This Company is pstablisbed with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement f or a t erm o f years h as b een entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of larwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must becomb the direct route of postal communication.

STAMPED SD• LONDON 3 FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY la, 1857. ANTI-INCOME TAX MEETIAG IN MARYLEBONE. Last evening's public meeting of the inhabitants and resident electors of Middlesex was held in the theatre of the Literary Institution, Edward-street, Portman-square, " to take into consideration the measures to be adopted in consequence of the continued silence of the Government on the repeal of the war income tax -of ninopence in the pound." Mr. Jacob Bell was at 8 o'clock called to the chair, and the spacious theatre of the institution was densely crowded. , On the platform were Sir J. Duke, M.P., Mr. Jas.. Bel l, I M.P., Mess? s. Nicho]ay, D'lffeuger, C. Lewis, Poland, Travener, Clement, Gauge, Major Lyon, Hodges, Dr. Gray, &c. While the Chairman was opening the business of the meeting, Sir B. Hall, M.P., made hif appearance upon the platform, and was received with three rounds of cheering. The CHAIRMAN said the Government had been so silent upon what their intentions were with reference to this most obnoxious income-tax, that there had been an agitation on the subject from one and of the kingdom to the other. (Hear, hear.) Not one word upon the subject had ap peared in the. Queen's Speech. He was quite certain that had the Chancellor of the Exchequer only given her Ma jesty a little hint nothing would more have delighted her Majesty than to have been the medium of announcing to her people the removal of-this impost. It ha-1, however, crept out that there was such a large Jeduction in the army and navy estimates that there was a probability that the war Pd. would come off; at •the same time the people must continue alive to their own interests. (Applause.) Mr. C. Lewis moved the first resolution to the effect, " That the recant announcement of a very large.reauc. Lion in the army and navy estimates, while it affor Is grounds for anticipating the immediate repeal of the war income tax, does not remove the necessity for vigilanceand activity on the part of the public, as there is every reason to bAieve that a considerable proportion of the proposed reduction has been the • iesult of the strong expression of public feelidg." Mr. Lewis expressed his delight that there was a prospect of the Government conceding to public opinion, and he hoped that tomorrow night they would hear the honest .expression of•the views of the Government that this abo• minable and inquisitorial tax, or at least the wt.r part of it. should at once cease. (Applause.) Major LYON, in seconding the resolution, referred to a letter which had been received from Lord It, Grosvenor, stating that he was presiding over a meeting called for a similar object that evening in another part of the county, hut the other member, who misrepresented Middlesex— (hear, bear)—had not deigned even to answer their letter of invitation. Although he demanded a repeal of the in come tax—the war tax at once, and the other afterwards — he was in favour of direct taxation. (Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL, M.P., in obedience to the call upon him, and amid loud applause and some interruption, addressed the meeting. Before entering into the general subject he would simply remark that, as that was a meeting of the inhabitants and electors of the county of Middlesex, be dial not think it was proper to enter into subjects only of interest to his constituents. (Hear.) In reference to any attacks which had been made upon him he should have an opportunity of meeting them in a proper time and place. (Hear.) There was no one more anxious than he was to maintain the right of the people to meet and publicly ex press their opinions upon public men (hear), but he should permit no man to find fault with him in his absence un justly. (Hear.) A public man hal a right to submit to have his public conduct canvassed ; but there were two ways of doing so. Let it be done in fairness, Christian feeling, justice, and generosity, and not with injustice and with spleen. (Applause.) As to the matter upon which they had assembled this meeting he (Sir B. Hall) would remark that, whether as a member of the Government or a representative of the people, lie had always felt it his duty to censure theta when wrong . anil support the m w h en right. (Hear.) The bill referred teethe continued silence of thekloverinent. Now, Parliament only met on the 3d of February, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had promised to make his statement at the earliest possible period. Mondays and Fridays were the only two Govern ment days in each week. In accordance, therefore, With the forms of the house it was impossible the Chancellor of the Exchequer could have brought forward his financial statement before Friday, the 13th, when that statement would be made. He would not point out the fact that a great misteke had been made in relation to the Govern ment and this war tax. He thought it only fair, although he considered these public meetings most salutary, to give every one his due. (Hear, hear.) Now, in order to show the anxiety of the Government to make these reductions in the war tax, so far back as November last the Government desired all the various heads of departments to frame their estimates for the current year 1857-53 with the greatest possible economy as early as the 7th of January. This was done in order that they might be enabled to reduce, if pos sible, the income tax, so anxious were the Government upon this subject. The deputation, headed by his friend Major Reed, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 23d of January, and when he (Sir B. Hall) read the observations made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to that deputation— that the Government had no idea of taking advantage of the wording of the act of Parliament— he (Sir B. Hall felt quite assured that the war tax of 93. was to come off. (Loud _applause.) Major Reed himself expressed his satisfaction that this statement was calcu lated to allay the apprehension's of the public. (Hear.) He (Sir B. Hall) bad seldom differed with his constituents during the whole 20 years he had represented them, and he did not see that he differed with that, meeting in any particular. His opinion was that this war tax was imposed for a special object, and, that special object baying been satisfied, that they ought not, and he believed there was not any intention on the part of the Government to con tinue it. (Cheers.) With regard to the remainder of the tax, there was no doubt it was most inconvenient and op pressive, and that there was great inequalities ,in it, but let them have some proper scheme drawn to remedy the evil. They might depend upon it that they could not re peal the income tax entirely without doing an injustice to the poorer classes of society. After complimenting the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon his truthfulness, and expressing his confidence that he was not the man to mis lead the public, the hon, baronet resumed his seat amid applause. Major REED, M.P., observed that the right hon. gentle man the Vice-President of the Board of Education had, like the right hon. member for Marylebone, endeavoured to make it appear that the Government contemplated the re moval of the war tax, and took credit to them for it. (Hear, hear.) Now his belief was that the Government would never have taken one farthing of that tax off but for the agitation throrghout the country. (Applause.) The resolution was carried unanimously, amid loud ap plause.) ?!r.TATENER, moved the second resolution : "That a committee be appointed to co-operate with the Property and Income-tax Association until the war 93. shall have been repealed, and a more equitable adjustment effected in the remaining portion of the Property and In come tax." Mr. GEESIN, Of St. James's, seconded the resolution, and it was also carried unanimously. Sir It HALL then moved, amid grant applause, and, Major REED, M.P., seconded, a vote of thanks to the chair man, which was carried by acclamation, and Mr. JACOB BELL having responded, the proceedings terminated. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. ' Clay's bill should it be brought into Parliament, and on the subject of opening places of public amusement on a Sunday, he pointed out,. the evils resultiug from the ab sence of proper places of resort for the peer on the Sab bath, and expressed himself in &vow' of their having ac cess to parks, but for no money to be taken. Finally Mr. Clive referred to the Maynooth grant, and, after sketching its origin and histbry, - annonnced his determination -to eerie :port it as an arrangement which must be maintained, con teleding that it is far, better to have an educated than an -uneducated priesthood; and far better that that priesthood should be educated in Ireland than abroad. (Applause.) Mr. KEVILL•DAVIES then addrefised the meeting. - He came before them unfettered to any particularline of policy, but independently as a coun t ry. gentleman residing among them, one having a stake in the county, and note stranger, but whose interests were mixed-up with them in every pas : : Bible way. Having alluded in terms of regret to the retire ment of Mr. Evans (the Conservative candidate who had canvassed the town, but bad withdrawn from the contest by medical advics), and to the retirement of Sir It. Price, and the precipit ancy w ith w h ich the su b seque nt -proceed ings had bee n t a k en, h e repudiated an asser ti on that he was a Derbyite and a supporter of the tax upon bread, and said he had no desire to see a duty upon corn. He was; not a Proteutionist, for that subject was dead. Speaking of the income tax, he E aid he was decidedly an advocate for the immediate repeal of the war 91., and forabolishing the remaining 7d. in E6O. He, found fault with the manner in which trades and professions are taxed equally with property and positive .incomes, and if elected he would advocate that a great portidn, if not the whole, should' be taken off the t ra di ng and professional communities, and the same equally imposed .upon all certain incomes. As to the ballot, he was himself in favour of its being tried, but on a matter of such vital impo r t a nce to the ouvitry, connected so intim a t e l y w i t h th e best interests` cif" the country and with the returning of members to Paidiameni, he would not, before such a meeting as the present, pledge himself to say *hat measure he would support. With re spect to the Maynooth grant, he thought it was e'reabject tePon which the voters of every constitpency had a right to expect their representative to act acemeling to-the 'bait of the majority of his constituency. If that were the only ground he should be prepared to vote against the grant, because-thelquestion of the internal tenets of religions faith of the whole constitution were involved. Connected with that was another subject which might come before Parlia ment, and one of equal importance—the Government in spection of nunneries. He should vote most decided& for all nunneries in England and Great Britain being inspected by Government. The subject of education, affected the religious liberty of the country, and was Oiled the greatest possible importance. In it Dissentfra a's %MI as Church people were equally concerned, and be would advocate any measure for a general plan of education throughout Eng land, for the benefit of Churchmen and Dissenters alike, without any relation to religious opinions. (Ch eers .) A VOICE—What about the Church rates? Considerable uproar ensued, and a hundred voices took up the cry " What' about the Church rates?" "Don't t ri es ea a r it ) ogether; but, if a r ( e for d o i ng away w ith I will not say shirk Mr. t p h A e v er E e s s_tio i n a l m " ` p ' e S v p fe e c ak tly ou ve t a l" dy &e.. to give you an answer I n e p t on the nf t e . t s hl u e b w j eo e bu c o t l i o ts f i lo C up h p oo n fr r c t l al Churchirates.neaau v ed, d that part of Church rates which is placed upon Dissenters Who do not belong to the Church of England altogether, providing some other substitute were made for keeping the walls of the Church of England together, so that they may not fall to the ground. The MAYOR inquired whether anybody else had a candi date to propose? As there was no reply he proceeded to take a show of hands, submitting the names of the candidates in the order they were proposed. The MAYOR declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Clive. The Conservatives dissented, and denounced the decision as unfair, and a scene of disturbance followed, which lasted for some time. As the Mayor did not accede to the request that another show might he taken or a divi sion made r a poll was demanded for Mr. Davies, and the proceedings terminated. LEICESTERSHIRE (NORTH). Mr. Fromm has resigned the contest for North Leices tershire. The constituency comprises in all about 3,600 ; of these 1,756 signed the requisition to Lord John Mau 'Dors. Tiro canvass returns show a majority of at least 10 to lin favour-ofLord John. In one district, where it was supposed that Mr..Frawen had strong interest, the returns were 319 for Lord'John, 14 for Frewen, 30 neater, and 5 deal. In the Melton district, which comprises more than half of the whole voters, the electors were almost to a man in favour of Lord John. Mr. Frawen had secured as his agents the chief electioneering agents.of,the Tory and Ra dical parties, and the cry of "No Popery !" was raised in every village. During the past week he has posted and circulated upwards of 20,000 handbills, and enlisted in his favour all who would recall the grant to Maynooth, whether Dissenters or Churchmen ; but it was utterly impossible to make heal against the Rutland interest, and his agents gave up the contest. It is believed that in the whole county they had not secured 200 votes. join them in the speculation. An arrangement was to be entered into, a draft of whi c h was redUced into writing. It was their entertainment. They had been partners, and there was no question that they were .partners in the en tertainment in question. I arranged to join them, which arrangement they afterwards repudiated. The terms were agreed upon between us, and afterwards they renSed to complete it. I mean by thorn, Miss Stanley and. Mr. Hughes. The arrangement W2B discussed when Miss Stan ley, her mother, Mr. Hughes, and myself 'were present: By agreement I and Mr. Hughes *ere to eltPloY:Misa Stanley and pay her her salary out of the profit , . Mr. Hughes said thathe could not appear as tanneger of the entertainment, in cons6guonce of a char,go which had been trumped up against him. He did not tell me that he had boon convicted at the Old Bailey. Ho said that ho had been acquitted. There was also a difficulty in putting Miss Stanley's name for Ward as a manager, as no lady er gentleman giving an entertainment could puffthernsolvee. (Laughter.) The entertainment was to be brought in my name. Mr. Hughes said that he hid' sufficient money to pay all debts, whether the speculation turned out a suc cessful one or not. I said that as my mime was in repute with the public I would not accept a- salary, lint would have one-third share of the profits. Mrs, Stanley said that her daughter ought to have one-halt share of the Profits, and that we ought to divide tlie other half. between us. I then said Mrs. Stanley might give the entertainment herself. It was subsequently agreed that we should each have one third share of the profit , . This is the book of the enfortainmbnt. We all three did what we could to keep the thing afloat. I weet jci the plaintiff in reference to the matter. The entertain ment was produced, and both the public and the piesssaid ,it was very.successful. I know tithe handwriting of Mr. Hughes and... Miss Stanley. Mr. Prentice—ls that Mr. Hughes's handwriting Witness (with astonishment)—Hew slid you gat -that letter? (Laughtdr.) It is my letter, and is written by Mr. Hnghes to me. - - . [The letter was read, and- was-to the effect that the igreemeut betweeti`thh pe.rties - waS broken - -•- 'Cross-exaMineck:thY Sergeant' Thomas— Th. -hook which has been produced comes under the right of rili lishing and selling the programmes and words of the• en tertainment, which Mr. Hughes and I reserved to ourselves; and that was part of the agreement which was never car ried out. Mr. Hughes wrote to me to desire me to break off the second agreement, which I refused to do unless I received a reasonable compensation for so doing. Miss Stanley is at the present time in America fulfilling an en gagement, for which she is to receive 3,0001. I brought an action against Miss Stanley in the Court of Common Pleas to recover my share of the profits, and the amount was paid into court ; but I did not succeed in that action, and the money was ordered to be paid back again. Miss Stanley never paid anybody. (A. laugh.) Nobody was ever paid except the landlord, and he stopped the rent. The plaintiff had fitted up rooms for me about I^l years. _ Miss Stanley lived with her mother for a considerable period previous to this affair. Hughes lived in Gray's-inn-place. I was not introduced to Miss Stanley till a.cember, 1855. Mr. Hughes assured me that all connection between him self and Miss Stanley was broken off, as, if it was made public that she had such a connection, a drawing-room entertainment would not answer. Cross-examined by Mr. Griffiths—l was present on the Monday when the entertainment wee opened, and .1 had to make an apology to the audience in consequence of the incompleteueos of the fittings. Mr. John 11, adland—l am secretary to the proprietor of St. Martin's-hall. I produce an agreement - to hire the hall. [lt was proposed to read the agreement, but in conse quence of its being informal, it was not allowed to be read.] _ _ CrOss-examined—Tbe hall was let to Mr. Hughes, and the receipts for rent were given to Messrg. Hughes and Stammers. Mr. Thomas Brown—l was engaged as pianist at the entertainment by Mr. Stammers originally. Miss Stanley wrote a letter to mo, requesting me not to leave the orches tra daring the entertainment. James Flood—l am an upholsterer. Miss Stanley and Mr. O'Keefe were living together as man and wife. Jas. Reed said that Miss Stanley and Mr. O'Keefe lived at his house in 1847, 1848, and 1819, as man and wife. Thomas Solway—Miss Stanley ordered some wig -boxes and a looking-glass for her entertainment of me, which she had paid for. Ividence was then called to show the reasonableness of the charges. This was the close of the plaintiff's case, and The Chief Baron said he was of opinion that the plaintiff had not made out any case against the defendants, and must therefore be nonsuited. Nonsuited accordingly. lIEREFORD. The nomination took place at the old Town-ball yester day, the Mayor, Mr. Wm. George presiding. There was a large attendance of electors and non-electors. Mr. C. T. BODENHAISI, of Rotherwas, proposed, and Mr. Alderman A FTHONY seconded, the nomination of Mr. George Clive, the Liberal candidate. Mr. F. H. THOMAS and Mr. EDWARD WEMYSS per formed the like office for Mr. Kevill Davies, the candidate brought forward by the Tory party. Mr. CLIVE first addressed the electors at considerable length. He stated that he sought the suffrages of the elec tors as a genuine Liberal, and an independent supporter of the Palmerston Government, because in his opinion that Go vernment comprised the legitimate successors of the men who carried the Reform Bill, and in fact all liberal measures,from the time when the Tories were .first dispossessed of office down to the present period. It was true that the credit of passing liberal measures was claimed on all sides, and that eminent Conservative statesman, Sir J. Pakington—for whom he prophesied the post. of Secretary of State in the event of his party obtaining power—had been recommend ing "perseverance" as the only way to secure an exten sion of education, showing that the Reform Bill, Catholic Emancipation, and the repeal of the corn laws had been carried by perseverance ; in fact, claiming for Conser vative statesmen the parentage of all those great measures. He was also prepared to support Lord Palmer ston's Government, because they had brought the Russian war to a satisfactory termination. " Oh, oh," from the Tories.) No doubt, many thought a better peace might have been made, and would not have been unwilling for Russia to have had another year of the war; but, for his own part, he thought the Government had made the best peace they could. Austria was unwilling to go on longer, France had had quite enough, and England was left in the position that she must have continued the contest alone. And no one, he felt, would wish England to meddle with European politics, and fight the battle of freedom there by herself. He dissented from the supposition that the power of Russia had not been weakened, and, having given some facts in reference to her great loss of men, he came next to the question of the income tax. His belief was that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had no intention to continue the impost of what was called the " war 9d.," unless it was necessary to do so for the purpose of paying debts already contracted. If this were not clearly shown to be the fact, ho was prepared to vote for the abolition of that part of the tax in April next. He professed himself anxious for a reform of the law, particularly referring to the law affect ing the transfer of land, and the system of ecclesiastical tenures as requiring amelioration. On the question of dealing with our criminal population, he was opposed to the ticket-of leave system, and said it was quite clear that our homes must be kept sacred from men who, after a year or two's imprisonment, are enabled to get a remission of their sentences by making a number of civil speeches to the chaplain. But then, what are we to do with these men, some of whom were no doubt sincere in their professions of repentance, and would, if they could surmount the obsta owui r l c n o o n t i have ,a t musthem, be andthue. which eh employed, came duringto the obsta cles that beset them, return to the paths of honesty? "Transport them" might be the response; but our colonies sentence, in such works as the construction of harbours undertaken.atlthat tdic,ee tendencyks t h e conclusion term of theirtha t question of education he contended being h e e franchise, otherwise it would be more prudent to prepare the people for the exercise of that power by educational mean . sthan by ex tending the franchise without the accompaniment of educa tion. He was therefore in favour of the general extension of education, and thought no ono could object good school in every parish. The h • to see a oe. candidate next touched upon the ballot question, and after expressing himself very strongly on the necessity for the adoptionxprfssin/ some measure to secure the voter in the rightful eecerc of his trust, he said ho was prepared to vote for the ballot, ° or any other measure which would secure the desired ob - O works nteh fe ject, if it wore at all reasonable and likely to command public approbation. Coming to the subject of church ' rates, Mr, Clive said lie was willing to support Sir Wm, DUMFRIESSHIRE. Yesterday Mr. lope Johnston was elected without op position for the county of Dumfries, vacant by the, resig nation of Lord Drumlanrig, consequent u. on the death of his father, the Marquis of Queensberry. Mr. Johnston re presented the county previous to 1817. BUTESTIIRE. Yesterday the Hon. Stuart Wortley, her Majesty's Soli citor-General, was re-elected member for the county of Bute without opposition. THE SEVEN AGES OF WOMAN. COURT OF EXC EQUE a- YESTERDAY. SIMHONDS V. HUGHES AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to recover 66/. 18P. for goods bargained and sold, goods sold and delivered. and materials provided in getting up an entertainment at St. Martin's Hall, called the " Seven Ages of Woman." The plea was, never indebted. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Prentice appeared for the plaintif f; Sergeant TMhorm. a Griffith iep r Emma Stanley. The learned counsel, in opening the case, said the pre sent action was brought against the defendants , H u g hes :en w te a d s f t t h br e Mr other Hughes dan a t n , d and Miss Emma Stanley, for the expenses of fitting up the room at St. Martin's Hall for the purpose of representieg e the entertainment of " The Seven Ages of Woman." He should be able to prove that the orders were given for the benefit of the defendants, and given by them to the p lain• tiff; that the work was done, and the c h a rges were fair and reasonable. S o uthampton-row, the plaintiff's case : and am a silver • ' Mr. John Simmonds—l am the plaintiff, S The following witnesses were then calle d in su pp ort of smith, jeweller, and furnisher, ill Russell-square. I have had many other transactions similar to the one in question.• I have enny fitted up for Jenny Lind Lind and many other persons. In December, 1855, Mr. Stammers called on me on behalf of Miss Emma Stanley. He asked me to call that evening at St. Martin's-hall, in Long-acre, and I accordingly went on the sth December, and I saw the defendant, Mr. Hughes. I also saw Mr. Headland, who is secretary to Mr. Hullab, who saw the proprietor of the hall. I saw Hughes, and was afterwards introduced to him by Mr. H ea dl an d. Mr. Hughes said "Mr. Stammers has been speakiug about you; has ho made any arrangements ?" I said, "He has not." He said, "Stammers told me he h a d said he' had male ar rangemeets." All Stammers told me was that he wanted it dons similar to that of Miss P. Horton, who was giving a similar entertainment. I said, " Well, I don't know Mi ss Stanley," and I asked him whether he would gua rtraanntseaecmtios en and he theatricals, said, "Oh, that yes," would that he h w a o v u e ld n s o e t e hi m ng e Fad every week. I said I had had many unfortunate more to do with them. He said he was not a theatrical ; ho was of the firm of Blomburg, Hughes, and Co., and had come to England to manage the London branch of that fi rm . I made a very rough sketch at the time of Miss P. Horton's entertainment, and afterwards improved upon it. Nothing was decided upon then. I after warde went to St. Martin's -ball again, and saw Mr. Hughes, Mr. Stammers, and some others. I showed him the sketch, and said that it was an improvement upon Miss Horton's arrangement. I was referred to Mr. Stammers, but he had "dined out," a nd he was not a ble t o transact business—(a laugh) —and an appointment was made for the next morning. I pre pared an estimate , an d c a lled at St. Martin's-hall, I saw Mr. Stammers, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Headland. I went to the front of t he p latform and said I would do all that necessary for '2O/. down and 41. a-week. Nothing was at that time. Afterwards I signed a paper wa s agr eed upon a and gave it to M r. Headland. This is the p a p er. This is guarantee as to what I was to do till a proper one was Miss Stanley, h er mo th er, an d M r. made out. On the Thursday my men erec t e d th e frame work. Mr. Hughe s, Stammers were present. This was on th e 6th o f D ec . Alterations were made by the directions of Mi ss St an l e y, I saw her many tim es afterwards, an d she gave me many directions. In the eveningwill rehear sing, and she said, " Thisdo." Th e wor k was completed on the Mon da y . These alterations of course took longer time. All the work that was done up to the Friday night was pulled down and done over again. The whole amount of my account was 851. My engagement was to charge Si. per week for the hire of those things. They had them for 16 weeks, but I did not charge by the week. I made the extr), charge for the extra work which I bad to do. The amount of the extra work was 511., which was the usual trade price. I went afterwards and found that the things had been taken down, and damaged, in my opinion, to the amount of 181. In the beginning of May I found out that Mr. Hughes's name was O'Keefe. Cross-examined by Mr. Griffiths—When I saw Mr. Stain asto a ok p p a mere be told me that Mr. Hughes had no thi ng at al l to d o w ith the matter in question. I trust e d Mi ss Stanley, an d took Mr. Hughes as guarantee. Mr. St ammers sa id th a t Misswhich s ta induced nley. m T h e e t to public believe t hathe performancew Monday, and I don't know that Mi ss Stanley was obliged to make au apology to the audience in consequence o f the partner r on with the incompleteness of the arrangements. Complaints were made, and it was said that I had not supplied that which I h a d agreed to supply. There were not several things I ought to have done that I did not do. There was only the cornice. I have frequently made applications for the ex tras, but I don't know that I ever named any amount. I made an affidavit, upon which the defendants were arrested, and in that I only spoke of the amount due to me for the use and hire of the goods. Mr. Jos. Stammers—l am a musical director and drama tic manager, and have something to do with St. Martin's hall at the present time. I first knew Hughes six or seven years ago, when he went under the name of O'Keefe. I was first introduced to Miss Stanley about Nov., 1855. Mr. O'Keefe introduced me to her. He was residing with her. I knew that Mr. Hughes and Miss Stanley had been living together as man and w if e. It was no secret at all. It was notorious. I think they were not living together in 1855. I called upon the plaintiff about fitting up this place. I received an application from Mr. Hughes at the Drury-lane Theatre, when I bad the management of it, and heard there was a new entertainment getting ready between himself and Miss Stanley, and he wanted me to join them in it. 1 had not seen Mr. Hughes for five years previously, and I was introduced to him at the Opera Hotel in Bow-street. I said I Was engaged in operatic affairs, and I could not entertain it. I was introduced to Miss Stanley, and was asked to take the management, and PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION'. On Wednesday evening a meeting of the members of 'the benevolent department of this insautioa was held at the London Tavern, Dishopsgate-street ; T. Hankey, E3ci., M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY (Mr. W. Linford) read the following report arid balance-sheet:— " The Board - of Management beg to submit to the mem bers and friends of this fund their sixteenth annual report. The income for the year 1856 has been as follows : Donations, 3101. 55."•, 315 old subscribers, 4161. 15s. 6d. ; 49 new. ditto ; 601. 1.4; 4 life ditto, 421.; subscriptions from assurers—viz., 2,234 at 55., 5581. 10.4 79 at 10s., 391. 108.; - 2 at 10s. 6d., 11. ls.; 13 at 205., 131.; into rest, dividends, Szc., 6714 128. Stl.; total, 2,143/. 10. s. 2d. The above stun exhibits an fncrease of 1611. ISa. 3d. upon the income of the preceding year ; while, on the other band, the expenditure has been somewhat augmented by the endeavours of the board to bring this valuable institu tion more fully before the notice of the public, and by the increasing expenses attendant upon the election of annuitants. On the 30th May last, in pursu ance of a resolution of the precaling, annual general meeting five additional annuitants were elected, One clerk to an annuity of 251. ; four widows to annuities of 151. each. Two annuitants have died during the year, and the number at present on the null is 46, for a total annual sum of 815/. The board now recommend that additional annuities, not exceeding 751., ho granted. A resolution in accordance with the ahave will ho submitted to the meeting. The gratuities awarded to deserving and necessitous members dririnf„ , the year amount to 146'. 10s. The applications for loans continue to be extremely nume rous; 118 loans, for an aggregate sum of 2,303/. lOs , have been granted during the past twelvemonths, snaking a total of more than 25,0001. advanced in this manner since the system of granting loans has been in operation. The present capital of the film' (which has been increased since the last report by 6121. 13s. 61.), now amounts to 16,08 U. 6s. 2d. Although this result doubtless presents some reason for congratulation ; and although much good has certainly been effected, the board cannot but feel some regret that after a period of 16 years an institution possess ing such peculiar claims to sympathy and support in a great commercial community, should not h aye received them in a. far greater degree, both from the body it was origi nally intended to benefit, and also from the general public. The board, however, though somewhat disappointed by the result o ftheir past efforts, cannot but believe that, among a class possessing, as the clerks of this country must, a high degree of education and intelligence, the value and importance of such an institution as tho Provident Clerks' Benevolent Fund will in time be, as it deserves, fully ap preciated. In making the recomraen lation which they have done for the election of additional annuitants, the board feel they have gone as far as prudence will permit; they fear, however, that the amount will be inadequate to meet the cases likely to be brought forward. They there fore beg to urge most strongly upon the present members the desirability of making the institution known as widely as possible, and they call upon the clerks as a body to examine for themselves the principles upon which it is founded, and the benefits which it confers. While thus appealing to the clerks, the board cannot, how ever, but feel that they have good ground for seeking also the aid of the principals, to whom the welfare of their clerks must ever be a subject of deep importance. The board, therefore, trust, by bringing this fund fully before the notice of the commercial public, many of whom have not yet contributed to its aid, probably from the fact of being unacquainted with its distinctive features, that an amount of support may be secured which will speedily en able them to meet the case of every deserving applicant. The balance-sheet has been duly audited, and can be ob tained by any member of the fund on application. (Signed) " THOMSON HA NKEY, Chairman." The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, you have heard the report read, and the statement of accounts, as well as the balance-sheet of the association, which has been some time in the hands of every member, and I really do not think that they require any particular remark from inn to recommend them to your approval and adoption. (Elear, hear.) It is now 16 years since this association was first started, and, as the report states, it his not, per haps, made so much progress as the managers desired. It had not, confess, made quite so much progress es I could have hoped—(hear, hear)—but at the same time I cannot say that I think arty one is justified in a-- serting that it has made no considerable progress, be cause, when we remember that from the funds of this institution very nearly 50 persons who have been brought up under similar circumstances to those who formed it have been relieved—(bear, hear)—it must be a source of grat;fieation to us that we have effected so much good. (Hear, hear.) I do not think it can be otherwise than to a considerable degree satisfactory also to those merchants, bankers, and others who in the first instance by their contributions started the formation of this in stitution ; but it undoubtedly would have been more so if the institution were now conferring greater benefits. I can only attribute this state of things to want of time and I hardly believe that those w ho really consider the subject and its great advantages can fell otherwise than disposed to support it. (Hear, hear.) I can wcli under stand that there are great difficulties in the way of giv ing that support to the institution which those who are p e rhaps in easier circumstances of life would gladly see it receive. I have been too long connected with those in the position of clerks in London not to be aware of the great difficulties with which they have constantly to contend. (Applause.) It is impossible for me to forget it from day to day in the discharge of my duties at the Bank of England, and if I were possibly inclined to do so, the position which I hold as an Income-tax Commis sioner would prevent it, from my having to sit day by day to hear those heart-rending appeals and statements that are made by many of the members of that class, who are interested in such an institution as this. (Hear, hear.) It is impossible for any one possessed of that information not only not to commiserate but to be able to appreciate fully the difficulties with which this class has ,to contend, and undcubtedly they have had far greater difficulties to contend with during the last three or four years than during an average of 20 years pre ceding. (Hear, hear.) At one period there appeared to be a constant diminution in the price of almost every article of food, but during the last four or five years there has been a continual rise in the price of every ne cessary of life, whilst I feel satisfied that the remunera tion paid to clerks has not received that addition—l Will not say that ought to be made to it—but which the alt-red circumstances has appeared to render necessary. (Applause.) Ido not make these remarks in a spirit of grarnbliog towards the employers of labour of all kinds, because it is a difficult question to enter on, nor will I now presume to enter on such a discus sion, but I only ailnde to it to show that there are causes in operation which have a tendency to diminish that portion of a prudent man's income that allows him to lay by for old age, or immediate pressing wants, or to dev,ite to objects of charity to assisl, his less fortunate fellow-la'iourer. (Hear, hear.) These causes have no fortenadely been in operation for a considerable period, and I confess that I• do not see any great pros- Peet of their immediate amelioration ; but at the same tim3 I do not think that en that account that au institution like this should be regarded otherwise ilian with- deep - interest. - Those who are in employment, whilst feeling that their salaries are not in creased in•proportioa to their expenditure, should bear in mind tint there are vast numbers of their fellow-clerks and labourers who araunable to obtain employment, and are suffering from causes over which they have no con tool, and that it is the duty, and should be considered a privilege by those whom God has blessed with compara tivelyeasyurcuenstauces, toextend towards them not only their sympathy, but substantial assistance. (Hear, hear.) This inetitntion has not been formed on any rigid scale Of econonly,z 7 byt on the broad principle of benevolence, by trying to induce those who have the means of doing . so of becoming members, a n d b y th e i r sma ll con t r ibu .tions meet cases cif severe, distress and suffering of every kind. Elam taining that -feeling, as all appear to do, I hope that notwithstanding the difficulties you have to contend with it will go:on and prosper. Tne time may come when we may Fee a change for the better, and then no doubt it would gladden the hearts of all to know that, even in a time of adversity, means had been found pithwhich to increase the number of annuitants. It if .wlL4 s uch - feelings that - I 'venture agai n to • re gonliteild--AbriPilielitratiells-40 :your .warns d: eordisi support, and I trust that it will receive that increased support that the managers will be able to increase the annuitants—remembering-that an increase of annuitants does . not occasion a proportionate increased charge against the institution, the present machinery beibg capable of carrying out the objects of the institution threefold without additional expense. (Hear, hear.) Having ventured to make those remarks, I leave the matter in your hands, trusting that you will feel with me that the institution is deserving of support, and that you will continue to support it. (Hear, hear) I now move "that time report and balance sheet now read be received and adopted, and that the same be printed and circulated at the discretion of the board." (Hear, hear.) Mr. PIKE, a member, seconded the motion with feel ings of pbanre, and congratulated them on the suc ces=sful and prosperous etate of the affairs of the . . institution in both departments. (Hear, hear.) He appeared there as the representative of a number of memhers to express his and their satisfaction at the gratifying state of their affairs. (Hear, hear.) One of the most valuable features of this department was the annuiti-s paid to widows and to decayed mem bers, and it had been a subject of great regret for years past to him and his friends that the benefit of this de partment could not be Extended so as to avoid all un certainty as regarded the result of the elections. To at tain that object he suggested that the present mode of election should be done away with and left to the board, by which the expenses of the May meeting would be saved, great inconvenience to members got rid of, and a great saving of expense, trouble, and anxiety to the can didates, as well as disappointment at not succeeding. At the end of this year, after they had divided their bo nuses, he thought it was a favourable time for their al locating one-half of the profits, instead of one-tenth, to the benevolent fund. By getting rid of the elections at least 511. a-year would be saved, which would be suffi cient to provide for three annuitants. He also thought that a portion of the balance, 6751., might be withdrawn to meet the current demands of the annuitants. Mr. WARWICK said that however much they must have regretted the absence of Mr. Abel Smith, his absence that night had been ably supplied by the hon. gentleman then in the chair. (Hear.) From the remarki of the chairman he g'eaned that there was a kind• feeling en tertained by him towards that body of men who sup p Tted this institution, and every one who had heard his remarks must have been touched with their truth, and which indicated to his mind that the hon. gentleman must have entered with real sympathy into the reel position of the clerks not only of London but of the whole country—(applause)—and that he had placed his views in relation to them before the meet ing, in a manner for which they were much indebted to him. (Haar, hear.) The report stated that the benevolent department was not supprted to the extent it should he, aid its pros isious warranted. That was _ to be lamented ; but he did not know vihethcr it was to be at.rihuted to the fault of the present subscribers or of that body of clerks who were unconnected with them ; but he hoped soon to find a change. in that respect for the better. He saw an item of 3001. in the balance-sheet, as donations to the society. There was; no doubt, an excellent spirit dictated the donors of that amount, but he doubted not that circumstances had the effect of deterring many from j lining the association, believing thereby that, it became a charity ; end however much the class of clerks as a body miW,t have to struggle against distreis, they did not like to have recourse to mere charitable institutions for assistance. He of jected to the changes that had been proposed, and although the members, no doubt, Lit every confidence in the manager, he thought it was o' jt.ctionable giving them the exclusive selection of annuitant% and that were they t 3 do so they would lose half the number of their subscribers, because many who subAetibed liked t have a voice in the election of candidates. (Hear, hear.) He objected to any change being made in respect to the allocation of the bonuses, and in the amount of the balance carried forward. The report just read indicated the steady and certain deve lopment of those great principles 01 co-operation upon which the association was mainly and entirely esta (Chters.) The Chairman at this stage of the proceedings was compelled to Lave, and his place was filled by Air. R. H. Jones. Mr. MINTON was averse to the changes proposed by Mr. Pike, as being likely to damage the progress of the association. He differed from Mr. Warwick that their acceptance of donations kept subscribers away, and re marked that he should like to see a much larger sum every year in the balance-sheet under the head of dona tions, and urged on the directors and members to in crease it all they could, and offered his services to ac complish that desirable object. He suggested their having a dinn.r or ball like other benevolent societies as a means of increasirg their income. Mr. PARR was of opinion that an advantageous change might be made with reference to the election of annui tants, and the sum raised from 151. to 201. He wished also to see a larger amount for donations annually in their list, and c9uld scarcely be:ieve that clerks abstained from joining the association from the charitable charac ter it gave it, when in reality it was a charitable institu tion. He thought the members of the institution might be increased by altering the form in which the advertise ments were couched. By it the public were led to be lieve it was a class association, into which none but clerks were admitted, whereas it was for the benefit of all trades and professions. lie hoped soon to see this society have schools and asylums in connection with it, as many class societies had. Mr. HATTON called the attention of the meeting to the necessity of the directors making application to the 16,000 Government clerks in London to become mem- , bers of the association. He was opposed to their re ducing their bonuses, because large bonuses were a great temptation to persons to join associations. He was not disposed to place the election of annuitants in the hands of the directors—though he did not doubt their in tegrity. Mr. LLOYD, after regretting Mr. Hankey's absence, suggested that it was advisable that the directors should bring as many of the trustees as possible to the meeting, in order that they might see and hear how the associa tion was progressing. He was much gratified to find that the funded property produced almost sufficient with which to pay the annuitants. He had always considered that the only legitimate course to be adopted was to bring the amount of the annuities within the interest of their funded property. He considered they had much cause for congratulation. He approved of the present Ilan of election, for it induced many persons to become members to be able to vote. Mr. REYNOLDS was averse to placing the elections in the hands of a board of directors, and the proposed divi sion of the profits. He wished t 3 see a larger number of subscribers. The CHAIRMLN said that the directors bad distributed 10,000 circulars amongst the clerks at the Government offices, as well as personally canvassed, and what the result may turn out remained yet to be seen. A dif nx,istas to money matters ferenceof o w p i i t a h ion th a e pp a ea ss r o ed cia to tio e connected and he considered it I much better for the meeting to rely on the directors in oarrying on the affairs of the association. After 16 years' operations, he congratulated the members on their position, and that the principles with which they warted remaimel intact to this hour. (Cheers.) With regard to their increasing the amount of the annuities, that would be a question for discussion when they met to re vise the rules. He then alluded to the pleasing fact that one of their members had returned a donation made to him with interest, and remarked that, when that gentleman joined the ass oc i a ti on, t h ere was eery (probabilityear, bear.) Nothing that he would wouldnev e r g r i e v q e u itsihriem(And as he f i stanc el e t . would for election lda his brotheroi annuitantsdirec to r directors) tobe greater placed dis comfiture in the a eertinit w hands than of the bo ar d. (Hear, hear.) It had been suggested on more than one occasion, but he bad always set his face against it, because it would be placing them in a most unfortunate position. H e was f or l eav i ng as little as possible to the discretion of the board. (Hear, hear.) The report WAS then put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. WELOII, in proposing the next resolution, raving reference to the annuities, said that he had great plea sure in submitting it to the meeting, the only r egret he felt being at its limited extent. Having taken a ware interest in the association from its commencement, certainly did regret that they we re not in a po.s.it.

S Lion had been used by the Beard, in solicffing clerks and others to join the association, but so far as his experience enabled him to form an opinion be re gretted to Fay that he found in canvassing what he might term the superior class of clerks to increase the benevolent fund, a disinclination to support it. Ile considered it was more creditable to those who did F up , port it, they being mostly those who received medium salaries. (Hear, hear.) When he lately canvassed a w t gentleman, holding a good.appointment, fo o ra h t vv io e n l , ch h , e o re fi replied—op;:Nioi,n, Ithdaetng'tentthlienmken h ad wort h join it s o tuol whileat much that u r he i t r eh( - ) subscribe.

Could such persona only hear the tales of dis tress and suffering that came before the board, thy would rot hesitate to give their mite towards its al,via tion. Many widows had told them that if it had not been for the assistance they had received from the asiC (nation they mu s t h av e broken down under the calamity of the loss of th e i r h us b an d s , an d by which they and their families were left in destitution. The support they bad received from the Association had enabled them - to bear up to seek for other means by which to increase their incomes. (Heat-, Lear.) It was very gratifying to see in the balance-sheet the return of a 101. donation that had been given to a gentleman connected with the A.sso- . ciation. That was not the first instance of the kind that ha l occurred to them, and he recollected the case of a gentleman who wrote to the Board, stating that he was in such distress that he had not clothes, nor the means to procure them, in which to apply for erop'oy rnent. The Beard gave him a donation, and the consequence was that he obtained a situation, and Le, like the genthquan who figured in this year's balance sheet, returned the amount with interest and sincere gratitude. (Hear.) These were features of an extremely. _gratifying obar.oter, and he shrodi think sufficient to in a4o,Apy,saartkpb,p4ffint. of them to , 'rife his aubscep lion. (HeaVifistilt-ile thought that the principals of the large firms of London and the country ought to give some assistance to the benevolent fund, because the per- Ens for whom the fund was ietended were, he might may. the machinery of trade and commerce, and consequently , -'• the prinoipals of firms ought to subscribe to it and give a. little . of their abundance towards augmenting it. To attain that object he thought the clerks should interest them selves, and bring the benefits of the institution before their employers. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by mov ing the following resolution : " That on the 28th May next, or such other day as the board may appoint, an amount not exceeding 751. be granted in annuities. The number of annuitants of each class to be fixed by the board according to the applications which may be received." Mr. PRICE briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. JErrs moved the best thanks of She meeting lo T. Baring, Esq. ' M.P., T. Hankey, Esq., M.P., W. G. Prescott, Esq., Baron Rothschild, M.P., trustees of the association, and that they will continue their kind inte rest in the welfare of the institution. (Cheers.) In moving the resolution, he called on the meeting not to pass it as an ordinary routine vote of thanks. It was the only mark of respect that they could pay these gen tlemen for their services during the past year. (Hear.) They were of great assistance to the association, not only from the weight of their names, but also for their active interference in the business of the association. (Hear.) Mr. COLEMAN seconded the motion and said that he could bear witness to the advantages the association de rived from the services of tbose gentlemen, and he hoped that that recognition of their services would stimulate the principals of other firms to do likewise. (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said that he had received a letter from Mr. Smith regretting that business elsewhere pre vented him from attending the meeting, but if he (the chairman) thought it desirable he would leave if, at gra at inconvenience, and be at the meeting. He and the board thought that they could not, under the circum stances, call on Mr. Smith to attend. As regarded Mr. Hankey, he was al ways glad to attend, and nothing but pressing business prevented him from remaining till the conclusion of the meeting. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. REYNOLDS moved a vote of thanks to the andie ton, Messrs. Galbart, Pollard, and &nee. Mr. LINTOTT seconded the motion, which was earr:ed unanimously. Mr. LLoiD said he had much pleasure in propsilig a vote of thanks to the Board of Directors for their excel- lt , nt management of the affairs of the Benevolent Fund during the past year. He felt certain that every gentle man present felt satisfied that the directors had given their best attention to this branch of their affairs. (Hear, hear.) Mr. TOOLE seconded t'te motion, and empressed an opinion that the association would go on increasing. The motion was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said that it as the earnest desire of the board to do ail the good they could for the association, and all sugges• tions made by members at the annual meetings received the earnest consideration of the board, and where found practicable were carried out. The proceedings then terminated. It was stated that among the donations for the past year were two of one hundred guineas each by Messrs. Cox and Co., army agents, and Sir S. Scott and Co., backers. At the c)nclusion of the meeting some new subscriptions were handed to the secretary by gentle. men who declared their intention of promoting, to the extent of their power, the objects of the above excellent institution.
