LON DON, MON DAY MORNING_ SUN, NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CO/tNIIILL, LONDON. Capitalsoo,oool. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance meat of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body ( f the active mambes and °dicers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch Office in connexion with tho•o izocieties and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services might he successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of more effectually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the Indus trious classes, and a pia , ' has been ,roposed with that object. ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. ' Many praiseworhy but Ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of inc. tality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these ass,ciations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whist should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the •tiannei through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in propor ion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecuniary sacrifice ; while to others 'such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employMent caused by sickness le a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there Is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly or Annual payment, two or more contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar funaions. and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - ness-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso elation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really siek arc likely to become chargeable upon it. But the same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fluid is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out Calculations, money investment being in general beyond , tbs , experlenee of the industrious classes.. For these reasons it is clear that the hinds destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a provision for old age : Ist Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though. apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and Individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial {Jodie.. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amon,st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan itself; without being fully sagsfied that the conven ence and safety of Friendly and Benefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed nrospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

Dr. Spry opened the proceedings by reading a memorial, which set forth that the vestry did not oppose the objects proposed by the Bill, but on the contrary were but were opp ose d to anxious for the sanitory c ondition of t he People. I =ley did not object to the mach iner y of the Bill, h its centralising character, to its interference with self-govern ment, to its mode of appointing one-third of the council, and also to the clauses by which they believed the local Acts by which the parish bad b een g overned were repealed. Th e also objected to levy ra tes without limit, for the accomplishy ment of objects over which they had no control. The Rev. Dr. Spry, Sir James Hamilton, and other gentlemen of the •deputation, spoke at some length upon the inefficiency and impracticability of the present system of the Government Commissioners of Sewers. Sir B. Hall and Sir C. Napier re. a on ris t h ht n minded Lord Morpeth that the sentiments expressed iiv th deputation were not only the sentiments of the rateparjrs t 1 al t l h p e erso ' ;is we ' re Alarylebone, but p o re f s,, nearly s e a v t j e s r f 3 a , c t p i alLtrivo : . Lord Morpeth ex agreed on the necessity of some measure being edopted for the improvement of the sanitory and so c i a l condition of the people, and bad no doubt th at means would be devised for carrying into effect the objects of the deputation. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The Electric Tele graph Company have taken offices in the Central Exchange, at. Newcastle- upon-Tyne, which will be a great accommo dation to the inhabitants of that town ; for, instead of having to send their messages to the railway station at Gatesheid, as at present, th e y will deliver them at the offices, where messengers will be kept for the purpose of taking them across It is the intention of the compan— y to extend their wires from the various railway stations to the Exchange, so that when the telegraph is completed on that part of the North-Western line between London a n d Rugby, and be tween Newcastle and Edinburgh, Newcastle will be brought into instantaneous communication with all the principal cities and towns of Great Britain, a circumstance which must be of infinite importance to the commercial public, especially of that locality.

FOREIGN WOOL MARKET, MAY 7.—Owing to the absence of a considerable number of buyers at the Lon. don sales, the business done in this market has been only on a limited scale, but prices may ba quoted with out variation. ENGLISII WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MAY, 7.—Sales during the present week have been flat, and prices arc without alteration. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. MAY 7.—Transactions in combing wools are very small, without quoting any decided alteration in the price, the light stocks in these markets keep prices steady. YORK WOOL MARKET.—We understand the York wo)1 markets, for the new clip, will commence on Thursday the 3d day of June next. LEEDS.—On this day week we had a fair average market at the Cloth Halls, in comparison with the mar • kets for the last few weeks ; but on Tuesday there was less done than for a long time past. This was caused.by the sudden rise in the price of corn in Lon don on Monday, together with the extreme pressure in the money market. Fortunately there are not very heavy stocks in any hands, and in consequence prices are firm. Business in the warehouses has also been very dull this week, from the same cause. The high rates of discount prevent the large buyers from visiting the market, and every one seems to be acting on the policy of, avoiding entering into heavy engagements for the present. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, MAY 6.—Trade to-day has been comparatively at a dead stand. There have been a few buyers in the market on American account, but their purchases were marked with the ut most caution. There has been a general complaint again of the want of business in the warehouses during the week. HECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, MAY 6.—There has been very little doing at this market to-day, but Monday's market was a shade better, the tightness in the money market causes the buyers to act with great cau tion. There is not much alteration in prices for a month past. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had no parallel in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant of so complete a stagnation in trade as that which has been experienced this week. There are numbers of Americans in town, but who, from the state of the discount market, are rendered unable to operate to any extent. Prices for cloth and yarns are quite nominal, and the market to-day closed with a dulness beyond all former example. NOTTINGHAM—There has been some business done during the cast week in finished goods, chiefly fancies, silk and cotton ; but it has evidently been only so far as necessary for the purpose of assorting up stocks, and not at all equal to the usual demand for the spring trade. Under these circumstances, buyers of unfinished goods use great caution, to meet wnich more machinery is stopping work, and consequently the hands are thrown out of employment. Prospects in trade are gloomy. The stagnation in the hosiery trade has increased, and we hear more than is at all pleasant of the stoppage of frames, and amongst the publicans and tradesmen, of want of business.—Nottingham Review. LEICESTER.--The prospects of any profitable business being done in manufactured goods seems even more gloomy than we reported last week. • Some buyers have been in the market, but they have done little or nothing in the regular way; any sales that are effected have been at most ruinous prices, to meet present contingencies. The money market is mere stringent, discounts can only be obtained on the most unexceptionable paper at short dates ; this will cripple trade, and try the capital of the most prudent, as bankers cannot give them their usual accommodation. The further rise in the grain market has also operated injuriously. A great many frames were stopped last Saturday, and we fear the number will be,much increased to-morrow, as nothing but loss pre sents itself in making up goods. The yarn market is very flat, and serious losses are submitted to in forcing sales, but as short time is generally acted upon by the spinners, the stocks of yarn are not so heavy as they are generally at this season of the year. There has not been much doii.g in wools, without any noticeable dif ference in price.—Leicester Journal. MANCHESTFR, FRIDAY.—The dullness and depression in our market continue unaltered, except that the fall in the price of cotton at Liverpool, has produced a more decided and general decline in the prices of goods and yarn than had previously taken place. The must strik ing feature of the market, however, is an almost entire cessation of business, so that prices are almost nominal. We are sorry to learn, the failure of a house in this town engaged in the American trade, the engagements of which are said to be about 60,0001., partly here and partly in Yorkshire. So far as we can learn, the general impression appears to be, that the stoppage has been oc casioned entirely by the peculiar state of the money market, and that little loss will eventually be sustained. We mentioned, on Wednesday, an expectation, that some additional mills in this town would stopeutirely during the present week. That expectation has been realised; for, on Tuesday evening, three concerns, employing collectively about 2,000 hands, ceased working. We understand that the employers proposed to one class of their work people a reduction of wages, which the latter declined to accept, and, consequently, left their employment. Since Wednesday, we have received some particulars of the num ber of factories w o rking lull and short time and entirely stopped in the boroughs of Bolton and Stockport, which which were not included in the return we then gave. In the borough of Bolton, out of a total number of 52 factories, 25 are working full time, 24 short time, and three are entirely stopped. In that part of the borough of Stockport which is situated in Cheshire, two mills, with 105 horses' power, and employing 525 hands, are working full time ; five mills, with 116 horses' power, and previously employing 580 hands, entirely stopped ; and twenty mills, with 1,783 horses' power, and employ ing 8,915 hands, are working some three, some four days per week.--Manchester Guardian. This has been one of the severest and most trying weeks experienced in Manchester for many years, and we are sorry to say that the prospects for the coming week are unrelieved by a single alle viating circumstance. At the moment we are writ ing, information has reached us from London that wheat has again risen today from 4s. to 6s. above the prices of Monday last, and that about 13,000 quarters of what which had just come in, were immediately purchased for shipment to France. The embarrassed state of the money market operates with undiminished force upon every department of our trade, inducing parties on all hands to adopt the most cautious policy, and for the present to confine their operations within the narrowest compass. The general gloom arising from the state of our monetary affairs has been increased by the failure of an American house, whose liabilities are reported to be considerable, and which will effect to some extent a few large firms in this town. Under the circumstances scarely any business can be effected, and the prices of Tuesday last are with difficulty supported. Some rather extensive purchases of yarns were made early in the week at very low prices. —Manchester Ad vertiser. CROWN IMPROVEMENTS AT WINDSOR. A Bill is about to be introduced into Parliament by Lord Morpeth, the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, for the purpose of empowering the Commis sioners to carry into effect some most extensive altera tions and improvements (long contemplated) in the ap proaches to the Castle and town of Windsor. It was expected that the Bill would have been brought into the House at a much earlier period of the session, but the House of Commons having ordered, some time since, that no Bill relating to town improvements should be proceeded with betore the Ist of May, this delay was necessarily occasioned. From the very extensive nature of the contemplated improvements, involving the purchase of a great number of houses, and the building of two new bridges across the Thames, it is expected that the grant Of a sum ex ceeding 150,0004 will be rt•quired. The following is a description of the alterations, &e referred to:-- .9 A bridge is to be constructed across the Thames at Datchet from an eyot known as Black Potts, to the north end of the Home Park , apublic road to be m a d e into across Datchetthis lane,rtion a o t f the Windsor,pa park , through le a ding propertythe bridgeu t the Dean and Canons, into Thames -street, at the foot of the Hundred Steps. The whole of the houses and buildings on the south and east sid e o f Th ames - stree t, an d t h e eas t s id e o f High street, are to be entirely cleared away from the foot of the Hundred Steps to Castle-hill, and the road way considerably widened and improved. All the roads and public footways now leading into the Home Park, or across the Long-walk between the double gates, in the Great Park and the Castle, are to be stopped up. In lieu of these, a new road is to be made from the Sheet street-road across or under the Long-walk, proceeding through Shaw and Clay Hall farms, at the back of Frogmore House and the new royal kitchen gardens to Old Windsor and Egham By this alteration Frogmore House and grounds and the Castle and Home Park will be within what may be termed " a ring fence." A new road is to be made from Old Windsor across a field, the property of the Crown, near the Nelson Inn, in the present Frogmore-road, down to the river, where the second bridge is to be constructed to the opposite bank, in the parish of Datchet. From this bridge a new road is to be made through the Earl of Harewood's property to Southly House, near the village of Datchet. An entirely new road is to be made along the north bank of the Thames, leading from the village to Black Potts, where it will form a junction with the first intended new bridge above referred to. Ratchet -bridge, half of which is of iron and the other half of wood, in consequence of the disagreement be tween the magistrates of the counties of Berks and Bucks at the time of its erection, is to be pulled down and removed, and all public roads and footpaths in the parish of New Windsor leading to it are to be stopped up. The towing-path and road in Windsor parish, lying between the two intended new bridges, are to be stopped up, and a new road and towing-path to be made on the opposite bank ofthe river. ELECTION:MOVEMENTS.—The friends of Mr. John Simeon and Mr. Fleming are busily empl oye d canvass i ng the electors of th e Isle of W ight ; but the electors seem quite indifferent about the matter. There are no committees formed, nor is the subject even talked about but by the officials. It is the general opinion that not more than half the electors will poll. ARRIVAL OF THE QUEEN AND THE COURT IN THE ISIS OF WIGHT. PORTSMOUTH, MAT 7.—Her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, the lords and ladies in wait• ing, the suite, and attendants arrived at the Royal Clarence yard, Gosport, by the South-Western Railway soon after twelve o'clock,having travelled from Nine Elms by special train. The royal party occupied six carriages Her Majesty and the illustrious party were an hour behind the time fixed for their arrival at Gosport, in consequence, it was reported, of a defect having occurred to the engine attached to the train, which caused a delay, as another engine had to be sent for, which proved not to be so powerful as the first one. This is the first time there has been the slightest impediment in the travelling of the Royal Family on the South-Western Rail way. Fortunately no accident happened, and her Majesty and Prince Albert most graciously excused the unavoidable circumstance. Her Majesty and the Prince were received, on alighting from the train, by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the naval commander-in-chief ; Major-General the Right Hon. Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, G.C.H.. the Lieutenant- Governor of the garrison ; Rear-Admiral Parker, C.B. ; the staff of the garrison ; Captains Pasco, Chads, C. 8., Milne, and llacres, of her Majesty's ship Victory, Excellent, St. Vincent, and Avenger; Captain-Superintendent Sir Edward Parry, and the officers of the Clarence establishments; the commanding officers of the Royal Artillery and Engineers, and the lieutenant-colonel and the field -officers of the 2d and 43d regiments, and the Royal Marines and Marine Artillery, and guard of honour furnished from the 2d Foot. Mr. Mears, superintendant of the railway, was in attendance to give every facility to remove the luggage, &c. Her Majesty and Prince Albert graciously acknowledged to Admiral Sir C. Ogle and Lord and Lady Fitzclarence, and the other officers, the atten tion paid, and immediately proceeded to the royal barge, and as the state of the tide did not admit the Fairy yacht being brought alongside the Clarence jetty, her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal children were taken on hoard in the state barge, which was steered by Captain the Right Honourable Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence; the remainder of the suite following in the yacht's boats. Her Majesty was received on the deck of the Fairy by Commander Crispin and the officers of the yacht, and with the customary celerity which prevails in the movements of the Royal Family, the yacht was clear of the harbour in about ten minutes after her Majesty arrived in the garrison. The St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, and Recruit were dressed with flags on the occasion. Royal sa lutes were fired from the St. Vincent and Victory, and they manned yards and cheered as the yacht passed with the royal standard flying. The guns of the Blockhouse Fort, the Plat.• form Battery, and Fort Monckton also saluted. The Fairy got to Cowes soon after one o'clock, and her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal party landed at Trinity Wharf, under a salute from Cowes Castle, and proceeded to Osborne in the royal carriages. The Fairy was navigated to Cowes by Com mander Crispin, under the direction of Captain Lord Adol phus Fitzclarence. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal Family appeared in excellent health. SPLENDID NEW GROUP, BY GIBSON, (From the Roman Advertiser.) Mr. Gibson is just completing a work which, we are convinced, will add to the fame even of one already standing so high. It has been executed for Earl Fitz william, and is to form the frieze of a mantel-piece, raised to the height of six feet from the ground. The subject is, " The Hours leading the horses of the Sun to the chariot of Apollo;" whose figure was intended to have been introduced (could the limits of the piece have been extended), seated on the chariot, with Phmton standing before him, and entreating the privilege which proved fatal to his life. The original plan was departed from on account of the difficulty of carrying it out within the compass and form prescribed by the destination of the work ; and, in its actual com pletion, the figures of three Hours and four horses form the entire group. The number three was ascribed to the personified Hours by the earliest Greek poets, whilst those of later date increased their number to seven and, at last, to ten. Mr. Gibson has represented them as winged and crowned with olive leaves, the hair and dress alike in the three, though the gracefully-flowing stola is differently disposed of in each ; and, whilst the same type of countenance belongs to all, individuality is not yet wanting. The foremost is in the attitude of strained effort, as she curbs the impatience of the horse, who is advancing beyond the rest, using both arms with the reins, the drapery flowing nearly to the feet. The second holds, but without so much effort, the bridle of the noble steed, with whom she keeps pace, in an attitude expressive of rapid motion through the air : her drapery, girded round the waist, falls off one shoulder and bosun, and is gathered so as to display the limbs, giving them freedom for the swiftness of her flight. The third, leading two horses, extends her arms between both, the figure finely poised, so as to fill the inter vening space and connect the members of the group. 'I he draperies are agitated by a wind, that seems to meet and beat back their folds, yet, without destroying the grace of their outlines, even rendering them more effec tive in setting off the beauty of form, the aerially grace ful attitudes of each figure. We never saw, in sculpture, the motion of flying, or rather, rapid coursing through air, so successfully expressed ; ethereal, graceful, yet vigorous, in its (as we might suppose) inconceivable swiftness. The Hours look like beings who never could have trod this earth, whose fair, free existence would have pined in a terrestrial atmosphere, like the southern flowers that wither under northern skies. The artist, to arrive at such conceptions, must not only have studied Greek masters, but familiarized himself with the Greek spirit, in its poetry and mythology; with the joyous sense of existence, as a thing most precious, consecrated to glory and to the development of faculties given for happiness, adorned by the phantasies of a superstition, personifying all things beautiful, rendering the worship ' of the gods the luxury of the imagination. Such was the religion, as presented in its most highly-coloured and idealized aspect. In the introduction of the olive crowns and wings Mr. Gibson has followed the authority of a sister art rather than his own, for the personified Hours (strange as it may appear with a subject so felicitous) have rarely, it ever, been met with on Greek monuments, and it is only in poetry that these attributes have been classically ascribed to them. The olive emblematic of peace, ex pressly given to the Hours, and illustrating the tendency which led to the symbolic beautifying of all things, in a manner to sooth and fascinate the mind, as in Greek mythology is so conspicuous,—the wings, natur ally Ascribed to them by both the ancient and modern imagination, expressing the swiftness of their course, nor without a moral significance though the attitudes of repose,—have been given the preference to, generally i speaking, by the great masters of sculpture, and are certainly most satisfying to contemplate. There are instances in which that character, though bbsent in the physical, is nobly conveyed 'in the intellectual attributes of their works ; others in which, if the moment is that of action, the idea attaching to the personification itself partakes of the eternal, impresses us with the sense of undying, immutable existence, and. is therefore correspondent to the highest purposes of the art. Where there is this character of " eternal movement and eternal repose," the beauty of forms that seem arrested, as if spelt-bound, in the transitory action of the moment, is of a high and sometimes an awe-striking effect, enhancing that sense of a supernatural presence which enters into our admiration of the grandest creations of sculpture, and in the power to convey which that art is so peculiarly qualified for the embodiment of the divine. This beautiful work by 'Mr. Gibson belongs to the last named order, personifying an idea itself immortal, and therefore to be contemplated for ages, as eternal n freshness. FEARFUL ACCIDENT BY A RUN AWAY ENGINE ON THE REIGATE RAILWAY. BRIGHTON, SATURDAY EvEmpta.—Shortly after six o'clock this morning an extraordinary though fearful accident, took place at the terminus of the London and Brighton Railway in this town, by which several car- .. riages were demolished, and considerable damage done to the station. The particulars, as far as we have been able to learn, are as follow: At the hour named, a train of luggage wagons having been backed into a siding, the engine No. 54 (one of Gray's manufacture), was attached, and the engine driver proceeded with it through the points into the main down line on the London side of the company's engine works (about 600 yards from the terminus). There, for some reasons unexplained, it was left on the line, the engine -driver and stoker attending to some trivial business in the engine-house. According to other statements, they left the •" gear" of the engine in a proper position ; but this seems improbable, for in a few minutes it was observed in motion, bearing down the line in the direction of th e t erm i nus . The engine driver and the stoker ran to overtake it, and many others joined in the pursuit, but it gained every moment in speed, rushing forward into the ter minus at a rate of 12 and 15 miles an hour. The porters looked aghast at the approaching engine, and a collision with the carriages that were standing on the rail at the end being inevitable, they made a hasty retreat. In a mo ment afterwards the engine dashed into the carriages with terrific force, totally demolishing the whole of them . : the fragments of which struck the fro nt of the parcels office and part of the refreshment room with such force as to shatter them in. The large buffer springs and posts at the end of the rails were likewise shattered to pieces, and part of the end of the platform torn up. The engine, strange to say, kept its equilibrium, though off the rails; and, with the exception of the front buffers, which were turned up, it seems not to have sustained anY injury. Doubtless, had not the carriages been on the rails, it would have swept through the terminus. Had running it occurred when the passenger trains were the consequences would have proved of a lamenta ble charac ter. The company have since directed the engine driver to be taken into custody, he having acted against the rules and regulations, whi c h set ing forth that engines are not to be left on the permanent lines ungarded, under any circumstances, GRAND POLISH BALL AT WILLIS'S ROOMS, ON FRIDAY, MAY 21.—0 n Friday the first meeting of the Com mittee of the Ladies Patronesses was held at Willis's Rooms, the Marchioness of Ailesbury presided, as on all former occa sions, supported by the Duchess of Bedford, the Viscountess Palmerston, the Lady Charles Fitzroy, the Lady Marianne Ashford, the Viscountess Ebrington, the Lady James Stuart,(es and several others.

We regret to announce that tailures to a considerable extent have taken place within the past week, and others are hourly expected, but we know of none that more fully develops the condition of Ireland's metropolis than the present position of the national, and we may say only, theatre of the country. Under the able manage ment of Mr. Calcraft it has up to the present nobly with stood the pressure of the times ; indeed, from the varied and expensive engagements entered into of late by the management it seems to have been the lessee's object to cater for the public regardless of self. But even this (we may without punning say) solitary place of amuse ment has of late failed though aided by the varied talents of Vestris, Mathews, and Madame Anna Bishop,—even this beautiful theatre is shaken to its very centre, nor should we be surprised, even while we write, that it were closed. However, " out of evil good may spring." For the present deprived of the superintendence of its manager, he has, with the judgment which has dis tinguished him throughout a long theatrical career, appointed, or recommended those parties connected with the property, to appoint a gentleman every way worthy of the trust. Mr. Joy, who has for many years been connected with the establishment, is the party selected for this now arduous office, and we would say wisely so, for well has he discharged the duties of his new position. By his mild and temperate conduct he has succeeded in keeping the company together, and much are th e y, as well as the citizens of Dublin. indebted to him for his unwearied exertions in the cause of the drama. THE JOB AND POST MASTERS' (OF ENGLAND) PROVIDENT FUND. The fourth anniversary dinner of the above institution took place on Friday at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street. Sir Richard W. Bulkeley, Bart., M.P., presided on the occasion. The chair was supported by several noblemen and other distinguished members of the turf. Among the company present we observed Earl Strathmore, the Earl of March. Lord Somerton, Lord G. Lennox, Sir J. Trollope,`, Bart., M.P., Hon. P. J. Pierrepont, Admiral Collier. Colonel Knox, Count Batthyany, Rev. J. Syden ham, B. Pierce, E , q., Metcalfe, Etq., G. Wood, Esq., Mr. Gillian, &c. &c. Upon the cloth being removed, the " Non nobis" was sung by Messrs. Ransford, F. Smith, Binge, Genge, and Taylor. The llealths of the Queen and the Queen Dowager, given by the CHAIRMAN, were responded to in the usual loyal and national style. In proposing the health of his Royal Highness Prue Albert, the Prince of Wales. and the rest of the Royal Family, the CHAIRMAN took occasion to remark that whatever might be the nature of the education to be bestowed upon his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, care should be taken to train him in that which would not in the ►east detract from the dignity of his position, but add to the estimation in which he would be held by the people of England, viz , that he should be a good horseman. The toast was responded to in the most enthusiastic manner. The next toast was that of " Prosperity to the Fund." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing that toast, said that there was per. ups no country in the world where the extremes of affluence and destitution were to be found in such close proximity as in this country. Such a state of things was inseparable from a great commercial coun try, where great enterprise was always going on, and, consequent upon that, great risks and ruinous losses. To provide again.t the evilsof such a state of things, numerous charitable institutions had arisen—such as schools for the instruction of youth, and asylums as places of re fuge for age and destitution. The present institution was founoed with such benevolent intentions, and per haps in no calling or profession in the world were there more risks attending its pursuit, than that to guard against which this society had been founded.—(Hear.) Who was there present in that room, who was not made fully aware of the uncertainty in the value of that noble animal—the horse?—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lords upon his right and upon his left had had disappointments again and again upon the " turr—(Cheers.) Why, the first favourite at the Derby this year, may kick out the front pannel of a cab next year.—(Laughter and cheers.) Not all the judgment which they could bring to their calling, and not all the cunning with which those who dealt in horses bad the reputation of possessing— (Laughter)—could bring that calling out of the general rule which governed other commercial enterprises.— (Crieers.) He was happy to see that, during the six years this society had been in existence, that it had received so much encouragement. The funds at present invested in the name of the society amounted to 6,401/, and its members numbered 222.—(Cheers.) He hoped that those present would nos relax their exertions in behalf of the good cause. He gave, then , with the g reatest p leasure, •• Prosperity to the fund." Sir J. TROLLOPE proposed the next toast, which was " The Hon. Sydney Pierrepont, the founder of the fund," and in doing so passed a high eulogium on the character of that gentleman. and spoke in high terms of the ser vices be had rendered to the " good cause," since the time of its foundation ; his own private subscriptions to the fund had amounted to 500 guineas.—(Cheers.) The Hon. S. P. PIERREPONT returned thanks it. a brief and appropriate style, and proposed the next toast, which was, " Our Noble President, his Grace the Duke of Richmond." The Earl of MARCH, in returning thanks, said he was requested by his father to state that, hail it not been for the debate on the Irish Poor-law in the House of Lords having been adjourned till that night, he would most certainly have been present, and much regretted his in ability to attend. He could assure the company that his father esteemed it both a pride and an honour to ho the president of the society, and felt a deep interest in the success of the fund.

The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Moody, and he, with the assistance of his able colleagues, Messrs. Ransford, Genge, Binge, Taylor, and P. Smith, aided in no small degree in keeping up the interest of the occasion. The dinner was served up in excellent style, and the whole of the arrangements were such as to afford the fullest satisfaction to the numerous company present (amounting to upwards of 300), and to reflect the highest credit upon the judicious arrangements of Messrs. Bathe and Bache. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. BROADFOOT, THE COME. Duci .--ROCHESTER , MAY s.—An awful instance of the un certainty ot lite occurred here to-day. Mr. A. Y. Broadfoot, the stage manager of our theatre, after having been eng . aged in matters connected with his benefit, which was appointed to take place on Monday next, apparently in his usual health and spirits, returned to the theatre about 150011, when he complained of being unwell. Accompanied by Mr. Scott, the scenic artist, he proceeded to Dr. Ely's. Dr. Ely imme diately came into the surgery, when he found the unfortunate gentleman lying on the floor a corpse. An inquest was held in the evening by J. Lewis, E.g., coroner for Rochester, and from the evidence of the medical attendant it appeared that death arose from, an attack of apoplexy,
