Inched it seemed especially in its place in hand s of Madame de Lozano during her singing of I.VPanish song, which was exceedingly well given by .114 , and ca ll e d forth a hearty encore. The fantasia by • Chatterton on the harp, and the fantasia by Signor tiß °ll di on the concertina, were the prominent attrac- Vin the first part. In the second part Mdlle.

DICTIONARY OF GEOGIMPITY : Descrip tive, Physical, Statistical, and Ilistorical.; A.' K. Johnston. Henceforth "Johnston's Gezetteer" will rank among those standard works of reference which are to general literature what a grammar or dictionary are to any particular language. For condensation of knowledge the compiler of this extraordinary volume competes, and competes successfully, with such men as M'Cullagh or Macgregor. His present remark able work has about it the compactness of one of " Maunder'a Treasuries," and the completeness of a voluminous encyclopedia. Already Mr. , Johnston had revealed his powers, or we might eay his cultivated adroitness in this respect, that is to say in regard to the close packing of information into a compass which, while singularly portable as a whole, was not in any way stunted or stinted in detail. His wonderful physical Atlas of Natural Phenomena, one of the most surprising books ever printed for the scope and variety of its intelligence, had above all demonstrated the skill with which he could congregate together upon a single sheet of paper a multitude of scattered particulars,, and arrange them into a systematical form, without marring in the slightest degree their lucidity. In his present herculean undertaking' our geographer has had less novelty of performance to accomplish, but, to our thinking, a tougher work to get through, and a larger variety of obstacles, impediments, and difficulties to overcome. Many gazetteers already existed, but filled to very repletion with blunders and mis-statements. To avoid the stereo typing of these errors, Mr. Johnston has had to dispense with the assistance of all previous labourers. Rather than drop into their fallacies through inadver tency, be has preferred to cling to the enormous task enjoined to any one who can take courage upon such a field of investigation to be strictly original. Materials for a similar compilation had been already collected together to a considerable extent, the principal contributor being Mr. Brent, and the inten tion of the publi)hers, the Messrs. Longman, having been several years ago directed to the publication of a general gazetteer. It is true that some of these materials have been judiciously incorporated in the present dictionary, but an intimation in the preface informs us, that "the author thinks it proper to . . state that he alone is responsible for the contents of the whole." By a simple but comprehensive system of abbreviations (an explanatory table of which is prefixed to the volume) a large amount of space is economised that must otherwise have been squandered upon needless repetitions. Not only are proper names and designations shortenedto mere initials (as Bpe. for bisho — pric, G. for gulf, L. for lake, M. for miles and so forth), but mere expressions and adjectives are curtailed with equal propriety and usefulness ; for example, circumf. stands for circumference, iodep. for independent, cr. for crossed, dom. for dominion, and inf. for interior. Through this ingenious and easily understood employment of signs for epithets, the toil of description is sirgularly simplified. As nn illustration of the extent of exertion and research devolving upon Mr. Johnston from his resolute determiO ation to be original and accurate, we may mention that he himself has in each case ex amined into the situation of the different spots of the globe mentioned in his dictionary, weighing the real value of foreign estimates and comparing his 'own figures with those given .in some accredited printed statements. By this means alone has he been enabled to secure his volume from the blemish hitherto ohs servable in all 'books of a similar description, namely, the blemish in. this particular of grossly erroneous calculations. The result is before us it 1,432 double - columned and closely printed - octavo pages—wonderfully clear and explicit, but. re voiding in the very circumstance of their pre , sent lucidity the enormous effort required for their accumulation. The unexpected dimensions as sumed by the 'manuscript, even when reduced to the:. miniature of letterpress, has prevented, we regret to find from the i . preface, the insertion of a supp`e mental catalogue of the most important mew. geogra phical and stati ktical works which had been referred to by the author; and Which might be judiciously consulted for further information. This catalogue, livieg been actually prepared for insertion as a sort of appendix, we ;trust may be ultimately p u bli s h e d in seine shape for ,the sake of popular guidance. One or 'two :peculiarities in Mr. Johnston's gazetteer:not yet mentioned eles erve to he especially particularised. Among other thili gs, it -may be as well to observe, for instance, as a circiumstance entirely •characteriseic of the compiler and of the compilation, that the proper names as well as the corrupt Englishnames of places are given with Laborious exactitude, such as Wien and T'ienna, Aachen- and Aix la Chapelle ; while the Eastern names -sire Invariably spelt in accordance with the systens adopted by the Royal Geographical Society. Hoe'' , caretully the whole• of the niforme tion in this nett n;ehing Dictionary has been brought down to the pis (nt time, inclusive of some of the most recent occiterencesonay be recognized even by a cursory glance through the production. Under "Gaeta" we find it stated "Pope Pius IX. sought an mell= here in 1849." Under " Naples" it is said, that that city was. " the scene of a znoeti disgraceful Outrage in Dray, ':1848, when 1,500 lives were lost, and .it was plundered by the lazzaroni." Other para.: graphs scattered , through' the work :testify to the punctilious canon with which Mr. Johnston has turned again and again to his MS. original for the purpose of addipg some new atom of information, thereby rendering his labour more complete and esti mable. .We may congratulate ourselves, in common with the rest of - the community, on the circumstance, that from time to time men eminently qualified for the task take' upon themselves to collect and collate large masses of knowledge of this elementary and, indispensable character— , undeferred by • the effort requisite for the accomplishment and the appli cation essentiaUto success. Of all individuals in the United Kingdom, capacitated by education, by skill, and by experieince, to compile a standard Gazetteer —we should have pointed to the very man who has here - undertaken the task and carried it triumphantly to a completion. Alexander Keith Johnston, by his long practice as a geographer, by his familiarity with .the particular kinds of knowledge required in the formation of a descriptive, physical, statistical, and historical Geographical Dictionary, as well as from " being possessed 'of an extensive and valuable collection of books, maps, and notes, relating to every portion of the globe, collected during a period of more than fift( en years unre mittingly devoted to geographical pursuits," was precisely of all men the man to adventure upon the achievement .of this literary exploit especially seeing that with all the advantages just enumerated he combined indomiteble energy and unflinching perseverance. Having carried his toils tit length to a suc cessful issue, we can here most cordially, and as far as our sense of usefulness is concerned, gratefully felici tate him on the close of his wearisome undertaking. Our congratulations, moreover, are due not merely to the compiler, but .also •to the publisher of this superb Gazetteer. , MAGAZINES, stc.—(CONTINUED.) COLBURN' S UNITED SERVICE. The first article of the June nuniber of the United Service is entitled " Destinies of Great Britain in the East," and - is an unanswerable vindication of the policy of which Sir Charles Napier is the champion. It is demonstrated by the writer of this article that the substitution of the rule of the British for that of the petty tyrants who call themselves Native Princes, has been invariably attended with a great increase of prosperity to the great bulk of the people of India; that it is " for the greatest happiness of the greatest number," that the direct rule of British authority should be substituted for that of Rajas and Ameers, and that increase of territory has been forced upon us rather than sought. "The first Political Relations of England with Russia" is a history of the discovery of the shore of . the White Sea by Chancelor, and of the subsequent embassies to Russia up to the com mencement of the reign of Charles 1., and cannot but be interesting at the present moment, when our relations with Russia are so cri tical, and when the influence of the then barbarians, but now semi-civilised Muscovites,is so overwhelming in the affairs of Western Europe. ." The Antarctic Voyage " is the only account which has yet appeared of the expedition of her Majesty's hired barque Pa goda to the Antarctic Ocean, under the command of Lieutenant Moore, in 1845. We have also from the pen of Captain Drew, R.N., an admirably written biography of Captain Sir John Phillirnore, R.N., from which we extract the following account of the ordi nation of a bishop by the captain of a frigate, which we commend to the especial attention of the Puseyites : " On - the passage home, the Thetis put into the Island of St. Michael's, one of the Azores, for supplies, particu larly for the sick, and it was here that Sir John Philli more had an opportunity of showing the versatility of his genius, mid of proving that ho could surmount any diffi culty, even the want of a bishop on the Atlantic ocean. The English inhabitants on the island waited upon him in a body, and stated that they had no consecrated piece to bury their dead, and requested him to hare a piece of ground, which was allotted for that purpose, consecrated. This he at one promised should (so dune—for %Ia can do? The chaplain o f th e not captain of a man-of-war Thetis, the Nov. W. G. Roysr, was immediately rent for, and received his orders to be ready to censecr=tr the piece 'of ground by noon the next day. It was in vain he prote:,ted he h9.d no authority to do it; that he was not competent; why not? beeauce,.Sir John, it require s a bishop to con:iecrate. Well, Sr.ll give. you an a:.!ting order, you shall be,Eithop of S 2lichael'e. Still tiro reveren ea d gentletu looked about for an excuse; I cannot do sir, there is no form of consecration in the Prayer book-, I have nothing to guide me, in fact I know nothing about it. Wch, give the first Lieutenant an order to write you eat a form, and that tattles the matter. Tice first Lieutenant was too strict a dretplicarian to hest tat© to obey any order be received ;rota his captain, so he and the elergypaan put their heads together and made LONDQ/sT, out A tolerable form of Consecration, not quite so pet,fect as the Archbishop of Canterbury would have made, but one which served the purpose. The ccremony went off with greet (Mat, the seamen and marines fornnrg a line of..procession, and the whole concluded (much to the satitf4Ction of all parties) with a royal salute from her jes ty 'ts . ship The tii." TEE GENTLEMAN'S. We comtnendto, the especial perusal of Mr. Bernal Osborne, a letter from Mr. Payne Collier, in the present number of the Gentleman's Magazine, on the subject of the not forthcoming catalogue of the . books in the British Museum library, which has for thelast ten years been in a state 'of, preparation by Mr. Panizzi, and which may, perhaps, appear towards the commencement of the next cen tury. Mr. Panizzi out-Barry's • Barry, and should his catalogue ever appear it will be absolutely neces sary to have a catalogue of the catalogue for ready reference. We trust that some MeMber of the House of Commons will tike the matter up, and in sist on Mr. Panizzi r cornpletein , the catalogue within a reasonable time, or resigning office to those who will do so. BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The Belle Assemblee, as usual, happily combines " the grave and gay, the' lively and sovere." As specimens of which different characteristics, we may cite a very excellent article upon Southey, a sketch of the history of music, a beautiful story entitled "Trials," which effectively inculcates a most valuable lesson ; various tales and sketches, and an amusing account of the perplexities of an editor. Among the poems is' one from the accomplished editressi Mrs. Crosland, "The Heart's Friend," which very besu- Wlily enumerates the various qualities desirable in such a relationship, and then mentions, as the price requisite for obtaining such a treasure, " the struggle to deserve if." THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. By W. M. Thackeray. No. XVII. The present number relates the recovery of Pen denniF, not only from his fiver, but from his penchant for poor Fanny Bolton, who has caught the fever from her assiduous attendance on Pen. Warrington, who has returned to his chambers during Pell ' a con- valescence, is introduced to Laura, and they fall vio lently in love with each other. The whole party, in cluding Warrington and the Major, and Helen. and Laura, but excluding poor Fanny Bolton, who is regarded by Helen and Laura as a monster of vice, ark. about to set out for a tour on the continent for the completion of the recovery of Mr. Pen'3 health. THE TOWN AND COUNTRY MISCEL- LiINY. Edited by Albert Smith. An excellent iixpennyworth of fun. " Mr. E;oo lan's Visit to the Waxworks " is a regular screamer, and the Ripky family are the most promising person's to whom we have b:-en introduced for many a teng day. We take ry great interest in the lodging-house speculation, and long to know the conclusion Of the adventure of " the young man who likes the beer." Mr. Ripky is the very Sir Charles Wood of domestic financiers. . LEILA. ,By Sir•E( . lward BiZwer Lytton. Parts V. and Vi. An engraving from Stephanoff, another from Mac• clise, a third from Herbert, and a fourth from CO bould, embellish the two latest numbers of the pre sent charming republication. If one of the crudest of all the stories petaled by the master-hand of our poet-novelist, "Leila" is also one of the most brilliant in colouring. In its animation and glow we may trace the germs of that fruitful, fancy which has' since added so many inestiMable treasures to our romantic literature. In Almamen, for example, we have the outline, of Arbaces ; in Amine the faint sketch of Irene ; in Ferdinand the more perfect historical paintingrof such monarchs as Harold, the Saxon, and William the Conqueror. Book the Fourth is completed, and Book the, Fifth commenced in these instalments of the narrative.now in courseof re-appearance. The cupidity of Ximen is prompting him to betray his master to assassination. Almamen, on thnotker hand, prompted by his anxiety, respecting his daughter Leila, has sought her even in the private chambers of Isabella, and to effect hia escape thence causes the con ,4 ,pgration of the camp of the Spaniards. The last page here represented closes as the army of. Ferdinand and the army of I3oabdil meet under the walla of Granada, to fglit for the rise or the fall of the religion of Christendova. ST. JAiTIESS. The June number of this ultra•aristocratic and ultra-legitimatist periodical ati*ini with. a pleading for the restoration of the Count tie COmbord to the throne of France; Written in a style of vituperation of liberal politics and of liberal politicins of which we cannot at all approve. The article is moreover replete with misrepresentations' of facts. Die other papers in this number are ixzellent. MISCELLANEOUS. In Sharpe's Magazine for June we find abundant matter of interesting entertainment. From the eon-- tinuathn of " Deborah's Diary," weituote the follow ing very practically truthful remarks :—" 'We should be very cautious how we cut off another person's pleasures. 'Tis an easy thing 'to say to them, You are wrong, or foolish,' and so check them in their pursuit; but what have we to give them that will compensate for it ? How many harmless refresh ments and refuges from sick and tired thought may thus be destroyed ! We may deprive the spider of his Web, and the robin of his neat, but can never re pair the damage to them. Let us live and let live; leave me to hunt my butterfly, and Anne to catch her bat."—An interesting article on " Christianity's First Martyr," and another on the • "Lon don Prisons," are contained in Illacphail's Edinburgh Journal.—Among a variety of valuable contributions,- Chambers' has some delightful gossip ping sketches of " Social Life in France."—An inter esting page in the Farmers' Journal exhibits :the ground •plan of some extensive farm buildings at Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire. The Colonial Maga zine contains an article .worthy of perusal, on the " dark side of Indian service," namely, as re ferred to in the furlough memorial.—The Patent Journal and the London Repertory of Patent Inven tions abound in matter of scientific interest.--The Rambler and the Catholic Register, independent of the interest which it is to be presumed they possess for the members' of that church to which they are more especially addressed, contain many articles of general interest.—The Public Good, the British Contro versalist, and some other claimants for public favour now swell the already crowded ranks of the monthly periodical literature. Among them all we must not omit to mention the most graceful, namely, Le follet, which is as charming as ever. FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF MR. MACREADE A wonderfully characteristic likeness of this dis tinguished artist—whose name must long continue illustrious as that of one of our most classic trage dians—has just been issued from the establish ment of Mr. J. S. Welch, 24, St. James's street. Both the lithographic draughtsman, N. Ploszczynski, and the lithographic printers, M. and N. Hanhart, have tasked their skill to the uttermost in portraying the features of the great actor as they have been delineated by the master-hand of Mr. J. Deffett Francis. The trage dian is represented in one of his most celebrated im personationS, the Werner of Lord Byron's drama.. His exclamation—" Who says that? "—is expressed by the artist in every latent nerve and muscle of that flexile and elcquent countenance. The whole viiage seems to be actually working and palpitating with sup pressed emotions. The grasp of the hand, 'the Waving' cf the hair, the flash of the eye, the fierce protrusion of the under-lip, are all accessories to the utterance of the innate emotion ; and the brush of the painter has with surprising felicity realised in a portraiture that living and breathing reality whose genius has so often inspired enthuiiasm among his innumerable auditors. The plate, we observe, is appropriately inscribed to Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd, perhaps of all men living about.the best qualified to appreciate the ability,' and in appreciating the ability to estimate the likeness of his friend, William Charles Macready. PORCHESTER CASTLE.—A grand national gala, in honour of the inauguration of the colossal statues of Nelson. and Wellington, took place in this picturer9ue locality on the 18th inst., under the experienced and liberal superin tendence of Mr. Ellis, the late lessee et ,Cremorne . Gardens. Instrumental and vocal music; a balloon ascent by that " Columbus of the skies," Lieutenant Gale; dancing on the circular platform, a la Cremornc, and in the Salle de Dansc; the wonderful abilities of that talented young artiste the " India-rubber" Wright, whose pantomimic excellence was so highly and deservedly appreciated at the Princess's Theatre last season; a vaudeville; a ballet by the Stilt family, together with brilliant illuminations, constituted the • attractions of the evening ; the whole being wound up with a splendid display of fireworks by Mortram, in which every feu d' artifice known in pyrotechuy was magniicently developed. No pains were spared in the management of the fete, which passed off to the complete satisfaction of a vast concourse of visitors, and in a manner fully worthy of any of the metro politan public gardens. This evenirt; his Excellency the Nepaulese Am bassador and suite intend honouring Cremorne with. a visit, and no doubt that popular place of amusement will present an linusafilly gay and brilliant appeal-Alice. In addition to the ordinary interesting exhibitions at those gardens, we believe Lieutenant the eminent resonant, makes an ascent in his balloon, and will perform his daring teat of de scending by means of a single rope from the upper to the lower car. GaAND ENTERTAINMENT TO THE DIGNITARIES OF THE CHURCH, AT THE MANSION BOUSE.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a splendid entertminment to the prelates and a number cf the other dignitaries of the Church, upon the occasion of the anniversary of the meeting of the arch.. bishops, the bishops, and clergy, for the propagation of the Gospel in foreigu parts.

OPENING OF THE SOUTH WALES CHEPSTOW, WEDNESDA L L ThiS line was opened to-day for public traffic. The formal opening yester day afforded apfrfect triumphal day, and the occasion was celebrated in a most magnificent manner. The special train started' from this town, the present eastern terminus, at nine o'clock', A. 14 to proceed to Swansea. The event was regardecras a national one, and in every town and village on, the route the day was ascend as a close holiday. 'lmmense multitudes assembled on the margin of the new railway, extend ing for a distance of seventy-five miles : banners floated from every available position ; the ships in the several ports of Chepstow, Newport, Cardiff, Port Talbot, Neath and Swansea, were decked out in like manner, and at every station on the line wreaths of flowers and evergreens abounded, and triumphal arches were as thick as trees of liberty are found in the streets of Paris after an overthrow of dynasty. The journey downwards occupied four hours, in consequence of the numerous addresses of congratti lation presented to the directors by the local autho rities. In every corporate town the utmost hospi tality on the part of the authorities and the inha the old an d a l mos t f orgo tt en gs of the day. On the b s it ,j a u n ti t i s l m v a a r l k .es ed it t a l i l l e ,, y a r y pecedin pleasures of coach travelling are revived, the line being, for considerable runs on a level with low lards, stretching out to the Severn and Bristol Channel on onehand, and beautiful undulating hills and mountains on the other. The traveller is enabled to enjoy the glorious scenery around him almost as much in detail as if he travelled on the box of the Car marthen mail, the route being the same.. The train stopped at all the . stations, of which there are eight between Chepstow and Sivansea, be sides the termini. The first is a third-class station, Portskewet, five miles from Chepstow. From hence to Newport, the next station, is twelve miles, part of the distance over a flat moor, the line running on a level for 'a considerable distance. On leasing Newport a tunnel about half a mile long presents itself ; the train proceeded th r o ug h it slowly both in the journey down , is and 1.11213.Fr0m Newpo r t t o C ar diff, th e nex t on miles. This is a ri s i ng t ow n, and s(to gether with Newport and Swansea) will derive great benefit 'from the opening of this railway.

It passes on ti aextensive curve over the l ow grOundS, containing some large copper smelting , works, and i s comman d e d by some lofty hills, on which thousands of persons had assembled to witness the approach of the train. At Swansea the most extensive arrangement a had been made for the opening. Busineesewas totally suspended, and all the shops closed, wjille the streette were densely crowded. The sight altogether was most gratifying; and although there was necessarily some confusion, thsre was nothing like disorder, r • • was a drunken man visible in the streets. On the arrival of the train such a shout arose as made the welkin ring, and it was re-echoed from the mountain tops and far-off heights. The required ceremonies performed, after some delay, the next point of attraction was the banquet. For this only a limited number of tickets (690) were at first issued, hut this number was- afterwards in creased, notwithstanding utany parties were disappointed, and as much as 30s. were offered for tickets, the original price for gentlemen's tielosts being 12,e 61., Indies 75. 61. A goodly number o f I n di es attended, awl when all were seated the scene was an imposing one.

The programme, of which we gave an outlir.e on Toes day, proved that the lessees of the Hurst bad acted wisely in placing the management in the hands of a party whose official connexion with all the great meetings was a gun. rantee of something better than the public had been so long accustomed to under the " Parsonian" system. A change was visible last year, and that it was appreciated Was shown not less by a general improvement in the character of the stakes provided for the present meeting, than by the acceptance of the stewardship by two of the most influential members of the Jockey Club—the Mar quis of Exeter and Sir Joseph Hawley. The card for yesterday embraced five events, two of them in heats, which, if they are to be tolerated at all, must not, we presurnr, be objected to at Hampton; one race of the kind, however, we submit to the authorities, would have been quite sufficient. The weather having turned out extremely favourable, the special trains from Waterloo bridge were patronised to an extent which could not have been anticipated. We never saw so large an at tendance on a first day. Besides many other distin guished persons, there were present k's Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Marquis of .Exeter, Mar quis of Drogheda, Lord Burleigh, Lord Andover, Lord W. Powle tt, Lord Dankellin, Hon. Captain Roes, Hon. Major Boyle, Hon. H. Forester, Hon. F. Lawley, Sir J. Hawley, Sir T. Burke, General Charritie, Colonel Peel, Captain Little, Captain Carleton, Captain Pettat, Captain Hervey, Messrs. 8. Graham, Bastard, Payne, Archdall, Magenuis, Gr egor y, Peyton, &ea&c. - The racing, which was as good as it was abundant, commenced at trio o'clock, with heats, and was not brought to a close until a quarter to eight.

ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The annual contest amongst the yachts of this highly respectabla club, which is rapidly advancing in public favour, for the grand challenge cup, took place yester.. day, but, although the day was admirably suited for en excursion, there was too little wind to teat the weatherly powers of the yacht. The Gem steamer had been char tered by the club, for the conveyance of members and their friends, and left London-bridge at half past nine, with a highly-respectable party on board, which was considerably augmented at Blackwell. The following; yachts had been entered to contend:--, 1. Whisper, 19 tons, Thomas Eveleigh, Esq ; blue, white, and red. 9 . Linnet, 10 tons, Holies Knox, Esq.; white, red ho: der • with blue cross. 3. Rival, 10 tons, J. T. Helms, Esq.; red, orange, and . . blue. _ 4. Alligator, 20 tons, Henry J. Smith, Esq.; red with white stripe, and a horse rampant. 5. Frolic, 12 tons, Alfred Cox, Esq.; r:d and white stripes. 6. Moor Park, 17 tons, George E. Browne, Esq ; three golden lilies, red ground. 7. Phantom, 20 tons, S. Lane, Esq.; white, red border. It was a time race, one minute per ton being allowed by all yachts exoeeding tea tons to those not exceeding it, yachts not exceeding thirteen tons to allow half minute per ton to those of lesser tonnage. The challenge cup bad been originally presented to the club by J. T. Hewes, Esq., and was held by Mr. E. Browne, the owner of the Moor Pork, the conditions of the race re quiring that it should be won two consecutive seasons by the same 3 - acht to become the permanent property of the owner. The distonce to be sailed was frora Biackwr.il to Gravesend find back. The whole of the boats were at their stations on tne arrival of the steamer, with the exception of tae Linnet, which had been withdrawn. The Whiliper and 'Frolic nearly divided the favouritism, the success of the former in gallantly carrying oft' one of the privs in the match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club on the :ith inst. de servedly placed her high in request; but the pretty sail ing of the =Frolic, a vessel bel ong i ng to the btrlni dis tinguished club, on many occasions when there W3S scarcely a capful of w i n d , as well as in stronger weather, induced speculators upon the event to look upon her as a very formidable rival. The Phantom neat fled the call, while it was declared by a tolerable section t if it came on to blow hard the Alligator, a l g. , , schooner rigged vessel, would do some astonishing wor c.. at _i ,rt .i e t, however, did not blow herd, non pportunity ~ . ., ! ix o ri .i f e 0 1 0 0 . i of r..4ccriaining whether there wus any incri. i II nion expressed of her e.lpabilitirs.. , The start took place under the: st eleven, a t Cm minute:; p, . the Brown, the rear-commodore, 1.. _ .te _ v cl b the whole of le and tile usual n!aerity was ex.ibio , directi , on ~o f Mr. E. crews in setting the immense ge )1 3 nent three was hard!) each hotit was covered.

At the Half-way House a gentle breeze sprung up from the northward, and thence westwarded, which rendered the match of a more iuteresting character, and some very pretty sailing occurred amonest the little fleet, but another lull brought them again to almost a stand-still, and it was feared they would not, reach the distance, but Sol haviitg retired fur a short time a new breeze gladdened the hearts of the crews, and soon put them within sight of the flag-buoy off Gravesend, but as the tide had then commenced making up, the three leading heats performed a somewhat tedious operation (the Probe and Phantom haring passed and re-passed each other), in working over the flood to arrive at it; in effecting which, owing to their hugging the shore on the Gravesend side, the Phantom for a moment or so caught the ground, and the Whisper, which was at the time eagerly disputing the honour of the second plate, went some yards in advance. The three leading boats rounded at Gravesend in the following order : h. min. sec. The Frolic ... 4 36 5 Whisper 4 57 32 Phantom ... ••• 5 355 After rounding they all set square sails, and each be gan to make the best of their way beck. The advan tage which the Frolic had at the rime of rounding left bet little doubt, from her well-known powers, barring accidents, of success. There was nothing worthy of record in the passaeo up.

Tao Royal Thames Yacht Club and other toasts having been done ample justice to, tl•• steamer returned to London-bride, and landed her com pany before dnsk. The officers of the club were unre mitting, in their Lttcnticn to the comfort of their guests. There was an abundance ef the choicest viands prepared by Mr. Cooper, the steward; and a very good quadrille band, which was kept in tolerably sharp exercise during the whole evening. Mr. Poker, chairman ; Mr. Walker, director ; and Mr. Nash, secretary of the Gloucester and Dean • Forest Railway Company ; t 'ae Mayors of Newport Co abridge, Neath, Carmartlic 'n, Haverford west, and Gloucester, the Portreeva of r lanelly, &c. Mr. TALBOT, in reply to the toast of " The Direc tors," said when calla(' upon on occasions of this kind, he had usually cousidered the ci )inpliment to be a one-sided one, but not so on the :orement occasion, for he thought he might say with at uth, that the direc tors of the South Wales Railway Company deserved well at their hands.— (Cheers.) They had that day completed the first stage of their magnificent enter prise —an enterprise which had :called into play all their patience, all their parse% maance, and all the money—(hear, hear)—which cc staid be commanded. He thought the people of that cc it; ntry were not such slow coaches as to be satisfied ith stopping their line of railway at Swansea. Ca rmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire must be brought to sgether. The late Mr. O'Connell, in addressing his. countrymen, used to make use of a favourite exraa , ssion—"Tbis is a great day for Ireland." He Va..

Mr. Talbot then urged the necessity of campleting the clack accommodation at Swansc a. lie recollected when at school they used to tcli one another "Hoc age," and what he advised the pc, of Swansea was "dock-age."—(Loud laughter.)

"Thu health of the Directors on the Great Western Railway Company" was proposed ;'by Mr. Grenfell. Mr. BARLOW acknowledged tia a: toast, and assured his hearers that he had always rc j 2 ardcd the interests of the South Wales and Great - P lectern Companies as identical. He would say, wit b reference to Mr. Talbot's observation, that this was a proud day not only for Wales but for England , ; it was a national event which they had met to cal;_ b 7tVe.—(Hear.)

" The Health of Mr. Brunc l„ the engineer in chief," was next given, as one wl lc. had " aenihilated both time and space." Mr. 13nuaar, briefly replied, ;and other toasts followed ; and at half-past six o'el 3 ck the party broke up, end proceeded to the station. On its return to Chepstow, the fq iecial train arrived there after a quick journey of three hours (75 miles), including stoppages at eight et Evtiuns. The same manifestations were repeated at each station, and everything passed off without the;slightest accident.

The anniversary dinner of the jtoyal Free Hos pital took place last night at the Lc.ndon Tavern, and it was attended by nearly three hundred of the friends and subscribers to that truly benevolent in stitution. The chair was taken by the Hon. E. H. Stanley, M.P., who was supported by Mr. C4reene, M.P., Mr. Roebuck, M.P., Mr. Manners Sutton, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Rice, the Rev. J. 11. Fisk, the Rev. Dr. Benson, Dr. Forbes Winslow, Dr. Heale, Mr. Goldsmith, and others actively engaged in promoting the usefulness of the hospital. After the usual loyal and comp3imentary toasts had been given, the Honourable Chairman, in on eloquent speech, proposed the principal toast of the evening— " Prosperity to the Royal Free Hospital," and ho drew an animated picture of the extent to which the institution diffused its blessings among the really destitute poor. Ile celled special attention to the fact that since the foundation of the charity, in February 1848, no fewer then 310,547 persons had partici pated in its benefits; and that whilst in the first year only 926 patients had received its ministrations, that number had increased to 28,190 in 1849, but in 1846 they amounted to 35,507. From the medical report it appeared that 851 totally destitute persons had been admitted into the wards. After this toast had been duly honoured, Mr. ROE BUCK proposed the health of the Chairman, observing that he looked upon him as the type of a class who, having the means of enjoying life, thought it their first duty to show their sympathy with the poor by pirsontilly supporting institutions for their benefit. He considered it one of the best signs of the times thilt all classes, from the very highest, cordially united in this object. The CEIAIEMAN briefly raturned thanks for the c,wr.ipliment paid to him, and proposed the health a the Pregi&nt of the hospital , the Duko of Buccleuan. A number uf other toasts were afterwards given, with the usual honours. The donations announced during the evening amounted to nearly 1,3001. COMMITTEE OF POOR-LAW MEDICAL OFFICERS.

The annual meeting of the proprietors of the ahoy* company- was held on Monday at the offices, Austin friars ; Mr. Brownrigg, Mt., in the chair. The ad vertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, • The annual report of the directors was submitted. The directors said they had the pleasure to state that satisfactory progress had been made in the colony to wards realising the debt due by the Bank of Ans tralie, and to express their conviction that the whole amount of the judgment would in a moderate space of time be paid; tl.ey had, therefore, brought to ac count the amount of interest and costs recovered at Sydney—namely, 65,182/. ss. ld. Against the few English shareholders of the Bank of Australia who had declined to enter into terms of arrangement the directors had steadily pursued their course ; and, al though they had been met by every device that legal ingenuity could suggest, they had in the only case which lied horn heard obtained the unanimous judg.. ment of the Court of Common Pleas overruling all the objections that had been raised, and leaving as the only point for decision the simple question of fact, whether the party sued were a shareholder or not. The directors had since come to terms of compromise in the case referred to, and were still ready, as they hod always been, to make arrangements with the other parties against whom proceedings were pending. In the tenth paregraph of their report last year the directors stated the extent, according to the best estimate they were able to !mire, of the probable losses of the bank, in addition to the sum then available as the balance of the had debt fund ; and acting upon that view, the following would show the result:—At 16th October, 1848, the estimated deficiency, after applying the bad debt fund of 82,0181. 15s. 7d., was 49,0091. 10s. 10d., egainst which bed been placed the interest on the hank of A.ustraiie, debt and costs, 65,182/. ss. 14., leaving a surplus according to that estimate, of 16,1721. 141. 3•:.; to this were now to be added the net profits in the colonies, and in London, for the year ending 15th October, 1849, after deducting ex penses of management, 54,330/. lls., less irrecoverable debts written off in the year in the colonies in excess of former estimates, 6,284/. 17s. Bd., and dividend of 12s. per share Ist October, 1849, 13,500/., together 315451. 3s. 3d., which added to the 16,1721. 4s. lett a balance at the 15th of October, 1849, of 50,7171. 17s. 63. The assets and liabilities of the bank at the same period stood as follows;- Assets Government stock, specie, and cash, 448,3521. 3s. 5d., bank premises, 24,2991. ls., bills receivable and other securities 1,299,829/. 18- 5d together 1,772 534/. 2s. led. The liabilities were— Capital, 900,000/. circulation, 106,4651, bills pay able and other liabilities, 245,4231. 4s. 2d., deposits, 469,928/. ls. 2d., profit and loss, 50,717/. 17a. 6d., together 1,772,534/. 2s. lOd. The directors, since their report in June last, had received advices and valuations from the colonies, which led them to anticipate a considerable addition to the losses then estimated by them upon old dependencies, not how ever to such an extent as to render it necessary to interrupt the payment of dividends, although the effect must be to continue a low rate longer than had been hoped end expected. The disappeinment which was felt at the result of the estimates referred to had determined the directors to abstain for the future from laying any fresh valuations before the proprietors, but to write off the actual a m o u n t o f l oss ascertained as each dependency was wound up. They had also re solved to appropriate the surplus yearly profits, after paying dividends, to meet such contingencies ; and as the current business of the bank was of a healthy, profitable, and improving character, the *directors entertained a confident hope that ere long they would be justified in increasing the dividend to four per cent. per annum, but they were of opinion that this rate should not be exceeded until the securities held by the bank were either realised or all question as to their depreciation set at rest. The October dividend, however, would be continued at the present rate of 12s : per share, free of income-tax. A motion for the adoption of the report having been made and seconded, Mr. Sergeant GASELEE objected that the accounts, as givcn above, were not sufficiently set forth in de tail, and suggßsted that, at least, the various items of expenditure should he stated. The CUAIIIMAN said that the statement of accounts was in the form that had been regularly laid before the proprietors for the last 15 or 16 years and that much injury would result from too detailed a state ment of the assets and liabilities of a banking es tablishment. After considerable discussion the report was adopted. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE then moved that the direc tors be requested to publish a more detailed statement of accounts, and that the annual report of the directors be forwarded to the proprietors seven days before the annual meeting. The resolution, having been seconded, was put from the chair and lost. A vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. TIIE QUERN OF THE BELGIANS.-DOTER, JUNE —The town of Dover may well feel proud of the achieve ment of to-day, in effecting the embarkation and immediate departure of her Majesty's mail packet Vivid, Commander Smithett, with the Queen of the Belgians and suite, for Oe tend.• The hour appointed for the departure of the royal party happened to be that state of the tide known as " dead low water," which in all times past at this, as well as all the neighbouring ports, rendered it impossible for vessels to leave the harbour; but through the unprecedented progress and successful construction of the new Admiralty Pier, and the kindness, exertion, and facilities of the Messrs. Lee, the contractors, and their assistants, upon this occasion, this, the swiftest steam-boat afloat, took on board her august passen gers and luggage at the new pier, at a point about four hundred feet from the shore, and where it was ascertained, at low water, that the soundings enabled Captain Srrithett to move off in gallant style, amidst the universal applause of the greatest concourse of people that has been assembled in Dover for many a long day. He that considers how little be dwells upon the condition of others will learn how little the attention of others is attracted by himself. —Eliea cook's Journal. STANFOR D H ILT.
