ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL. Mr. Baron Martin and Mr. Justice Willes sat yesteir day afternoon in the Exchequer Chamber at Westmin ster, for the purpose of hearing the several partilss claiming to be entitled to the Turkish bonds and other property found in the possession of the prisoners Pierce, Burgess, and Tester, who were convicted of the extensive robbery of bullion upon the South-Eastern Railway. Mr. Bodkin appeared on behalf of the company ; M r . Sleigh, instructed by Mr. A. Crosley, the under-sheriff, represented the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ; Mr. Petersdorff appeared on behalf of an attorney named Saward ; Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchanan, appeared on behalf of the wife of the prisoner Tester ; and Mr. Reynolds, the solicitor for the Treasury, als o attended on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Sleigh first addressed their lordships, and he coin tended that under the ancient charters granted to the cor poration of the City of London the property of all felons convicted in the City was forfeited, and that the sheriffs, by virtue of their office, ought to have the bustody of all the property taken from the prisoner Pierce, he being a felon, and all his goods and chattels being thereby forfeited to the Crown, and the sheriffs, who were the custodians of the Crown, ought therefore to have possession of it. He said that from time immemorial the property of the prisoners 'convicted at the Old Bailey had been given up 'to the sheriffs in that capacity, and he believed this was the first time that these rights in this respect bad ever been contested. He w en t on t o say t h at h e was instruc ted that it was not the fact that Agar placed the money he possessed in Pierce's hands for the benefit of Fanny Kay, but in point of fact he handed it to Mr. Wontner, to , be given to Betty Pierce, the wife of that prisoner, and that there was nothing to show that the whole proceeding was not collusive with a view to defeat the title of the Crown to the property, and he urged that the court had now power under such cirotim• stances to order the property to be given to Fanny ray. Ho then referred to the act of the 7th and Bth Geo. a. 57, which related to the power of the judges to order the restoration of stolen property, but he said that the property now in question was not only not a part of the stolen property, but a great portion of it was not even the proceeds of it, and he urged that the only course that ought to be taken was to place the property in the hands of the sheriffs, who would be responsible for its safe custody, and who would be ready to obey any order that the judges might eventually make respecting it. Mr. Petersdorff then briefly addressed the court, and claimed on behalf of his client to obtain a sum of 260/. for costs that had been iecursed by Mr. Saward in con ducting some legal proceedings for the prisoner Pierce. Mr. Beard, on behalf of Mrs. Tester, claimed the pro perty taken from him, and which, it will be remembered, consisted of certain Spanish Bonds, upon a settlement made by the prisoner before his trial. ' The judges at once decided that neither of these par- ties had any legal claim. With regard to Mr. gaward, he could have no right to be paid his debt out of pro perty in which the Crown had a title, and with refer. once to Mrs. Tester, the bonds in question were dis tinctly made out to be the result of the proceeds of the stolen gold, and she therefore could show no right tothem. Mr. Bodkin said that on behalf of the company all he asked of the court was to order that the property which was undoubtedly the produce of the robbery that had been committed upon them should be delivered ' up. They had paid 10,0001. as the value of the gold that had been stolen, and the company only desired that they should be treated like other prosecutors, and have restored to them that which was clearly made out to be the produce of the stolen property. He then said that it was proved at the trial that 5001. of the purchase mo. ney of the Turkish Bonds was the result of five of the 100/, notes that were obtained in gold at the Bank of England, and about 4001. more that was in the hands of Messrs. Reid, brewers, with whom is had been placed by Mr. Stearn, the publican, on behalf of Burgess. These two sums were clearly shown to have been the produce of the gold that was sold by Pierce and Agar, and which was divided among the prisoners, and it appeared to him that the company were clearly entitled to this money, and that the court should make an order for it to be de livered up to them. The annual meeting of the governors of this hospital, established upon the principle of admitting, all applicants of relief without letters of introduction, was held at the hospital, in Gray's-inn-Sane, yesterday ; Mr. Halswell presided, supported by the Rev. J. B. Owen, Captain Colville, Drs. Marsden and O'Connor, Messrs. Hooper, Nelson, Beweysr, T. H. Wakley, Weedon, Cooke, De Merin, Thomas Carr Jackson, Alex. Marsden ' Finer, Wane, Pope, Snow, Olney, Ford, .Dasi s , &c. The re psrt said — "In presenting the 29th annual report, the committee are happy to congratulate the subscribers on the steadily increasing progress of the hospital in its usefulness to suffering poverty, and in the confidence and favour of the public. The handsome and commodious new wing erected as a memorial to his Royal Highness the late Dike of Sussex, was formally opened in June last, by the Right Honourable Lord Leigh ; the auspi cious event being celebrated by a banquet, hold in Freemasons'-hall, the financial results of which netted the munificent sum of 1,0101. to the charity. The committee acknowledge with the most profound and re spectful gratitude the receipt of an additional donation, during the past year, of 1001. from her most gracious Majesty the Queen, and also a liberal contribution from his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The com mittee are glad to state that frequent instances occur, in continued demonstration of the wisdom and benevolence of the principle of uninterrupted free admission day and night, on which the institution was founded, and to which it has consistently adhered. Its example in this respect was subsequently adopted to a limited extent in other hospitals, though ie none other, as the committee believe, was it the rule, or even the exception, unless in cases of accident, until the Royal Free Hospital em barked upon 'the principle, relying upon an enlight ene d public philanthropy to enable theist to maintain. it. The committee most especthilly _express their conviction, — founded upon the experience of nearly 30 years, that the system of free admission of patients is the only effective mode of dealing with the combined misfortune of disease and destitution. The committee are content to take their stand upon this principle, and are encouraged in their strong impression of its accuracy by the yearly increasing confidence in, and public support of, the hos pital in which it is embodied. It is a great satisfaction to this committee to put upon record that during the past year a larger number of cases of sickness have been snore or less relieved than in any preceding year of the existence of the charity. The number of in-patients ad mitted during the year 1856 amounts to 844, being an increase of 42 as compared with the return for the year 1855. Toe out-patients for the same period were 43,443, being an increase of 4354 cases over the corresponding period for the preceding year. The total number of patients of both sexes for the year 1856 amounting to 44,287—the largest number of sick cases relieved during any one year since the commencement of the charity. The donations of the past year (including the contributions at the inaugural banquet before referred to) amount to 3,1991. Os. 3d., exhibiting an increase of 1,3101.115. id. over the previous year. The amnia) suhseriptiona, up in which the charity more directly de pends as a less precarious means of subsistence, and whieh the committee anxiously desire to see further ex tended, have reached an annual income of 1,5001., show ing an increase of 451. over the previous year. The legacies destine the past year amount to 4,5551. 2s. being 1,926/. Bs. more than the year preceding. Tee total income of the year from all sources is 9,3151. ss. out,of which sum, after payment of numerous cur rent charges cf the hospital, and a considerable amount (1,3001.! for the new building (of which 5,2001 , includ ing 1,6001., the amount of the Sussex Fund, were paid in 1855, and there is still owing 6001. to the builders), the sum of 4,1441. 153. 6d. has been applied towarJs the liquidation of outstanding liabilities. Toe committee venture to press the strong claims of the institution upon the liberality of the public, that they may ere long be enabled; by a final discharge of debts stilt unsettled, to appropriate the entire annual receipts to the exclusive and more extended benefit of the sick and suffering poor. Too practice of bestowing small sums of money and articles of clothing on wholly destitute patients when leaving the hospital is still attended with very gratifying result .S, particularly among the class of un• fortunate fetnalee, who in many instances have been restored to their families or to situations of respectable service, through the instrumentality of the officers of this charity. Money is also given to out patient', who from their destitute condition require immediate food, and who, from want of room, cannot be admitted into the wards on the day of their application, The limits of this report preclude the committee from any detail of the mony interesting, and even af f ecting shapes in which the poor and the labouring classes exhibit their gratitude and confidence in the management of the charity. It may, however, be mentioned that scarcely a week passes without considerable sums in pence, and even in farth• ings, being found by the Weekly Board in the hospital boxes, deposited there by the pooras they pass theates, under circumstances of secrecy, which touchingly illus trate the true canon of Christian charity, " not to let the left hand know what the right hand doeth." In one instance during the last year, a poor mechanic left a brown paper parcel at the gates of the hospital as he passed on to his daily, labour, containing his watch, which was still tickihr.g, as if the self-denying oblation had been as suddenly conceived, as promptly executed ; the name of the large-hearted donor being known only to Him who seeth in secret, and rewardeth openly.' The committee at the same time gratefully acknow ledge the frequent sums in notes, gold, and silver, which are deposited wsekly in the same boxes, and they heartily congratulate the governors and friends of the hospital on its continued success, and on the pros pect of still more enlarged usefulness to the cause of suffering humanity, consequent upon the occupation of the new and commodious wards in the new wing of the hospital. In addition to which, greatly increased ac commodation has, at a large outlay, been afforded to the out-patients. The committee rely upon the voluntary and generous support of the public to enable them, as their almoner;, to administer medical relief to the large number of destitute fellow creatures, who are constantly imploring assistance at the gates of the hoepital." The report was adopted, stud a variety of votes of thanks carried, not forgetting one to Dr. Marsden, the benevolent projector of the institution. Mr. Sleigh said he should not offer any objection to this amount being given to the company ; but he con tended that the sheriffs ought to have the custody of the remainder on behalf of the Crown. Mr. Justice Wiles expressed his opinion that the sheriffs had not made out a case that would justify the Court in making the order they prayed for. They pro fessed to be acting in the interest of the Crown, but the solicitor for the Treasury w as p resen t w h o was the direct partpto interfere. - Sleigh said the sheriffa had no desire to do more than. what they conceived to be their duty in vindicating the rights of the Corporation. After some further discussion, Mr. Reynolds said, under ordinary circumstances the property of a felon was taken possession of by the Crown, but it was never retained when any persons made out a good case for its restoration. In - semerinstances it had been restored to the felon himself for good conduct, and also to his wife ; and the Treasury, in fact, always en deavoured to act according to the equity of each case. "Mr. Baron Martin expressed his opinion that Fanny Kay had an equitable right to the property, according to the request of Agar. Mr. Bodkin said that on the part of the company be had no interest except in that portion of the property which was proved to be the produce of the robbery, but he suggested that if the remainder were to be given to the woman Kay, the interests of the child ought to be taken care of, and that a proper settlement should be male for that purpose. Mr. Sleigh said that if Mr. Reynolds would take charge of the property, and see that it was distributed in the manner that had been suggested, he would at once on the part of the sheriffs withdraw from making any further claim. kr. Reynolds intimated that he was not anxious to undertake the responsibility of distributing the property. Air. Sleigh said that Furely the court would not think it decent, or in accordance with the due administration of justice, that a large sum of money like this should be retained in the hands of a policeman, and that it would be a much more decorous proceeding for the property to be pac ed in the hands of the sheriffs. kr. Bodkin said that he understood that the City actually claimed the money, and if the bonds went into their possession they would set up their rights in this respect, and the greater portion of the property would be wasted in law. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, JAN'. 27. Mr. Sleigh said ho was instructed that no such claim v, Ai intended to be set up, The sheriffs only desired to assert what they conceived to be their rights. 2lr. Baron Martin said the sheriffs appeared to have acted very properly in the matter ; but ho did not think they had made out their right to havo the property placed in their custody. For long chithr, T cloths, and the better class of print ing cloths there is a good demand at fair prices, the firmer tone of the Cotton mar: , et haring iriparred some additional strength in these goods ; but in shirtings and other cloths, suited to the market of India and China, the market is not only depressed, but great irregularity pre vails as to prices. Yarns are much the same as last week, wish a moderate business of a miscellaneous cha racter, adapted to most markets, but without any trans actions of moment for any quarter. The finer qualities are in better demand than others, and being rather scarce are firmer in price. Messrs John Slagg and Co. report:--" As regards India and China goods the market continues in the same dull and inactive condition, and the tendency of prices is slightly in favour of buyers. In nearly every other de partment of the market we have to report a moderate demand, and in consequence of the slight advance in the Liverpool market a somewhat firmer feeling on the part of producers ; hut we cannot quote any actual improve. ment in pricer." Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co. report :—" There has been a quiet market. Present prices evidently prevent transactions of any extent being entered into. Our quo tations are without change, but there is some giving way in prices when transactions take place." The judgment in the case of Mr. Lowe, of Lowe and Lowe, yarn agents, by the Commissioners in Bank ruptcy, has called forth some expressions of sympathy by its severity, on the part of those acquainted with this gentleman's amiable qualities and repute for high cha racter and integrity, the sentence being a suspension for two years of his certificate, which is to be of the thirl class, without protection. Tho object bas been no doubt to strike a blow at the system, too prevalent, of dealing in accommodation hills, by which the commer cial world has suffered so much. Mr. Lowe commenced with a capital of 10,8001. in 1854, owing to him by a person, Walsh, who was at the time insolvent, but which be considered as guaranteed by Wright, a millowner, who succeeded Walsh in business. The balance-sheet showed debts due to creditors, 25,8381. 11s. Sd. ; trade liabilities, 72,7171. ; and for bills and guarantees to Wright, 42,5481. 13s. 4d. ; total, 140,6041. 4s.

The commissioner looked upon these transactions as having brought Mr. Lowe within the penal clauses of the Bank ruptcy + Act the 9th clause of the 256th section, f or •con cealing the truo state of his affairs.

The oper a ti ves i n t °ranch are well employed at tolerable wages. Some further discussion then took place, and even tually the judges made an order that the company should have restored to them so much of the property as was shown to be the result of the robbery, and that the re mainder should be given into the custody of Sir Richard Mayne, the chief commissioner of police, to abide any future orders that may be given respecting it. FALL OP A RAILwAYTEIDGE.—The traffic of the line of railway between Coventry and Nuneaton (a branch of the London and North-Western) was yesterday morning about 9 o'clock for a time completely stopped by the falling in of a viaduct at Cowden, a short dis tance from Coventry. The line from the latter city communicates direct from Leamington with Tamworth, Derby, and the north. The bridge, which is of several arches, is of stone, and carries over the rails a very im portant old turnpike road of the district ; but fortunately at the time the accident occurred, owing to the absence of traffic, not the slightest injury befel either the road or railway travellers. A train had passed under the bridge only a short time before, but, beside the damage sustained by the railway company and the detention en a g s in p e o e s r s s ib o le f of trains, no injury was sustained by any individuals. Passengers to the North from Coventry were conveyed beyond the dilapidated bridge by omnibuses, and consi derable personal inconveniences were the only unplea santt cleared heonL t of e don and North-Western Company were speedily o h n. e p n t, results and the line complained was a o s f . speedily The the debris.

Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, a deputation from a society esta blished in the city fur promoting the interests of the trad ing community, headed by, their chairman, Mr. Stratton, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Excheqner at his official residence in Downing-street on the subject of the income tax. Among the gentlemen composing the deputa tion were—Mr. Witcher, Dr. Chalice, Mr. Cornwall, Mr. Mitchell, Mr.„,Lawrence, Mr. Doutswill, Mr. Gannon, Mr. Nett, Mr. Stocker, Mr. Shalton, Mr. Underwood, and Mr. Hayman, the secretary of the society. They had, in presenting themselves before the Chancellor of the Exche quer, a different object in view from that sought by the previous deputation, who had an interview with the right hon. gentleman on Friday last. The society of which they are members is at present directing its efforts to the en tire removal of the income tax on all incomes, from what ever source derived, not exceeding 1501. a year, and also to the exemption of the first 1501. on higher assessments. The object of the deputation on Friday, it will be remem bered, was to procure the remission of the war 9d. from and after the sth of April next, and a more equitable ad justment of the remaining part of the tax affecting incomes derived from trades and professions. Mr. STRATTON, addressing the Chancellor, said the usociety represented by the deputatioa was composed for the most part of tradesmen who, feeling more or less severely 'Ate pressure of the income tax as at present imposed, had itivited general at-operation for the purpose of procuring some readjustment of it. With Ws view they had pro cured a large number of signatures in the metropolis and from all parts of the country to peti.ions to the Legislature on the subject—their object being to influence the Govern ment to relieve a large class of industrious persons in the community altogether from the operation of the tax. He referred to the smaller class of shopkeepers, who had to struggle against great competition for a livelihood, and who, being already subject to heave local taxation, felt the pressure of the income tax most oppressive. The object of the deputation was to suggest, as an act of forbearance to wards the struggling class, the entire removal of the tax on incomes which did not exceed 1501., and the exemption of the first 1501. of higher incomes, so that if a man was in the receipt of 5001. a year he should only be chargeable on 350/. The Cil AICCELLO a of the Exca EQUER asked Mr. Stratton to have the kindness to state exactly what class it was they represented ? Mr. STRATTON replied small shopkeepers mostly, a most industrious class of persons; clerks, the higher order of working men, and, indeed, all persons of moderate income now chargeable to the tax. His business as a manufacturer brought him very largely into epntact with the retail grocers, a very largo and laborious class, who paid large sums to the revenue in the lump on the articles in which they dealt, and which. they received back in instalments from their customers, and who had to' pay income tax, uotwithstanding the bard struggle they had to wage for a livelihood. He submitted that they especially had a claim for !diet from the impost, as being themselves large col lectors of revenue, in cases where their income did not ex ceed ROL Dr. CHALICE remindedthe Chancellor that when persons with incomes of 150/. a year were brought within the range of the tax, it was thought, from the extreme cheapness of provisions they would not seriously feel its operation. But no►w one cause of its growing unpopularity was that many were called on to pay a sum of money in the lump, in the shape of income tax, who ware really straitened in procuring the common necessaries of life He himself knew many persons who two or three years ago contributed to th.lincarna tax, but who had fallen into povetty, while some Irtd been driven to seek parochial relief. Those ware oeople who had, .among others, been taught to look for ward to the benefits they would derive from direct taxa tion. The deputation claimed, therefore, thtut in any re- Ldjustment of the tax, towards which they thought the right hon. gentleman seemed disposed from the answer ho gave to a similar doputation ou Friday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (interrupting.)—l said nothing on that occasion about my making any re-ad justment ; I said I was quite ready to entertain any de- tailed proposition of that kind that might be made to me. Dr. CHALICID said, at all events he thought ho saw a glimmer of hope of a re-adjustment in what the right hon. gentleman said at that previous interview. The tax was acting most injuriously on the community at large for the interests of the country, and there was a general feeling of dissatisfaction growing up against it. He would not have c - nno there that day except for a recent public meeting in B.)uthwark, iu which he took part, and at which resolu- tions in accordance with his own views on the subject had been unanimously passed. As regarded the pressure of the tax on persons with an income of 150/., when they looked at the high price of provisions, clothing, and house rent, and at the increase of the poor rates, the impost had be gun to touch a class on whom the Legislature never in tended it should operate, because it was supposed that ihose in the receipt of 150/. a year would be abcive the reach of privation. He knew persons of that class had been obliged in consequence of being called to pay income tax to their children from school. Then, again, clothing was by the middle and labou►irg clask:a on the every-day no-. ceesaries of life averaged from 3 i to 40 per cent., and on some articles it was as much as 100 per cent. He was certain, if it were the rule, instead of the present mode of indirect taxation, to send collectors round and make monthly or quarterly demands for a specified sum of mo ney for tea tax, and so on, the people 'would never for a the same might be moment tolerate such imposts. In his own case, as a small tradesman of 31 years' standing—and said of thousand s o f o th ers - i f he took t h e average of as sessments to the - I°o4l tax es ma d e u p r i n him duiing that period a t 161. a - year i t amounted to 49(1/ ; if direct taxa tion paid up on .th e i n di spensable necessar i es o f lif e b e ad' tied, 201. a-year, that would make 6201., making a total of 1,1161. Could it be wondered at that with the compe tition of the day, and such sums abstracted from men like himself, that our workhouses, prisons, and lunatic asylums had so many inmates, who were respectable, industrious trades persons at one period ? The collecting income tax from men situate like himself, and the extent to which the industrious poor were subject to indirect taxation of the common necessaries of life, were producing a serious amount of dissatisfaction on the minds of the people, which ha was convinced would sooner or later be exhibited in some striking manner. Tho CH ti of the EXCLIEQuEn—With regard to the question of the pressure of the poor-rates in parishes whore there is a large population, that is a necessary con sequence of the present parochial system. It is true that in St. George's, which is a rich parish, the poor-rates are cinsiderably lower' than in St. Clements' Danes, in which Mr: Gannon lives ; but many people think it is essential to the present system of poor laws that the taxation should continue parochial. Proposals have been made —parti cularly with regard to towns—to oatend the area of tax ation, but all such prop osa l s have.roet with - groat oppo sition. Each pariah holds to its own separateness and to its exclusive right to manage its own affairs; and every other pl in has encountered many difficnities. As to taxa tion on tea and sugar, as well as income taxation, the taxa t on of the country must either be direct or indirect. You must either go on income or you must go on articles of general consumption,—such as tea, sugar, beer, spirits, and the like,—or must resort to both those means of taxa- tion, as now arranged; but at present it does not fall on the principal articles of consumption. ,There is no tax on bread or biscuit ; on meat, dry or salt; fish, dry or salt; native fruit, or vegetables. These are staple articles of food; and if a man could confine his means of subsistence to them he neel not necessarily pay any taxes. But if Mr. Gannon's views were adopted I fear the unavoidable con- sequence would be, not that the income tax would be lightened, but that it would be necessarily aggravated. Mr. WiLO4ER and another menahsr of tho deputation also briefly addressed the Chancellor. Mr. HARMAN called his attention to a case of great cruelty in-connection with the income tax towards ohe Edward Walker, 1, Mary-street, Bromley, who accompa nied the deputation. Mr. Walker stated that he had a wife and font' young childred (the eldest 12 years of age); that he kept a small' chandler's shop, his returns not exceeding. X. 10s. per week, the profits upon which were never more than 10s. ; that the value of his stock was under 205.; and that ho had no other means whatever for the support of his family, save by casual employment in the docks: On a re. cent occasion he waited for 21 consecutive days, from 7 in the morning till near mid-day, without getting one hour's work, and on the 22d day was employed five hours, at 4i. per hOur. He solemnly declared that the entire profiis of his shop had not been more than 261., nor his other earnings more than about 101., making in the gross a sum not exceed- ing from 361. to 40/, per annum during the whole of the ilst and present year, and yet he had been charged income tax on 1001. per annum. He had made these circumstances fully and repeatedly known, both to the local commissioners and the Board of Inland Revenue, and he had, neverthe- less, been adjudged unworthy of relief, and ordered to pay the amount-4d. 15s. 10d. Mr. Walker added he was in hourly expectation of having his goods seized and his fa- miiy turned into the streets, being entirely destitute of the means of paying any portion of the tax. The CHANCELLOR said he knew nothing of tho case of Mr. Walker beyond what had been related to him ; but he would cause inquiry to be made into it. That was all he . could do at present. The deputation then retired. MR. ROEBUCK AT THE SHEFFIELD SCHOOL OF ARTS. The now school in Arundel-street, Sheffield, was inau gurated on Monday evening by a conversaiione, at which one of the most brilliant assemblages was present ever witnessed in Sheffield. The different rooms of the build ing were dee ;rated cri,h pa'ntings, statues, and photo. grap's, kindly lent for the occasion by gentlemen resid ing in the ntighbourhood. Amongst those present were J. A. Roebuck, Esq., M.P., the Mayor, the Master Cutler, and the Rev. Canon Sale, D.D. The ladies were in,full dress. Precisely at half-past eight Mr. Roebuck entered the elementary school, where the great bulk of those assembled had congregated for the purpose of hearing an address from him. He was greeted with warm applause. Mr. ROEBUCK said—Ladies and gentlemen, we are met here to celebrate, I think, a great event in the history of Sheffield; for I believe we have met here to celebrate the erection of this building, which, in my opinion, marks the transition we are about to make in placing the every-day avocations of life within the sphere of art. By so doing we not only elevate the common transaction's of life, but we add very much to our happiness thereby. It seems to me that in the mere making of one's livelihood there is something usually attendant that is not favourable to the elevation of our thoughts and feelings. But if we can make that which is the daily habitude of our days and our existence• the means of raising our feelings and thoughts, and creating in us something that elevates our feelings as men, we do much not merely to exalt our nature but to increase our own happiness. And believe me when I tell you that there is something in all that appertains to art of such a perennial and overflowing nature that it nicer palls upon the senses—never in any way diminishes in its power of exalting and bless,ing hu inanity ; and, therefore, if we make it the daily avocation of our lives we do much to exalt the nature of man and increase our own welfare. This may.appear to you a somewhat fine-drawn and sentimental view of things ; but I speak to you as a practical man—one whose whole existence has been passed in the turmoil and amidst the boiling, upstirring springs of life. My life has been that of one who has had to combat with his fellow-men ; and I have found that that which has brought solace to my life has been art. (A.ppl ause. ) F or though I am a humble pupil of art, still lam an adoring pupil. I love her for her goodness to me.' I love her for her elevating influence upon the human race to which I belong. (Ap plause.) My life—a n d I speak from my own experience overcome th great If to those whose lots ar e cast i n a different sphere —my life business has h o e f e n , ya Life has told been yo to u, to combat ; and opposition. rn that I had been left alone—deserted as it were— allowed to support myself by my own individeal energy —I should have had nothing to support and solace me. But because it was my fate to have good instructors, those whom I love and reverence, and whose re collection I shall ever cherish, they raised in me the feeling that art was to - me that which would reader life cheerful and happy ; and because they have thus taught me I have passed away and forgotten the turmoil of life in that which has been to me the solace of life. I would tray, also, that this building exhibits to us that we are about approaching a new era in the town of Sheffield—for this building has been raised mainly by the exertions of the manufacturing classes of this town. Sorry am Ito say that there has not been that assistance given to the erection of this great build- ing by the working classes which I had hoped and ex pected ; but my expectations were based upon reasons which my experience ought to have told me were baseless and unfounded. The working classes have been told that the manufacturing class—and by that I mean the master manufacturers—have an interest hostile to their and the consequence has been that when they have come to them they have been looked upon with suspicion and jealousy. The answer made by this building is complete.. (Hear, hear.) What does this building show i It shows that there is foresight and generosity in the employers of labour. They have not come here for their own per sonal profit ; but they have said to themselves—and I congratulate them upon having made this discovery— that by elevating those they employ, they elevate them selves and the country to which they belong. (Cheers.) And let me say we are deeply indebted to , the ladies of this town. (Applause.) Not to my surprise has been their conduct, for invariably have I found' that, in the good race of humanity, intelligence, and kindness, my fellow-countrywomen have ever been foremost. (Ap plause.) No man more than myself bas reason to speak well of the sex. As the mother, as the wife, and as the daughter I have known them ; and in all their conditions of my life. They have shown themselves foremost in raising this great building. They have shown themselves ready to aid and assist all that their husbands, brothers, and fathers designed, and they have been most effective in their aid; and in the name of this association I take leave to thank them • most heartily for their assistance. (Cheers. It is usually supposed that this building is in tended simply to advance what is called the manufactur ing industry of Sheffield. Now, I take leave to. differ from that opinion. I believe that the object of this institution is to raise and exalt the whole population. (Cheers.) And by en doing, as a consequence derivable fromihat, I be lieve this i o stitutionwill benefit the manufaCtueing indtistry of Sheffield. How will it do this ? By improving the taete at all. Woederful as your feats have been, great as I believe your power im, there is something about the productions of English manufacture which is want. log. What is that something ? It is that ennobling in fluence of which I have spoken—namely, the influence of art, I belire lam touching upon a matter some .. whet unpopular ; but you know it is not ray habit to conciliate popularity. (Cheers and laughter.) The truth, however unpalatable it may be, somehow or other hap pens ever to find in myself a very unworthy, but a hearty expositor. Now, I believe that all that all that has distinguished Sheffield has been great energy, great power, and application of will to the subduing of na ture. You have sent your goods over the whole face of the globe, and I believe that some discoveries lately made in the very centre of Asia have brought to light works in iron with the name of Sheffield thereon written. But in spite of that there has alveays been something that has operated as a drawback. What is that some thing ? It is this—that you have consulted anything but nature. You have consulted anythi'ig. but the principles which ought to dictate to those working in that art. Ido not care what may be its applicationa whether to the erection of this building, or to the work ing of a tea-pot, or to a cream-jog—there is the -saute principle at the bottom. That principle you canner, learn or discover without thought or careful considera tion. Teat principle you can learn here; 'and among the gentlemen who conduct the labours of this school I am sure you will find apt leaders, leading you on and guiding yen to this principle, which is requisite for tho,o who work in this matter, I do not care what it is, of art. by which you are to •btain the suffrages of mankind. 'I believe that the gentlemen who conduct this school have in themselves some knowledge—great knowledge of this principle. I will not now—far be it from me so to do—enter into any metaphysical discussion with them or anybody, but I believe there is at the bottom the well-spring by which all that is great in art is supiilied. This principle they know ; this principle they will impart to the labouring population of this town, if that labouring population will come and receive it. Ladies and gentlemen, I will not detain you further. lam certainly nOt.much given to dissertations of this-. sort.-. As-I told yonaat the commencement, my life has been an antagonism, and if there had been an enemy before me kshould have been much more ready— , (beer, and laughter)—in dealing with him than lam in being an expositor of the principles I have endeavoured to set before-you. (Loud applause.) Mr. Roebuok then resumed his seat, but rose again in a few moments and said—l am about to call upon Mr. Cole, who tells me he is about to act an unpopular part, because he appears as a supporter, or at least as a representative of the Go vernment. But we are all very loyal people hers, and I beg to assure him that, as far as I am concerned, he is not unpopular, because he comes to do a good' thing. Mr. COLE, of the Government Department of Science and Art, testified to the pleasure be felt at seeing so noble au institution arise as that in which he then spoke, and towards which not a shilling of public money had been devoted. He sail that it was necessary for the town to raise a further sum of 2,0001. in order to free the insti tution from debt. If they did not do that it would stand in debt and difficulty, and hereafter, in al! probability, impose upon their representative the necessity of going to beg for it (not that Mr. Roebuck was at all likely to go and beg for it: he would rather bully)—(laughter)— of going to the Board of Trade and saying to the Been' of Trade, "The people of Sheffield have exhausted them selves of all their energies, for God's sake cultic laud help them ;" and he did not know whether the hon. gentle man would not propose in Parliament a grant of 2,0001. in aid of the school. Ho trusted, however, that they would themselves raise the money, and not place either of their members in that situation. He mentioned with much satisfaction the high position which the pop-is of the Sheffield School of Art attained in the late competition for prize medals, and added that be re gretted -that he could not now produce those medals for distribution ; for it did so happen that an accident bed occurred last week which prevented this, the die of the reverse of the medal having broken in the operation of striking. Mr. RoEnticz again rose and said—Ladies and gentle men, before I proceed to perform the rest of soy duties this evening, I beg to assure my hon. friend that in roe he will find not at all a person who is likely to bully him, and certainly not a person who is likely to implore him to do anything. (Hear, hear.) I believe that the people of Sheffield are able to do for theins-Ives what their own interest requires. If their o n interest points out to them—and when I use the words their interests, I mean an enlightened interest—the necessity fey this building, they will assuredly not fail to supply means for complet ing the undertaking. My hon. friend hss said that you have received no aid irons Government. The only thine , which Government had to do was to provide the medals' —and that has not been done. (Loud laughter from all parts of the room ) Now, I must.sßy that that has not surprised me. (Continued laughter.) I know some thing of Government, and I sin not surprised at any failure. (Applause and laughter ) Mr. Roebuck, aided by Mr. Young Mitchell, then proceeded to distribute some of the prizes, and to an nounce the remainder with the names of their recipients. This part of the proceedings appeared to excite interest, which was attributable in no small degree to the manner in which the hon. member for Sheffield discharged the duty assigned to him. Dr. Bilibrsorr proposed, and the aLtron seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Roebuck for the part he had taken in the proceedings of the evening. This was carried by acclamation, and acknowledged by the hon. gentleman in a very few remarks, in which lie emphatically stated the pleasure which he bad derived front what he had witnessed in connection with the occasion. Some time subsequently elapsed before the company departed from a seene which had evidently affjrded the greatest satisfaction tc, those who had the privilege of witnessing it and taking part iu the proceedings of the occasion. very high in price. The CHANCELLOR—Is that BO ? Dr. CHALICE said it was. Calico and many other mate. rials of clothing had greatly increased in price since tho area of the tax had been extended. The CIIA.NCIELLOB —You speak of the sense of injustice pressing on the minds of the poorer class of persons on whom this tax fall 4. Will you explain that injustice ?Is it in the assessment being unfair ? Is it in the unpleasant rate of the income tax ! Or is it in the fact of persons of small income being subject to the tax at all ? Dr. CHALICH said he had not the slightestdoubt that the war 9d. had made many people cry out against what they had previously borne patiently, though they even from the irst conceived it to be a hardship ; and the mode of assess ment was also felt to be objectionable. There was a large number of bachelors,, many of them living principally at clubs, with incomes bringing them within the range of the tax, but who nevertheless manEged to evade payment of it, ; while there WM a numerous class of persons, mostly with•families dependent ou them —men employed in facto ries, dockyards, Government and merchants' offices, and the like—in the receipt of salaries rendering them just liable to the tax, but who had not such facilities for escaping its payment even if they were disposed to do so- When he used the word "injustice,' he thought he was justified in doing so, because men of that class felt it to be such in having to pay so large a sum out of their own earn ings at a time when they were deprived of the necessaries of life. The CHANCELLOE—I am afraid a bachelor tax might operate as a constant incentive to imprudent marriages. (& laugh.) I think your explanation leads to the inference that it is principally in the large rate of the income tax that its present injustice is found to arise. Dr. CHALICE had no doubt that that stimulated the existing feeling with which it was regarded 1. but he thought, with the present prices of provisions and cloth- ing, it was hard that people with only 150/.a-year should be called to pay the tax. The CHANCELLOR—Can you show that the Logislatur3 takes any means of fixing prices artificially beyond the necessities of taxation ? Dr. CHALICE was not prepared to say that. He could only say that when incomes of 190/. were. brought within the tax, that was a time when the reoeipt of such a sum implied the enjoyment of some few lunxries; but it wail not so now. The CHANCELLOR—Whatever may be the present amoun t of prices it is not in any way owing to legislation. With regard to the assessment on persons of less affinence—say some classes of shopkeepers—are there not many eases in which no regular account of receipts and, disbursements is kept? Dr. CHALICE believed that was so, especially with small shopkeepers in London. The CHANCELLOR—WeII, in that case how is the assess ment, made Is it not made generally on a principle of indulger. de ? Dr, CHALICE said he believed it was so in. London, but in the country it was quite the reverse. He knew many a p e t r t s n e a s a w m h eo timep ai o extreme cases of h ar d s hip connec t e d with the collection of d f i o n r c hmeentoanx- p a a n y d m w e o t ohfapd beepoor r r n a sumtes.mx Many the income tax had been brought under the notice of the society he now represented. Without presuming to ask the right hon. gentleman to state what the views of the Government might be on the questions which had that day been brought under his attention, not he was sure for the first time, he (Dr. Chalice) would only now venture to hope that the right hon. gentleman might be induced to apply his mind to their re-consideration. Mr. GANNON said he had carried on business as a shop keeper for 31. years in the neighbourhood of Clare Market, and it was with pain that he had seen how rarely indeed any of his poor brother tradesmen engaged in vending the rneetcierses,aarfietesroyf elailres o d r uri n g industrytha , t witherp i a o n d y thhaitni likegbe e n a a p b r l e o to vi siolmnhref.ouor AloiNlAd:acogNzet: said d li asked he did if n M t r but Gannon te t h e oppressive p attributed p res sv that d to the income tax unequal operation of the local taxes, amon g a t and also of indirect taxat. otherail grocer,caeustehs and he could state from ion his ex w perience, to prov e shifts to -which m an y o f the industrious poor in his neighbourhood were driven, that he had often to servo upwards of 60 of them, who came to buy small quantities of tea, before he sold a pound of that article. These had all to contribute their share of-the indirect taxation. He could conscientiously say that the indirect taxation paid Naval and Mihaly intelligeme. Directions have been received at Chatham by Captain Allan, in charge of the stores which were breught home from Kertch by the Turkish Engineer Corps, and depe sited on the gun wharf, to deliver the entire stores, with the exception of the large pontoons, to the Royal En gineer-, with the view of their being placed in the stores belonging to that corps. Since the articles have been landed at Chatham they have been under the sole elierze of Captain Allen, and have been empleled daily in examining and cleaning the various stores, to prevent any serious effects result ing from their exposure to the weather. Immediately on the arrival of the order at Chatham for the removal of the stores to the Royal Engineer;;' Barracks preparations were made for their delivery to the officers appointed to receive them, and they are now in course of being re. moved to the south gun-shed at Bronipton Barracks, where they aro to be deposited. On opening the casks and boxes in which the harness, tools, and other articles were deposited in the summer, it was found that they had not suffered in any degree from the effects et their long exposure in their partially unprotected state, care having been taken to oil and cleanse from damp every articm separately before it was deposited in the place assigned to it. The pontoons will remain on the gun-wharf, ow ing to there being no place large enough to receive them. The Duke of Cambridge having consented that a num ber of the invalid soldiers at the Military Hospital, Chatham, should be sent to Bath for the purposes of undergoing a course of medical treatment in that city, arrangements have been made for stationing invalid troops in that neighbourhood. A par - y of invalids se hcted from the 32d, 37th, 45th, 61st, 833, and 84th Re giments left Chatham yesterday for Bath in charge of Assistant-Surgeon Cyrus Daniell and a wardmaster of the Medical Staff Corps. As soon as they have suffi ciently recovered they will return to Chatham, when another party of invalids will be forwarded to that city. The following officers have joined their respective re giments at Chatham, for the purpose of taking the com mand of their depots at the Provisional Battalion, viz, Captain J. V. H. Montagu, 10th Regiment, and Captain F. Rhodes, 27th Enniskillens. The Star, 8, Commander A. Boyle (1355), was paid off at Chathem yesterday afternoon, after being in commis sion four years, during which time she bas been twice to the south-east coast of America and the Falkland Islands and back, besides being stationed for a considerable period in the Rio de la Plata, where she did duty as the senior officer's ship. During the time she has been in commission the crew have been very healthy, and but few deaths occurred on board. Two men were acciden tally drowned, and one of the crew was killed by falling from aloft. The Star will be placed in ordinary at Chat ham, and, as she is a very old ship, it is not expected that she will be again commissioned. The Resolute, Arctic vessel, has been entirely stripped at Chatham, and her rigging removed. She is moored off the dockyard, in charge of the warrant officers, and as soon as a place has been assigned her she will be attached to the fleet of vessels lying in ordinary. The Poictiers, 74, at Chatham, has been towed down to the dockyard, for the purpose of being taken into No. 4 dock, where the shipwrights will this day commence breaking her up. This vessel was guardship of the or dinary at Chatham for several years, but is now too old for further service. Mr. C. T. A. Noddall has been appointed master to the Victory, flagship at Portsmouth. The Salamander, 6, paddlewheel steamsloop, Coin. G. T. Mecham, now in the fitting basin at Sheerness for re pairs, will not be ready for sea until the let March next. Most of her defects are topside damages, received friar& stress of weather while in search of the missing ships which beionged to Dundee. An Admiralty order has arrived at Sheerness to receive the Pembroke, 60-gun screw steamship (for coastguard service at Leith) for the purpose of her being examined, she having been on shore on her passage round from Devonport to Leith. A court martial is ordered on board the flag-lip Waterloo, 120, Capt. Lord F. Kerr, to try Capt. J. Fraser, and the officer of the watch at the time the ship took the ground. REWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICES. The Board of Admiralty, in consideration/of the meritorious services frequently rendered by lieute nants employed as Admiralty agents on board contract sLeam vessels, have determined to award an annual promotion to the rank of Commander on Reserved ball-pay if any lieutenant should be recommended by the officer conducting the packet service at Southampton on the ground of general good or special service. -~/~ ( ~f ~; . j ~ ,~ v .p` - i'-i-e j 4
