It is to be called " the Boys' Refuge," and is intended for numerous homeless, idle wan derers from 7 to 15 years of age, who have scarcely a resource but vice and crime. It is to be a residence and industrial school for 30 boys at present, with considerable capability for enlargement. We do not know the powers of the Woods and Forests, but we think that, instead of charging one thousand guineas for land for such a purpose, they might gladly have given it for such a truly national object, holding, of course, a reversionary daimon it, should it cease to be used as the " Boys' Refuge." With the ragged schools already in existence, and work ing in places so satisfactorily, there are now, there fore, two voluntary institutions in action, and two more likely soon to be placed on a legal footing, all directed to the supremely important object of education, and industriously training the danger ous class of children. This is assuredly the grand educational desideratum. The other classes are sure now to educate themselves ; they need but one stimulus ; and it is to be hoped that Mr. GLADSTONE and Lord JoHN RUSSELL will give up their aversion to the people's acquisition of politi cal knowledge—that they will no longer place the artisan of England at a disadvantage with the mechanic and labourer of New York, but will soon permit every Englishman, in the bosom of his family, and far from the fatal ale-house, to read, at his leisure, his Untaxed Daily Paper. Few, indeed, in that case, will be found unable to read. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, JULY 19. The Queen and Prince and the Prince of Wales walked and drove in the grounds at Osborne yesterday.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE. , The marriage of the Lady Augusta Hare, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess Listowel, with Cap tain Granville Leveson Proby, second son of Admiral the Hon. Granville Leveson Proby, and nephew of the Earl of Carysfort, took place yesterday at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, in the presence of a distin guished circle of the friends of both noble families. The bride arrived, with her noble mother, at a quarter to 12 o'clock. Her ladyship wore a handsome white lace dress, with a veil of the same materiel, and looked exceedingly beautiful. She was attended to the altar by a train of nine bridesmaids, all similarly attired. These young ladies . were—the Ladies Emily, Sophia, Adela, and Eleanor Hare, sisters of the bride ; Miss Howard, Miss Baring, Miss Hamilton, and the Misses Proby (2), sisters of the bridegroom. The religious rite was impressively performed by the Hon. and Rev. Douglas Gordon. The bride was given away by her noble father. Our remarks on the excellent Juvenile Meng. cancy Bill of the Eail of SHAFTESBURY have brought under our notice a case of the applica tion, substantially, of its leading principle, which we commend to the notice of the Poor Law Com missioners, who furnished the Lord Chancellor with objections, and also to the imitation of all boards of guardians throughout the country. The guardians of the Tunstead and Happing Union, West Norfolk, principally owing to the persever ing exertions of their very intelligent chairman, JOHN POSTLE, Esq., have long acted on the plan of using application for parish relief as a means, when possible, of placing children likely to be morally ruined by home training, in the union school, and under the care of the matron, at their workhouse at Smallburgh. When the able-bodied parents applied for relief, they offered to take the children in danger into the establishment, declin ing out-door allowance. Under the present law, widows left with families were, of course, the chief applicants for out-door relief, and girls, the class least able to support themselves by work in agri cultural districts. In repeated instances, the mo thers were seen to be taking a course which could scarcely fail to destroy all sense of virtue in their daughters, and to render them useless mem bers of society. These girls, placed in the school, and instructed by the matron in household work, have gone forth to the best situations, where they A very general feeling prevails in France, as have frequently obtained the good-conduct prizes well as in England, that the Eastern question will offered to servants by a local society. Indeed, be arranged without a direct appeal to arms— the system with all the children they could lay that the intervention of the Great Powers will be hold of, to rescue in this way from parental accepted by the CZAR, and peace restored on the neglect, and to convert from becoming the pests terms proposed.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS. Yesterday a Court was held, Deputy Peacock in the chair. Several applications were made of a personal cha. meter, with reference to which order were made. The reports of the several inspectors were read and agreed to. - An application made by the labourers in the City Stone•yard for an advance of wages of 6d. per day, in addition to the 15s. per week now received by them, was, after some discussion, rejected. The principal Clerk stated to the commissioners that he had recei;ed an official communication, to the effect that in the course of a few days all interments in the churchyard of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, would be, by authority, discontinued. With - reference to an alleged nuisance, caused by cer tain refuse deposited from time to time in a dung pit be longing to Mr. Sherman, of the Bull and Mouth, in Oxford Arms-passage, Newgate-market, it was ordered that the same should be cleansed at least twice' a week, or discontinued altogether in the event of any neglect on the part of the proprietor. The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the Court to the conduct of the Chartered Gas Company, who, it appeared, had, in defiance of the surveyor's notice, taken up (for the purpose of inspecting certain joints be longing to their mains in Bishopsgate-street) a consider able portion of the pavement newly laid at great cost by the commissioners throughout the whole of that impor tant thoroughfare. Ordered, on the motion of Deputy HoLT, that the parties be summoned to show cause why they had not conformed to the terms of the surveyor's notice. The medical officer's report and some other trivial matters having been disposed of, the Court adjourned. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 12,000 bales, of which 1,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham, and 1,000 Surat were taken for export, and 1,500 American on speculation. The market was very animated, and compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were extensive. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maranham at 6ad to Bd., 400 Bahia at 6d. to 6td., 100 Egyptian 7d. to Is. id., and 2000 Surat at 34d. to 5d.. per lb. In the .Railway Share Market there was a considerable rise. The Indigo auctions are progressing with more animation, and the wool sales yesterday evening went briskly. From the Continent the news is generally of a better complexion this morning. In nearly every instance the writers of private letters state that they have been holding off from dealing with the desire of awaiting a solution of the Eastern question, while others add th e wea th er as having a deterring influence. It is but reason able to conclude, therefore, that if both these causes happily cease, a very marked improvement would occur in the principal branches of industry. One department of trade has never flagged throughout the uncertainty felt, viz., that of Australia. It is scarcely possible to execute sufficiently fast the orders given out, and we apprehend that the st a t ements to w hi c h many journals are giving such prominency, about high prices, will lead to an excess of shipments. It is known that the number of v esse l s w hi c h h ave l e ft market isvery il large,to and that th e b areness of the Sydney the middle of April was temporary. At the meeting of the Australian Agricultural C om p an y, now in progr ess , th e Ch a i rman h as stated, in allusion to the Peel River Company, that, t a king the shares at their par value, they had never been lower than the price at which the shareholders had them. A fact, almost unprecedented, was, that not one of the shareholders in the old company had refused the Peel River shares. The coal mine accounts were very satisfactory. The sales of coal during January and February, which are summer months in the colony, were double those of the corresponding period of last year, and the export demand was good. Notwithstanding the scarcity of labour, their wool clip, 650 bales, was very slightly below the average. The price of coal was 13s. 6d. per ton at the pit's mouth. To set the mind of the shareholders and public at rest as to what are the mineral resources of their property, the directors had obtained the services, for three years, of a celebrated German geologist, who had taken his passage in the Vimeira, and whose inves tigations and reports would doubtless give satisfac tion. The half-yearly meeting of the London and Westminster Bank Proprietors has been held this morning, and proved highly favourable. The fol lowing report was adopted : " The directors have the pleasure to report that the net profits of the last half-year, after making provision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart 2,0001. towards the new buildings in Lothbury and Bl ooms b ur y, a moun t t o 54,5251 .

ESCAPE OF FIVE CONVICT LUNATICS AT SALISBURY. On Saturday night five convict lunatics effected their escape from the asylum of Dr. Finch, at Fisherton, near Salisbury. It appears that shortly after one of the keepers had retired to rest he was seized by five of the patients, some of whom held him by the throat, whilst the others knelt upon him, completely overpowering him and placing him in bodily fear. After making him secure, and preventing his access to the pull of the alarm bell, iey went out of the ward and effected their escape, having first obtained possession of the necessary keys, some of which they placed in the outside of the locks belonging to the doors leading into the wards occupied by the other keepers, thus preventing the possibility of their being opened from the inside. Two of them have since been apprehended. ' TRINITY HOUSE CanurriEs.--A Parliamentary docu ment on this subject, which has just been published, contains a representation addressed by the Corporation of the Trinity House to her Majesty in Council with reference to the proposal of the Government to pre vent the application of light and other dues to cha ritable purposes. The master, wardens, ass i s t an ts, and elder brethren stat e th a t th e corporat i on o f th e Trinity House is a guild, first established by royal charter in the reign of Henry VIII., recognised.by a charter of Charles 11., and now regulated by a charter of confir mation of James 11. ; that there are good reasons for believing that the corporation was first established for charitable purposes, and that, in fact, the surplus re sources of the corporation have from very early times been in part devoted to the support of old and disabled seamen, and grants have been from time to time made to it upon express charitable trusts. Under these circumstances the remonstrants submit that the light-houses and light dues belong to them for the purposes of the corporation, and are in the strictest sense their property for those purposes, and that the proposal of her Majesty's Go vernment for giving the whole of this property to the shipowners without any charge beyond the expense of : maintaining the lights, is neither expedient as a mat ter of policy nor just as regards the recipients of the charity of the corporation, of whom an average number 4 1 of 648 are annually admitted on the pension list, .; while there are as many as 6 ,000 petitions at p resent unprovided for. The above representation having been 2 referred by her Majesty in Council to the Board of 2 Trade for their opinion, their lordships observe, in their li report, that they do not question the validity of the 21 royal charters referred to , in the rep resentat i on, nor the .5! lawfulness, according to 'the terms o f t h e c h arters, of g applying the surplus revenues arisi ng f rom t h e light i dues to charitable purposes, but th ey ca ll i n question 2( the policy of continuing a state o f th e l aw wh i ch; i n order to provide a fund for eleemosynary purposes, 1( sanctions the imposition of a heavier burden of taxation 2( on merchant shipping than would otherwise be woes- 1( sary. • 2( SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

We cannot forget that the religious zeal and fanaticism of these men are fully equal to that of the most ultramontane Muscovite, and that when their passions have been inflamed to the utmost by something very like the proclamation of a holy war, they should not enter into any very wise calculations of chances as to the ultimate result, or remain contented in a state of inglorious quies cence. That a war party should arise amongst them is more than probable ; and it is impossible to predict to what length such a party may be disposed to go, or what may be the conse quences of their proceedings—whether attempts against the throne or the person of the SULTAN, or the official situations of his advisers, or, under the most favourable circumstances, that such a feeling of disappointment might be engendered, that the myth of the Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf would be illustrated on a gigantic scale, and the Turkish flock eventually fall a victim to the Muscovite wolf, when the services of their guar dians and protectors could no longer be obtained, on account of their apprehensions being lulled to rest by repeated false alarms. We need scarcely allude to the effects of con tinued doubt and indecision on the Western Powers. It is sufficient to point to the state of the Share Markets to see the effects of the panic there, to refer to our merchants for the commer cial paralysis, of which so many well-founded complaints have been put forward, All classes are suffering from the unjustifiable conduct of the CZAR, and the uncertainty that must prevail so long as the scales for peace or war are suspended in the hands of an individual intoxicated by the possession of absolute power, and whose interests are promoted while every other person's are mate rially damaged by the present state of affairs. Yes ; the CZAR is the only gainer by procras tination. His troops are quartered on the enemy —are living on the resources of the Danubian Principalities. It is true that the proclamation of Prince GORTSCHAKOFF, as well as the circular of Count NESSELRODE, promise eventual pay ment, according to a stipulated scale. But that settlement will not be made until all negotiations have been concluded, and the question of peace or war ultimately decided. If actual hostilities should take place, what will be the chances of payment ? and when, if ever, will it be made ? But if there should be a peaceful solution of the difficulty, is it at least probable that Russian dip lomacy may insure some equivalent for the ex penses of the campaign ? Meantime the prices of every description of Russian produce will be materially enhanced in consequence of the exist ing doubts as to when the stocks can be renewed in the hands of the merchants, and the prospects of limited supplies for some time to come. We have not here alluded to the advantages that would be gained by the CZAR in postponing hostilities until the navigation of the Baltic would be shut up, and all manoeuvring in the Black Sea rendered difficult, if not impossible. In a word, lie has everything to gain from procrastination, while all other parties in the transaction must be serious sufferers. We have surely urged. suffi cient reasons to press for a speedy solution of the problem, to urge our diplomatists to activity, and induce them to think that whatever is to be done should be done quickly.

POPULATION OF FRANKFORT. -- 7ACCOrding to a census taken in December last, the state of Frankfort contains 73,150 inhabitants, of whom 62,511 are in the city, and 10,639 in the country. In the above number are in cluded 829 suldiers of tie contingent. The federal gar rison not included in the above amounts to 4,821 men, so that the total number of the inhabitants is 77,971. In 1849 the inhabitants of the city numbered 58,426, and of the country 10,038, so that the population has in creased 3,814 in three years. The federal garrison com prises 1,717 Austrians, 1,713 Prussians, and 1,391 Bavarians. There are now in Germany eight sovereign States each of which has a population inferior to that of Frankfort, and before the territorial modifications of Anhalt and Hohenzollern there were twelve.

Baker, coroner, held an inquest at the Ship Tavern, Catherine-street, St. George's-in-the-East, yesterday afternoon, respecting the death of Ann Briffett, aged 23 years, lately residing at No. 3, Upper Chapman-street, Commercial-road, who destroyed herself under the fol lowing shocking circumstances :—The deceased was a single woman, and was much attached to a young man, who had recently discarded her for another female, which gave her great offence, and for several weeks her friend had observed her sitting for hours in a desponding mood, as if she was disturbed in her mind. On Tuesday, the 12th inst., the deceased was seized with violent pains in her stomach, and when her room was searched a bottle con taining oil of vitriol was found. She was questioned, and acknowledged that she had drank a portion of the liquid, which she had purchased at the shop of Mr. Warne:-, the oilman, of No. 1, Cannon-street-road. A surgeon was sent for, when antidotes were administered, but the deceased gradually sunk, and died on Saturday. Mr. Gatliff, surgeon, said the deceased died from the effects of oil of vitriol, which was a deadly poison. Witness questioned her as to the reason of her taking the liquid, when she told him that some person had been speaking disrespectfully of her, and she resolved upon destroying herself. The Coroner having remarked on the painful nature of the case, the jury returned a ver. diet of if Temporary Insanity." :0111S lea i 14i 66 68 68 70 1i —2Ap 1 x n - •- 40-41ad,xn. • • • 2 17 - 18 18i 18 49 x d & bon 46i x all 793 i f SO 37 6I 8 7 7i x noir ad, a n BUSiIIeES this day. 6918 22! 31 72 3} 301 135 k 109 89 i a I 77i i I 105 4 5 1159 8 I i 9 8f 4271iiii a 20 72A 1 21 69 70 591 604 60 20i 1 1131 14 115 k 1031 21 3 104- 1501 x d 324 scl 3 2i 8 11eb.
