interesting collection of paintings, by modern artists,

waterfall by T. Creswick, an excellent little landscape
by W. Miiller, a perfect gem of the pre-Raphaelite by
W. Gale, a very fine cabinet picture by J, Philip, R.A.,
of a cattle fair in the Isle of Skye, with others which

day. It appears that the meeting was called by eight
of the vice-presidents on the requisition of 25 members.
The professed object of the meeting was " to consider
what steps should be taken in defence of the privileges
of the Commons relative to taxation." At the appointed
hum:, one o'clock, seven or eight reporters presented
themselves at the offices, in Cable-Street, but only 15
or 143 gentlemen attended. Some conversation took.
place in which Mr. Robertson Gladstone took part; and
the meeting was formally adjourned until this day week.

THE ROYAL OAX SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of
the members of this society was held last evening in the
Upper Teutonic-hall, Lime-street. The proceedings,
compared with the occurrences at previous meetings,
were very orderly, and in no way interfered,jyith the
transaction of business, which was got through in the
cuurse of half an hour. Mr. Marsh presided. From
the financial statement read by the treasurer, it appeared
that the amount collected during the past year was
£9,676 13s. lid., and the previous year £8,829 17s. 90.,
showing an increase of £846 15s. 4d. During the year
just concluded £543 more bad been paid for deaths than
in the previous year, but, notwithstanding this, there
had been an actual saving of £354 6s. 104. The
balance sheet was almost unanimously agreed to, only
two voting in favour of an amendment, to the effect
that the accounts be not confirmed until the members
had bad an opportunity of examining the printed report.
The president, secretary, treasurer, and committee
having been re-elected, a vote of thanks was passed to
the chairman, and the proceedings then terminated.
