Con servatives. After them must be classed somewhere about a hundred Members, still more prevailingly Conservative, who did not feel strong enough on the question to vote before Easter, but stood by the Premier on Monday. Some of their names will suggest the rest—Messrs. Bagge, Bruges, Cart wright, Cripps, Escott, J. Round, - Sir J. T. Tyreil, Lord Norrys—all patriotic men, and props of the agricultural in terest. Last come the original opponents of the ten hours' clause. Of that body also Conservatism is the most prominent feature—Conservatism in every form, pious, agricultural, political, humble, ambitious. If any of our readers can think of any recent election for county or borough where heaven and earth were moved to return some thoroughly sound, able, and conscientious Con, servative—some particularly disagreeable, stingy, and ex.. elusive Conservative, perhaps, against some rather amiable Whig—when the salvation of the country was declared to de pend on the result, and every tradesman was solemnly required to offend half his customers, every doctor three quarters of his patients, and every clergyman nine-tenths of his parishion ers, to return this most valuable man—then you will be sure to find him in Sir Robert's majority. It is useless to single out names in so large a list, but we will just mention six, be cause we find them in the Committee of the Agricultural Protection Society, which professes to protect, not capital, but industry. These are Messrs. Allix, Bell, and Buck ; - Lord Ingestre, Sir; J. Trollope, Hon. T. Vesey, and Mr. Wode house ; of whom the four last, not having previously in terfered, gathered on Monday to the Premier's rescue. Whom they pretend to protect, when they won't pro tect women and young persons from working thirteen hours and a half a day including meals, is a mystery to re solve which we have in vain bestowed another half-hour on the pamphlet they have recently given to the world. We appeal to the understanding of every man of common honesty, whatever his opinion may happen to be on the ten hours or the twelve hours' question, whether so sudden and enormous a change in the opinions, or rather votes, of the House, is not a lamentable and a fearful event? It smacks of the successful introduction of a new argument—the Ministerial argument. " Whatever we bring forward, you must support us, or we resign ; and then you are cast on the wide world again, with a dissolution, or the Whigs in prospect." No Minister would dare to use this language if he did not feel himself backed by some superior power, which, in the present instance at any rate, is not the power of the people. So there is an end of the representative system, liberty of the Parliamentary conscience, and of the House of Commons it self. It must only meet as the later Senate of Rome met, to record the decrees of the Consul., who were of course the no minees of the Emperor. One now understands what the Duke meant by saying, in the debate upon the Reform Bill, that he did not see how the business of the nation could be conducted with a Parliament so chosen, e e., with a strictly representative Parliament. He has been agreeably surprised. The House of Commons does the business of the nation ad mirably-. It is as au fait at its work as a well-regulated Go vernment office. Sir Robert is the head of the department, and keeps the clerks in order. But will these three hundred gentlemen, at least the half of them, who have openly given their votes to the Minister, just look to the end, as a Gre cian sage advises all to do? Every act of any significance is only one of a series, and helps to determine the character of subsequent acts. Let them just ask the obvious question, What next? They have voted away the protection of the factory women and children this session, perhaps the con clusion of the series will be a vote in which their own pro tection is concerned. When that shall come—for come it assuredly will, as no one knows better than the Premier— who will pity the agriculturists? Who ever pitied those who were incapable of pity for others 2—Times.

Vivian, M.P. ; Admiral Sykes, Lord James O'Brien, Admiral Skipsey, Ge neral Fair, Admiral Sir John Wood, Sir Edwin Stanhope, the Rev. Dr. Burnett, and others. Upwards of 250 gentlemen sat down to a very excellent en tertainment. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags, and on the different tables, in addition to the other lights, were miniature models of lighthouses already erected, and in process of erection. On the removal of the cloth, the usual loyal toasts were given and duly disposed of; General Fair and Admiral Skipsey returning thanks for the army and navy. The Noble CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Vice patrons of the Institution, the Kinglof Prussia and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Of the latter it was un necessary to speak, while of the former he would only say that he had, unsolicited, transmitted a handsome donation in aid of the funds of the Society. The toast having been disposed of, The Noble CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Rev. Dr. Burnett, and the Prelates, and others of the Clergy who had lent their valuable assistance, by preaching charity sermons in its behalf, and in other ways, to the Institution.. The Rev. Dr. Bunsorr returned thanks. The Noble CIIAIRMAN, in proposing the }text toast, which was the toast of the evening, made a most feeling appeal to the company present, in behalf of an Institution which pre sented so many urgent claims to the charitable consideration of a community so eminently commercial as was this. The Noble Chairman adverted to the good which the Society had already, during its brief existence, effected, as a cheering augury of its future operations. Since its first establishment, 482 widows, 1,722 orphans, 315 aged parents, 5,891 shipwrecked persons, and 502 distressed fishermen, had been relieved-- making a total of those who had experienced the benefits of the Society of 8,512 persons in distress. During the course of last year 82 widows, 246 orphans, 50 aged parents, 2,166 shipwrecked persons, and 60 distressed fahermen, had lu lche SocietyeaoT ht m ed , which had become objects of its bounty.

The musical arrangements, which were under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, gave great satisfaction, and included Messrs. Hawkins, Roe, and Chapman, Masters Stevens and Sullivan, and Mr. Ellis Roberts, a Welsh harpist, whose performances afforded much pleasure, and were encored. It is satisfactory to notice, from the increasing number of its supporters, that this valuable Institution is fast gaining in public estimation. SACRED iibmoNic SOCIETY. —The performance at Exeter-hall on Friday evening will present unusual attrac tion. In addition to Miss Rainforth, Ilolby, Afanvers, and Phillips, Staudigl makes his re-appearance; and the part for which he is cast in Mr. Perry's oratorio, is one peculiarly qualified for the display of his extraordinary talents. Ile attended the rehearsal on Tuesday evening, and completely electrified all present by his unrivalled performance of the music allotted to him. THE COLD WATER CURE.—The ordinary punish ment at the Boston House of Correction is a shower bath. The offender is placed in a very narrow box, with a collar round his neck, and three or four barrels of ice-cold water are poured over him in succession ; it is said that it cows and su bdues the most refractory. , n L i e g g h - t a , lle s y h , or L t o ly ng- af ac t re er , fireLo isbGri:iAeconuEt.. — at N L o a . st 7 ten F O I ' R crOCk E I , N a ozcupied by a number of persons.
