The musical arrangements under the direction of Mr. Hobbs, w aisted by the first talent of the day. In addition to the system of granting annuities, it is proposed (as Soon as a sufficient sum can be collected for that purpose) to build an asylum a short distance from London for the aged annuitants. The generous assistance of the benevolent is earnestly solicited to- Wards this object, the Christian propriety of which it is impossible to doubt. Aged persons of resrctability with small annuities are evi dently unable to procure for themselves lodgings at all partaking of the same character for comfort as their former abodes. In the case of females whose fortunes have fallen into decay, there can be no doubt that this is an intense aggravation of their misfortunes, for a Mean lodging in a low neighbourhood, with all its associations of Ililsery, if Rot of crime (as must too often be the case), will indeed form a heavy source of painful degradation to one whose former lot has been " cast in the pleasant places." What can be more desir able, then, than to place such persons in comfortable and respectable dwellings, where the decencies and proprieties of life can be pro- Party maintained, and the old age of the inmates preserved from all those disagreeable circumstances to which we have adverted? It has been considered that the thll intention of the Society has scarcely been produced until this last object has been accomplished. Donors of 51. or upwards to the Building Fund are entitled to the Privileges of Life Governors, with two votes at every election, and for every additional 51. they may procure, so that ladies or gentle men collecting 5/. or upwards for the building Fund are entitled to the same privileges pro rata. Persons collecting 501. or upwards for the Building Fund, or ob taining-Ten Life Goiernors to this Institution, shall, for every such 501., be constituted Life Governors, in addition to those benevolent Persons who may be thus constituted try their respective donations. Contributors to the Building Fund are placed precisely in the same Position as other Governors and subscribers.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstoue's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach; and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., • T the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protectirn, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing dr ie 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE._LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking tor assistance where alone it can bo procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to toe treatment of these diseases.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Government has, on the urgent representations of the Burgraves, agreed to accept of the amendment to the Dotation Bill 'proposed by the club of the Rue Richelieu; but even this acceptance, and the conjoined influence and exertions of MM. TRIERS, MOLE, De BROGLIE, BERRYER, and DE MOUTA LEMR.ERT, will not save them from defeat if the Members of the Mountain, among whom there are some most' crotchetty: individuals, act mill ordinary, sense. The Members of the Moun tain of the Left and of the tiers-part, including theCkvaioriAcandDurirau party, are all opposed to the Bill—they number 250 votes, and to these are to be added 125 Legitimatists who are opposed to it, giving a total of 375, a majority of the Assembly, against the Bill. If all these voted in favour of the amendment of the Committee the Ministry would be defeated, but certain .crotchetty Members of the Mountain, who are opposed to all increase -in the PRESIDENT'S allowance,- will, it is said, vote against the amendment of the Committee, because it proposes some increase, in which case the Ministry will be saved, and the PRESIDENT secure his dotation by the votes of the Reds and the Socialists. The Committee on the Budget of 1851 has nearly completed its labours. It is supposed that the Assembly will adjourn in August for six weeks. A telegraphic dispatch has been received at Roche fort, commanding the Maritime Prefect to send three surgeons of the third class to La Plata, where the yellow fever is making numerous victims.

Letters from Madrid of the 18th state that the accouchement of the Queen of SPAIN was expected to take place before the end of the week. There were ;rumours of the existence of serious differences between NARVAEZ and the Duke of MONTPENSIER• NARVAEZ had, at a ball given by the Prince DE CARINI, the Neapolitan Minister, offered a gross insult to :the American Ambassador, who bad approached to salute him. " I will not have anything to say to one," shouted out•lisavezz, "who represents a nation that harbours pirates and en courages public felonies." Having uttered these words in a tone loud enough to be heard all over the room, NARTAEZ rumped the American Plenipo tentiary, who was at once " cut" by all the Spaniards present. The Gageta announces the arrest of an armed Car list band at Colmenar Viejo. GERMANY. The Provisional College of Princes for the Erfurth Union still continue their sitting at Berlin. 13aron RADOWITZ will, immediately on his return to Berlin, assume his seat as President of the Provisional Col lege of Princes. The Erfurth Parliament will meet in the month of August. The Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT has determined to separate from the Erfurth Union, and (heir, the Prime Minister, has resigned. Excesses against and persecution of the Jews are still the order of the day in Moravia, and matters have been so serious at Prerau, a station-place on the Northern Railroad, that it has been declared in a state of Beige. The military measures taken are of so severe a nature, that none but . medical men and clergymen are permitted to quit their habitations after nine o'clock in the evening. The unhappy Jews at Cracow were to have been attacked on Corpus Christi Day, but the measures taken by the captain of the city prevented any outbreak. The Oat Deutsche Post contains an interesting letter from the son of the late General Count DE \\rum, concerning a plan which was formed in 1828 for giving the Government of the United States a footing in the Mediterranean, by delivering a seaport in the island of Cyprus into its hands. Tne negotia tions were carried on for the space of eight months between General DE Wurrs and Mr. Humus, the American Minister at the Hague, on the one side, and the American Government on the other. The latter fearing a conflict not only with England and Turkey, but with the other European Powers, if it assumed the protectorate, as was proposed, of an island of such consequence as Cyprus, at last, after eight months' consideration, relinquished the idea. The whole affair was kept so secret that Mr. HUGHES wrote and copied all the dispatches himself. A letter from Berlin of the 21st, in the Indepen dance of Brussels, says : It is expected at Schwerin, in Mecklenburg, that the Chambers will be dissolved on the 26th. This event has been preceded by a rather curious scene. The Ministry had given notice to the President of the Chamber that the lease of the building in which the re presentatives of Mecklenburg held their sitting had been cancelled, and that they would have to move their bureaux and their archives elsewhere. On receiving this notice, M. Wiggers, the President, went to the Chamber, when he was astonished to find workmen already employed in removing the benches and the desks. The Bureau protested, and declared the Minis terial decision null and void." A letter from Manheim, of the 21st, states that M. BRENTANO, who was at the head of the insurrection of Baden, but who has fled to the United States, has been tried at Manheim, and sentenced by default to imprisonment for life. The accounts in the German papers relative to the dispute between Denmark and the Duchies are very contradictory. Some state that all hope of an ar rangement is at an end, others that peace is nearly concluded. RUSSIA. The Russian fleet left Cronstadt on the 20th. II had but few troops on board. ITALY. The Gionzale di Roma, of the 15th, publishes a notification from Cardinal PATRIZI, Vicar-General of Rome, announcing for the 20th a solemn funeral service, to be celebrated in the Basilica of Saint Mary in Trastevere, in honour of the French soldiers who fell in the siege of Rome. A decree of the Roman Minister of Public Works announces that the Rome and Frascati Railway Company, Altieri and Ros setti having given up the provisional concession of that line, which it had obtained for the purpose of prolonging it to the Neapolitan frontier, the conces sion is transferred to the Pia-Latina Railway Com pany.

Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopegate-street, London. Six weeks ago, we published an int erestin g letter from Mr. C. Binks (formerly a clever and respectable compositor in the office of this paper), dated from California, and giving an account of his perilous overland journey from Wisconsin to the gold regions. In that letter he spoke cheer fully of his prospects, and stated that he had been blessed with excellent health ; and his friends in this country were looking forward to further correspondence from him of the same gratifying character. Such is the uncertainty of human life, however, that we have now to record his death, which occurred in a most shocking manner, he having been mur dered by the Indians. It appears by a letter from his wife, dated at Wisconsin, to her brother at Stamford (Mr. J. S. Ringhano), that he had left his companions at the diggings to go on a short expedition in search of provisions for the party, and that while on his journey he was shot by some Indians, and robbed. Ills body was recovered, and buried by his friends. It is supposed he must have been murdered within a few days of the time when he wrote the letter which was published iu this paper.—Lincoln Mercury. - . TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGES. The Asia left Boston shortly after noon on the 12th instant; touched at Halifax on the evening of the 13th; sighted the coast of Ireland on the 21st, 'after a run of seven days seven hours ; and arrived in the river, saluting the town at half past six o'clock on the morning of Saturday, having accomplished the whole distance from Boston in a mean running time of precisely nine days fifteen hours. She was detained on the bar two hours. The Asia's run is, therefore, unparalleled in point of speed; exceeding even that accomplished by the Europa, as recorded in our last. From her log it appears that during two days she ran on each respectively 313 and 316 miles. The Europa's highest runs during any two days were respectively 298 and 296 miles. Of course, however, the peculiar weather exercises a powerful in fluence, in regard to speed. The Europa's run from Halifax, allowing nothing for difference of time to either ships, is 8 days 13 hours 56 minutes, against 8 days 7 hours 50 minutes of the Asia; 6 hours 6 minutes being the balance in favour of the latter ship. The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Shannon, which left the Mersey on the 25th ult., arrived at New York at 6 30, A.M., on the sth instant; after a run of 11 days 23 hours, inclusive of the detour to Halifax. The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, arrived out at New York at 41, P.M.► on the 9th instant; after a run, allowing for difference of time, of 11 days 94 hours. During her run the Atlantic met with severe weather, and shipped a sea which carried away her larboard roundhouse. On three occasions the Atlantic ran 300, 303, and 304 miles in 24 hours. The Atlantic's and America's runs are, therefore, about equal, bearing in mind the deviation in the route of the latter ship. The royal mail steamship Canada, Captai❑ Harrison, arrived at Halifax at 9, A.M., on the 11th instant, and at Boston at 3, P.M., on the 12th. The steam-ship Viceroy, Captain Ewing, which left Galway on the morning of the let, arrived at Halifax at five, r.st., on the 11th inst., after a mean run of 9i days. The United States mail steam-ship Hermann, Captain. Crabtree, arrived at New York from Southampton on the 9th instant, after a run of nineteen days. On the 24th ultimo, in lat. 49.42, lon. 21.30, five days after leaving Cowes, an accident occurred to her larboard engine, and the remaining 2,700 miles of her voyage were conse quently run with one engine. She encountered strong westerly breezes during six days.—Liverpool Albion.

ILLNESS OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.— His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England did not sit in his Court yesterday, in consequence of a sudden attack of illness. His Honour was expected yesterday morning as usual, and the Court was opened at the customary hour of ten o'clock, but about ,half-past ten o'clock a message was brought that his Honour was so indisposed as to be unable to attend. Shortly before the rising of the Court of Chancery yesterday it was said that the physicians in attendance had expressed it as their opinion that the illness of the Vice- Chancellor was of a serious, if not of a dangerous, character. His Honour sat as one of the Lords Commissioners in the Court of Chancery on Saturday, and it was noticed that he had an unusually uneasy and excited appearance during the sitting.—. Advertiser. None are so hard to please as those whom satiety of pleasure makes weary of themselves; nor any so readily provoked as those who have been always courted with an emulation of civility.—Eliza Cook's Journal. A fire broke out yesterday evening, at about twenty minutes past nine o'clock, at the Sover Coffee-house, 110, Chancery-lane, in the vicinage of the Law Institution. Fortunately trom the early period of the evening the engines of the parish, the London, and the West of England were early on the spot. All the inhabitants were quickly got out of the house, and no persons were injured. The upper part of the premises were totally destroyed, but the bottom of the building was comparatively uninjured. According to the account of the police on duty, it appeared that the fire had been caused by a lodger in a state of intoxication having ignited his bedclothes.

NOVEL AEROSTATION.On Thursday evening last a large concourse of persons was gathered around Cremorne gardens and the Lambeth Gasworks, in consequence of an announcement that an inflated balloon, with a car attached, was to be towed tip the river from Lambeth to Battersea. The proprietors of Crernorne-gardens, finding that the charges of the Lambeth Gas Company for inflating the balloon were less than those usually paid, determined to have their bal loon inflated there and towed up to the Gardens. One of the Citizen steamers, gaily decorated with tags and streamers, and with a brass band on board, arrived at the Company's wharf at 5 o'clock, and by means of strong ropes the huge machine, with its car, containing four persons, was got on board and secured to the bows of the vessel. The funnel was down, and every precaution taken to prevent accidents. On arriving at Vauxhall-bridge the balloon was allowed to rise to a height of 60 or 70 feet, and, a rope being dropped from the car to the other side of the bridge, it was hauled over. A similar process was performed at Battersea. The great difficulty to be encountered was the landing of the balloon at Cremorne-gardens. As soon as the ropes on the vessel were loosened the balloon commenced a rapid ascent, which it required the efforts of about 20 men to check.
