HIGH WATER AT LONDON-ERIDGE THIS DAY. Morning ... 4 minutes after 4 I Evening ... 2S minutes after 4 nexion, and enable then, by conduct and industry, to elevate themselves in the social scale. This will be at once laying the axe to the root of the evil, for nearly one-half the sufferings which the labouring poor experience—their uniform poverty, their pe riodically recurring seasons of absolute destitu tion, their dirt, their immorality, and the want of self-respect that too often marks their character ; all those evils may be traced to their exceeding ignorance, which prevails among them to an extent that no one would believe who had not read the recently published Parliamentary Re pors on the subject. From the speeches lately made by Lord WHARNCLIFTE at Leeds and elsewhere, we infer that Government will take an early opportunity, next session, of turning its attention to this important question of national education, which can no longer be postponed with safety to the interests of the community. A huge blue book has just been issued from the Vote-office, entitled, "Report of the Select Com mittee on New Zealand." It comprises —First. The Report (14 pages), terminating with a series of nine teen declaratory "Resolutions." Secondly. A de tailed account :of the proceedings of the Committee, occupying 16 pages. Thirdly. The evidence of fif teen witnesses ;-4,721 questions and answers, ex tending through 252 pages. Fourthly. An Appendix of Papers, Documents, Dispatches, &c., 500 pages. And, fifthly, an Index, 74 pages. We are thus par ticular in . setting out the statistics of contents (and these appear to be by no means " superficial " ones), in order to justify our confession that, of thisf enormous mass of matter, we have hitherto found time to peruse only the Report. And a most im portant, remarkable, and surprising digest it is o revelations among the most incredible that ever attested the excesses to which the reckless spirit of money-making, per fas aut nefas—the pertinacious obstinacy of communities in pushing forward a , fa vourite object against all remonstrance, au th o rity, or ` prudence, where no one individual, in particular, can be saddled with the whole responsibility of pressing it forward and the timidity or apathy of one Government, and the rashness and, impatience of an other, in dealing with the self-same interests—may be pushed. The instruction to the Select Committee was in these terms :—" To inquire into the state of the colony of New Zealand, and the proceedings of the New Zealand Company.". They appear, although profoundly sensible to the "extraordinary" difficulty and delicacy of the task imposed upon them, to have addressed themselves to it boldly, but dispassionately. They have not shirked the duty because it was an invidious one, nor spared the expression of their opinions on the policy and deportment of the British Government with regard to the occupation of, or the possessory title to, New Zealand, and the pretensions of the New Zealand Company. Our readers will remember, probably, that we have contended, in former articles on the affairs of New Zealand, that the normal error of a former Colonial Government consisted in not availing itself, in the first instance— if New Zealand colonisation by British subjects was to be encouraged at all—of the sound and undoubted title of priority of discovery. We denied the right which that Company assumed in its outset of settling the lands of the islands composing this now recog nised colony before they themselves had derived any title under grant from the Crown to the allotments which they undertook to dispose of to intending emi grants ; and we expressed our astonishment at the vacillating demeanour of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, who, after denying their responsibility for the acts of the Company to the settlers who had purchased or located on the faith of their validity, and in so far invalidating such transactions, or rather the contracts under which they had occurred, as to have declared that the islands were independent, and presented them with a national flag, subsequently erected New Zea land into a British colony. We might have added, that they subsequently submitted their conflicting claims to all the unoccupied lands of the colony, with those of the New Zealand Company, to the arbitra tion of a third party, a private gentleman, under whose award the Company is entitled to an immense extent of territory which, in their turn, they are now complainants at being debarred from. We perceive that these our views are fully borne out by the Re port of the Select Committee, and especially by the " Resolutions" appended to it, to the declarations embodied in which we shall very speedily recur. It is our painful duty, too, to repeat the conviction, fortified by the Report before us, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is chargeable with great want of statesman like consideration and ministerial energy in having confined, in the first instance, his restraining inter ference with the mischievous and illegal pretensions of the New Zealand Company to mere remonstrances and warning, and to his having afterwards' given effect to their unwarrantable assumptions by acts of quasi recognition and acknowledgment on the part of the Government to which he belonged. Had the rights of the Crown been more distinctly asserted, the unauthorised operations of the Company more vigorously put down, there is much probability that the fatal massacre at Wairau would not have after wards occurred; for the unfortunate misunderstand- ings and prepossessions of the natives as to the right of property, on their side, to unreclaimed or unoccu pied lands, could not, in that case, have been pre . . _ cipitated. The instructions to Governor Honsox, however, were founded on an admission of these pre possessions, in the native mind, the same which per vaded the native mind on the conclusion of the treaty of Waitangi. But if we are compelled to impute error of judgment in these matters to the late Minis- ter for the Colonies, we cannot exempt Lord STANLEY, his successor in the present Administra tion, from a degree of passive apathy or indifference in dealing with the whole of this momentous ques tion. This torpidity seems at other times to have been replaced by an irritable testiness—an impatience, as it were, of a distasteful subject, which augured far more unfavourably for the future interests and permanent welfare of the young colony, than his predecessor's lack of decision, accompanied, as that was, by declarations of a sincere and cordial interest in its advancement. Altogether, it is evident that the proceedings of two Governments with regard to New Zealand and the New Zealand Company, have been a tissue of ill-informed, ill-considered, and dis- crepant legislation, from 1830 or 1832 to the present time. May the experience of its entangled results serve to avert from other colonies the mischiefs of similar treatment; and from future small capitalists and intending emigrants similar frauds, cruelty, and ruin, to those charged against the Broad-street-build- ings Direction. But we shall recur to this subject forthwith. Madrid journals of the 4th instant, announce that the discussion on the Reform Bill had closed, and the Bill passed by a majority of 124 to 46. The follow ing are the other Bills to be introduced during the present session :—A Bill for the maintenance of the clergy and public worship. Another respecting the support of nuns. A third respecting church property, which proposes that all which formerly belonged to the Church, and which remains unsold, shall be re stored to the Church. The sales already made are not to be' disturbed. A fourth Bill is for the con version of the Floating debt, contracts, &c., into Three per Cent stock. Nothing certain was known respecting the retreat of ZURBANO. He was said, according to some reports, to be within a few leagues of the Portuguese frontier, and, according to others, concealed in Madrid. A letter from Herce, of the 28th ult., gives the follow ing particulars of the return of his wife and daughter in-law, from their fruitless visit to Madrid : " Yesterday, at seyeti in the evening, the wife of Zur bano and the wife of her son Benito entered the olive grove near Armedillo. They were accompanied by a priest. The wife of Zurbano was on foot, and her daughter-in-law, who is in the last month of her preg nancy, was on an ass. During the preceding two nights, which had been dreadfully cold, these poor women crossed the mountains. The Alcalde of Armedillo, being informed that the ladies desired to speak to him, went immediately to the grove, and being informed by them that they were anxious to proceed as rapidly as possible to Logrono, he hastened to place at their disposal two of the best mules of the town; and at the same time pro vided them with everything necessary. He also sent some of the inhabitants armed to protect them. At the little village of St. Vincent they were no longer able to bear up against the cold, and took shelter in a house, where a good fire was made for them, and refreshments were provided, but they were in such a state of ex haustion that they could not partake of them. On the following day they arrived at Logreno. The wife of Don Benito had heard that her husband was taken near the inn of Tamarices ' and that he was to be shot at Lo grono, It appears that Don Benito had been three days without food, and that in venturing forth to obtain some ho was captured." MADRID BOURSE, DEC. 4.—Three per Cents., for cash, 31 ; for account, 31k. Five per Cents., for account, 21i. The new loan forms almost the only topic of dis cussion in the Paris papers ; and it is curious to see the different views taken of the subject by the Minis terial and Opposition journals. The former express the utmost surprise and delight at the high price given by the ROTIISCUILDS ; while the latter say there is nothing surprising in the matter, and the price is much below what might have been expected. There may be some truth in the remark, but the writers in these journals can claim no merit for this marked rise in the credit of the country. They have been eternally stirring up the French people against "perfidious Albion," and had their purposes been carried into effect, or France placed in the situation she was when M. Tams was Minister, we doubt much if the Three per Cents. would have stood even at 65f., or about 201. lower than they are at present. Such has been the effect of the rational policy of the KING and his Minister. The Message,' consequently may be allowed thus to boast of the result :—" This is a new proof of the confidence inspired by the KING'S Government. It is shown, we think, not merely in the price at which the adjudication was made, but also in the offer of the other Company which tendered, and -which is alike composed of - honourable men, whose experience and caution are well known. This is certainly a double proof of general confidence, and the progress of pub lic credit. The adjudication of the loan, under such conditions, is an important fact in the administration of M. LATLAGZ{E, and the country which has long acknowledged his experience and prudent skill, will preserve . the remembrance of it." " To form a clearer idea," says the Journal des Debar, " of the advantage resulting to the State from this negotiation, its rate must be compared with that of the loan of 150 millions issued in 1841. That was effected at 78f. 521 c., and there was besides alMost the whole gain of a coupon of six months' interest, or If. 50c. It is therefore 77f. that ought to be placed in comparison with 84f. 86c. But this_high quotation of French stock in no way surprises us. It is not alone on account of the prudence of the French Go vernment, and the excellent policy of order and peace to which it adheres more and more firmly, that it is to be attributed. French stock has not been, up to the present time, at its natural level. The difference of 18f., which existed - ,oven some days back, between the prices of French and English stock, is not justified. liThen the English Threes are above par, the French Threes cannot remain about 80.. .„ t The following extract from the Commerce will afford a fair specimen of the dissatisfaction expressed at the result by the Opposition press:— " We have been told that the Minister of Finances was quite elated when he proclaimed the price it which the loan was taken. He reminded the company present that the 150,000,000 f. last issued was only at 76f. 75c., while the 200,000,000 f. then called for had found takers at the real price of 82f. 45c., a profit to the public of sf. 70c., of whieh the present Government claimed the honour. It would have been quite. enough to impose silence on the Ministerial vanity to have called to his recollection, that previous to 1840 the Three per Cents. of France were at 36, while the same stock of England was at 92 ; ard that yesterday the French Stock was under 84, while in England the Three Per Cents. had reached par, without the dividend. What could our statesman hare answered to this comparison, which shows a difference in the prices of the French and Eng lish Funds to have been formerly 6f. per cent., and at the present day 141, At all events, the duration of the Minister's satisfaction can have been only very transi• tory, and he must have felt some shame on seeing the new loan immediately up at nearly three francs higher than he had obtained. ' THE WEST INDIA MAIL. ARRIVAL OF THE AVON, AND LOSS OF THE ACTJEON. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 12.—The Royal Mail Com pany's steam-ship Avon, Captain Strutt, arrived here at ten o'clock this day, bringing all the West Indian, &c., mails—those from the following places up to the dates expressed against them, viz. :—Tampico, to Oct. 26 ; Vera Cruz, to Nov. 2; Havannah, to the 10th ; Demerara, to the 3d ; Trinidad, to the sth ; Grenada, to the 10th ; St. Thomas, to the 15th ; and Bermuda, to the 23d, being the day of the Avon's departure thence. She has brought on freight, it is believed, the largest amount of specie ever shipped from the east ern coast of Mexico in one bottom, viz., 2,078.739} dollars (268,067 of which are on account of the Mexicaa dividends); 6001 ounces of gold dust, &c.; 2,679 ounces silver in masses ; 991 b. 4oz. platina and Plata Brute ; 108 serons cochineal ; 23 serous purga de jalapa ; 3 serons gum copal. Also seventeen passengers, five Government ditto, two wrecked seamen, one invalid, together with the crew of the late steamer Actaeon, belonging to this company. The Avon was four days overdue, but it was partly occasioned by some unavoidable delay and head winds. The mails left for London by the eleven o'clock train, and no doubt will be delivered this afternoon. The railway authorities at Southampton delayed the eleven o'clock train upwards of ten minutes, to enable the. mails to be dispatched by it. We are sorry to record the total loss of the Ac taion steam-ship, belonging to the Royal Mail Company, which took place on the morning of the 20th of October, under the following circum stances :—She was rounding the Punta Canoa, at eight in the morning, the Pops or high land within the city being S.S.E. The Actveon steering south, struck at 8.40, upon a sunken rock, supposed to be the Negrillo, but which, according to the chart, should have been nearer the land than the ship then was. Immediately she struck, the captain, with the view of lightening her, ordered the boilers to be blown off; but without effect till about 30 minutes afterwards. A swell of the sea then lifted her off, when it soon became evident that, in spite of every exertion, she could not be kept long afloat. Sail was then made to force her on shore, or into shallow water. Precisely, however, at 20 minutes past 11 According to the Neu, Zurich. Gazette of the 7th, great excitement prevailed among the rural popula tion of Basle against the Jestiits, and that the people have held a meeting, at which they resolved to march to Lucerne if the admisston of the Jesuits should be finally decided on. The authorities of Berne have marched a considerable force towards the frontier, a, a measure of precaution, in consequence of the excite ment at Lucerne. she went down in 6} fathoms. The captain, officers, and crew, on this trying emergency, behaved with the most praiseworthy courage. Every one was cairn and collected, and the orders of the captain were obeyed with readiness and punctuality. He was the last to leave the ill- fisted vessel. All hands were safely got into the boats, and steered for Carthagena, from which they were about nine miles distant. They landed in safety, and were hospitably received by the autho rities. The French Three per Cents. closed on Tuesday at 851. 15c. for cash, -and 85f. 40c. for account. The new loan was quoted"at 86f. 90c. THE BOURSE—TuEsDAT, Dim. 10. First Highest Lowest Last Price.

That gentleman, in his anxiety to do his duty, lost the whole of his wardrobe and other effects. A small quantity of stores was also secured. There were only three passengers on board at the time of the disaster. It was ♦ery fortunate that at the moment of the wreck taking place the weather was moderate. An hour previously, however, it had been blowing a gale. The Actreon makes the fourth vessel lost since the establishment of the Royal Mail Steam Company, being a quarter of the number of steam-ships it has afloat. They are—the Medina, the Isis, the Solway (in which so many lives were sacrificed), and now this unfortunate ship completes the number. The Action, however, was the smallest of the four, being only 600 tons burthen. Her value, exclusive of stores, &c., was about 25,000/. She plied between the various islands for the intercolonial mails. This unfortunate disaster ha 4 caused the greatest sympathy to be felt for the company in the town of Southampton, and no doubt it will be generally re ciprocated elsewhere. The loss of the three other vessels was a great pecuniary blow to this spirited company, and now that all the vessels are in good working trim, makes their voyage with the greatest punctuality, and everything has been going on snioothly for some time, this calamity falls upon them with additional force.

Corn-law, as Birmingham is of the Universal Suffrage, agitation. At Manchester are held the general meetings o.t the Anti. Corn-law League, anti here it is that the Com mittee of the League constantly sits. The kindness of a friend procured me admission to the great esta blishment of the League at Manchester, where I had the satisfaction of seeing and hearing much that sur priSed and interested me. George Wilson and other well-known leaders of the League, who were as sembled in the Committee-room, received me as a stranger, with much kindness and hospitality, readily answering all my questions, and making me acquainted with the details of their operations. I could not help asking myself whether in Germany, men, who at tacked, with such talent and energy, the fundamental laws of the State, would not have been long ago shut up in some gloomy prison as conspirators and traitors, instead of being permitted to carry on their operations thus freely and boldly in the broad light of day; and, ' secondly, whether in Germany such men would ever have ventured to admit a stranger into all their secrets with such frank and open cordiality. I was astonished to observe how the Leaguers, all private persons, mostly merchants, manufacturers,. and men of letters, conducted political business, like statesmen and ministers. A talent for public business seems an innate faculty in the English. 'Whilst I was in the Committee-room immense numbers of letters were brought in, opened, read, and answered, without a moment's delay. These letters, pouri ng i n f rom a ll parts of the United Kingdom, we're of the most various contents, some trivial, some important, but all connected with the objects of the party. Some brought news of the movements of eminent Leaguers, or of their opponents ; for the. eye of the League is ever fixed upon the doings both of friend and.enemy. Others contained pecuniary 'contributions from wall wishers of the cause ; for each of whom the president immediately dictated an appropriate letter of thanks. Other letters related anecdotes, showing the progress of the cause, and the gradu a l defection of the farmers, the most resolute supporters of PeeL—Kolirs Travels in England.

Mr. Albert Smith presided. Several extracts from the works of popular authors, and from the speeches of great orators, were given with very great effect by the mem bers of the Society. An address, written for the occa sion by • Mr. Lawrence, was very well delivered by Mr. H. Sanders. The object of the Society is to cultivate among the ,younger inhabitants of the city that which is as much required of them as of any other persons in the metropolis, the art of speaking well in public, which has hitherto been very much neglected, and the want of which has been felt by many of the citizens on their election to civic honours. Speak ing is abundant enough, but good speaking, which the Society is to encourage, very rare. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Moxhay for his kindness in allowing them to hold the meeting in the Hall of Commerce, ansl to Mr: Albert 'Smith, the chairman. The meeting sepa rated at a late hour. NEW ECCLESIASTICAL DISTRICT AT WOOLWICH. —The whole of the arrangements for making the new ecclesiastical district at Woolwich has been completed, and will be submitted to the Queen at the first Council, and it is intended to designate it the district of St. Thomas, Woolwich. The appointment of the clergyman, who will be denothinated perpetual curate, in etimpliance with the Act of Parliament, will be made by the Prime Minister. Woolwich is rapidly increasing in population, the number of inhabitants being now about 28,000. Up wards of 1,000 new houses have been built during the present year, especially at the west end, and they are almost all occupied the moment they are finished, and numerous others are in progress ; and next season is ex pected to be equally prolific in the erection of buildings to meet the 'demands of intended residents.

At this meeting men of all parties were present, Whigs, Tories, and Radicals ; and Sir R. INGLIS and Mr. SHEIL, though wide as the poles asunder on most public questions, yet vied with each other in the heartiness with which they supported the impor tant objects which the Association has at heart. But indeed there was not an individual present who did not speak as if his heart were in the cause which he was advocating ; and we do hope and believe that this Exeter Hall meeting--far different in its tone from the falsely-styled religious ones so often held there prove the commencement of a spirited and comprehensive practical movement for improving the condition of the humbler classes of society, that will at no remote period effect quite a revolutionary &Inge in the thoughts, habits, and feelings of the classes in question. At present there is no gainsay ing the fact that vast masses of them are in the very lowest state of physical and moral degradation, and this abject state has for the last ten years and upwards been slowly and surely on the increase. While the commercial resources of the country have been more anl more developed, and the comforts and luxuries of the upper and middle orders have been multiplied in proportion, no improvement has reached the lower classes, who have been left to carry on, from day to day, the painful and difficult struggle for the bare necessaries of existence, with scarcely any aid from those who should have been their friends and guardians, and have devoted a portion of their own superfluous means to better their condition. The last returns of the Income-tax show a prodigious in crease in the pecuniary resources of the middle classes, but the published reports of the destitute state of the poor too plainly demonstrate that they have in no re spect been bettered thereby. Even the crumbs that fall from DIVES' table have not yet fallen to the share of LAZARUS, But, thank Heaven, society seems at length to be roused to a full consciousness of the evils with which it is beset. A kindlier and more generous tone of feeling than has ever yet been exhibited towards the poor is now springing up in the hearts of their superiors in station ; and the latter will benefit not less than the former by this improved state of feeling. The allotment system—the proposals for public walks and parks, and public bathing-housei, together with many other projected remedial measures that do not just now occur to us—all these are signs and tokens -un equivocally that an excellent spirit is at work in the right direction. But, though individuals may do much, when formed into institutions and associations, towards ameliorating the condition of the destitute poor, yet the evil cannot be fully remedied with out the powerful aid of the Legislature.

The "state of the_ Idoney.Marketis calculated to excite attention just now, capital continuing as abundant as ever, although there are so many new' sources of em ployment constantly opening to it. Trade is certainly not in a speculative sense absorbing much money, for ne one seems inclined to operate till 'after Christmas, but still the steady consumption going on must require a fair amount of capital. We perceive that among other pro jects there is one for forming railroads in British India, but we regret it did not come forward sooner, when the large amount—five millions sterling—stated to be requi site, would have been raised, in preference to that sub scribed. for more doubtful projects. The English Securities have been rather flatter to-day, and there have been a few sales made: This cannot arise from any pressure for money on account of the French Loan, as there will be no - further instalment, it .is said, till next March.

PCOMl:saoxii The King and Queen of the French and the other members of the Royal Family, who were at St. Cloud, arrived at the Tuileries on Monday afternoon, to take up their residence there for the winter. A destructive fire broke out on Sunday morning in the Rue Cadet, Paris, which destroyed property to the amount of 12,0001., and by the fall of a wall one man was killed, and eleven more or less injured. About 300 casks of wine were destroyed. During part of Sunday night there was a fall of snow in Paris, and on Monday morning, at six o'clock, M. Chevalier's thermometer marked a diminution of cold of ' more than two degrees centigrade, as compared with the same hour on Sunday. There was a slight fall of snow also on Monday. On Tuesday morning, at six o'clock, the thermometer (Fahrenheit) marked 19 deg. The Presse states that the number of dogs destroyed in Paris by the police, since the beginning o f th e y ear , amounts to not less thin 10,000. It expresses a wish that something similar could be done with the rats, which are in such numbers it the, Bildiothique du Roi, that they commit great damage. The St. Petersburgh Journal announces that the Em peror, in consideration of the expenditure which will be caused in 1845 by the making of the railroad from Moscow to St. Petersburgh, has by an ukase ordered that a loan of twelve millions of silver roubles shall be raised abroad, on the same basis as those adopted for the third 4 per cent. loan. The Diet of,the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt was opened at Darmstadt ,on the sth by the Grand Duke. His Royal Highness made. a long speech on the occasion, in which he congratulated the Diet on the en terprise displayed in railroads, and other works of im provement, and declared his determination to co-operate in all means of improving the welfare of his subjects. A Vienna letter of the 26th ult., in the Universal Ger man Gazette, mentions a rumour that, at the date of the last accounts from Constantinople, the Sultan was dan gerously ill. • The Augsburg Gazette states from Albania, but with out date, that the Turkish Pacha had given battle to, and defeated the rebels, and that in consequence of this result all the insurgent villages had tendered their sub mission.. A letter from Saragossa of the 28th ult. states that the late arrests there were for the purpose of ascertaining whether there might be amongst the persons arrested some who were strangers to the town, and might be sup posed to have hostile intentions towards the Government. All who could not give is satisfactory account of them selves were Cent to prison. • LAW AND POLZCZI. At the York Assizes William Kendrew, farm labourer, aged 22 ; was convicted of the murder of Mr. Inchbald, at Dunsforth, in September last, and ordered for execution. • Joseph Smith, a boy only ten years of age, was com mitted at Guildhall for stealing 113 farthings from the Rainbow Tavern, in Newgate-street. At the greenwieh Police-court Charles Havers, re siding at 2, Park .place, East Greenwich, was charged with indecently assaulting Catherine Francis, a female about 14 years of age, in one of the carriages on the London and Greenwich Railway. After the child and two other witnesses had given evidence, the prisoner said he was mistaken in the person. 31r.

THE. SMITHFIELD CLUB. CHRISTMAS CATTLE SHOW. The exhibition was on Wednesday, for the fifth year, cpened to the public at the Horse Bazaar, King-street, Portman square; and from an early hour in the morning up to a late hour in the evening the entire vicinity of Baker-street and the surrounding locality was one continued scene of bustle and excitement. Carriages, cabs, carts, omnibuses, and other vehicles, conveying visitors from the more distant parts of the metropolis„ were constantly arriving, and the entire neighbourhood presented the appearance of. a fair. Up to seven o'clock in the evening it. was computed that between eight and nine ,thousand persons passed through the show, and that the number prior to its closing for the day would exceed ten thousand. At eleven o'clock.in the forenoon the annual meeting of the Smithfield Cattle Club.took place in one of the rooms of the Bazaar; Earl Spencer, the president, in the chair. The meeting was very, fully attended by the members, and amongst a large number of distinguished agritulturiste pre sent were his. Grace the Duke of ,Richmond,. his Grace the Duke of Bedford, the Hon. Captain Spencer, Mr. Pusey, M.P., Earl Radnor, Mr. E. G. Barnard, M.P., &c. The report as to, the state of the affairs of the Club was read by the Secretary, Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, and was una nimously approved of and adopted. The award of the judges with respect to the cattle, stock, &c., exhibited this year was then read and confirmed, and several gentlemen congratu lated the Club on.the general excellence of the animals pro,- duced for competition, as compared with those of former years. An intimation was given by the Noble Chairman that it mils the intention of his Royal Highness Prince Al bert to honour the Club with a visit, but that the day had not yet been fixed. • It was, however, _generally supposed that Saturday morning would be the most. likely time. Earl Spencer having been unanimously_ re-elected President of the Club for the ensuing . year, and the Dukes of Rich mond and Bedford, and several other noblemen and gentle men Vice-presidents, Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs was unani mously re-elected to the office of Secretary.

THE OFFERTORY AND THEPARISII OF ST. GEORGE, HANOVER- squmtr.—;oll.Sunday-last- the Bishop-- of London preached a sermon at St..George's•Church, Hanover-square, on behalf of the Visiting Association of that parish; and ad vocated the claims of the_charity with his -usual earnestness and eloquence, when, to the surprise of the congregation, it was found, on leaving the church, that no collect ion was made. It appears that the bishop's intimation that the col lection should•be made from pew to pew while the Offertory service was read from the communion-table was in opposition to the practice which 'had, invariably been followed in that church ; and, as the churchwardens did not feel justified in departing from -the customs sanction by the congregation, the cons!quence war.' that no collection was made, and the tharrty - did not receive the slighter •pecuniaky .advaittsge from big Lordship's adyocacy.—Time:.
