Charles W. Bevan, Esq. The public is raspectibily invited to examine the principles Of at h e Deposit e Deposit System of APSUrfillee, which is based upon tables calcul by, and is under the immediate supervision of, Francis Cl. P. Nelson, Esq., the Conmßing Actuary to the CoinpanY. Comparative Tables to assure 5001 . on death, by a person aged twenty next birthday, oti the ORDINARY and on the DEPOSIT system f Assurances.

Ifun able to pay, or not desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo licy would still remain of its rum, value, 5221.25.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur ther payment beingre quired. Irhowever the party,from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but a certain bonus of 621. 20 71. lOs Od 2257. i.,221.^_57d 2371. 25. 9d. 2s. 9d. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole ofhis payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Neilson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., let. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as mach as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as le a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at premiums lases or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current p, and, instead of having any fend to fly to for aid, all his harl-earned savitvs become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles aro impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused.

In the New York Times of the 22d ult., the subjoined information is given : " We learn from a credible source that three • Portu guese captains and one Catalan merchant arrived from Cuba by the Cherokee and Black Warrior steamers, and are now in this city, making arrangements for dis- -- patching vessels to the coast of Africa, to engage in the slave trade betweeq that coast and Cuba. They have already contracted for three clippers to be built at Baltimore, and are making other preparations in this city. It is known that there are in this city several mercantile houses extensively engaged in the slave trade, and that half-a-dozen vessels have recently left this, and other American ports, for the • African coast. These vessels clear for some Cuban . port, where they never arrive ; and being provided - with false papers and sailing under the Ameri can flag, they succeed in reaching the coast, obtaining cargoes of slaves, and landing them in Cuba, with the connivance and complicity of the Spanish authorities. Our correspondence from Havannah has contained im portant statements on this subject from time to time. Our authorities would do well to exercise more than ordinary vigilance in regard to vessels clearing for Cuban ports." In the same journal of the 23d ult. we find the following letter from Matanzas, describing the - landing of a large cargo of slaves on the Cuban - coast, in open and flagrant violation of the treaties with Great Britain, and giving a frightful picture of the atrocities now committed by the Spaniards in this inhuman and revolting traffic : MATANZA Apil 2. " I have al rea d y appr i sed you of the success r of Don Antonio Capo in landing a cargo of slaves at Guazima. In my present letter I pr o p ose t o supply you with some I f the particulars of the business, and with the subse quent fate of the parties concerned in it. "After getting his human freight fairly ashore at the place I have mentioned, Capo presented himself at the entrance of the harbour of Cardenas, with the American colours at his mast-head, and signalled for a pilot. Having procured one, the vessel was directed to the lee side of the Cayo Piedra, where it was run aground and set fire to ; it was burning throughout an entire day ; and all this was done with the knowledge and consent of the authorities of Cardenas. " Some 1,100 or 1,200 negroes were run in.' The original cargo exceeded - 7;3 00. About 200 perished in - the course of the voyage, in consequence of attempts to release themselves, three several efforts having been made unsuccessfully. I need hardly tell you how strongly Cuban feeling is excited by these transactions. The sub ject was at once brought to the notice of the British Consul, who was informed with regard to the minutest particulars by means of a negress, who was one of the kidnapped, and who had been purchased by a friend ' of mine. The girl disclosed to three or four of us, in secret session, all that had transpired on the voyage ; and by dint of close inquiry we were enabled to furnish the Consul not only with notes of the information drawn from her, but with every detail regarding the names of the partners in the enterprise, the officers of the vessel, and the crew. The Consul acted with the utmost promptitude. Taking with him the Belgian and American consuls, he proceeded at once to the palace and demanded an interview with the Captain- General. He had previously armed himself with a copy of the Cronica by way of a text ; and producing it, he complained to his Excellency that that paper had in sulted him by publishing the grossest libels land false hoods respecting his conduct, and that his Excellency ought to be aware that as British consul it was his duty to be on the watch to see that the treaties of Spain with his Government were executed to the very letter. " Caned° said, in reply, that the publication had been made in a foreign country, and that, however flagrant the falsehood, he had no means of punishing it. " The Consul persisted that it was not only in foreign countries that the Spanish papers took such liberties. His Excellency had only to turn to the Diario dc la Marina to find similar slanders ; but while he (the Con sul) despised this insolent language, proper only to the corrupt and inf amous li ps that uttered it, he could not but grieve to see the slave trade flourish with unabated success, and slaves daily land on the island. It is not so, Senor Consul ; it is not so ;' answered Canedo ; 'the trade is constantly decreasing ; not so much on account of the vast expense your Government is at in sustaining fleets to repress it, for I alone am sufficient to insure that not a single negro now finds his way into Cuba.' '-' ' Then how is it,' proceeded the Consul, 'that only two days ago 1,200 negroes were landed in the Siguapa, at place called La Guazima ?' " ' It is not possible,' replied the General. "' As your Excellency doubts it,' said the Consul, beckoning to two of the negroes who waited at the foot of the stairs, ' here are two of the Africans landed among the rest.' " General Canedo affected to be overwhelmed with surprise, and said he should have to take to hanging and killing to put a stop to these outrages. The Consul in , formed him how many days the vessel had spent on the voyage ; who the owners were, their relative shares, and their residences ; the persons to whom the negroes had been sold, and where they might be found ; not omitting to mention the massacre of 200 en voyage; and they de manded that a commission should at once be named, who should make a summary inquiry, and punish the offenders with all the rigour of the law. In consequence of this interview, Brigadier Morales Ita,da was sent to this city by the Capt.-General as a com missioner to examine the case. He forthwith caused the several armadores, ' or 0 wners of the ship, to be arrested. I send you some of their names :—Dr. Aguabella Antonio Muxua, an attorney, who recently married the widow of Vega y Caceres, and so became a party i n t eres t e d ; Ara inabe, an ironfLunder ; N. Aguirre, a merchant ; Bar tolorne Caracas, an apothecary; and Don Francisco Vinageras, brother of the Alcalde, and the only Creole implicated. Each of these was interested to the extent of $12,000, and was held to bail, notwithstanding the law prohibits bail in criminal cases, to answer the charge. Don Jose Baro, another partner, succeeded in eluding the officers. The examination brought out the atrocity of the affair in the broadest light. Capo directed his course to a Portuguese (negro) colony on the coast of Caffraria, and finding they had no negroes to sell, he determined to fill his ship without being at the expense of a purchase. He therefore took every possible means to ingratiate himself with the inhabitants, and se cure their confience, awaiting an opportunity for a coup de main. When the time struck him as favourable, the whole population was bidden to a splendid feast on board ship, and plied with drugged rum until the great mass of them were completely stupified with their pota tions. Orders were then signalled to the crew to make all sail, and when the unfortunate wretches recovered their senses, they found themselves out of sight of shore, and those of their company who had been more moderate in their cups already secured in irons. Naturally enough, they attempted the first thing to release themselves, by rising on their kidnappers. But they possessed no weapons, while the crew was large, and armed at all points ; so that, notwithstanding repeated efforts to liberate themselves, they were uniformly over-mastered. These encounters were murderous. Large numbers:were thrown overboard or cut to pieces with knife and sabre, so that the loss of life during the trip was at least 200 persons. Of those who survived and whom the agents of Government have received since the landing, are 100 at this moment in our hospital undergoing surgical treatment for sabre cuts, stabs, and other wounds of greater or less severity received from the kidnapping ruf fians who captured them. Many of the negroes are Portuguese, and all of them are intelligent and above the ordinary level of native Africans. The Government inquiry, as was to be anticipated, has ended in additional fraud and corruption. Neither Capo, his brother, Dr. Giberga, who acted as surgeon of the vessel, nor any of the crew, have been arrested. The investigation was confined to the partners, some of whose names I have given you ; and, after dragging along for some time, was suddenly hushed up. The defendants agreed to compromise their crime by delivering 300 of the negroes to the Government, each culprit contri buting according to his interest in the venture. Accompanied as it was with pecuniary considerations, the bribe was irresistible. The bargain was at once closed, Pavia, Governor of Matanzas, Mar cotegui, and Morales Rada, the three commissioners, ratifying it on behalf of General Caned° ; and as the affair was completed at the Colisseum, the bar gain is called the ' Treaty of the Colisseum,' out of doors. The parties to this infamous transaction walk the streets in insolent impunity, secure from all the conse quences of their crime. And why Y To use the language of a distinguished Government official, incautiously dropped soon after the arrest, the prosecution will not be per mitted to go to any great length, because the parties incul pated were Spaniards—that is, not Creoles. And this is the result of the Consul's interference. It only made the Insular Government a larger participant in the profits of the iniquity than i f the whole thing had been permitted to go unheeded. Somefew of the negroes were released, and the rest allowed to pass into the mass of hopeless negro servitude. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

ROYAL LITERARY FUND. The 64th anniversary of this institution was yesterday celebrated by a public dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. Mr. Disraeli, M.P., took the chair ; and among the company were the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord J. Man ners, Lord Stanley, Lord A. Vane, Mr. C. Hardinge, Dr. M'llvaine (Bishop of Ohio), Chevalier d'Azeglio, Mr. Justice Haliburton (Sam Slick), the Queen's Advo cate, Professor Ay tours, Sir G. Ilea 4, Sir H. Ellis, the lion. B. King (United States), Mr. Evelyn, M.P., Mr. Mines, M.P., Mr. Jas. M'Gregor, M.P, Mr. Digby Seymour, M.P., Professor Fenton (U.S.A.), Mr. Sergt. Merewether, the Consuls-General of Belgium and of the Uruguay, Mr. Spencer, F.R.S., Dr. Daubeny (of Ox ford), Mr. H. T. Hope, Mr. P. Salomons, the Rev. Dr. Vaughan (Harrow), Mr. C. Croker, Dr. R. G. Latham, Professor Cressy, Dr. Darling, Mr. G. Peabody, Mr. T. Martin, the Rev. H. Alford, the Hon. S. Annesley, Mr. J. R. Kenyon, and Mr. Douglas Jerrold. At the conclusion of the dinner, Mr. DISRAELI, who was exceedingly well received on rising, proposed the first toast, "The Queen, the Patroness of the Institution." He said he was aware that that was a toast whi c h in every assembly of Englishmen was received with affectionate enthusiasm, but those now assembled must hail that toast with something beyond the devoted loyalty which it was the privilege of every one of her Majesty's subjects to feel, for they would recollect that that institution was one over which her Majesty, from the period of her happy accession, had watched with the greatest interest. (Ap plause.) He had to announce that her Majesty con tinued that liberal benefaction which for se many years had enabled them to accomplish those results which had entitled their exertions to public sympathy and respect. He might mention, though perhaps it was comparatively speaking, a slight tasit, yet it was indicative of the personal interilat which her Ma jesty and her Royal Consort stook in the fortunes of that institution, that it was only, he believed, within these few days that her Majesty had been graciously pleased to command that the portraits of herself and his Royal Highness should be sent to the principal apart ment in which the business of that institution was tran sacted. (Cheers.) Her Majesty had on all occasions shown the utmost sympathy with all those institutions in which the interests of science, art, and liter a t ur e were concerned, but it was their proud privilege to remember that from the first she had favoured that institution with peculiar consideration. (Cheers.) The toast was drunk with every demonstration of en thusiasm. Mr. DISRAELI next proposed "The health of Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal family." He said that he did not know that the influence of individual character could be more hap pily or significantly proved than by the progress of art, science, and literature since the period when Prince Albert adopted England as his own country. (Cheers.) There were many gentlemen in that room, he doubted not, who had been placed in personal communication with his Royal Highness on subjects connected with art, science, and literature ; and he was sure that they would all at once acknowledge that in his Royal Highness they found no mechanical Maecenas, but a man who was complete master of all the subjects which engaged their attention. (Applause.) Those who were placed in communication with him knew well that this was not the language of adulation, but of severe truth. He trusted that his Royal Highness might succeed in the efforts he was constantly making to advance the civilisation of this country, to heighten the standard of education, and to refine and elevate the taste of this land, with which he was so intimately connected. (Hear, hear.) But it was not merely on account of those claims to their respect and admiration that he now proposed the health of his Royal Highness ; but they (the members of the Literary Fund) would recollect the time when his Royal Highness condescended even to fill that chair which he (Mr. Disraeli) now had the honour to occupy, and that, he believed, was the only public festival over which his Royal Highness bad presided. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness had, moreover, on every occasion, testified the sympathy he felt with the efforts of that institution, and he trusted his Royal Highness would leave behind him a long line of princes who would not disgrace their illustrious sire. (Applause.) Tho toast was drunk with the usual honours, Mr. DISRAELI next proposed the toast of "The Church," connecting with it the name of the " Bishop of Ohio," observing that no one could cast his eyes over the catalogue of illustrious English authors without perceiv ing how much the country was indebted to the bench of prelates for some of the best writings in the language. In the present time they could beast that one of the most eminent of their literary characters, the Archbishop of Dublin, was the constant friend of that institution— (applause) ;—and they would remember also that the Bishop of London, an eminent author, an unrivalled scholar, had filled the chair which he now occupied. Though those two good friends. of the institution were prevented from attending on that evening, yet he was happy and proud to say that there was among them a bishop of the Church of England. (Applause.) The rev. prelate came, indeed, from a distant land that did not own the sway of the Queen of England, but he bore a heart faithful to her church, and he brought with him feelings which completely reciprocated all they could offer to him. (Cheers.) The Bishop of OHIO, in responding to the toast, stated that it was the honourand happiness of the church in America to derive its origin from the church in this land. Their articles of faith were the same, and it would be the constant endeavour of the members of the church in America to preserve that faith, and the expressions of that faith which they had derived from the Church of England, uncorrupted. The right rev, prelate con cluded by referring to the Protestant missionaries, and characterised them as a body of men who during the last 50 years were engaged in the work of contributing greatly to the literature of the world, by making known various languages which otherwise would have remained unknown, and by translating the Scriptures for a mul titude of populations, Mr. Disiiam said, it was now his gratifying duty to propose that they should express their cordial feelings towards that institution, sympathy for whose purposes and whose fortunes had assembled them under that roof. He thought it must be nearly three-quarters of a century since the founder of this institution (not himself an author, but a man of letter-press) expressed to a per sonage no less important than Dr. Franklin his idea of the importance of instituting a fund which should not pretend indeed, to offer equivalents to men of genius and learning for the benefits which they had contributed to society, but which would at least prevent such persons from suffering intolerable misery, and would no longer permit those catastrophes to occur which were a flagrant outrage on the literary honour of any civilised commu nity. (Cheers.) Dr. Franklin was certainly not de ficient in knowledge of human nature. This must be said of that great man,----that he was not wanting in the noblest sympathies of humanity ; yet, when the establish ment of the literary fund was proposed, even Dr. Franklin, with his consummate knowledge of human nature, and his fine sympathy with humanity, looked upon the idea of a fund raised for such a purpose as a speculation too refined for any practical application. Common charities, Dr. Franklin said, sprung from common feelings, but that it was vain, though beautiful, to suppose that there ever could be, to accomplish such an end, sufficient sympathy between the mass, of man kind and that peculiar class of beings who were called authors. Well, it was the fortune of the founder of this institution a fortune which would, perhaps, be re membered in the literary history of this great country —to submit his views and feelings on the subject to three of the most eminent public c har to ac co ters mm w un h i o . adorned the end of the 18th cen t ur y. It was the fortune of the founder of thi s i ns tit u tion cate his views to Mr. Pitt, to the illustrious rival of Mr. Pitt, and finally to Mr. Burke. It was singular "that three individuals, who resembled each other in nothing except in the identity of their fame—it was re markable that these three individuals a greed alike in their opinions that the plan of the founder of this society was i o e r s n t l c y o could contributeb e T o nhley austere beautiful ster e and absorbed speculation t Minister,ha that could th the never i able oratorreali realised. d o f .

A con siderable period of time had revolved since that epoch. between authors and the public. The idea that A great change had occurred in the relations . which sub sistedwas first broached in an obscure tavern club had been realised in the Royal Corporation of the Literary Fund. Sovereigns were its patrons, and presided over its festivals.

Iproduce a great 1 It was possible to suppose—because they had too many proofs satisfied the public taste might advance again with all those alluring qualities which had fascinated the public mind, and yet on the second occasion might appeal to a distasteful or insensible public. It was not impossible to suppose—because sad experience furnished them with too many instances—that when the charmed public was again to receive a repetition of the spell which had fits ciliated its feeling, 'nature might whisper to the author that the brain, which was overworked, should lie fallow, and that the frame, which was trembling with agitation, required for its restoration quiet and repose. (Hear, hear.) These were occasions when it was delightful to believe that that society had been the agent, as it were, that soothed the disappointed author and sustained the exhausted mind of genius. It was something that the society should have achieved this, and that in these circumstances which he had described some power should exercise its influence to offer solace and re pose. He had been now referring to those whose literary career had at one time been attended with brilliant success, and had resembled the passage of a dazzling meteor, but the history and faith of literary men generally were different. What was an author ! He might ask those who were members of the Corporation of the Literary Fund—a corporation which, for 64 years, had watched the idiosyncracy of that pecu liar being—what in general was an author ! He was a man who obeyed the irrestible impulse of organic laws, devoted himself to the extension of the domain of know ledge and the cultivation of the human mind. To do this, such a man gave himself up to the study of some special, probably some abstruse subject—to a subject that demanded infinite research, continuous labour, in tense thought—the dedication of an existence. It was possible that the life of such a man was the life in gene ral of scholars. It was possible he might love that fru gality of habits which was not difficult to be practised by those whose greatest pleasure arose from intellectual excitement ; but let it be remembered that a single one of those commonplace casualties which were the inevit able accident of the life of man under ordinary circum stances was to such a being an overwhelming and crush ing incident. (Hear, hear.) 111-health, unexpected needs and requirements, domestic sorrow—and such a being was utterly overwhelmed. (Hear, hear.) Well, then, it was under these circumstances that an institution established on the principle on which the Royal Literary Fund was established stepped in, and said that men of this class and character, who were the ministers of civi lisation, should not be the victims of exigencies. It was under these circumstances that a society like the present proclaimed that the time had gone by when scholars should walk the streets of London without finding a roof under which they could rest their heads, and when the books of authors—the implements and tools of their craft—could be taken from their grasp for the liquidation of some small debt. The time was gone by when it was necessary for authors to sacrifice the labours they had accomplished for a small return in order to satisfy the requirements of the hour, and, above all, when, for the exigencies of the moment, they were required to mortgage the future es says of their genius. (Cheers.) Well, the principle of the institution must be sound and true, which announced that the author should not be the victim of exigencies, but should be soothed and supported in those calamities which no human prudence could forsee or prevent, and, being so supported, an author might pursue that career of usefulness which the casualties to which he (Mr. Dis raeli) had referred would have interrupted. The prin ciple on which this institution was based was, then, a sound a true principle—it was founded on the best feel ings of mankind, sanctified in the past, and consecrated by the future. (Cheers.) He entered into this discus sion because it was their fate to live in an age of criti cism and cavil. (Hear.) His counsel to his friends was alway this —never to avoid criticism, though they might think it erroneous, and never to disregard cavil, though they might think it contemptible. (Cheers.) He said this, because they liv e d i n an age of discussion ; and from discussion they should never shrink, for it was the test of truth. (Applause.) Although he might be ad , dressing those who did not require it to be proved that Hercules was strong, still, upon this anniversary festi val of their institution, he did not wish to shrink from this great test of its excellence, namely, the remembrance of what it had accomplished. If they agreed with him that the principle on which this institution was esta blished was sound, and true, and sacred, he would ask them to ascertain whether the application of that principle by this society had been efficient and satisfactory. Here, no doubt, he encountered a difficulty which no one ex perienced who had to address a popular assembly on sub jects, if not similar, yet of an analogous nature. He said., if not similar, because he believed that there was no in stitution in the world like that whose fortunes he was that day called on to advocate. But in institutions of an analogous character one could appeal to the living evidences of the effects of the institutions which people were invited to support. One might appeal to those who had been saved from sickness, from sorrow, from calamity from disaster, and from death. (Hear.) He had no witnesses to bring before them to prove the excellence of their institution, whose highest merit and noblest claim to regard was, that its deeds were secret. (Cheers.) It was only those to whom was intrusted the fulfilment of the duty of administering their funds—it was only those who enjoyed the great honour of periodically fill ing that chair he now occupied— who could appreciate the nature of their benificent services, and wb_o could comprehend to what extent, and over what period of time, that institution had exercised the highest duties and fulfilled some of the greatest claim. of humanity. (Applause.) This great metropolis, famous for many things was famous amo ng o th ers f or i ts collection of manuscript treasures. He was now speaking in the neighbourhood of the great repository of our treasured literature over which his hon. friend opposite (Sir Henry Ellis) so efficiently presided. They might go to the British Museum, to the office of State Papers—they might search all the manuscript treasures which the uni versities were proud to possess, yet he told them they would find no mass of records equal in interest or importance to the archives of the Royal Literary Fund. (Cries of " Hear.") He knew well what was the popular opinion of those records. They passed over a long period of time, and it was supposed that they were records of ill-calculating and dissolute individuals—of morbid vanity and ill-regulated sus ceptibility, and it was supposed that the feel ings of men had been engaged to contribute to the aid and assistance of those who were, at the very best, beautiful but eccentric examples of humanity. But no, mistake was greater than that. (Hear.) The condi tions on which their aid and assistance were distributed were severe but admirabl e . (Applause.) They were not conditions that depended on social opinion, or reli gious creed, or country, or on clime. (Cheers.) On the contrary, the poet of Iceland and the grammarian of Arabia, both scholars, had been relieved from the Lite rary Fund, and they all knew, he lxilieved, that the most distinguished author of the 19th century, after wards, the Minister of one of the greatest Powers that ra not nt only y received pp r appreciated, a fr t o o from existed—the Minister of regal France—boasted in his pcl h t e h ol i a g ar e sudittasp,e made funds.lace tthhaet assistancea s a n w obscure hi o e h m h i e g but honoured. (Loud cheers.) Their society in its and more ff) t hT h t et h hte e siy y mhe h a s d o character was cosmopolitan, still it had condition for its bestowal . of relief. These conditions were that the per sons relieved should be meritorious, and for 64 years t s should be 'o might g d h a e t use that phrase, to the whole world, but they had t hey l served. (Applause.) Let them look over their re examine them, and there they would find no name un worthy, many distinguished, and some illustrious. (Cheers.) The fact that year after year the power of this institution had increased, while its claims had pro portionably enlarged, was alone an unmistakeable and unanwerable testimony that not only the principle of the society was a sound and true principle, but that the manner in which it had been carried into operation was wise, sound, discreet, and satisfactory. What had extended ever condition — that their em treh charity, observedw, when that dn plause.) happened during the last 64 years ! They were the most important that had occurred in the history of human nature. What had not changed during that time ? The highest had disappeared ; convulsions and revolutions had occurred ; the principles of human cor e . duct—so far, at least, as political conduct was concerned had been altogether reversed. Even the habit; and manners of nations were changed ; but the heart of man was not changed. The effusions of that lariart were embodied in the operations and career of the Royal Literary Fund. During that agitated tinra the rill, as it were, only springing from the rock had gradually be come not merely a continuous, but an. enlarged and wide-spread stream of bounty and benevolence. All things had suffered change, but the feelings that first prompted the formation of this institution, the genius which originated it, and the sentiments which afterwards induced contributions to its funds. Then, after this fund had been established for 64 years, he wished to ask whether they had any want of faith in the principle which founded the institution, or in the manner in which its resources had been dispensed ? He thought he might look to that well-filled hall as a satisfactory response to his appeal. (Applause.) He saw around him those who by their presence were determined to show that they were resolved to rally round a great principle—the great principle which founded this society, and to sup port its wise and generous administration. He begged them to believe that it was impossible to form any idea of what were the functions of the literary fund, evel, from the able documents which were placed in their hands. It was not from those printed reports that they could form even the faintest conception of what were the duties and offices of the institution. He knew well - the amount of contributions might be stated,. and the mode in which those contributions were distnbut, d d ; but the duties of that institution were not to performed by the collector or the clerk. (Hear ) bear.) Those .. who were entrusted by their confidence, with the . distri bution of this fund had something elf.e to do besides re ceiving subscriptions • and drawing cl - Jecks. (Hear, hear.) The claims on their fund must br, investigated with the utmost delicacy, and the resources they might place at the disposal of those to whor l they confided them must be administered with a tendrxness which only gentlemen —and gentlemen, too, of rrfined taste and habits—could exercise towards recipien' ai of peculiar sensibility. They had not to deal out alyss. (Applause.) They had to offer tribute, and an impr.srfeet tribute, to the suffering from society which the sufferers had endeavoured to improve. They must visit the suffering author in his abode ; they must do more taw, assist him in his pressing need—they 4 uld ri gidl y [PRICE SD. must endeavour that his future should be cared for, and that he should be restored to that career of usefulness which had been arrested. (Applause.) They bad still other duties to perform, Ifor sometimes they must inter fere to smooth the pillow of departing genius, and then it was that they might tell the man who had devoted his life to enlighten his fellow -creatures that sympathy would still linger over his tomb. Then they might tell the expiring author that his genius would remain behind, and excite the sympathies and affections of the commu nity which he had benefitted, and that those whom he had loved, even when in life, would feel th e e ff ec t s of their re co ll ec ti on, and the gratitude of society. These were the records of the institution, and he had been struck with the vast amount of good which during the last 64 years had been afforded to the widow and the orphan. If they looked back to the last 14 years of their career, they would perceive how their resources had been constantly expanding, and the justifiable claims on their resources proportionably increasing. Let them remember that that institution was peculiar, that there was nothing like it elsewhere in this country, and that its object was as peculiar as the class of beings whom it attempted to support. Recollecting these things, let them also bear in mind that the wisest sages , and the deepest statesmen, and men of the world of th e grea t est authority, all agreed that nothing, was more vain than the speculation to establish such a fund as the one he now alluded to. When they recollected the immense amount of good which the institution had effected, when they remembered that the grain of mustard had increased into a goodly tree, then they would feel how much more certain were the principles of human nature and the de crees of Providence than the prescience of statesmen, sages, and orators. (Cheers.) He trusted, therefore, when he proposed the toast of " Prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund and the health of its President, the Mar quis of Lansdowne," that they would receive it with more than an ordlniff ebullition of feeling, and that they would that evening fervently express thir opinion that that institution was founded on a sound and true principle, and that that principle had been carried into effect efficiently—that the manner in which the principle had been carried into effect had done honour to the country and to human nature. He trusted that they would all pledge themselves that night to support the institution by giving their enthusiastic adhesion to the principle on which it was founded. (Cheers.) The toast was then drunk with great applause. The Rev. Dr. RUSSELL then read an account of the receipts and expenditure, from which it appeared that the expenditure during the past year had been 1,340/. The number of families which had been relieved was 49. They had been attacked for their expenditure upon rooms, but they possessed an estate of 1971., which had been bequeathed expressly to provide chambers for them. The cost of the entertainment of last year, above the amount which had been received at the dinner, was only 341. The rev, gentleman then proceeded to read a list of subscriptions to the society, commencing with the annual donation of 105/. from her Majesty. It was subsequently stated that about 1,000/. had been subscribed during the evening, including 311. from the chairman. Mr. M. MILNES proposed "The Health of the Chair man " in an eloquent address, which was frequently applauded. - Mr. Drsa,txm, in returning thanks, said—l am deeply sensible of the honour you have done me, by the man. ner you have received this toast, which has been so kindly proposed to you by my hon. friend Mr. Monckton Milnes. The hon. gentleman has alluded to the fact that we sit on opposite benches in the senate of our country. I confess that thought did not cross my mind, but I only know that wherever he sits I shall always admire the social virtues and genial character which en dear him to the affections, and command the approba bation of all who know him. (Cheers.) The hon. gen tleman has favoured us with a very interesting lecture on the relative merits of literature and politics, and when I listened to him I thought of the choice of Achilles. Literature and politics are like night and morning : each has its alluring charms and its dazzling attri• butes. Perhaps I may be excused if at the present moment I decline to give my decision in favour of either. (Great cheering and laughter.) My hon. friend may rest assured that if I ever enter the literary ranks again I will endeavour to preserve any reputation I may have gained ; and if I ever write myself a man of letters, it is because lam proud of the title. (Cheers.) I can not forget that sixty years ago my father was present at one of the first meetings of the Literary Fund, and that he gave it his encouragement and support—that he watched with sympathetic guardianship over the cradle of its infant fortunes. (Great applause.) I cannot for get him, and the legacy he has left me ; and should I be again a Minister of State I shall always be proud to fill this chtar. (Loud cheers.) Lord STANLEY then rose to propose " The Health of Profesor Creasy and the Historians of England." His . lordship pointed out with much force and beauty of ex pression, the important 'relation between the actors and narrators of the deeds of this world. He regretted the absence of one of the most distin guished of living historians —Sir Archibald Alison a man who had devoted over twenty years of his life —a large space in the career of a man—to the better illustration of historical truth. (Hear, hear.) But in his absence he could turn to Professor Creasy, who had proved by his writings that those who fought battles and those who recounted the deeds of war occupied a scarcely less prominent position than those whose great actions they served to record. Professor CREASY responded to the toast in most ap propriate terms. The following toasts were then proposed :—" Professor Aytoun and the Poets," by Mr. Digby Seymour, M.P. ; " Mr. Justice Haliburton and the Essayists," by Lord John Manners ; " Dr. Daubeny and the Writers on Science," by Dr. R. G. Latham ; "The Literature and Science of other Counties, in connection with the name of Professor Felton," by John Robert Kenyon, D.C.L. ; "The Marquis of Salisbury and the Stewards ;" and " The Ladies," by the chairman. The proceedings then terminated. It only remains for us to add that the proceedings throughout were graced by the presence of a numerous body of ladies, both in the gallery and in the body of the hall ; and that the subscriptions received in the course of the evening amounted to nearly 1,0001. The cuisine was such as to reflect the greatest credit on the establishment. The musical arrangements were most efficient ; and Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster with his usual ability. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MIT 11. The Duke of Taranceau, son of the Queen-Mother of Spain, and Admiral T. M.

There was only one man on watch on deck, who was seized and gagged to prevent his giving the alai in. The captain, who was asleep in his cabin, with the captain of another vessel, who had come on board to see hint, were attacked and desperately wounded. Everything in the cabin was pillaged.

MosEs and Sox for Whitsuntide. Specification of the principal fea tures of their Spring and Summer Clothing is impossible. Inspection will convey an impression of the novelty, elegance, and cheapness of the Goods, and experience will prove the superior quality of the ma terials and workmanship. The unparalleled position E. Moan and Sox have maintained for many years renders assertions unnecessary, and it is only requisite to observe, that for Whitsuntide they are magnificently prepared with the cheapest and the best Clothing of every fashionable description. Juvenile Attire offered by E. MosEs and Sox Is more distinguished for elegance, style, fashion, ease, novelty, and cheapness, than any which others can present; it manifests the perfection of their skill in the selection of materials, and the triumphs of talent in the Cut and Make of every Garment.
