MESSRS. N ICOLL'S WAREROOMS, through the purchase of adjoining premises, now extend over a space hitherto occupied by four large Establishments, viz., 114, 116, US, and 120, REt3ENT-STREET, thus forming, with their several suites of Show-rooms on the First Floor, not only the largest, but also the most elegant, Magazine for Gentlemen's Cloth ing to be met with in Europe. The Entrance to .the Wholesale and SHIPPING DEPART MENTS, for the Sale of Woollen Cloths, &c., will, for the future, be in Warwick-street, No. 41 (immediately et the rear of the Retail Warerooms in Regent-street), where the counting-house Is also placed, and to which address all applications for agencies. &c., are referred, as also those who may de,ire interviews with the Princi pals, or Heads of Departments; but Manufacturers, or others, having novelties to submit to the above firm, are requested to make an ap pointment in writing. Those who are desirous of becoming Messrs. NICOLL'S Agents for the sale of their Patented and other Goods, in such towns of the Un;ted Kingdom or Colonies where Messrs. N. are at present un represented, are informed that the Goods in question may be sold by them at the same prices as th9y are retailed in Regent-street; at the same t , me affording to the Agent a better profit than if attempts be made to copy, or otherwise pirate, the several articles.

I' 4 o LADIES.—The high and universal celebrity which ROWLAND'S ICALTDOR continues to maintain as an active, yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the Skin, is, during the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced. This pre aration, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invigorating, is equally distinguished for safety in application, as for entailing effi cacy in eradicating all redness, tan, pimples, spots, fnekies, discoto rations, and other cutaneous visitations. The radient bloom it im parts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy which it induces on the hands and arms, render it indispensable to every toilet. To ladies during the period o. nursi g, and as a wash for infants, it cannot be too strongly recommended. Gentlemen, after shaving, will rind it allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several Courts of Europe. * 3 , 11 Beware of spuriotis " KALI - DORS" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruin us to the Complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health.

This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifeld virtues, too numerous to be set f ,, rth in an advertisement, but may be read in.his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.

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 ; inde e d, suc h 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 Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar net, 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., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter el protection, signed by Herries, . -B q.• to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time is canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

The following is the draught.report of the Select Committee on postal communication between London and Paris, 1850 : " The Select Committee appointed to ascertain the most expeditipus and least expensive mode of postal communication between London and Paris and the northern parts of Europe, - who were empowered to report their opinion, together with the minutes of evi dence taken before them, to the House, have examined witnesses on the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following report : " 14Your Committee find that the postal communi cation between London and Paris has always passed through Dover and Calais, with the exception of a period of 13 months, commencing on the let of January, 1848. The Boulogne Railway being then y li t s h h a m t en p t o n r f t an additional and was substituted for Calais netrl on ac celerated daily mail between the two capitals. " 2. The experiment was also then made for the first completed, establishment time of requiring packets to perform their voyages between tidal harbours at fixed hours, without refe rence to the state of the tide. " 3. The journey from London to Paris,which had hitherto taken 31i hours, WAS performed in 14f, the time being thus apportioned : London to Dover in •.. 2i hours Dover to Boulogne in ... 5 Boulogne to Paris in ... 7 January 31, 1849, • 14} the ‘t re 4. w F er r e mn 46 " o n c u c a sa rY sto l n , s 1 did not reach the post-o ffi ce at Boulogne within the L4Bto whic h -the night mails Period of five hours allowed from Dover, and on the return voyage, when about six hours were allowed, they reached the London post-office too late 38 times. But it was also in evidence, that during a portion of this period the boating service was extremely im. perfect. From January 1, 1848, to January 3], 1849, the mails were obliged to be embarked by boat in Boulogne Roads 111 times, And disembarked ••• • . • • 102 213 And the cost of the boat service during the same period was 7991. 17s. 6d., inclusive of 1 51. 16s. f or the construction of new boats. I °s. During the following 13 months, from the Ist of February, 1849, to the 28th of February, 1850, there were 25 occasions on which t h e night ma il s were landed from the packets at Cal ais after 2.30 A.m., or within 3f hours from th e de parture from Dover, and 26 on which they rea ched the London post-office too late. They were embarked... inCalais ... Roads... 65 times And disembarked ••• 18 83 And the expense of the boat servic e durin g the same period was 1021. ls. ld. "6. In considering the route by which the greatest speed, combined with regularity, may be obtained for this postal communication, your Committee find the chief uncertainty to rest upon the amount of time which must necessarily be allowed to include the delays that may be expected from contrary wea ther, and the detentions arising when the packets are prevented by the falling of the tide from enter ing or leaving the harbours. The witnesses examined upon this point, on whose opinion with regard to such matters reliance may be most safely placed, con cur in stating that punctuality cannot he reckoned upon, in regard to the Boulogne voyage, under 4 hours and 30 minutes. "7. The night mail is at present conveyed from London to Paris, by Calais, in 12f hours. H. M. From London to Dover in ... 2 30 Dover to Calais .. 3 0 --- Calais to Paris ... ... 7 0 12 30 "8. Three hours may therefore be taken as a suffi cient allowance of time from the railway station at Dover to the station at Calais, though one of the witnesses stated that 3i hours should be allowed, to insure regularity. "9. Ic appears therefore from the evidence your Committee have taken, that 4i hours are required be tween the stations at Dover and Boulogne, and 3 hours between the stations at Dover and Calais, the difference being attributable to the following circum• stances : _ _ " 10. The sea-passage to Boulogne pier is, on the average, about 20 minutes longer than to Calais pier. " 11. In Boulogne harbour it is stated that there is depth of water sufficient for the packets about 7 hours out of 12, and in Calais generally at low-water neap tides, and at spring , tides, with the exception of about 1 hour and 40 minutes out of 12 hours. " 12. The boat service is more liable to delay and difficulty at Boulogne than at Calais. " 13. Boulogne is more exposed to the prevailing gales, and more difficult and dangerous of approach, particularly in the dark, in bad weather. " 14. The manager of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway stated five hours to he the shortest time in which the mail could be conveyed with regularity from Boulogne to Paris, assuming that the best ar rangements could be made with the North of. France Railway Company. " 15, A superintendent of the North of France Railway stated 6 hours and 45 minutes to be the average time actually occupied in the transmission of the mails from 'Calais to Paris, though seven hours are allowed to cover delays ; and he considered that rate of speed to be susceptible of acceleration. " 16. The time, therefore, at which the Mils may be conveyed by the two routes, assuming an accelera tion on the Boulogne line, appears to be as follows B. M. London to Dover ... 2 30 Dover to Boulogne ▪ 4 30 Boulogne to Paris • 4 45 11 45 London to Dover 2 30 Dover to Calais . . 3 0 Calais to Paris ••. 6 45 ci 17. The advantage of half an hour l p 2 os l se s ssed by the former route ic, however, counterbalanced by the following considerations : " 18. It is shown by ex p erie nce to b e mo r e ex posed to delay, even with the allowanc e of 4h. 30m. for the sea me m v by r a ed ge 1h thana that nine the times oother he t route packets w ere una bl e t o deliver their mails at Boulogne, a n d, to avo i d further delay, proceeded to C alais. e " 19. The expense of the Boulogne line for boat ser vice, coal, stores, and wear and tear, is estimated at one-third more than the same service from Dover to Calais, and the risk of serious accident is greater. "20. Your Committee have i t also in ev id ence th a t the pat of Calais could not wel l be superseded, but would remain the port for letters for the nor th o f Europe, and that letters are s ent twice a day a t th e present time to Belgium and th e Rhine by this route. " 21. Your Committee are informed that the mail train from Dover to London may be acceler a t e d f rom 15 to 20 minutes by diminishing the number of stop pages, and one cause of delay will be considerably removed as the works at Dover advance and the packets can land at the pier at all hours." has been made acceptable d ta th b a le t constituted. mplated THE UNITED STATES. appointment NE w iC O R o l . , a APRlLcommittee ofTthhei r long-c ont emplated : e n , f in the Senate, and strong hopes are entertained they may suggest some terms of comp r c o m as i sD re i g ek ar in d . ing T t h h is e sclaovmermyitqteueesitsionvewryhich will prove to a majority in both the Chambers.

Both nations mutually pledge their faith that they will not take, use, hold, occupy, or exercise dominion over any part of Central America henceforth and for ever; nor will they establish or maintain any fortifi cations or military posts upon or within said country. The two Powers also agree to protect and secure the operations of such company as under the authority of the State of Nicaragua shall construct and main- Stain the proposed ship canal. The Atlantic and Pacific Ship Canal Company of this city, who now hold the contract with Nica ragua, have lately completed preliminary surveys of the St. Juan, and have made such arrange ments as will enable them by the middle of June to open the route for passengers to the Pacific, while at the same time they have commenced such negotia tion as will enable them to forthwith organize their future plans for constructing the great work with as little delay as possible. Apart from the value this - stock must derive through the powerful protection afforded to it, the various sections of land granted by Nicaragua to the company cannot fail' at an early period to become very valuable property. The effect of this treaty must be to render the un cultivated and revolutionary States of Central Ame rica a prosperous and fertile country ; while between the two contracting Powers it cannot but prove a bond of peace and an union of interests, the benefi cial effects of which will be felt throughout the habitable world. The Senate have also been engaged in an im portant debate regarding the insufficient means of coinage at the United States mints. In the course of discussion it was stated that there is now in the Phi ladelphia Mint 8,000.000 dolls. worth of bullion wait ing coinage ; this sum, added to that which lies in the sub-treasuries, makes 17,000,000 dolls. of unem ployed money. The object of the debate has been to provide for the establishment of a mint in this city, and to authorise the payment of parties depositing gold-dust, without forcing them, as at present, to wait till it can be coined. These facilities are much wanted, and the granting of them, which is not doubted, will, it is supposed, divert to this country part of the gold which is now shipped from the Isthmus direct to England. The advices from Puerto Cabello are to the 6th inst. The threatened blockade of the coast by Lord Dun donald had been averted by the promptness with which the Venezuelan Congress engaged to pay within eight years 800,0001. claimed by British subjects for loss of property and imprisonment during the late revolution. The present conveyance is the first of the American line of mail steamers between this port and Liverpool. A trial trip made last week was considered perfectly satisfactory. The hull is constructed on a peculiar model, and is considered an improvement for mer chant steamers, but not so well suited to sailing ships or war steamers. Reliable private accounts from New Orleans to the 17th inst. state that there was almost a suspension of cotton shipments to Liverpool. Several vessels had sailed only partially loaded, while room was offered in others at 3-16 d. The shipments for the previous 15 days to England had been 29,000 bales, against 84,000 last year during the same fortnight. Telegraphic news to the 23d inst. has been since re ceived, giving the deficit at all the shipping ports as compared with last year on the same date at 574,000 bales. The total export since September 1 has been 980,000 bales; during the same period in 1849 it was 1,528,000 ; and in 1848, 1,180,000. It is estimated that the shipments to England this season cannot ex ceed 950,000 bales. Important as this may be considered, its bad effects would be sensibly diminished if the prospect for the next crop were what ought naturally to be looked for, considering the high prices obtained for the present. Daily intelligence is, nevertheless, conclusive that the season has thus far been unfavourable for planting, that it is fully one month later than usual, and that much of the land has still to be replanted. A demand for the China markets has assisted the holders of manufactured cottons, and materially re duced their stocks. In the public_ funds there has been considerable activity, and an amount exceeding 1,20,000 dolls. goes forward by this steamer; prices have conse quently advanced, and at 119 United States Six per Cent. stocks, payable semi-annually, and redeem able in 18 years., are only equal to Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stocks. This price bas already been ex ceeded for the coupons of 1868, which yesterday sold at 119 f ; the Six per Cents. of 1867.68 were take■ at 1184 to 1184; Pennsylvanian Five per Cents., 981; Indiana State Five per Cents., 791 to 794 ; Illinois Internal Improvements, 48 to 49; New York Six per Cents., 121/.

The petition for officers, men, and instruments has been granted by Congress, as will be seen by a resolution which yes terday was passed by a vote of 94 to 45. This re solution authorises the President to receive the vessels, and detail from the navy such commission and warrant officers and seamen as may be necessary and willing to engage therein ; supply them with suitable rations for not exceeding three years, and give the use of all necessary instruments as can be spared from the navy; the officers and men, in all respects, to be under the laws of the navy until their return, when the vessels shall be delivered back to Mr. Grinnell.—Times Correspondent.

Messrs. H. P. Ward and Thomas Kerr passed at the college, last week, for the rank of master. NEW PLAN FOR SECURING SHIPS' BALLAST.—Among numerous ingenious and useful inventions that are daily coming before the authorities and the public, attention has been drawn to a very simple but most successful me thod of securing ships' ballast by Mr. Primrose Lyon, of Stoke Gabriel, Devon, an experienced surgeon of the Royal Navy. During a life of long service in his pro fession he had witnessed and heard of a multiplicity of accidents, amounting in many instances to actual loss of life, by the displacement of the ballast in her Majesty's vessels, and in order to prevent those calamities and dangers, the worthy doctor has projected a pig of bal last, with dovetails at both ends, made to fit into each other in succession, whereby the ballast so stowed forms an immoveable pavement in the hold of the ship. This plan for securing the ballast is no less specially appli cable to yachts than to men-of-war, and the model re quires to be seen only to be understood. Lieutenant Edward Hardy, who some time since was appointed extra clerk to the Hydrographer's-office, Admiralty, and for his ability, is likely to be established in the department, earneil first-class certificates for steam and gunnery, served as gunnery lieutenant in the Vernon for three years, and during the previous three years served in the Queen and Formidable in the same capacity. The two clerks of the Victualling ,Department, Somerset Hou.4e, who appeared before a magistrate on account of a fracas in the Haymarket (on which occa sion the case was sent to the sessions), and who were suspended by the Admiralty, were last week superseded, and the vacancies filled up. Mr. Cox, extra clerk in the Accountant-General's Department, has been established in one of the vacancies. Aid, naval lighter, has sailed from Chatham with ordnance stores for the use of the coast blockade on the coast of Essex. Birkenhead, iron troop frigate, Commander Stevens, left Queenstown on the 13th f r Jersey, with troops. Ilibe•rnia, 104, has been taken into No. 5 Dock at Devonport, to have her buttum cleaned, and any neces sary repair. Harpy iron steam-tender, Second Master Commander Beatson, arrived at Buenos Ayres from Monte Video Feb. 23. Linnet, 6. packet-brig, Lieut.-Commander Creser, ar rived at Tenerifre April 22 from Falmouth and Ma deira, 14 days from Falmouth, and sailed with the mails for Rio.

Otter, old steam-packet, left Holyhead on the 13th for Kingstown, to convey stores from the Wolf depot to Chatham, where she will be paid off. Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, with the flag of [PRICE SD. Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., arrived at Buenos Ayres, Feb. 18, from Monte Video, and remained on the 25th. Vulture, steana-frigate, at Devonport, having a defect in one of her valves, is to be taken into dock to have it repaired. Vernon, 50, having had her defects made good at Chatham, and fitted for a state of ordinary, was put out of dock on Saturday afternoon, and the President, 50, has been taken into dock to have her defects made good. THE DOCKYARD BRIGADE/I.—The drilling of the Devonport Dockyard Brigade is to take place on Satur day afternoons, the number of drills to be ten, and the men are to work extra during the week, that no time may be lost. The Royal Dockyard Brigade at Chatham commenced their summer drills on Friday evening last; the total number of drills will be only six this season, and two field days. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL. A public meeting of the friends and supporters of King's College was held yesterday in the great hall of that institution, for the purpose of promoting the accu mulation of a fund for the building and endowment of a new hospital ; the structure at present occupied in Por tugal -street being quite inadequate to the demands upon the resources of the establishment. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury took the chair at twelve o'clock. Among those present we observed, the Bishops of Oxford, Lichfield, Ripon, and Chichester, the Rev. R. Burgess, the Rev. M. S. Anderson, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, the Earl of Hsrrowby, Lord Ashley, Lord Redstock, Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., and Major Edwardes. The Most Rev. CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings, Shortly after which the Duke of Cambridge entered the ball, and was most warmly . greeted. His Royal Highness took his seat in a chair, reserved, at the right. hand of the Archbishop. The Rev. Dr. Jelf, Principal of the College, then read the report, of the chief points of which the following is an abstract:— From Ai), il 15, 1840 (when tbe hospital was opened for the reception of patients), to December 31, 1849 (a period of Jess than ten years), there have been re lieved— From the parishes of St. Clement Danes, St,. Giles, and St. Mary-le-Strand, in the imme diate neigbourhood of the hospital ... ... 74,750 From the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, St. Paul, Covent garden, the Liberty of the Rolls, St. Dun stan and the Temple, St. Bride and White friars ... ... 36,830 From St. George Bloomsbury, St. Ann, Soho, St. Pancras, Clerkenwell, and Marylebone... 19,343 From Lambeth and Southwark 3,694 From Westminster 3,591 From the City of London ... ... 2,904 From the environs of London ... 4,285 From the rural districts.. ... 2,917 Making, with 1,181 patients whose parishes or places of abode are unknown, a total of 130,194. STATISTICS OP THE INCREASE o PATIENTS. 1840 ... 1850 .. IMO than 10,000 ... More than 22,000 STATISTICS OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS. 1839 ... ... 65 Matriculated Students. 1860 ... 163 Matriculated Students. These pupils, with other occasional students, are in attendance at the hospital. The Bishop of OXFORD proposed the first resolution, in the following terms:—" That, considering King's College Hospital as a charitable institution, the present building, which was hardly sufficiently commodious in 1840, when the number of patients was only 4,384, is become wholly inadequate to the due reception of its inmates and out-patients now that the aggregate number amounts to 23,309." The Right Rev. Prelate, in sup porting the resolution, observed, this was one of those works of Christian charity which had no drawback in the estimate of its merit and utility. It was not one of the misapplications of charitable feelings; for no man ever broke a limb to gain admission to an hospital to have it set; but it was extending help to those who had no stores, whose earnings were barely sufficient to defray ordinary and necessary expenses, but possessed no means for meeting the extraordinary expenses of sickness or accident.—(Hear, hear.) The report alluded to the object of the institution being to give skill in medicine, as well as to promote charity; and that was an especial benefit. The medical profession ought to be educated under peculiar advantages, for his opinion was, that unless the natural effect of medical studies upon the mind of the student were influenced by higher considerations, there could not be studies that were likely to inflict a greater moral injury. The very habit of considering the human body as a mere machine was of itself dangerous; and the counterpoise required to these impressions was religion.—(Elear, hear.) It was greatly on account of the principle of the institution being to embue medical students with this religious training that he da.mf d that institution pre-eminently worthy of the public support.—(Cheers.) The Earl of lIARROWBY briefly seconded the reso lution. ' The resolution was then put and carried. Lord ASHLEY, who was received with cheers, pro posed the next resolution. It was unnecessary, he said, for him to enter into details, after the facts de tailed in the report had been read; but he must ex press his strong feelings of surprise and joy—surprise that the great principle should be lost sight of in this kingdom—that science, and particularly medical science, should be connected with religion in the institutions for study; and joy, that this great truth had been at last discovered, and that the blessed church, the Church of England, would set the glorious example. The tact that this institution carried out this great principle assured him that God would bless the under taking. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the next resolution, as follows:—" That, viewed in its rela tions to the flourishing condition of the medical depart ment of King's College, London, the present hospital, with respect to its size and arrangements, is wholly un satisfactory. That a large body of medical men are al ready dispersed over the kingdom, who furnish indispu table evidence to the good effects of the training, religious and professional, which they have enjoyed is King's College. That there is an increasing number of students attracted by the reputation of the college who are cheerfully undergoing an improved course of discipline, and who promise not only to main tain, but even to raise the character of the insti- tutiun. That clinical instruction forms an essential part of the professional teaching, inasmuch that the wards of the hospital are, in ftsct, so many additional lecture rooms attached to the college; but that the accommoda tion afforded at this time to 159 medical students, is the same as that which was not more than sufficient, in 1835, when only 69 students were in attendance." The Rev. J. BURGESS cordially seconded the resolu tion, and he rejoiced that this institution told to the world that religion and science were not to be separated, but that one should act as handmaid to the other. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Bishop of LICHFIELD proposed the third resolu tion—" That, keeping in view the joint objects for which the hospital was Instituted, this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to raise the necessary funds for building and endowing a new hospital." The Right Reverend Prelate said that this resolution had been put in his hands on account of his peculiar connexion with King's College. He had been a member of the council from the first foundation of the institution, and be had had the honour of filling the chair, now so admirably occupied by their respected principal, Dr. Jelf.— (Cheers.) His connexion with the college had been among the happiest portions of his life, for he had felt _ that he was bearing his part in a work of charity a and wisdom.—(Cheers.) Af.er a complimentary allusion Major Edwardes, who had been a student at the ted col lege,for he said that the sum of 50,0004 was wanted the purposes of the hospital. It for this. but it would be a shame if it could n not wasa large amount, such objects in such a country and metropolis ecollected a s Major EDWARDES, w ho was received with several rounds of cheering, sa id that when, twelve years ago, ho had attended the theolog i cal anticipated the changes that classes of King's Col lege, he could not hav e had since worked. It certainly required no v er y v i v id ful an instructo r as the Ri g ht Rev. Prelate who imagination to perc eive that so able a divine and so SIICCeSS had just spoken w as likely to be elevated to th e b enc h h —(Cheers)—but he never c ou ld h ave anti he should have the hono ur o f followit , g at this cielted a a m eet that ing the leading of the Bishop of Lichfield.— ( n ea r, hear.) Little was left to him, in seconding the resolution , to say of the merits of this instit ut i on; but one point, which as a military man, he could appreciate, he would advert to, as strongly recom mending the medical school, and that was its discipline. --(Hear, hear.) He could not but admire the stringent discipline to which the medical students were subjected. This was u new feature in medical schools, and being now adopted in this college was a forcible reason for a further endowment of the hospital.—(Hear, hear.) The Gallant Major then turned round and concluded his speech by a short address to a knot of students who stood behind him, exhorting them to submit cheerfully and bop , fully to the excellent training they were receiv. ing, and by assiduous attention to their duties, to gain a victory fur mind over matter. The gallant officer sat down amidst repeated cheers. The resolution was then put an'l carried. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then proposed, in brief, but handsome and eulogistic terms, the thanks of the meeting to the Most Rev. Prelate in the chair. The vote was carried by acclamation. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY acknowledged the attention, repeating his confidence in the principle s ,?1 11 which the institution was founded; and the Meeting dis solved, a collection having been made. tiE Di N In the evening nearly 600 gentlemen sat down to dinner in the noble ball of Lincoln's Inn, which had been kindly granted by the Benchers for the occasion. Major E lwardes was in the chair, supported right and lett by the Earl of Harrowby, Earl Howe, Lord Feversham, Lord RadstoCk, Hon. Mr. Stanley.

The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN, who was received with loud cheers said on no day throughout the year could the health of her most gracious Majesty ke proposed at any table in this happy land without exciting the utmost enthu siasm and loyalty, but it was with peculiar felicity the toast was given on this day, which was fixed for the ,celebration of her most gracious Majesty's birthday. He had, therefore, great pleasure in proposing the toast, which he had no doubt this great assembly would do full honour to.—(Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family, including the Duke of Cambridge, who took such an activ e p art i n their proceedings in the morning —(Cheers)—and the Duches!es of Kent, Cambridge, and Gloucester, who had consented to become patronesses of the approaching concert.—(Loud cheers.) The CxAxRasAN said the next toast was one which be was sure would be received with enthusiasm by every well-wisher of King's College, for it was the very foun dation of that college, the keystone of its very arch—he meant the Church.—(Cheers.) The Venerable Archdeacon RODIN/lON returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then said, the toast which he had next to propose was one well worthy of the homage of this great assembly. The noblest piece of moral and material architecture of which man was capable was an hospital.—(Cheers.) And he need not remind them that the institution they had met that day to celebrate was the budding and endowment fund of King's College Hospital. It was his painful duty to tell them that during the year hundreds of cases had been refused admission to the hospital from sheer want of room. He did not stand there to appeal to their sympathies on behalf of the 150,000 cases that had been relieved; he would rather call to their minds the more painful eases that had been refused and driven elsewhete, because King's College Hospital was too small. Too small, in deed, was not the proper word to express its condition. He would rather say it was miserably deficient, and sun illustration of that he could state that one room in the hospital did the duty of five rooms—it was board-room, dining-room, secretary's room, room for receiving and discharging patients, and a chapel.—(H ear, h ear.) F or increased accommodation and increased support they looked to the present company, nor did he think they would look in vain. The Gallant Chairman then re ferred to a speech delivered by Sir Robert Peel, when presiding over the anniversary festivAl of this institution, in 1847, in which the Right Honourable Baronet referred to the wonderful increase of London in population, in wealth, in piece's of amusement, is squares, and street*, and theatres, within the last hundred years; but re marked, as a painful contrast, that there was scarcely any increase whatever in the number of benevolent in stitutions. It might seem presumption, be- continued, in him to diff.r from so great a man, but-he Hillht say that his difference arose from s ncere conviction, toe having recurred home atter a ten years' ab,e,,ce in a f!reigu land—(Loud cheers)—he must bear his testi mony, and he did so with great delight—with the most patriotic emotions—to having observed a great increase in the number of benevolent institutions—(Cheers)—and particularly in the neighbourhood of London. This was a delightful illustration of the expanding influence a the Christian chat acter, and its power to draw the rich and poor closer together in the mutual relations so well de scribed by the poet— " When none were for a party; When all were for the State; When the rich man helped the poor, And the poor man loved the great" (Loud cheers.) He begged to propose the toast of " The King's College Hospital," success to its building and endowment fund, and prosperity to its annual income. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Treasurer and Benchers of Lincoln's Inn," with thanks to then for per mitting the use of the hall. _ _ Rev. Mr. ANDERSON, chaplain to Lincoln's Inn, re• turned thanks. The Cusiamert then proposed " The Patrons of the Festival."—(Cheers.) The Hon. Mr. STANLEY returned thanks, but we re gret to say he was quite inaudible where we were placed. Lord FAVERSHAM then rose to propose the " Health of the Chairman."—(Enthusiastic cheering.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. He should be un grateful indeed if he did not acknowledge th• obliga tions he owed to King's College, and the value of the education he received there had been to him in his after career. He had great pleasure in stating that several students of King's College had recently distinguished themselves in India.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Earl of Harrowby and the Council of King's College, for which the garl of HARROWIIT returned thanks. The other toasts were—Alderman Copeland, the Treasurer of the Hospital—Re►. Dr. Jelf, and the Build ing and Endowment Committee—J. G. Sambrooke, Esq., Deputy-Chairman—The Committee of Management— and the Medical Officers. The subscriptiuus during the evening amounted to 3,5001., including a princely donation of 5001. hum Mr. Cabbell, M.P. We regret to state that the enjoyment of the evening was sadly marred towards the close by an unseemly riot, arising out of the wretched arran g em e nt o f t h e offi cers at the hall. As usual on such occa , ions, gentlemen lett their hats and great costs with servants at the dour, receiving tickets bearing a distinctive number in ex change. Owing in part to the great crowd coming out at once, but still more to the. d , fective arrangements, the corresponding tickets which ought to have been on the coats were removed, and no gentleman could identify his own property, and a scene of indescribable confu sion ensued. Hats and coats were thrown I ' r em hand to baud. Sometime& two gentler - 1:n n would be struggling tor one vestment, which gave rise to angry fes hogs, and on one oeca,ion at least a pitch( d notch. aas tt:e cons,quence between the enraged gentlemen, who bela boured each other with mutual good-wits t:d tboy were separated by their less excited neighbours.
