Unless a kind of panic feeling is engendered, there can be no doubt that the demand will relax, because business suf fers, and being so much contracted will require a proportionably smaller amount of capital. In Mincing-lane, sales can scarcely be effected, even at most reduced quotations ; and in the textile manufacturing districts the same languor prevails. If trade is thus repressed, the inquiry for discount accommodation is likely to experience some dimi nution. About 15,0001. in bar gold was taken out of the Bank yesterday for remittance to the Continent ; and in addition 35,000 sovereigns were despatched for Lisbon. Owing to the continued importation of silver from France and Belgium, it is fared that the advance of the rate of discount to 9 per cent. will not stop the withdrawals from the Bank which are required for the payment of these sup plies. During the early part of the day there was con siderable buoyancy in the Market for Public Securities. An idea seems to have seized some of the speculators that the worst has almost been at tained, and that the rate of 9 per cent. cannot be of long duration, and thus they are buying largely for the next account. This stimulated an advance of per cent., and the market has closed with a steady appearance. Consols for money and the 10th instant have been dealt in at 88 88/ and for December account they were 891. #. The New Threes are 87i 88 ; the Reduced, 88/ ; and Exchequer Bills 255. to 18s. discount. Bank Stock was 211. In the Foreign Market also there is increased " firmness, and about the usual amount of business - bas been transacted. Turkish 6 per Cents. have II been 87 to 874, and they closed at 87k I. The 4 per Cents. are 961. Sardinian are 89 ; Mexican, 181 ; and Grenada New Active, 174.

An inquest will be held upo n the body. PROHIBITION OF THE SUNDAY SERVICES AT EXETER HALL.—Our readers are aware that the occasional set.- ; vices . at Exeter-ball were to have been resumed on Sunday evening, but last night a notice was issued by Mr. Wilbraham Taylor, the secretary to the oommittee for the promotion o f th ese s e rvices, signed by the Earl of Shaftesbury, stating that a peremptory order had been issued by the Rev. E. G. Edouart, the rector of the parish, pr o hibiti ng the i r resumpt i on , an d that., in co nee quence, the service announced to take place to-morrow would not be held. The committee further intimate 1: hat they w ill not allow the matter to rest; but will take immediate steps to have the question decided by a o impotent legal tribunal. THE CONDEMNED CONVICT DAVIS.—Tte unhappy man Davis, who has been sentenced to death for the murder of his wife, at Islington, and whore t xecutioe has been definitively fixed to take place at the 0 41 it Beiley next Monday week, is represented to be quite reconciled to his fate, convinced that he cannot indulge lily hope of mercy after the communications which have been officially made to him by the sheriffs. He pays 2) marked attention to the instruction s of the chaplain, and frequently exprmses contrition fur the crime he cam- 1 i spitted, and which he repeatedly avers he should never have perpetrated had it Rot been for the mad excite ment occasioned by excessive drink. n; —.l general can duct in the gaol leads to the belief that he is a man of quiet habit', and not of a fercci J u s disposition, and that, therefore, his statement in reference to his intoxicaticn 1 I unhappily too true. ONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTP.T.T.TGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoorc. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed without any particular alteration. The sales for the week are 21,000 bales, and prices have receded id. to id. per lb. The Bank cf England returns are completed to 'Wednesday last, in accordance with the new arrangement, and the operations of the establish ment during the nine days, viz., from the 24th ultimo, have been of the most unfavourable k;nd, fully justifying the course taken by the Directors. In fact, the rise to 9 per cent, under the existing system could not be prevented, and, during the next few days, every movement will be narrowly watched in order to ascertain, if possible, whether a further elevation is probable. The reserve of notes ex hibits a very unsatisfactory figure, and scarcely ex ceeds 2,000,0001., while the bullion has suffered to the extent of nearly 900,0001. The other securities, again, have undergone an unsatisfactory change, the addition being more than 2,000,0001. Alto gether, therefore, the position of the Bank is critical, and cannot withstand an increase, or even a continuance of the crisis, without some reli, fis afforded by the Leg:slature. Subjoined are the principal items of Wednesday's return, and the changes it presents compared with that of the 24th ultimo Active Circulation Increase ... Bullion Decrease SHARE MARKETS—ahis Day.)

Count. Caldonian. 91 - 93 93 - 95 12 - 14 130 - 133 31 - 41 For a considerable time past it would appear a systematic robbery of materials of various descrip ' Lions given out by the War Department at the Tower, Baggott-street, Birmingham, to the Govern ,' arms,mall meat hascon tbraecetnorsforthe perpetrated im punity. To such a serious e xtent, and with su c h manufacture the greatest o s skill and caution has it been carried on, that some thousands of pounds' worth of property had di,ap peered, apparently without the least clue to its re covery and the detection of tht offenders. Fortu nately, however, through the agency of the metro politan and local detective police, a portion at least of the mystery has been unravelled, and three men are in custody on the charge of being implicated in these depredations. About six weeks since, Messrs. Whately, solicitors, at the instance of J. D. Good man, the chairman of the small arms trade, com municated with Colonel Dixon, the chief of the War Department in London, and in due course the matter was placed inthe hands of the police autho rities at Scotland-yard. The result was that Ser geants Smith and Lockyer, two of the m os t c l ever and experienced officers Of the Metropolitan De tective Force, were despatched to Birminzhain, and commenced their inquiries, in conjunction with Inspector Glossop and Detective Sergeant Man ton. They ascertained that the materials stolen were in the yarious stages of completion, and were lost during the process of manufacture ; that they were the property of the War Depart. ment, and though given out to the contractors fur the purpose of being "set up" into guns, the later were responsible for their safe return in that shape. If any portion of them became lost after going into the possession of a contractor, others were sup plied, but the cost was deducted from the account of the contractor at the settlement. Thus if a con tractor were robbed, he alone sustained the pecu cuniary liability. As many a 3 twenty firms in Birmingham contract in this way fur the War De pertinent, and the magnitude of the interest involved may be inferred from the fact that there are never less than from 20,000 to 25,000 sets of materials entrusted to them, for the purpose of "setting up." The manufacturers employ cperatives, termed "out-workers," to execute the greater part of the work. SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock. SERVIA. Subjoined is a synopsis of the report forwarded by the Belgrade police to the Servian Criminal Court on the 24th October, on which date the poll tie ). prisoners were handed over to the judges for trial : Gt. Westn. V. & N.M. I 1& =---107 S. Eastern Do Peto &Co Do 12 - 13 224 - 234 89 - 91 1 - " Not long since a horrible conspiracy was discovered, the object of which was the assassination of the Prince and the oveithow of the Government. The prin cipal conspirators are :—Stephen Stefanovitch, Pre sident of the Senate, General and Knight; Paun Jankovitlob, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Radom" Damjanovitecb, Senator, Colonel, and Knight; Paul Staniscbitsch, Senator, Colonel, and Knight ; and Z wetko Rajovitch, President of the Court of Cas eation. The others are persons who had cognisance of what was intended. The three persons first mentioned unanimously agreed that the reigning lord and prince should bo put to death (übije). On being asked whom they intended to choose as his successor, they replied, that they bad no hope of getting a foreign prince. The family of Karagjorgjevicbs, was to be altogether excluded, and they had no wish to have an Obrenovitsch. To judge from the language used by Stefanovitsch to one Peter Lekitscb, he intended to have himself proclaimed Regent on the death of Prince Alexander. Stefanovitsch, however, confessed that he had entered into communicatien with Prince Milosch, and had . held out to him hopes of regaining the Hospoda nate. Stefanovitsch had an interview with Milosch at Pesth, and obtained a promise of 5,000 ducats from him ; but the conspirator never intended to keep his promise to the old ma; who is as weak as a little child, and consequently not fit to be a ruler.' The 5,000 ducats were taken to Belgrade by a Dr. Patzek, who delivered the whole sum, with the exception of 150 ducats, which he kept for himself, into the hands of M. Zwetko Rajovitsch, wEo sent it to Ste phen Stefanovitsch. The latter divided the money in the following way kept 850 ducats for himself, and gave M.M. Jankovitsch, Damjanovitsch, Stanischitsch, and Raj 'vitscli 1,000 ducats each. Damjanovitt:ch undertook to find a man who would assassinate the 11,spodar, and asked Mrtzajlovitech, a Cus tom-house clerk, if he could. recommend a trusty individual. The reply was in the affirmative, and a certain Milosaw Petrovitsch, a robber and murderer, was soon introduced to the principal conspirators. A passport and a rifle were procured for Milosaw, and, after information as to where the Prince was to be found had boon given him, 40 ducats were put into his hands by Paun Jankovitsch as earnest money' Ln. &N.

THE GREAT PUTTY CASE. ----- The great Putty case is given in extenso by Colonel Cotton as follows : " A range of barracks is built by an engineer at a cost of 30,0001. or 40,000/. ; there is a large saving on the estimate sanctioned, for which he officially receives the thanks of the Court of Directors. Some time after wards a storm occurs which breaks a few panes of glass valued at 71. The whole Presidency is at once in a •tate of excitement. The heads of that division of the army are directed to assemble a committee of officers to investigate this matter. Their report is referred to the Military Board, who after patiently examining all the papers, and referring to all their records, forward all the documents to the Governor in Council, with a deliberate and elaborate report; in whit) they assurerthe Govern. ment that they have not hurry come to a decision, but have given their best energies to the investigation, and they conclude that the cause of the windows being broken was the inferior (rally of the putty, and therefore the engineer ought to pay for them. All the papers con nected with this intricate and vital matter are now . xareined by the Secretary to Government, who sends them in circulation to the Governor and the other three members of Council. After a sufficient time has been given them to consider this weighty subject, and to record their individual sentiments in writing, the important day at length arrives, when the whole is to be reviewed and discussed in Council. The flag is I hoisted, his Excellency's carriage with two troopers with drawn sworJs in front, and three behind, enters the Fort, and is drawn up at the gate of the Government offices. It is followed by the Commander in -Chief, and the two councillors with their silver sticks. The secretaries are summoned, and this solemn investi gation is proceeded with, upon which the fate of 71 depends. It, is however discovered that the decision of such an important question by an assembly drawing among them salares amounting to 40,0001. or 50,0001. a-year, and the cost of %hose weekly meetings in council may be calculated at about 1,0001., would be too presumptuous. After much discussion therefore and probably a second or third set of minutes, it is decided that the secretary shall draw up a report embo lying the opinions of the council, to be submitted with all the important documents connected therewith, to Vze Hon ourable Court of Directors, and the Board of Control. " The thoughtless mail agent little thinks what he has got under his charge, when he receives the box con taining this despatch in the cabin on board the steamer. After many months, during which these papers have been the frequent subject of communica tion and discussion among the secretaries, directors, ate , in London, another steamer pr ocee d s with the freight of these papers., greatly int:motel in bulk and value a t h e m b e y the . They ropinionseae h and Madras decision ; t of he the council ang u st is boards again assembled ; the despatch is considered ; a copy with resolutions, &e., is sent to the military board, and after having been circulated, considered, discussed, &0., by them, instructions are issued announcing that the Honourable Court, of course with the concurrence of the Board of Controls), have decided for reasons duly stated that the windows shall be mended, at the ex pense of the engineer. If a wing of the barracks had fallen down, of course as a subaltern could not pay a lack of rupees there would be no alternative but to rebuild it at the public expense ; but as he can pay 71, justice to the public service requires that he should be made an example of. In the meantime as the officer is not in India, the matter lies over for a year or two. On Lis return, being surprised at the receipt of these orders, after having been officially thanked by the Court for having acquitted himse:f so well in the con struction of tins large building, he addresses the chief engineer, giving him in a few words reasons why he ought not to be held responsible for the loss of the 71 , and as he has not previously had an opportunity of speaking in his own behalf, the chief engineer draws up a minute on the subject, which is laid before the Military Board, who again considers the question and once more report to Government. Nothing can exceed the con descending and unwearied patience of all the authorities. The Governor once more records a minute; the second member of Council minutes, the third member minutes, the Governor winds up by a fourth minute : by which time the subject is ripe for discussion. Again the Council assemble, consider, decide, and issue instruc tions to the Military Board ; and, finally, the officer is told that he may keep his 71. And so ends the affair ; till ille report of the Governor in Council reaches the Court, when they will possibly order the matter to be taken up de novo, and thoroughly investigated. It should be mentioned, that it was discovered at last that some brads bad been omitted in fixing the glass, which was not likely to be discovered either by the Pre sident of the B Itrd of Control, the 24 directors and their secretary, the governor and council of Madras and their secretaries, the military board, the chief engineer, the general of the division, the committee of officers, or the engineer himself; as none of them had ever served an apprenticeship to a glazier. " This is the literal history of an Indian question, which has recently been agitated." SIR HENRY LA GFRENCE. The following letter has been addressed to a eon luleinvrtienrgest . temporary : . Sir, - -The British public arc hardly yet aware of the real extent of the loss of such a man as Sir Henry Le alwaysedxtusrpalcatyferdominathverifivealtde. the present time. His statesmanlike anadvimeuiclietaarty foresight was at least equal to the gal lantry" The revelation that will soon be made if Luck nowletter will be be relieved will . certainly raise Henry's reputa tion higher than it . stands evea at present, for all will feel that to him c its successful defence is mainly due. Sox wee!isbeLore the outbreak there were no rea T d he w f i o t more defences about the Residen c y or i ts magaz i ne than that abou t a house in an English gentleman's park ; but Henry was not new to this let-be sys tem, which prevails through India as at home, and among his first proceedings on taking up his post at Lucknow was that of putting the Residency into a defensible state. The defences were afterwards much added to, but what would have been the state of things there had an ordinary man been at the head ?" Your obedient servant, K. T. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

LUARD, M.D. Porter, Curpus Taylor - V., Trinity The Government has appointed a commission, of which Mr. Sidney Herbert is to be president, to visit the bar racks and military hospitals of the United Kingdcm, w i th a v i e w to improve their sanitary conditior. Investigation, in the courso of a short time, placed the detectives in possession of some infor mation which induced them to watch closely the movements of a man named Thomas Williams, em ployed at the Tower as a lock setter-up and ex aminer. They were for some time foiled in dis covering anything that could implicate him, but at length they clearly traced out a complicity between him and two men named Brueton, in the service as outvrorkers of Mr. Turner, Fisher-street, one of the Government contractors, who has been a sufferer by these depredations to a large amount. We are unable to state the precise nature of the connection of these men, but evidence was ob•ained against them to warrant the apprehension of the three on Saturday last by Sergeants Smith and Lockyer, the Bruetons on the charge of stealing, and Williams ou that of receiving a large quan tity of stolen guns. They were brouget up at the public office, Birmingham, ou Wednesday, be fore Mr. H. Van Wart and Mr. T. R. T. Hodgson. Mr. George Whately, vs ho appeared for the prose cution, without going into any of the facts of the , case, which he said was not then complete, formal.) , applied for a remand for a - week. Mr. Filet*, barris ter (ins'ructed by Mr. Palmer), on behalf of the prisoners, did not oppose this course, but asked that bail for their appearance might be taken. Mr. Whately, however, resisted the application on the ground that the liberation of the prisoners would tend materially to interfere with the ends of ju,tice ; and after some conversation it was refused by the bench. THE LATE GENERAL CAVAIGN.AC. The Siecle offers a warm tribute to the memory of General Cavaiguac, of whom it speaks in the following terms:— " The love and esteem we bear towards our country , do not blind us to the imperfections of the national cha racter. If the French are sometimes heroical, if they are nearly always susceptible of magnificent bursts of enthu siasm, they do not in general possess the sense of dnty which, with civil courage, assures the triumph of opinions. Doubtless, the French, who sacrifice their lives so easily for glory, are capable of other slcrifices, but not with a steady purpose. This disposition of the nation is to be found naturally in the various political, military and civil careers. If General Cavaignac is particularly distin guiAhed from Ms contemporarieF, it is because he ob, served in all positions, high or low, in public as in pri vate life, that regard for duty, that worship of the real, the just, and the good, to which others bestow only passing offerings. At Tlemcen, at the blockade of Me deah, at the retreat of Miliatiab, at the head of the army as at the head of the nation, or when retiring from power, he was ever the same man, profoundly devoted to his sense of duty. General Oavaignac knew not the system which consists on throwing on another a part of one's responsibility; he recognised his duty to the full extent of the term ; he accepted without a murmur in gratitude and calumny ; he was so satisfied that his path was the correct one that he disdained in reply when he was accused. Only once he imagined that his honour required that he should explain his condoct to the as sembly, which had given him powers, and there again the sentiment of duty made him an intrepid soldier and an heroical general. He descended from power without forfeiting his dignity. When in power he had enemies and was calumniated ; but in his private character he conquered the etteem of all. He was a poor man when appointed to the first position in the republic ; he was even poorer when he returned to private life. Plutarch alone could describe that dignified poverty which no one knew or suspected. Under a cold exterior General Ca vaignac possesed ft warm heart. We know with what passion he loved and honoured his mother and brother. We will mention one c'rcumetance which is little known. Gen. Cavaignace, appointed to the presi dency of the executive power; refused obstinately all the means, even the legal ones, which were offered to him to perpetuate his rule. Amongst othi r proposals, an offer was made to him in August, almost on the morrow of the days of June, to obtain from the assembly the vote of the article in the constitution which treated on the presidency, and to proceed at once to the election. He refused, because he would not submit to the charge of ambition, because he wished to owe all to the opinion of the country. . . Let the political existence, or the military and private life of the general be examined, and it will be admitted that Cavaignac presents one of the most complete and noble characters cf our national his tory. He would have been Washington had the country willed it—he may sit in Al he gallery of anciet,t heroes between Epaminondas and Phocion." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WENLOCK RACES.—FRIDAY.

ATTIMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE. —For some time past a man named Featherstone, a farm servant in the employ of Mr. Passtnore, E'Lst Down, near Throstaple, had complained of being ill-treated by the female ser vants in the house. A few days ago he quitted Mr. Paernere's service alleging this as his reason. On the evening of his leaving, two of the women were sitting at work in the kitchen, when the prisoner came and fired a blunderbuss, loaded with shot, through the window, greatly frightening, but not injuring the women. He escaped pursuit, and went and hung himself in a neigh bouring wood, where he was found by a gentleman who wa s rabbit shooting. An inquest was held, and 3 verJlet of " Temporary inranity" returned. WAREHOUSEMEN A ND CLERKS' SCHOOL The fourth anniversary dinner of this excellent institution was celebrated on Thursday evening at the Loudon Tavern. The chair was taken by Charles Dickene, Esq., who, in proposing the toast of the ev en i ng , "P rosperity to the Warehousemen and Clerks' School," spoke as follows :—Ladies and gentlemen—l now solicit your attention for a few minutes to the cause of your assembling toge ther—the main and real object of this evening's gathering ; for I suppose we are all agreed that the motto of these tables is not "Let us oat and drink, for to-morrow we die ; ' but "Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we live." (Cheers.) It is because a great and good work is to live to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to live a greater and a better life with every succeeding to morrow, that we eat and drink here at all. (Cheers.. Conspicuous on the card of admission to this dinne) is the word "Schools." This set me thinking thier morning what are thesortsofschools that I don't like. I found them, on consideration, to be rather nume rous. I don't like—to begin with, and to begin, like charity, at home—l don't like the sort of school to which I once went myself—(laughter) —the re spected proprietor of which was by far the most ignorant man I ever had the pleasure to know— (laughter)—one of the worst-tempered men perhaps that ever lived, whose business it was to make as much out of us, and put as little into us, as possible —(great laughter)—and who sold us at a figure which I remember we used to delight to estimate as amounting to exactly 2/. 4s. 6d. per head. (Laugh ter.) I don't like that sort of school, because I don't see what business the master bad to be at the top - of it instead of the bottom, and because I never could understand the wholesomeness oFthe moral preached on the abject appearance and degraded condition of the teacher', who plainly said to us by their looks every day of their lives, " Boys, never be learned ; whatever you are, above all things be warned from that in time by our sunken cheeks, by our poor pimply noses—(laughter)—by our meagre diet, by our acid beer, and by our extra ordinary suits of clothes—(roars of laughter)—of which no human being can say whether they are snuff-coloured turned black, or black turned snuff coloured—(laughter)—a- point upon which we our selves are perfectly unable to offer any ray of en lightenment, it is so very long since they were un darned and new." (Continued laughter.) I do not like that sort of school, because I have never yet lost my ancient suspicion touching that curious coincidence that the boy with four brothers to come always got the prizes. (Great laughter.) In fact, and in short, I do not like that sort of school, which is a pernicious and abomin Able humbug alto gether. (Hear, hear.) Again, ladies and gentle men, I don't like that sort of school—a tidies' school—with which the other school used to dance on Wednesday, where the young ladies, as I look back upon them now, seem to me always to have in new stays and disgrace—the latter concerning a place of which I know nothing at this day, that bounds Timbuctoo on the north-east—(laughter)— and where memory always depicts the youthful en thraller of my first affections as for ever standing against a wall, in a curious machine of wood, which confined her innocent feet in the first dancing position, while those arms, which should have encircled my jacket—(great laughter)---those precious arms, I say, were pinioned behiud her by an instrument of torture c tiled a b tckboard, fixed in the manner of a &Allele direction-post. (Hear, hear.) Again, I d on 't lik e th a t sort of school of which we have a notable example is Kent, which was established ages ago by worthy scholars and good men long deceased, whose munificent en dowments have been monstrously perverted from their original purpose, and which in their distorted condition are struggled for and fought over with a most indecent pertinacity. Again, I don't like that sort of school—and I have seen a great many such in these latter times—where the bright chil 'ish imazinatiou is utterly discouraged, and where those bright childish faces which it is so very good for the wisest among us to remember in after-life (hew, hear)—and when the world is too much with us, early and late—are gloomily and grimly scared out of countenance; where I have never seen among the pupils, whether boys or girl., anything but little parrots and smlll calculating machines. Again, I don't by any means like schools in leather breeches, and with mortified baskets for bonnets, which file along the streets in long melan choly rows, under the escort of that surprising British monster—a beadle—(great laughter), whose system of instruction, I am afraid, too otten pre sents that happy union of sound with sense of which a very remarkable instance is given in a ;rave re port of a tru-tw or thy sc h oo l i nspec t or, to the effec that a boy, in great repute at a school for his barn ing, presented on his slate, as one of the ten cem manditientq, the perplexing prohibition, " Thou shalt not commit doldrum." (Laughter.) Ladies and gentlemen, I confess also that I d on ' t lik e th ose school, even ugh the instruc'ion given in them be gratuitous, where those sweet little voices, which outset to be heard speaking in very different accents, anathematise by rote any human being who does not hold what is taught there. Lastly, Ido not like, and I did not like some years ago, cheap dis tant school', where neglected children pine from year to year cinder an amount of neglect, want, and youthful mi,ery far too sad even to be glanced at iu this cheerful ess.,mbly. (Hear, hear.) And now, ladies and gantleinee, perhaps you will permit me to sketch in a few words the sort of school that I do like. (Hear, hear.) It is a school established by the members of an industri ous and useful order, which supplies the comforts and graces of life at el', ry familiar turning in the road of our existence ; it is a school established by them for the orphan and nece sltous children of their own brethren and sisterhood ; it is a place giving an education worthy of them—an education by them invented, conducted, w itched over ; it is a place of education where, while the beautiful his tory of the Christian religion is daily taught, and while the life of that Divine Teacher who himself took little children ou his knees is daily studied, no sectarian nor narrow human dogma is lyr mitted to darken the face of the clear heaven which they disclose. It is a children's school, which is, at the same time, no less a children's home—a home not to be confided to the care of cold or igno rant strangers, nor by the nature of its founda i tion, in the course of ages to pass into hands that have as much natural right to deal with it as the peaks of the highest I - maintains or with the depths of the sea, but to ba from generation to generation ad eyed by men living in precisely such homes as those poor children have lost—(cheers)—by men always bent upon making that replace ment such a home as their own dear children might find a happy refuge in if they themselves were taken early away. And I fearlessly ask you, is this a design which has any claim to your sym pathy ? Is this a sort of school which is deserving of your suppart ? This is the design, this the school whose strong and simple claim I have to lay before you to night. I must particularly entreat you not to suppose that my fancy and unfortunate habit of fiction has anything to do with the picture I have just presented to you. (Hear, hear.) It is sober matter of fact. The Warehousemen and Clerk,' Schools, established for the maintaining, clothing, and educating of the orphan and necessitous chil dren of those employed in the wholesale trades and manufactures of tho United Kingdom are, in fact, what I have just described. These schools for both sexes were originated only four years ago. In the first six weeks of the undertaking the young men, of themselves, arid quite unaided, subscribed the large sum of 3,0001. The schools have been opened only three years ; they have now on their foundation thirty-nine children and in a few days they will ha ve s i x more, making a total of forty five, (Cheers.) They have been most munificently assisted by the heads of great mercantile houses, numerously represented, I am happy to say, around me, and they have a funded capital of almost 14,0001. This is wonderful progress, but the aim must be still upwards, the motto always "Excelsior." (Cheers.) You do not need to be told that five and-forty children can form but a very small pro portion of the orphan and necessitous children of those who have been entrusted with the wholesale trades and manufactures of the United King dom ; you do not require to be informed that the house at New-cror , s, rented for a small term of years, in which the schools are at present established, can afford but most imperfect accom modation for such a breadth of design. To carry this great work through the tw o of better and best, there mus t be r m ei o n r a e in w in a e k d , e m gr o e r e e s b co e -o u p le er f a r t i i e o n n d — s (Cheers and , m an o d re g f i ri ve en t d h s e , m m o or n e ey m . y. Then laughter.) The subscriptions amounted to upwards of 2,4001. TILE " CLUB SCIENTIFIQUE " AT PARTS.—MEETING OF INVENTORS. — On Monday, the 16th November, will be opened in Paris a new club—the Scientific Club —of which the basis was laid down at the monthly dinner held by the scientific editors cf all the Pari journals. These editors will form the centre of the new club ; to which, however, will be soon added the most distin guished savants of Paris. By a novel arrangement, which may be considered as the most fortuitous part of the scheme, there will be held a meeting every Monday evenin!, where inven',ors will be at liberty to develope their ideas. Then ,by tie initiativ3 aid of the press, and in opposition to those prejudices and that red-tapism which still rule our academics and learned societies, there will be less apprehension for useful and important inventions being neglected and despised . , If these weekly meetings had been held before, surely Fulton would not have carried his invention to the United States, neither would a Frederic Sauvage and Cort have died insane or heart brk-Jken,— Communicatcd by Dr, Lotsky, 25 50 25 12A 12 20 54 all all all all 50 50 50 25 1211 all St. 100 10 all 12 all 50 all 25 all St. 100 `D0.... .
