The meeting was held in the large ball-room, where the attendance of members was very considerable, amounting to up wards of 700 ; Mr. R. H. Jones, the chairman of the man e e e e n c mi tsbotefh manifested,rrsre,ees apne the purpose for which we are assembled is, as you have s managersi think,to be added b y the to largethe present attendance undertake ttoogganf.sktthhetrohaetweshmtnae advertisement, officeeb rt e tph r i s ris s, present mso s e a ren i d nwt t h,w occasion,thatiictthho by-gone days, when it was necessary to solicit gentle there are now several competitors. (Hear, hear.) I am really happy to find it so, as it convinces me that the prosperity of this association is admitted, and that it is in a fair way of becoming deservedly appre ciated. (Hear, hear.) It has, however, not reached its present position without having entailed upon its managers a great amount of anxiety, and required from them much energy and perseverance. (Hear, hear.) The necessity for this election arises in consequence of the death of Mr. John Clarke, the resignation of Mr. John Dankaerts, and the ex pected resignation of Mr. Wm. Maitland. The de cease of Mr. Clarke was an event deeply regretted by every member of the board. He was beloved by us all. jlbuorsTaeAt jrhodehi (Hear, hear.) Strictly attentive to his• duties, of un assuming manners, yet firm in maintaining his opinion, ever ready to promote the cause of the distressed, never in a single instance giving way to temper ; showing re spect to his colleagues, and by them highly esteemed, and looked upon as the father of the board : such is a faint outline of the character of the gentleman whom death has severed from us. (Cheers.) I had the privi lege of representing the board at his funeral, which took place at Hastings, on which occasion I had the oppor tunity of hearing an interesting account of his last days. He died—after having served his employers for 46 years, and this association from its commencement—as he had lived, a Christian : his end was peace ! (Hear, hear.) The resignation of Mr. Dankaerts is also a great loss to us. He is a gentleman of sound and vigorous intellect, of excellent business habits, social, generous, frank, and of unswerving integrity. His good and amiable qualities endeared him to us all. (Cheers.) His resignation was a source of regret to himself, but it was unavoidable, from the necessity of his having to take up his residence in Antwerp, where be is now living in the prospect of hereafter re turning to this country to enjoy the fruits of his honest and persevering industry. (Hear, hear.) The Board having been informed by Mr. Maitland that he also would be obliged to resign his office of manager in a short time, have deemed it advisable to anticipate his resignation on the present occasion. This gentleman is now in the room ; but I cannot, nevertheless, refrain from telling you that we shall lose in him a most valuable and indefatigable colleague. (Hear, hear.) He has served you faithfully, and has indeed laboured for your interests with a degree of energy and perseverance sel dom exceeded. He is about to leave this country for India, as a partner in the firm he has served for many years. Before quitting this subject, I wish to read two letters, the one from the late Mr. Clarke, the other from Mr. Dankaerts. These letters were then read : they expressed the regret of the writers at their approaching separation from their colleagues, with whom they had acted so long with perfect harmony, and from whom they had received the utmost kindness and consideration. (The reading of these letters elicited much applause.) Gentlemen, I avow to you that I have an object in read ing these letters. It is to confirm what I have on many occasions stated to you, that we have been a united board, and while each member of it has always freely spoken and maintained his opinion on points discussed, yet we could argue and disagree in opinion without dis solving or even lessening our mutual friendship. (Cheers.) I trust that the gentlemen who may be elected on the present occasion will come amongst us determined to encourage by every means in their power a continuance of that friendship which has prevailed for so many years, and which I conceive to be essential to good management. (Hear, hear.) Pardon me for having dwelt so long on the past, butl have been parting with brothers, and the occasion you will allow demanded it of me. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will now proceed to business. I have received letters from seven gentlemen who have intimated their intention to offer themselves as candidates. The following are their names, viz. : Messrs. Coleman, Jennings, Nicholls, Pike, Rogers, Wood, and Woolley. These gentlemen being all duly qualified in accordilice with the rules, have been ad mitted candidates by a resolution of the board ; and it is for you to select three out of the seven now before you. The balloting papers will be issued at this table. where members will apply, under the letter of their name, and on receiving them they will adjourn to the adjoining room to ballot. I have now to request that the candidates may be proposed. The list is, as I said before, alphabetically arranged, and I would respect fully suggest that regard be had by the speakers to our limited time ; expressing my earnest desire that the pro ceedings may be conducted with that decorum and satis faction which has happily existed on all former occasions of our meeting together. (Cheers.) The ballot will commence at half-past seven, and close at nine. Mr. DURHAM proposed Mr. Coleman, for whose char acter he said he had the highest admiration, and who, if elected to the honourable post of manager , he was quite satisfied would do his utmost to promote the interests of the society. (Hear, hear.) Mr. REED, in proposing the next candidate, observed that all the members present deeply deplored the cir cumstances which called them together ; but, as three vacancies had occurred in the board, it now became necessary to elect others, and he was convinced that one and all had come there to do their duty, and to recipro cate the feelings which had been so well expressed by the Chairman. (Hear, hear.) It was right the meeting should be made acquainted with some of the qualifica tions of the gentleman he now nominated—Mr. Angus Jennings. (Hear.) He was a personal friend of his, and he had known him many years ; he was engaged in mercantile pursuits, was a man of high character and extensive connection, and exercised a kind of influence which was likely to conduce materially to the prosperity of the institution. (Hear, hear.) He (the proposer) had been some years a member of the Provident Clerks' Association, he had watched with plea sure its growing prosperity and the unanimity and energy which distinguished the board, and he felt confident that in proposing Mr. Jennings he was submitting to them one who was in every way qualified to maintain the high cha racter which that able body of gentlemen had hitherto borne. (Hear.) Mr. Jennings was not without some experience in life assurance, for he had done a great deal to resuscitate an important branch of the society, and on the principle that, being a partner in the concern, it was incumbent on him to use his utmost exertions to increase its success. (Hear, hear.) In the town of Liverpool he did much to increase their business, and if he had been re tained there somewhat longer, he might have accomplished a great deal more. He was, therefore, entitled to the confidence and respect of the members, because he bad shown in an unmistakeable manner a strong attach. ment to the society. (Hear, hear.) His was no new-born zeal, it was an innate zeal, coming from the heart, and of which he could not divest himself. It had been stated that the board should be composed of persons who were not clerks ; but, with all submis sion, he (Mr. Reed) thought the best governors of an in stitution professedly designed for the benefit of a parti cular class, were the members of that class themselves. (Cheers.) In such managers he would himself be dis posed to place the greatest confidence, believing that they best understood the nature and business of the society, and had the greatest love for it. (Hear, hear.) e t lphde h eo e tru s mos e soeetnn g hi: e er n whd t mheu l e ote m :semhs e sr. n as He was, therefore, prepared to say that Mr. Jennings was eminently qualified to sit at the board. It might be mentioned that he had every opportunity of devoting that time to the association which would be required for i rtn n or heu af d ees b e undesirable to remove the essential discharge of his duties. The members were td t hehwea w ee onnw i ud t to h lai ndrhs el yolabyi honourable o y l would notice that among the candidates there were three gentlemen who held the office of auditor.

Mr. REYNOLDS seconded the nomination of Mr. Jen nings. 484 - 494 14 pm i d— par pi i 1 1 i 3 2if i il 7i 7 lh 1 PROVIDENT CLERKS' MUTUAL LIFE ASSURA.NCE ASSOCIATION. 79 84 73 - 75 - 86 63i 3 25i 4i 431 481 48 Mr. CORNELL ne xt proposed kr. Francis Nicholls, whom he had known for 14 or 15 y ears , an d w h o , he con sidered, wa s perfectly capable of carrying out the objects of the soci e ty i n the capacity of a manager, being in the prime of life, andevincing in everything he undertook ,much energy' and industry. Mr. CLINCH cordially seconded the motion. He had also known Mr. Nicholls for some years, and he could say that he was a s t ra i g htf orwar d man of business, and he would be able to bring to the association a great amount of additional policies. (Hear.) Mr. GEORGE PINE then nominated Mr. John Pike. This gentleman, he said, had a c onsiderable amount of time at his disposal, and also an extraordinary capability of using it for the benefit of the institution. (Hear, hear.) In addition to this, he had had much experience in life assurance, and was not only willing to use his best exer tions to extend the business of the office, but had ac tually done so. and to no small extent. Mr. Pike held a situation in one of the offices connected with the House of Commons, the duties of which left a very large surplus of his time u noccupied, and this was a very important recommendation in favour of any candidate who aspired the particu lar a seat at the board. (Hear, hear.) Mr. atoe unimporta ntFI SHER seconded the discussion nomination. as to l ar Af si t t e u rs ion held by Mr. Pik e , an d an explanation in reference to certain Eitatemont4 contained 111 his circular ' that he hal. by his own exertions, and those of his friends, materials* augmented the society's business, Mr. REYNOLDS said he had great pleasure in proposing the nev- candidate, his old and esteemed friend Mr. Henry Rogers. He was a capital man of businesss, had a very extensive connection of an influential character, and had much time at his command. If elected, he was quite sure Mr. Rogers's conduct in office would redound more to his honour than anything that could now be said of him. (Hear, hear.) A MEMBER seconded the motion. Mr. IsEux nominated Mr. Sancton Wood, the senior auditor. He was an architect and surveyor, and being connected with engineering, he came in contact with the host of clerks who were employed in that great branch of modern commerce. From his professional knowledge, Mr. Wood would be of great us.; in advis ing the board with regard to making investments, mort ,,affe of houses and Lnd. (Hear, hear.) He was also peculiarly entitled to the confidence of the members, because, like all auditors, he had held a middle post be tween the body at large and the directors. They all knew that it was the business of an auditor to keep a check upon the directors. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Iselin) differed from Mr. Reed, who objected to the election of the gentlemen who held this office, on the ground that it would be somewhat perilous to take them from their present sphere of action and transfer the auditing of the accounts to other per sons. He added that if they did so they would find themselves at a loss. Why, that presupposed that there were not sufficient materials in the whole body of mem bers to make three auditors. (Hear, hear.) Surely provi dent clerks ought to be good. accountants. (Laughter.) Indeed, he had no doubt that half the room were per fectly qualified to act as auditors, for what could render a man more fit for such duties than the occupation of a clerk. (Hear, hear.) Therefore he must confess he did not participate in the apprehensions entertained by Mr. Reed. They might safely deal with the auditors on their separate merits, and without any fear of not being able to fill up the gap occasioned by their elec tion to a seat at the board. (Hear.) In many com panies an auditorship was, as a matter of course, considered a first step to the board, but he denied that right altogether, and thought it should not be set up as a bar to the free exercise of their votes. (Cheers.) But though it was not a right that a senior auditor should jump into the fi rs t vacancy, it was the reason of the thing, because he was intimately ac quainted with the accounts and had f a ithf ully dis charged the trust reposed in him bythe members at large. On these grounds he thought an auditor was one of the most desirable candidates they could have. Mr. Wood had served them long, and with great credit to himself in that capacity ; and he was, moreover, a m an of con. siderable personal qualifications, and of large and varied connexions, and none fitter could be selected for one of the vacant seats. (Hear, hear.) Mr. C. J. CORBETT briefly seconded Mr. Wood's nomi nation. Mr. RICHARD BELL proposed Mr. Charles Woolley,who had b een an au di tor f or some y ears , believing that in doing so he was only performing a duty to himself and the institution, in which he was most warmly interested. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Woolley had for sixteen years been established as a wine-merchant in Mark-lane, and by his partnership was connected with one of the most influential h ouses i n the city. His connexions were extensive, and it was that which they re quired to raise an institution like this, founded on such sure basis and such admirable principles, to the proud position which it ought to occupy. (Hear, hear.) It was not on the ground of his being an auditor alone that he asked for him the favourable consideration of the meeting, though the fact of his being repeat edly elected to that office was a pretty good proof of the estimation in which he was held by them all and that he would do his duty, but because he was a most excel lent man, and possessed great ability, and displayed much industry in all he undertook. (Cheers.) Mr. J. CRAMP, in seconding the motion, expressed his gratification at seeing such a formidable array of excellent men on the list of candidates, for it looked well for the stability and progress of the association, and showed that the office of manager was one which re quired men of first-rate qualifications. (Hear.) He entirely concurred with Mr. Iselin that, in electing new directors the auditors were entitled to their first con sideration, not as a right, but as a matter of reason. After a brief discussion the scrutineers were appointed, and the poll was at once proceeded with, and lasted two or three hours. When the numbers had been made up, the meeting resumed—Mr. R. H. Jones, again pre siding. The CHAIRMAN then announced the state of the poll to be as follows :- -Mr. Coleman 320, Mr. 'good 250, Mr. Rogers 207, Mr. Woolley 206, Mr. Nicholls 189, Mr. Jennings 102, and Mr. Pike 55. (Cheers.) I have therefore to declare (he continued) that Mr. Coleman, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Rogers are elected managers of the association. (Cheers.) I may now mention that by the election of Mr. Coleman and Mr. Wood we are deprived of two auditors, and that on the 14th of December next at 0 o'clock we propose to proceed to the election of two other gentlemen to fill up the vacancies thus created. The successful candidates then severally returned thanks for the honour conferred upon them. On the motion of Mr. LLOYD a resolution was passed recording the sense entertained by the meeting of the loss sustained by the death of Mr. Clarke, and of the great services rendered by the two retiring directors. Mr. MAITLAND, in acknpwledging the resolution, so far as it concerned himself and Mr. Dankaerts, said he was about to reside in India, but in whatever part of the world he was, he hoped he should never forget this in valuable association, in which he had laboured with so much pleasure, and for the welfare of which he should always be most anxious. A vote of thanks was also passed to the scrutineers, and the chairman, for his conduct in presiding over the meeting. Mr. R. H. JONES, in returning thanks, mentioned that during the present year no less than 409 policies, for 80,2001., had been accepted, being nearly equal to the whole of those accepted last year. The meeting then separated. CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. Last evening, a very numerously-attended meeting of the shareholders of this society was held at the Free masons' Tavern, for the purpose of drawing for SG rights of choice. Among the gentlemen present we noticed Viscount Ranelagh, W. Cribb, Esq., J. G. Maitland, T. M. Holmes, Dr. Worthington, J. Harrison, Esq., G. Morgan, Esq., C. L. Gruneisen, Esq., &c. Shortly before eight o'clock the chair was taken by Lord Ranelagh. The CHAIRMAN said, that on occasions like the present the shareholders prefer at once to proceed to business. He would, therefore, call upon Mr. Lewis to address them. By that gentleman's duing so, he would obviate the necessity of a number of directors making speeches. Mr. LEWIS said he would not dilate upon what had been already done, or go at length into dry details. In fixing the amount of shares at 501. he knew that the remark had been made, why should you charge 501. for that for which other societies only charge 30/. ? He would tell them the reason. It was in order to prevent tho shareholders from disappointment in the exercise of the franchise, that they had been daring enough to forsake the beaten track. In other societies, whose rights of seniority are still drawn in units, the lowest number, on our list was 537, and that number would be satisfied at the termination of the even ing's proceeding, so that there was every pros pect of numbers up to 2,000 or 3,000 soon receiving their allotments. In building upon their estates, certain restrictions were laid down, and rigidly enforced, so that one member would not be allowed to depreciate the property of another by the erection of a building of, comparatively speaking,, trifling value. If any gentle man drove in his gig round London, to Bow on the east, Hammersmith on the west, Hornsey on the north, and Dulwich, on the east, he would find in each of the direc tions he had mentioned, and on the estates of many societies, ample evidence of the necessity and benefit of the stringent restrictions laid down by this being enforced. On the Ealing estate two houses had already been built, si x more were i n course o f erect i on, and2o to at the expirati on o f 12 mont h s, no l ess th an f rom 25 would be complet e d. With res p ec t to the last purchased estate, St. Margaret's, near Richmond, it would, indeed, be a great pity to raze to the ground the beautiful man sion lately erected by Lord Kilmory, yet he ewoatsbeing able barbarous enough to say that, in the event of their n to dispose of it to the advantage of thejust society, sta tedaaw° case,it must come. He (Mr. Lewis) would showing the advantages held out by this share society and: A one member took an allotment, which cost . him a fourth, 191.12 g. a half, viz., 781. B s., and paid f age, It would take him 71 years to 71. pay instalm s ents of off the mortgage, and cent. 155.; and 5 per cent , interest, by mo nthly betweenthe ground rent he has actually received , therefore, take interest ontherel9oe/.125. at for 71 years, 10s., th.evect, difference and will receive, of 71. 10s. a year after the first , and his monthly instalments t o pay off the mortgage amounted to 18/. 155., interest th ereon total of 49/. 19 s. He thus g e t s, at the 4/. 25., making a end of 74 Years' a as freehold ground rent of 71. 10 s., worth at 25 years purchase 1 155., which has actually cost I e 1 78/. him out of his own pocket only 491. 19s. JTe (M r . Lewis) then concluded , by saying he had no doubt that I the future of the society would be as prosperous as its youth had been vigorous, and that, by the cambinel efforts of all, it would accomplish all the beneficial results expected of it. (Applause.) The drawing of the numbers then commenced, and were declared by the Secretary, viz. :-6265-6- 552, 5,567, 1,574, 3,871 -2-3, , 1,650.7 8, 2,973-4,7, 1,251-2, 1,406, 4,806, 1,557, 2,888-9, 2,890, 691, 3,581'2'3, 645, 4,678, 1,679, 3 ,762, 4,279, 4,571, 3,556, 3,905, 2,863-4-5, 559, 6,143, 2,984-5, 5,929, 1,609, 1,610, 4,913, 3,934, 7,052.3, 3,200, 3,202, 4,569, 4,570, 1,130-1, 2,413, 510, 1,220, 6,011, 4,345, 3,059-60-61, 1,120, 6,483, 3,156, 5,546, 5,727, 4,383-4, 6,843, 6,389, 3,945, 6,644, 1,878, 5,535, 5,810, 5,353, 6,781, 2,452, 1,501, 3,074, 3,118, 4,779, 4,780, 6,524, 1,644, 5,601-2-3. A vot of thanks was then awarded to the noble Chairman, who acknowledged it, and the proceedings terminated. MISCELL. Aubin Coal and Iron' Australian Agricult. Australsn. Pc i flc . Mail Australn.

All the peers present voted for the Earl of Seafield, and four of the signed lists were in faiour of the same peer ; the only exception being that of the Eirl of Crawford, who voted for the Earl of Perth. The officiating clerks declared the Earl of Sea field duly elected a representative peer of Scotland• LIEUTENANT BELLOT. ------ ) MEETING OF THE BRITISH RESIDENTS OF PARIS. An exceedingly numerous meeting of the English residents and visitors in Paris was held on Wednesday, in the great room of Mem-ice's Hotel, Rue de Rivoli, in order to take such measures as might be deemed expedi ent for paying a tribute of respect to the memory of the brave Lieutenant Bellot, of the French Imperial Navy, who perished in the late Arctic expedition. It is impos -1 sible to give anyt'iing like a complete list of the names of the gentlemen present at .this meeting, compr'ing as it did nearly all the principal residents in the capital. t iAt one o'cl oc k th e chair was taken by Lord H ow d en, F the British minister at the Court of Madrid, who in an eloquent speech paid due homage to the merits of this brave and accomplished young Frenchman. Lord POL TINIORE moved the first resolution, which was to the following effect :—"That this meeting of the British residents and visitors in Paris feel called up= thus pub licly to testify their admiration of the disinterested con duct and noble character of the late Lieutenant Bellot, of the French Imperial navy, who perished when cou rageously rendering service as a volunteer in the Arctic expedition under Captain Inglefield, of her Brittannic Majesty's navy, and they invite their countrymen in France to co-operate with them in paying a tribute of respect to his memory." The Hon. WILLIAM STUART, first attaché of the English embassy in Paris, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Earl of MUNSTER then proposed the second resolution, which was, that, "a subscription should be opened for carrying this object into effect." This was seconded by Mr. PICKFORD, the English Consul, and carried unanimously. Sir JOHN EASTHOPIE proposed the third resolution :—"That the honorary secretary be directed to communicate with the British Consuls in France, to request that they will kindly solicit subscriptions from the English residing in their respective localities." This was seconded by CAPTAIN HALL, and also passed. On the motion of Mr.. LOCKE, M. P., it was agreed :—"That a tablet with a suitable inscription be erected in an appropriat e place to the memory of the late Lieutenant Bellot, and that his Excellency the Min ister of Marine be requested to receive the surplus of the funds, to be invested by him for the benefit of the brother of the late Lieutenant Bellot, who is about to enter the Imperial navy. A committee was then appointed to carry out the above resolutions. Before the proceedings terminated a letter from the brother of Lieutenant Bellot was read, expressing the gratitude of his family for the sympathies evinced by the English nation; also, another letter from a party of French gentlemen in Paris, who expressed the pleasure the steps taken by the English nation to do honour to the memory of Lieutenant Bellot had given them, and asked to be permitted to join in the subscription. The letter, which enclosed a subscription of 100 f., was recei ved with loud cheering. NEW .ARCTIC EXPEDITION. It was unanimously agreed, at, the meeting of the members of the Geographical Society, on Monday night last, that the chairman, Sir Roderick Murchison, should solicit the Admiralty to send out another expedition to the Arctic regions in the summer of 1854, and none of the solicitations of the society have hitherto been made in vain. It is not intended at present to send out any more expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his missing companions in a north-west direction, although further supplies will, if found requisite, be sent to Beechey Island for Sir Edward Belcher's expedition. The new Arctic Expedition is intended to proceed in quite a contrary direction to any of the previous expe ditions sent out from this country in search of Sir John Franklin and the officers and crews of the Erebus and Terror discovery ships, now more than 8 years absent from England. The Phmnix, screw steam-sloop, will be again commissioned by Captain Edward Inglefleld, F.R.S., who was presented with a gold medal by the Geographical Society at, the last meeting, and he will proceed to the Arctic regions in her, and endeavour to make a passage into the Polar Sea to the north-east of Spitzhergen. In addition to the English bottles found , orne time ago on the coast of Siberia, and forwarded to England by the Russian Government, intelligence has been received that several deer had been found at Spitzbere-en with their ears cut—a proof that they had been in the hands of persons who had adopted that Eng lish mode of marking them. The Admiralty have liberally granted 50/. to eaph of the gun-room officers and 351. to each of the other officers of the Phcenix screw steam-sloop as compensation for the expenses they incurred in pro viding for their mess for a longer period than their recent four months' voyage would have warranted for so short a period, and as they had prepared their stocks to last for the winter, bad they been frozen up during their pro gress. The Admiralty also appear desirous of securing the services of several of the officers who served in the last voyage made by the Phoenix, Mr. Staunton, recently master of that vessel, having been appointed to the Dauntless at Portsmouth, as that frigate is to be kept for service at a home port, and Mr. Richards, recently serving as clerk in the Phoenix, to the Edinburgh gunnery-ship, at Devonport, and both these officers are desirous of again serving in any Arctic expedition that may be fitted out under the command of Captain Ingle field. Mr. Staunton, although appointed to the Daunt less, has obtained permission to remain at Woolwich for some time, to completely work out the observations he was engaged upon, first at Greenhithe, and afterwards in the Arctic regions, and now in the observatory of the compass department at Woolwich. THE POPE IN THE POLPIT.—OD Sunday afternoon, the Gth inst., the Roman Forum presented a spectacle of rare interest and scenic effect, Pio Nono having taken a sudden resolution to hold forth to the assembled mul titude from the steps of the church of San Giuseppe del Falegnami, over the Mamertine Prison, whither the ancient crucifix, which has been adored there for many centuries, had just been brought back in the midst of a splendid processional train, after its 15 days' sojourn in the church of San Carlo al Corso. His Holi ness was accompanied by his Court and the Cardinal Vicar, and took the text of his sermon from the para ble of the sower, in the 13th chapter of St. Matthew, and dwelt forcibly upon th e verse, " But while men , slept, his enemy came a n d sowed tares among the wheat and went his way." Without making any direct oli ttpai a c rr a et l sy, a a l d l n u i ds s s i o e t n nh s s elocn h es i a s s e H I esosli representedn e s s evidentlyinsidiousnesss withmind hinted which bylt )t htthe were sown by the inimicus homo, repre se n o t f i n h g i , s n o doubt, rep u bli can i sm ; but the main tendency dis course was merely moral, and was delivered with ex treme energy of diction and abundance of oratorical ges ticulation. Altogether, his Holiness took a very gloomy view of the morals of his subjects, and told them he regretted that they had made so little progress in spiritual ref ietiation since he had last exhorted them to repent from the pulpit of St. Andrea della. Valle six )'ears ago, but he trus ed to obtain the divine blessing for them, through the intercession of the apostles Peter and Paul, over whose prison he then stood. The Pope then followed the crucifix into the church, listened to the Ambrosian hymn, and received the blessing of his sacristan, Monsignor Castellani ; after which, accompanied by the Cardinal Vicar, his suite, and the Roman municipality, and preceded by the ban ners of the 14 rioni, or districts of Rome, he slowly ascended the right hand road to the Capitol, turning back once more to give his benediction to the crowd that filled the Forum below, from the Temple of Concord to that of Antoninus and Faustini, stretching nearly as far as the Arch of Titus. The pe,ple, although by no means enthusiastic, were respectful, and the beauty of the day, the richness and variety of the costumes, and, above all the classic resemblance of the locality, rendered the whole scene extremely impressive. GRAND AQUATIC/ SPORT.—In despite of the approach of winter, three great matches have been made, to take place in the middle of next month, at Newcastle-upon- Ty ne . They are all of an important character, in volving the question of superiority between th e Thames and the North-country watermen ; and, al though the articles of agreement of two out of three have not been duly executed, money has already been speculated in anticipation of the result. Th e greatest of these events is for the championship of the Tyne and a stake of 2001., between James Candlish, the champion of that river, and James Messenger, of Teddington, Middlesex (one of the b est men, if not the best man, upon the Thames). Candlish's defeat this season by his present opponent having been as cribed to want of condition and other causes, the present match has been ma d e to decide the question of superiority. This race is appointed for the 13th Decem ber, the day before which it has been agreed that Robert Newell, of Horsclelyasdpoewr: the ex e, , thrice a candid ate for the championship of th e Thames, shall contend against the December, a r e n n d o o w n n e t d h e H l en s r th y champion y am c p las ion e o r f the Tyne; beth, is a l so to row agains,tnen William Pocock, of La matches b e i ng thus arranged for the 12 p th, ; l3th, and 15th, in order to afford Londoners and others an op portunity of witnessing the whole without unnece ssar y expense or i nconvenience, in one visit to the north ; each race will be from the Old Mansion-house, and extending three miles and a-half, to Scottiswode-bridge. A. SINGULAR CASE BEFORE THE PARIS CIVIL TRI BUNAL,--M. Mich ew it z, e di tor of a musical newspaper in Germany, went some time ago to the Grand Opera in Paris, to hear the . Freyschutz, and he was so discontented with the manner in which it was performed that he brought an action against the management for the purpose of having it declared that the opera should be performed again by the first artistes of the theatre ; also that a lean in the theatre should he set apart for him gratuitously, and that 100 f. as damages should be paid to him for each day's delay in the roproduction of the opera. The director of the opera applied to the tribunal for an order on the plain tiff to deposit 1000 f., as security for the costs, he being a foreigner ; and he caused it to be intimated that he intended to prosecute him for presenting a defama tory and insulting request to justice. The tribunal ordered M. Michewitz to deposit the 1,000 fr., and de cided that the hearing of the erase should take place in a fortnight. MIDDLE TEUPLE, Nov. 17.—The following members of this Ron.
