their pardon for it. He had come amongst them—he v had . been received with the utmost kindness, and •he could only again assure them that he should feel bound to the end of his life to endeavour to do everthing in his power to promote their welfare and prosperity.— (Cheers) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to bear testimony to the excellent manner in which the mayor and corporation of Sunderland discharged their duties, and concluded by moving " The Mayor and Corpora tion of Sunderland" amidst loud cheers. the MAYOR briefly returned thanks, and expressed his conviction that the inhabitants of the town were under the deepest obligations to Mr. Hudson, as with out his patronage sad exertions it would have been im posible to have secured the construction of the docks. A variety of other appropriate toasts were then drunk, and the company did not separate until past four o'clock; after which about 500 of the workmen were regaled with a substantial dinner, at the expense of the directors. In the evening there was a ball at the Athenmum Rooms, which was very numerously and respectably at tended; and the Hendon Gardens and other popular places of amusement put forth a host of attractions for the gratification of their patrons. --- ROYAL GEN ERAL ANNUITY SOCIETY, For allowing Permanent Annuities to Decayed Merchants, Bankers, Profe•slonat Men, Master Manufacturers, Tradesmen, their Widows and Clerks, and Single Females their Daughters, from all parts of :he United Kingdom.

Ia addition to the system of granting annuity, 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 respectability 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 missry, if not 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, Nebel e the decencies and proprieties of life can be pro perly maintained, and the old age of the inmates preserved from all these eisagreeable eirounstauces to which we have adverted?

WIND S.W.—light breeze and fine sunshiny weather. cast an enormous amount of odium upon the scheme out of which has sprouted up so pre- maturely and poisonously this Upas of Innovation. So soon as the multitude begin to discover the exorbitant rates actually levied upon them at the behest of a Commission entirely subservient to the caprice of the clerical party, so soon will their indignation at that most monstrous violation of the popular rights mani fest itself in an agitation such as must inevitably prove most formidable. Of that the Cabinet may rest assured. Honourable Gentlemen may be as ob sequious and apathetic as they please just now, when the project is still nothing more than a project, but directly the theory is beginning to be carried into veritable operation her MAJEsTv's Go vernment will find that the masses are not so easily to be trifled with in reference to matters to all of us of the most sacred import. It is quite preposterous to expect that the population will consent unmurmur ingly to arrangements by which our dead bodies are to be disposed of in a manner the best calculated to forward the pecuniary interests of the Church Establishment without regard to any other con sideration than the whim of a clerical Com mission. Besides which, the transference to the board of management of the unconditional right of levying rates, those rates being at once imposed and received (or, at any rate, a large portion of them) by the ecclesiastical functionaries, is a change so mon strous and so diametrically opposed to the very first principles of our Constitution, that the public cannot be expected to yield without having recourse to the most violent protestations. _ . Throughout the whole of the Ministerial move• ment in regard to the plan of extra. mural interment—that movement which is being consummated by this lamentable enact ment—it is distressing to observe the systematic avoidance by the Government of anything that might be construed into the recognition of the merits of the chief originator of this originally beneficent project of innovation. From the Hon. and Gallant Member for Middlesex, at any rate, Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER obtained that just meed of eulo gium in the British House of Commons to which he was conspicuously and eminently en titled. Great as may have been, and as un doubtedly have been, the exertions of other men in the cause of sanitary reform, to Mr. WALKER is indi vidually owing the entire credit of having contrived, commenced, and conducted to its present state of de velopment this noble and laudable agitation. He it was who first directed public attention to the horrors perpetrated in our metropolitan graveyards, and who thereby instigated the advocates of improvement to seek a general change in the way of sanitary amelio rations. His time, his health, his property, have equally been dedicated by him to the furtherance of his humane undertaking, to the exposure of those un seemly enormities, and to the consequent removal of an abomination, the fruitful source of periodical pes tilence. Yet, of all men in England, Mr. WALKER is the one whose services have been the most pertina ciously overlooked by the Government, whose re commendations have been the most contemned, and whose very existence has been sedulously ig nored. Experience has taught us to regard this as so surely the recompense of great public benefactors, that the circumstance alluded to was to us no cause whatever of astonishment. On the contrary, it is only what we might have anticipated. Still, while feeling no surprise at this paltry evidence of ingratitude, we must confess that as exponents of public opinion, and as sympathisers in the labours of these same public benefactors (among whom Mr. G. A. 'WALKER is not the least distinguished), we have been pained at the shameful ill-treatment with which the Originator of the whole Sanitary Movement has been repaid for his exertions. Not merely, moreover, has this gentleman been destined to experience this con duct from her MAJESTY'S Ministerial advisers, but his most explicit statements have been actually called i❑ question for their veracity. For example, those horrid occurrences mentioned by him as having transpired in the November of 1846 in the St. Giles's Cemetery, St. Pancras—(Lectures on the Actual Condition of the IVletropolitan Grave-yards, Lecture 11., pp. 4-5) have been de nied as so many fictions in the printed report of the Messrs. AUSTIN and RAWLINSON. For tunately, we observe from another printed document, a letter addressed by MY. ALEXANDER MARSHALL to the inhabitants of St. Giles's parish, respecting the S'. Giles's vaults, graveyard, and cemetery, that a meeting is very likely to be speedily convened in that locality, when Mr. WALKER himself will be afforded an opportunity, of ratifying his assertions, and of demonstrating the shameless manner in which his details have been doubted, and himself most egregiously maligned. We await these explanations with all possible curiosity and with the utmost con fidence. In another column will be found an account of the opening of the new docks at Sunderland, on Thursday last. These docks, which are excavated and built in a space recovered from the sea, and extending over an area of several acres, are unquestionably a great na tional work, and do infinite honour to the head which planned them and the enterprising spirit which carried the plans into operation. I❑ these days of peaceful advance, of moral and scientific progress, when a noble work like the Sunderland docks has, after infinite toil and ceaseless anxiety, been completed, we cannot refrain from sympathising in the hearty cheers and ecstatic feelings 'which pervaded the thousands who assembled to wit ness their opening and share the triumph of the occasion. If it be the highest and first aim of a public jour nalist—and it is—to hold the balance even—to write fearlessly, but impartially—to be a faithful chro nicler and a candid reviewer—we hope his proper meed of honour and applause will be generously given in this instance to Mr. GEORGE HUDSON. With a foreseeing judgment and an indefatigable energy he was the chief promoter, we believe, of this stupendous undertaking. When others held aloof— when evil omens and unkind prophecies abounded, he brought to this work the support of an enterprising mind and an undaunted resolution. Success at length has so far crowned his efforts. High hopes have suc ceeded the surmisings of fear, and thoughout the north of England, at least, Mr. }lmmo/I is regarded as an immense benefactor to the town, the people, and the trade of Sunderland. His conduct generally as their representative in Parliament had, as is well known, made him ex tremely popular with his constituents, but the exhibi tion of feeling among all classes and parties on Thui'sday last was a full and decisive proof that past events , have not deprived him of the affections or shaken the confidence of his constituents. Of the thousands who thronged the town not one voice was raised in condemnation or censure. At the luncheon, where from 700 to 800 of the influential persons of the port and neighbourhood were assembled, his health was drunk amidst " continued and uni versal cheering." We admire this—we like to see honest applause in return for honest services. Mr. HUDSON has done well for Sunderland, and Sunderland has done well' in returning her gratitude as became her. We, too, would join in awarding to Mr. HUDSON our tribute of commendation for the ability, zeal, and spirit he has shown in the successful prosecution of this great national undertaking : " Bunt Inc etian sua prsenia laudi --- - - - - On Tuesday week the Cork Steam-ship Company launched from their extensive shipyard at Cork a new screw steamer, the Pelican, one of the largest and most imposing vessels of this description in the mercantile marine of the cpoeur perfect o finish n s i r s , spectators, t o a f t o t r h s United Kingdom.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. I At the sitting of the Assembly General DE LA IIITTE announced the termination of the dispute with England, and the immediate return of M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS to London. The English Government has consented to substitute the convention of London for the treaty of Athens. Thus has terminated this dispute concocted in the salons of the Princess LIEVEN by General Ds LAHITTE and the Legitimatists of France, in conjunction4with M. DE KESSILIEF, the Russian Minister, and with the English Tories, for the purpose of endeavouring to drive from power an English Minister, and to substitute for him one who would sacrifice the interests of Eng land, aid the Ministers of France to betray the Republic, and, by re-organizing the Holy Alli ance, make all Europe virtually Cossack. The quarrel was commenced without a shadow of a cause by General DE LAHITTE, and was continued open purposely to aid Lords STANLEY and ABERDEEN in their endeavours to bamboozle the House of Lords into a repudiation of an English and an approval of a ' Russian line of policy. It answered its purpose, but since Monday last the intrigue has, by the letters of Mr. Wyss, been so signally exposed, the treachery of General LAIIITTE and Baron Gaol throughout the whole of the mediation been so completely laid bare, and the solidarite between the Russian AUTOCRAT, anxious to seize Constantinople, the French Abso lutists anxious for the restoration of HENRY V. and the parti-pretre, and the English Tories anxious for the restoration of the regime of robbery, miscalled Protection—has been so clearly established that the further con tinuance of the differences could not but damage the cause of the conspirators, and therefore the quarrel is settled by General DE LAHITTE, almost as hastily as it was picked, for the purpose of preventing, if pos sible, any reference to these intrigues in the course of the discussion on Mr. Ronucces motion on Monday. The'reactionary journals, however, continue their denunciations of everything like a liberal policy— even the Duke of WELLINGTON is not suf ficiently Conservative to please the Russian • party, and the Assemblie Nationale publishes an attack on the Duke, the calumnious virulence of which is only equalled by its tedious dulness. According to the Siecle, the disputes between Ge neral D'HAUTPOUL and. General CIIANGARNIER have become so frequent and so aggravated, that the PRE SIDENT has determined to get rid of both of them, and to appoint General MANGAN to the War Ministry and General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS to the command of the garrison of Paris. In the Assembly yesterday, M. FLANDIN read his report on the Dotation Bill. In . Committee an amendment was proposed identical with the previous report. The discussion was adjourned till Monday. The club of the Conseil d'Etat rejects the Govern ment Bill, but agrees to allow two millions for ex penses of installation and representation. The Mi nisters will, it is considered, carry the measure by a slight majority. The Assembly has referred the proposition of M. FEBVREL, imposing a duty on income derived from moveable property, to the Committee on the Budget. The following is the weekly bank account: — Francs.

The Minister of War has ordered the admission into the Hotel des Invalides of an old soldier named KVLOMBESET, born in Poland, and who is said to be 126 years of age. This man, who held the rank of a non-commissioned officer, was born at the commence ment of the reign of Lours XV., and assisted in the wars against FREDERICK the Great. He was present at the battle of Fontenoy. At the commencement of the revolution of 1793 he was too old to serve. He was 90 years of age at the fall of NAPOLEON. He has seen ten forms of government in France. PARIS BOURSE, JUNE 21.—Five per Cents., 93f. 95c. ; Three per Cents., 56f. 40c.; Bank of France, 2,235 f.

The Plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia at Frankfort are waiting for further instructions from their respective Courts ; till they arrive the Congress will not pass any vote or come to any decision. It is reported that Hesse has retused to allow the Baden troops intended to be sent into Prussia to pass through its territory. Hanover has officially announced a plan of a third German Bund, formed of itself, Oldenburg, the Hanse Towns, .and all the northern territory op posed by its material interests to the protective com mercial policy of South Germany, which the Prus sian Minister has given some indications of following. The journals describe the German fleet lying at Stettin as going to ruin from the failure of the funds for its support, in consequence of the uncertain posi tion of the Central Government.

Unhappily that miserable expedient by which the G o vernment have endeavoured to evade the opposi tion of the clergy in the scheme of carrying ~,uta generals ystem of ext ramural interments— a general system, we say, because the establishmentof metrop o . Titan is only A prelude to the formation of provincial cemeteries—appears in a fair way of proving altogether successful. Having been connived at most shame fully in Committee, and allowed to pass through the first, second, and third readings without any emenda tion whatever, the Metropolitan Interments Bill now awaits the Royal signature to become the law of the land, a more pernicious measure never having been permitted to resolve itself into an enactment. Every additional consideration of this melancholy contrivance only convinces us the more that the odious concessions made through it to the ecclesias tical establishment must prove most detrimental to the interests of the great cause of sanitary ment. The ev il consequenc es certain to accrue fliohl the operation of th e new Act cannot _but COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(Before the Lord Commissioners the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND and Mr. Baron ROLFE ) The Vice• Chancellor of England and Mr. Baron Rolfe sat to-day in the old Hall, Lincoln's Inn, to hear appeal motions. INDERWICY V. SNELL. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the deciajon of the Vice-Chancellor Wigrana, grant ing an injunction restraining the defendants, who are directors of the London Omnibus Conveyance Company, from doing, authorising, or permitting any act to be done by them as directors, and from in any manner pre venting, or hindering, or interfering with the plaintiffs in the exercise of their respective powers, the one as chairman and the other as a director of the company, until the question of the validity of the plaintiffs' re moval, and or the eledtion of two of the defendants in their places, was determined. The plaintiffs complained that they had been illegally removed by the vote of a meeting not duly convened, and the Vice Chancellor Wigram, after hearing the case at considerable length, granted the injunction it was now sought to set aside. The ►SOLICITOR-GENERAL, with whom was Mr. Be . thell, Mr. James, Mr. Glasse, and Mr. Byron, opened the appeal, and the case occupied the Court the whole day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

'Before the Lord Chief Justice WILDE, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr. Baron ALDERSON, Mr. Justice COLE RIDGE, and Mr. Baron PLATT.) THE QUEEN V. WATTS.—JUDGMENT. It will be recollected that the defendant in this case, Walter Watts, who was the lessee of the Olympic Theatre, was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of stealing a piece of paper, of the value of twopence, but in reality a cheque for 1,5001., the property of the Globe Insurance Company, in whose office he held a situation as eh rk. 59 6% 2% 94 An appeal was subsequently made to this Court to quash the indictment on various grounds. The two principal points urged in support of the appeal were, first, that as the cheque, a piece of paper, was brought from the bank of Messrs. Glyn by a messenger and placed in the hands of the defendant, he could not be found guilty of stealing that which had never entered into the possession of the company, and, secondly, that as he was a shareholder in the company, a conviction for taking proTerty in which he had a joint interest could not be maintained. 36% 33 4 7!i Chiet Justice WILDE now delivered the judgment of the Court, observing that their Lordships were of opinion that all the counts in the indictment were sup ported by the evidence. The directors had the entire management of the' company's affairs, and the defendant was to be considered as a servant in their employ. It was his duty to receive and keep the cheques which were entrusted to' him by the company, and, therefore, as soon as they were placed in his custody, they must be takeri as being in the posses sion of his masters. The case was precisely similar to that of a butler who was entrusted by a silver smith with some plate for his master, and who, after keep ing it in his possession for some time, eventually ab stracted that plate, and subsequently disposed of it or converted it to his own use. The Court were also of opinion that no difficulty arose on the question of joint ownership, because, though the defendant was a share holder in the company, all the responsibilities of a ser vant attached to him in respect of any property placed in his charge by his employers. On these grounds, there fore, the Court considered that the conviction ought to be affirmed. 13% I Conviction affirmed accordingly. - 25% 2X 16 Li 734 17 3 / 4 831/2 SPOR'T'ING IN TEL LIGENCE.

THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.—This house was last night crowded in order to witness the amateur performance in aid of the. Exhibition of 1851. The first piece was Love's Sacrifice. The playing of the amateurs was generally good, especially Mr. Woodin's, who played Aylmer. The parts of Margaret and lierminie were charmingly played by Miss Vining and Miss Florence Grey. These clever artistes kindly lent their professional aid on this occasion. The afterpiece 'vas Charles the Twelfth, which was very fairly played. The part of Eudiga, by Miss Florence Grey, was received with the Most boisterous applause, and this lady was called before the curtain at the end of the piece, to receive the plaudits of a delighted audience. THE NEPAULESE MINISTER.—The officers of the garrison at Woolwich have invited General Jung Bahadoor Koonwur Ranajee and his two brothers, Colonel Juggut Shumshere Jung Bahadoor and Colonel Dhere Shumshere Jung Bahadoor, vith the members of his suite, to a grand all, to be held in the spacious mess-room of the Royal Ar tillery Barracks, ea Thursday, the 27th ivataut• .... , .. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There was another monster concert yesterday morn ing in her Majest)'s Theatre. It was nnuer the direction of Mr. Balfe, and the whole musical strength of the es= tablisheneut was put in requisition. It began at two o'clock; and at five, when we found it necessary to leave two-thirds of the programme had not been got through. To give an account of such an entertainment is out of the question; the very names of the vocal and instru mental performers would make a long catalogue—to say nothing of the immense variety of pieces which they sang and, played. Amid a multitude of things, good in themselves, but familiar to musical ears, the programme presented a few interesting novelties: a fantasia on the violin, on favourite English airs, com posed and performed by Molique; a concertante for two pianofortes, with orchestral accompaniments, composed by Benedict, and played by Halle and him; a new solo on the violoncello on favourite Russian airy, by Piatti; and the andante of Beethoven's Kreutza Sonata, played by Benedict and Ernst. Among the vocal pieces, one of the most beautiful was " The Morning Song," the poetry by Barry Cornwall, and the music composed by Bene dict for Madame Sontag, who sang it for the first time, and was loudly Encored. There was also Balfe's new ballad, " The Joy of Tears," which Miss Hayes sung last week at Gode - froid's Concert, and which she repeated with undiminished applause. The theatre was crowded.

CANINE SAGACITY.—On Saturday last a dog, be longing to a gentleman residing in this city, suddenly left his master's house which he was not in the habit of doing alone, and found his way to the shop of Mr. Platt, chemist , where he attracted attention to his necessities by holding out one of his fore paws. On examination it was found that a large pin was deeply imbedded in the foot, and this seemed to have been unquestionably the cause of his visit to Mr. Platt, who had only a few days before administered to him dose of medicine ; the dog, of course, imagining that the gen tleman who had previously been of so much service to hint would now kindly act the part of an operator. lie accord ingly did so, and after the operation " Bow-wow" wagged, his thanks and returned home, much to the astonishment el his owner.- Chester Courant.

Nearly 200 guests were present, and the entertainmen t, which was of the usual magnificent character, passed off with every possible eclat. By a letter from a prifrata correspondent, dated at Constantinople, June sth, we learn that the steamer which arrived there from the Danube, on the day previous, brought the children of Kossuth, two boys and a girl-their mother having made her escape; the children, by the Emperor f express orders, were sent to their parents. They embarked with their aunt, Kossuth's sister, amidst the deepest expr es sions of public sympathy. At Orsova, where the influenc e of the police ceases, the lady underwent the strictest search, with a hope probably of discovering some clue to the lost crown of Hungary.
