We have before us h eport of a Committee of the Re -- peal Association, appointed some time ago to inquire into the state of joint-stock banking in Ireland, and submitted Associationit ! , :s r t ew m a r k ee k a u t ps t ho h on e u C tl hd o e r n h al ev E ge x i c iwm h i a ta n ut g e b e ca n , D nkn u i ne b cg l nron we W w33 *w i t I i t h et h 0 a u d n t a w i a it Repeal ttihnat the Committee appear to have bestowed agood deal of labour and pains in collecting information, and the language of the report, it must also be allowed, is temperate, and not app.- rently overcharged. The case made out in the report of the Committee is de eisive, that Ireland is greatly deficient in banking capital and accommodation. An interesting contrast in this respect is drawn between the present condition of Ireland and Scotland. The whole banking capital paid up in Ireland is only 1,600,0001., deducting the capital of the Bank of Ireland all lent to Government. The whole available banking means of Ireland is thus stated :—Average circulation, 5,500,0001. ; deposits, 6,000,0001., and paid-up capital, including the whole capital of the Bank of Ireland, 4,230,0001., making a total of 15,730,0001. With these means so little benefit is derived from the banks by way of accommodation, that the average amount of the discounts by all the banks of issue are estimated not to exceed 4,000,000/. By way of contrast, the number of joint-stock banks in Scotland is 29, with a paid-up capital of 9,000,0001. ; de posits, bmaaknksinghat‘h-ee s ir oo cu xo latio t n, 340 branches, and the Irish 137, being in the former case one tl s tal its, b 2 anrinrmea lq ns all3d9c , bank to every 7,750 persons, and in the latter one to every 60,000. The banking capital of Scotland is 151. per head to the whole population, and in Ireland 11 . 18s. 6d. p er head. These are, certainly, singular contrasts , and in dicate a widel y different state of society in the two sections of the empire. The Committee endeavour to bring all these facts and de ductions to bear against the special privileges which have been conferred upon the Bank of Ireland, and for this pur pose they have evidently drawn the contrast with Scotland, where banking_ has been left entirely free. That they make out some very strong points against the monopoly of the Bank of Ireland is undeniable, but the main cause of Ireland being so far behind in the race, compared with Scotland, is much deeper seated than banking monopoly, and must be socght for in another direction.—Herald. The 38th annual meeting of this Society was held yester day in the great room of Exeter-hall. Lord J. Russell, M.P., presided. The centre of the hall was densely crowded by Dissenters and members of the Society of Friends ; and amongst those on the platform we observed Lord Monteagle, Admiral Sir E. Codrington, Sir C. Lemon, Bart., M.P. ; Mr. D. Barclay, M.P. ; Mr. S. Marjaribanks, M.P. ; Mr. C. Hindley, M.P. ; Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. W. Tooke, Rev. J. Burnet, Rev. Dr. Morrison, Rev. J. Shurman, a German missionary from Benares ; Rev. W. Arthur, from Mysore, &c. The Noble ChAnt3imr, after briefly explaining the origin and objects of the Society, proceeded to say, that at no time within his recollection had the great cause which they were then assembled to advocate been brought before the public under such favourable auspices or with se fair a prospect of a happy issue. The propriety of educating the people was no longer a problematical question. Men of all parties were agreed as to its necessity, however much they differed as to the mode in which it could be most effectually accomplished. Upon that point those who formed this Institution bad never entertained any doubt whatever. They had long felt the want of a system of education which should comprehend every denomination of persons, and their only difficulty was how that want was to be remedied. They had two points to consider. The first was the existing . means—the next, the inadequacy of those means, and in what way that deficiency, could be supplied. They found that the State, as a State, took no charge of theeducation of the people. The Church, if it had the inclination, had not the means wherewith to establish a great national system; but even if it had these means, there we)many without the pale of the Church who were not likely to avail themselves of such a provision, for reasons to which he should not then more par ticularly advert. It was proper here to remark, that there wee• endowments applicable to educational purposes, which might perhaps have been made available, but owing to the will of the founders it was found impossible to apply those funds in a practically useful manner; they did not apply to the purposes of general education. It was, therefore, found necessary to provide a substitute by means of voluntary subscriptions. That Society had grown up out of the vo luntary principle. Amongst its earliest supporters were his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, whose death they had re cently to deplore, his own lamented father, the Duke of Bedford, Lord Brougham, and that great and good man, William Allen, whose benevolence and philanthropy had through a long and useful life associated him with every in stitution which had for its object the improvement of man kind. It was under such auspices that the Society had commenced operations. Its objects were, in the first place, to provide the people with the means of scriptural instruc • Lien; in the next, to secure to them the advantages of secular knowledge. The next question was, how these ends could be attained so as to include the greatest number of the people ? As had been truly observed, the people of England were a Protestant people—it was no less true that the Bible was the religion of Protestants ; therefore, by giving them the Bible, in that sense all could unite. With respect to secular education, he saw no reason why it should not be carried to the greatest extent, provided the means were ade quate. The Society had existed, he believed, thirty-eight years, and during that time great improvements had taken place ; owing to the example set by the Society schools were established where they had not previously existed. In three or four years after the formation of that Society the Church interested itself in the cause ; the schools of the National Education Society were formed, he would not say in rivalry, but they were put in juxta-position with those of that Society. During the last year the means of education had been con siderably increased, the details of Which would be learned from the report. The efforts made by public bodies had stimulated individual exertion; and here he had the hap piness to inform the meeting, that his Royal Highness Prince Albert, whose enlightened views on the subject of education must endear him to the people of this country, had contri buted a donation of 100/. to be applied to the purposes of the Society.—(Loud cheers.) . His (Lord J. Russell's) brother, the President of the Society, had also sent his annual sub scription of 100 guineas.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble Lord expressed his ardent hope that the Society would go on and prosper—that by giving the word of God with sound and useful knowledge to the poor child; he might become worthy of a Christian country and a free State. The SECRETARY then read the report, which commenced with a tribute of respect to the services of the late Mr. W. Allen, the Treasurer, and announced that Mr. S. Gurney had accepted that office. During the past year 781 boys and 450 girls had been admitted into the parent school in the Bo rough-road. The total number received since the commence ment were-27,140 boys, and 16,162 girls ; total, 43,303. The normal schools were represented to be in a state of great effi ciency. The report then adverted to the Society's foreign operations in France, Russia, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Ca nada, Africa, the East and West Indies, &c. Mr. S. GURNEY read the financial statement; the receipts of the year (including her Majesty's annual subscription of 1001., and 1001. donation from the Fishmongers' Company), amounted to 1,081/. ls. There was a balace of 6041. in favour of the Society at the beginning of the year, to meet liabilities amounting to 8401. Lord MONTEAGLE moved the adoption of the report. The principle wisely adopted by the Society was to afford the means of education without the compromise of conscientious feeling. They were only following out, in that respect, the fundamental principles of the Reformation. No man was called upon to surrender the right of private judgment, but so to use his privileges as not to offend the judgment of others. Sir C. LitaioN, in seconding the motion, observed that there was one part of the report in which he did not agree. It was said that a system of national and combined education Was hopeless. He trusted that such a system would yet prevail. The Rev. G. CLAYTON moved the next resolution, expres ' sive of congratulation at the extensive efforts made by the different denominations of Christians i 4 favour of elementary education. He was not disposed to treat education in the light of a denominational question. The ministers of religion, no matter of what teed, were not likely to have worse hearers from the enlightenment of the people. He trusted that he should live to see one general system, without any compro raise.of the rights of conscience. Sectarianism was bad eaough in adults, but the young snould not be made to regard each other with antipathy. Mr. J. SiIEPIIERD seconded the motion. The Rev. W. Anraun, in moving the next resolution, pledging the meeting to increased efforts for the promotion of education in foreign countries, and in the British colonies more especially, entered into details relating to the state of education in British India, where he stated that the grossest ignorance prevails. The Rev. A. SHURMAN, from Benares, who seconded the motion, bore testimony to the degraded state of ignorance in the Indian empire. The Rev. J. BURNET moved that the respectful thanks of the meeting be accorded to her Majesty for her gracious pa tronage of the Society, and to his Royal Highness Prince Albert for his munificent donation. The Rev. Gentleman said that the Church had offered to take the trouble of edu cating the people off the Society's hands; but as they had preferred adhering to the voluntary principle, it was the duty of the Society to exert itself in that good cause. He was nut inclined to blame Sir James Graham for having set them the task; but the State would have ajust right to condemn them should they leave the country uneducated. Sir E. CoDRINGTON seconded the motion. Mr. D. BARCLAY, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, as President of the Society, and to Lord John Russell for taking the chair on that occasion. Mr. W. TOOKE seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. Lord J. RUSSELL acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated.

If the improvements taking place in the east end of the metropolis are to be continued to the narrow streets of Wapping, the sooner they aro commenced the better for the respectable portion of the neighbourhood. Since the re moval of the business of the old Thames Police-office, another wharf has been erected near this spot, the approaches to which are very narrow, and this place presents a continuous scene of disgraceful disturbance. On Saturday, during the forenoon, the thoroughfare was completely blocked up, and a hackney cab was overturned upon the pavement. The swearing and abusive language of the sabmen and others was so shameful, that the children and all juvenile members of society, who always congregate on those occa sions, cannot faillto be dreadfully demoralised by such conduct. Surely there ought to be some efficient remedy found for the increasing evil. Should not the wharfingers be sailed upon to abate the nuisance ? Or is it not a duty on the part of the parochial authorities to call upon the Commissioners of Polite to attend to the removal of it ? Bras Tor., 3,lo>rDAv.—lnformation has just reached this city of the loss of the above vessel, plying between this city and Newport. The Severn and the Avon are two new vessels lately put on the station by a new company, Messrs. Stothert, Slaughter, and Co. They were propelled by the Archime dian screw, and by high pressure engines, and they have only been running about three weeks. It is necessary to explain that there is a very strong current setting in with the tide at the spot where the Severn was moored, near the Newport bridge in the river Usk, and it is customary to swing round the head of the vessel as soon as her cargo is discharged, in order to be read for steaming off with the tide, but on this occasion such precaution was not adopted, owing to there being so 'little water in the river on the arrival of the vessel, that she took to the ground before her cargo could be got out. Whilst she lay in the river a new screw was substituted fur the old one, and that only a few minutes before the vessel attempted to get under way, the screw was all clear, but on the captain giving the word of command to " reverse" the engine, and almost at the same moment to "let go the stern rope," it was found that the screw would not act. The vessel was, therefore, drifted rapidly with the tide, and in a few minutes struck against the sharp angle of the bridge, which made a " dent" in the bow ; the water began to flow in, and the p um p s were set to work, but she rebounded, and agai n struck broadside against the bridge with such farce , th at it was almost mira culous she did not turn right over.

Yesterday the annual meeting of the members of thi s So ciety, whic , l has for its object the preservation o f th e fi s hi ng in the river Thames, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street. Henry Perkins, Esq., presided. The report read by the Secretary stated that much had been ef fected during the year towards carrying out the objects of the Society, and that through the exertions of the bailiffs ten convictions had taken place for illegal trespasses, &c. It appeared that the total receipts for 1843 were 130/. 10s. ; and for 1844, 228/. 10s. 6d. The financial statement for his former year was not read at the last annual meeting, in con sequence of the absence of the treasurer. It appears that there is at present a balance against the Society of 661. 10s. sd. After the usual business the meeting separated. A singular case of bigamy has been discovered in Liverpool. A married woman, named Mar6ret M'Neal, living with her husband,, got married with his consent, about three years ago, to their lodger, named Michael De vinne, and they have since lived happily all together. The woman when taken into custody had a Child in her arms. THE MONSTER BELL.—Subscriptions amounting to about 800/. have been received towards the great bell at York, which is to be christened the Great Peter Bell. It is to weigh ten tons and not eight, as at first intended. A gentleman subscriber has offered an additional sub scription of 11. for every cwt. above eight tons, more to con sequently by this alteration he will have pity.—Leed , s Times. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The Standard Life Assurance Company has already divided Profits among its Policy-holders upon two different occasions, at 15th of November, 1835, being ten years from the commencement of the business, and at 15th of November, 1840, being five years from the first division. The future periodical divisions of profits will be made at inter vals of five years; the next, or third period, being the I3th of November, 1845. A Bonus, when vested, may be added to the original sum as sured, or the value of the Bonus may be received in money, or a corresponding reduction will be made from the future annual premiums, at the option of the party assuring.

By observing carefully the scale of Additions, it will be per. ceived that the greatest comparative advantage is derived by those Assurers whose Policies are upheld by the Company for the longest period—a result which is produced by the particular principle of division which has been adopted, the measure of an Assurer's claim at each period being the number of years the Policy has existed. THIS SYSTEM IS SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH IS ACTED UPON BY THE EQUITABLE SOCIETY IN THE CASE OF ITS PRIVILEGED POLICYHOLDERS. No scheme can be offered conferring greater advantages upon good lives, and it is particularly suitable to those persons who effect Assurances with the intention of continuing them for the benefit of their families.

The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other hitherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful diseases, gout, r'eumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbag o, sciatica, &c , is so fully manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimony of thousands in every rank of life, that those who are aware of the ex istenee of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying its efficacy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. The testmonials of the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied by the fact that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administra tion, but that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medi cine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease; and in all cases of acute suffering great relief is experienced in a few hours, and a cure is generally effected in two or three days.

His mother was a dau g hter of James Best , Esq. , of the same count y , and he is brother to the late Baronet, the Rev. Sir Charles Hardinge, whose son succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1836. At an early age he evince.' a strong disposition for a military life—a disposition which his parents, with praiseworthy discernment, thought fit to encourage, and he was therefore educated with much care for the noble profession . in which he so soon and so gr eatly distinguished himself. Ills valuable services in Spain and Portugal are repeatedly .the subject of warns com mendation in the dispatches of his illustrious commander ; and at that momentous crisis in European affairs when the Prince of Orange proposed levying a r large body of troops, it was to Captain Hardinge that Lord W ellington recommended his Royal Highness to apply for counsel . and assistance. Sir aleenry-was present in person at the following actions or battles, at each o,f which he more or less distinguished himself, re ceiving several severe wound! :—Busaco, Albuera, Badajoz, Salamanca, Vittoria, the I yrenees, Nivelle, Nive, and Orthes ; he was also at Waterloo, and at the terrific engage ment at Ligny he lost his left arm, fur which he receives a pension of 3001. For his services in the Peninsular he was rewarded with a cross and five clasps, and from 1809 to 1813 he was Deputy -Q ua rtermaster - General of the Portuguese army. He has likew ise received several foreign orders. In 1827 he married the sixth daughter of the first Marquis of Londonderry, relict of John James, Es q ., an d mot h er of the present Sir W. James, ar Bt, M.P. In 1823 he was a ppointed Clerk of the Ordnance, which office he continued to fill until 1818, when he was made Secretary-at-War. In 1830 lie was appointed to the i m portant post of Secretary for Ireland, which he resigned at the dissolution of the Duke of Wel lington's Administration, and in 1834, during the brief Ad ministration of Sir Robert Peel, he was again selected to fill that office. On the accession of the Conservatives to power in 1841 he was re-appointed Secretary-at-War. Sir Henry became a Lieutenant -General in the, army in November, and obtained the Colonelcy of the 57th- Foot in 1833. He has represented several boroughs in Parliament, but has sat for Launces t o n since 1832. He is known to have long enjoyed,the intimate personal friendship and esteem of the Duke of Wellington. DREADFUL ACCIDENT...7A most dreadful accident occurred yesterday in a colliery near Llanolly. It ap pears from the particulars we , have been able to gather, that between two an d three o clock yesterday afternoon, the engine in the r enbwlchgwyn colliery, about two miles from Llanelly, caught fire. After a short ti m e the engine, with a tremendous crash, MI into the pit, shut ting out every chance of escape for the hundred men and children who were working in the pit. All at tempts to put out the flames were vain. Exertions to extricate th© sufferers were used incessantly, but at eight o'clock last night not one of them was got out of the pit. It is much to be feared, therefore, that every soul has perished. — Welshman of Saturday. TILE EARL or RIPON.—We are happy to state that the Noble President of the Board of Control has nearly re covered from his late attack of illness. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tiubltt Optriton. " Who runs may read." • FOREIGN. On Friday, the King of the French, the Queen, and Royal Family, accompanied the Duchess of Kent to Versailles. A handsome collation was served up at the palace immediately on the arrival of the Royal party; after which they visited the Royal galleries, the chapel, the theatre, and the pleasure grounds. The Royal party returned to Paris at nine o'clock in the evening, The Duchess of Kent was to leave Paris on the 9th, when the Royal Family would take up their residence at Neuilly for the season. The fall of the Spanish Ministry excites no surprise at Paris, as it was generally foreseen. On Saturday the Cour Royale heard the appeal of M. Felix Piat, the proprietor of the Itifonne, and M. Grandmenil, the editor, against a conviction pronounced against them for a libel on M. Jules Janin, contained in a criticism upon one of that popular writer's last works. The Cour Royale confirmed the judgment of the Court below, by which M. Felix Piat was accordingly adjudged to six months imprisonment and 1,000 francs of damages, and M. Grandmenil to 3,000 francs damages and one year's imprisonment. The French Government have determined to discontinue the Transatlantic steam packets which were established at Havre, and to adapt the steamers for the service of the navy. LAW AND POLICE. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, William Gilbert _ was op posed on the ground that he had committed broaches of trust against the parties who had employed him as a com mercial traveller. The insolvent had been engaged by a person named End as a traveller, and had received large sums on account of his employer and others, who had en gaged him in a similar capacity. The insolvent petitioned the Court of Bankruptcy under the new Act, when his peti tion was dismissed on the ground for which he was now op posed—namely, that he had incurred debts by means of breaches of trust. The Chief Commissioner said two distinct cases had been proved; one was to 2001., and the insolvent would be remanded. The imprisonment he had already undergone would be considered. At the Central Criminal Court Wm. Carrell, aged 48, was convicted of stealing, on the 2d of January, 70 sovereigns, and four Bank of England notes, value 5/. each, the property of James Ford, and was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Wm. Henry Whitfield, a commercial traveller, who was remanded from.the last session, was indicted for embezzling and stealing the sums of 81. 65., 71. 65., and 21. 10s., in the month of October, November, and December last, which he had' ceived on account of Messrs. Reader, Stukely, and Co., his employers. There was a second indictment charging the prisoner with similar purloinings. He pleaded guilty to both charges. He was sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for 18 months, and kept at hard labour. At Bow-street, Wm. Nix, an errand-boy, aged 15 years, in the service of Mr. John Ward, treasurer to the Infant School Society, was brought before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing Si. 103., belonging to his master. The prosecutor wished to decline proceeding against the prisoner, as it was his first offence, and his friends were very respectable. Mr. Hall said his duty would not be , performed if he did not commit the prisoner for trial ; and it would rest with the Court to con sider the prosecutor's reconunendation in his behalf. The prisoner declined to say anything, and was removed to Newgate. Wm. Burton Newenham, charged at Clerkenwell with the abduction of Miss Frances Louisa Wortham, was fully com mitted to Newgate, and will be tried during the present sessions. 001:111T—rAssioNzsza s. Her Majesty's banquet to-morrow evening, at Buckingham Palace, will be given to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The performance of the Concert of Ancient Music being under the direction of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, he has engaged Madame Caradori Allan and Mrs. A. Shaw, Misses Rainforth and Dolby, Signori Mario Lablache, Salvi. and Mr. H. Harrison. Her Majesty is ex pected to honour the performance with her presence. Earl Fitzwilliam, the Ladies Wentworth Fitzwilliam, and the Hon. G. W. Fitzwilliam, M.P., have arrived at Mortimer House from Milton Park, near Peterborough. In consequence of the somewhat sudden death of Lady Stanley's brother, the Hon. Sir R. Bootle Wilbraham, M.P., the dinner and, evening party appointed for Saturday next, will not now take place. Lord Alexander Russell's marriage with Miss Holmes, daughter of Lady Worsley Holmes, and the late Sir Leonard Holmes, Bart., is on the eve of being solemnized. The nup tials will not be celebrated in town, but at Lady Worsley Holmes's seat at the Isle of Wight. The Dowager Duchess of Bedford has gone to Newport to visit Lord Alexander Rus sell, who is staying there with his regiment. The Earl of Winchilse,a and the members of the Lincoln shire Club gave their anniversary dinner at the Clarendon Hotel, on Friday, when there were also present Sir John Trollope, M.P. Sir R. Sheffield, Mr. J. Banks Stanhope, Mr. Handley, gr. Vere Pane, Lieutenant-General Reyuard son, &c. The Earl and Countess of Warwick, with Lord Brooke and Lady Caroline Neeld, have returned to Warwick Castle, from Bath. The Noble Earl, notwithstanding his visit to that city for the advantage of its waters, continues in a very indif ferent state of health. The Earl and Countess of Eglintoun, during the present week, w:11 receive a distinguished circle at Eglintoun Castle, Ayrshire during the races. The. Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford have arrived on a visit to the Noble Earl and ' Countess. The Marquis of Salisbury has left town for Hatfield House, Herts, in order to be at the assembli of Marquisehe South Harts Yeomanry, of which corps the Noble is Colonel Com mandant. The Marchioness of Clanricarde contemplated giving two grand balls to the beau monde, to introduce her daughter, Lady Elizabeth de Burgh, into fashionable society ; but, in con sequence of the death of the Duchess of Portland, aunt of the Marchioness, these parties have been put off for a time. ICISCEISMANEOUS. The third concert of the Societe Armonica took place last night at the Hanover-square Rooms, and there was an ample attendance of visitors. Miss Rainforth, Signer Salvi, and a Signor Pergetti were the vocalists. In a duet of Donizetti's there was some misunderstanding between the singers . and the accompanyist, and a break dowdlekearly ensue--the diffi"ulty however was got over, and they came smoothly to an end. Signor Pergetti is a male soprano—a class of singers, after the experiences in Velluti, not likely to be tolerated again in this country. The lady of Sit Neil Douglas, Commandant of the Forces in Scotland, presented new colours to the 26th Cameronians, on Ffiday last, on Bruntsfield Links, Edinburgh, after having been consecrated in the usual manner, by the Rev. Professor Lee. The soldiers were entertained at dinner in the Palace-square, at the castle, and a ball and supper were given in honour of the event, by the officers, to about 500 of the elite of the city and neighbourhood. A conditidnal order for a mandamus directing Mr. Board, of Trinity College, Dublin, to admit a gentleman, named Heron, of the Roman Catholic persuasion, as a scholar, was obtained a few days ago in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, and excites a good deal of anxiety as to its result, especially as it is said Mr. Longfield, one of the fellows of College, and a gentleman of some celebrity at the bar, has given his pro fessional opinion that Papists are eligible to scholarships. IRELAND. • THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, MAY s.—The Attorney-General did not conclude for some time after the departure of the mail yesterday . afternoon. In consequence of the introduction by him of entirely. new matter, Mr. Whiteside, on the part of the tra versers, applied to the Court to allow counsel on their be half to reply, so far as the new cases, introduced, contrary to arrangement, were concerned.—The Attorney-General re sisted the application, and Mr. Justice Burton intimated that the Court would determine the point to-morrow (Monday) morning. If the traversers should be permitted to reply, the decision of the Court on the new-trial motion could scarcely be given before Tuesday. Term ends on the next day (Wednesday). Supposing that the Judges should refuse a new trial, and that the Crown should resist the right of the traversers to move an arrest of judgment, on the technical point of a want of notice, which the Orange party boast they will do—even in this supposed course of precipitancy on the part of the Crown, the Court could scarcely be in time to pronounce sentence upon the traverqere within this term, although the Judges were to sit till the last minute allowed by law. The Attorney-General is now endeavouring to arrive at the judgment with railroad speed. The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a church of the established religion took place on Monday morning, at ten o'clock, in the presence of a number of clergymen, resident gentry, and above forty-five vestrymen of the united parishes of St. Giles'-in-the-Fields, and St. George's, Bloomsbury. The site chosen for the sacred edifice is adjacent to the St. Giles's workhouse, and the frontage will command a prominent view of the new streets and metro politan improvements running from Waterloo-bridge to the British Museum. OLYMPIC THEATIM—Last night Mr. E. L. Blan chard, the son of the once-favourite actor, had his benefit at this theatre, as author of many successful pieces which have been performed at the Olympic, and at other theatres. The bill of fare was most abundant, and consisted for the most part of performances written by Mr. Blanchard, interspersed with dances of various kinds. The Road of Life took the lead, on completing its hundredth night ; next came a new interlude, written for the occasion, called the Invisible Client ; then Polichinello in Italy, in which the part of Punch was admirably pantomimed by Mons. Stilt •, and lastly, the burlesque of Cinderella. The house was filled with an audi ence that seemed pleased with their entertainment. TEACHING BARBARIANS HUMANITY.--Lieutenant Greenwood, in his " Campaign in Affghanistan," speaks with horror of " A ffghan ferocity." and relates an illus trative anecdote Rhyberee boy, aged six years, was observed by a British soldier handling a large knife, and endeavouring to hack off the head of a dead colour sergeant, for his private amusement ! " There is a ferocity about these Affghans," observes the tender hearted lieutenant, " which they seem to ) imbibe with their mother's milk." And then, to show our add superiority he ove r the barbarou s tribes of Asia, he s :—" T young urchin was so completely absorbed in his savage task, that be heeded not the near approach of the soldier, who coolly took him up on his! bayonet and threw him over the cliff."
