TEE ANGLO-SAXON. —This ill-fated vessel belonged
to a Liverpool company, which ie subsidised by the Cana-
dian government to awry mails. They have now six
steamers, and one building. They have lost five vowels
within the last six years. The Anglo-Saxon had not only
the Canadian malls, but also mails for the western,
1 north-western, and south-western parrs of the United
States on board. It would appear that the Anglo-
Sams was approaching Cape Raos for the purpose
of communicating her European news there. It was
at one time hoped that every American packet would call at
Cape Race on their eastern and western passages to receive
American and communicate European news, but for the
last six months few pickets going eastward have been able
to call on account of the dampr incurred by so doing. Could
say means be adopted of lessening this danger, we should
ramie* almost three days later news by the New York
steamers than we do at present—that is our news from the
United States would be only seven or eight days old, instead
of ten or eleven as is now the case.
DPHYRI7CTION OP ♦ LARGE SHIP BY FIRE.—

Ltvgaeooy NOIDAY.—Today the following telegram was
posted in the Underwriters' rooms :—" The captain of the
ship Imperatrice Sneaks arrived in London from Natal,
reports seeing a large ship on firs, burnt to the water's edge,
on the 26th and 27th March, in lat. 1 N., long. 26 W. The
captain endeavoured to reach the burning vessel, and if
possible to render assistance, but he was unable to do
so owing to calms" Some people here believe that this
vowel was one of the Alabama's prices; that she had
bees burnt by Browne, ; and that the statement of Cap-
tain Halliday, of the ship Helen Nicholson, arrived here
a few days ago, to the effect that he saw a sulwarine
voicasie eruption on the 27th March, ill lat. 1 N., long.
26 W., is erroneous. The supposed eruption is thought to
have been the burning vowed sighted by the Imperatrice
Envoi.. No boats were seen about, and it is supposed—
news the versa has been destroyed by Semmes—all on
baud perished.

_ _ . .

The twelfth annual meeting of the subscribers to this insti-
tution was held yesterda at the lJnited Service Institu-
tion, Whitehall, ;Stanhope in the chair. Major
Farrel, the secretary, read the report, which stated that his
Royal Highness the Prises of Wales had consented to be-
come a patron of the asylum. There are at present 46
widows enjoying the benefit' of the asylum, and three more
will be elected at the present meeting. There is a large
number of applications for admission, and although there
is plenty of room for the whole of the appl,cants in the
asylum, the committee regret that the want of foods
precludes them from increasing the number under
their charge, and also prevents them carrying out
any necessary improvements ; they, therefore, earnestly
solicit increased support, as they regret to say, with the ut-
most economy, they were unable to meet the expenses of the
past year without drawing on the invested fund to the
amount of 2001. The committee desire to acknowledge the
kind interest shown for the institution by hex Royal High-
sees the Princess Mary of Chmbridge, is instituting .a special
foil for the purpose of providing nurses in special cams.
The total income for the year, including the 2001. drawn
from the invested fund, was 1,9681.6.. sd. The amount
now invested was 7,6311. Bs. 7d. The meeting was addressed
by Sir Henry Boothia, Colonels Koppel, Dalrymple,
Crawley, and Hart, Means. H. Pownall, Caswell, on.
Augustus Liddell, and others, strongly urging the claims of
the asylum on the regimenta in the British army, on the
*Moen, and on the public at large. The report was adopted.
THI Diorama no LANCASHIRE. —At the weekly
meeting
of the executive committee of the central relief
fund, held at Menchester yesterday (Sir J. Kay-Shuttle-
worth, Bart., in the chair), it was reported that the receipts
of the past week had amounted to 3,2801. Bs. 2d. The
balance in the bank was 389,5061. 7s. ld. lir. Commis-
sioner Farwell reported that there was a further decrease
last weak in the number of persons receiving perochisl
relief, in 27 unions, ea compared with the previous weer..
of 5,073. The total decrease since the 6th December last
is 84,348. Questions connected with the employment ad
cotton workmen on public improvements were brought
under the consideration of the committee by Sir J. Kay-
Shattleworth, and the several member, reported
the works which could be undertaken by the
municipal and other bodies, and the nature of
the legislative or other facilities desirable to
encourage and enable theme public bodies to carry out such
works The committee were of opinion that labour for
• ordinary wages on desirable public improvement, could be
found for the chief portion of the cotton workmen now in

DRAMA,.

STRAND.
The revived comedy of The Ladies' Battle,
prodooed at the Olympic by Mr. Ferree, served lut
night at this theatre to introduce Mr. Leigh Murray in one
of his most =coastal characters. It is satisfactory to find
that thie excellent actor has lost little of hie power during
his long period of Mimosa, and that his keen dramatis
instil:el is etell as tens and his command of expression ea
great as they were ten years ago, when he was constantly
before the public. The Ladies' Battle is a somewhat too
literal translation frost the French, bat its dialogue is
pointed, its situations are agreeable and well contrived, sod
it walla nothing but refined, self-possessed active; to make
it popular with an audience who relish high oomedy.
Whether the patrons of the Strand Theatre are
exactly this kind of audience may be fairly
doubted, and the actors, having little practice in this
delimits class of pieces, must not therefore be judged too
severely. The performance—taken altogether—was very
crafitabie. Mr. Belford threw the necessary Ramat al re-
pose its the character of Baron de Montrichard ; Mr. Par-
selie was mealy and impulsive as ire Flarigneul ; Miss Ada
Swam borough played with true girlish spirit as Leonia, and
Miss Baton, though a little too violent, was a most seta-
allaCeCostateat As Gustave de Gagnon—the timid lover
of the Counties, who is suddenly thrown into a position of
dangle by being made to penemate the proscribed Flarignal
—Mr. Leigh Murray left little to be cleared. Hie sat*,
especially in the more pathetic parts of the third sot, was
rewarded with the loudest applause, and he was honoured
with a special call at the end of the comedy.

MR. YATES'S EaTICHTLIITMENT.—ThuI entertain-
ment, which has held plemant pomeesion of Albert Smith's
room at the Egyptian-hall for several months, and bas bad
a large share of public patronage, will be brought to a pre-
mature close this week, in masque's!. of Mr. Power's
appointment to an important post in the colonies. Mr.
Yates, deprived of hie partner, and having other labour on
his bands, baa DO desire to carry on the undertaking single-
handed, the name and responsibilities of such an entertain-
ment being greater than most persona would imagine. The
hat performance, we believe, will be given next Saturday.

ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING THE WELFARE
OF THE BLIND.

The ninth annual meeting of this society was
held yesterday at Bt. James's-hall ; the Archbishop of You'
in the chair, supported by teed Ebury, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of
Sc Arch, Professor Owen, kc.
The CHLIBIIAN, in introducing the object of the meeting,
mentioned some remarkable instances of blind persons hay-
lug attained to • high proficiency in literature, arta, and
.ieinies. These cued, however, were exosptioissil, but the
object of this society wen to seek out the obscure and bidi-
pat blind, and as fez es possible compensate them by in-
struction for the calamitous deprivation under which they
were suffering.
The Bev. Yr. itxm the secretary, read the report, which
stated that 170 blind persons were at the prompt time
reosivirer the assistance of this society-61 being supplied
with work at their own homes, at sums varying from 245.
to 26e. par west, • ps are instructed and employed at
the lastitution, and 25 are eureged in selling goods for the
society. Of the remaining 58, lour, unable to provide for
their maintenance, received small pensions, and the rest
were benefited in various ways. In addition, 730 wore em-
plued by six affiliated inetatutioes. The industrial arts
serried os by the society were 19 in number, the principal
being the =auto:tore of broth's, basket., mats, cane-
work, straw plaiting, beadwork, Ac. The society has also
a leading library of books in embossed type, comprising
more then 200 volumes. These books are lent without fee.
Clause also exist for instruction in reading, writing, music,
&a. The committee are desirous of opening a depot at the
wed sod of Loudon, for which the sum of 2,0001. ill re-
quired, and towards which they have as yet but 5001. in
heed. Her Majesty has just given large orders for goods
to be supplied to the royal palate, and the committee trust
this example will be gthually. followed. The income for
the year has beth—by sthetaptiees, 1,5021, 2a. 10d. ; by
sale of goods, 2,371/. 9.. 9d. ; sundries, 1381. 3s. 6d. •
making a total of 4,0111. 161. id. The expenditure hai
been—for materials, 1,292/. 2a. 5d.; for wages to blind
workpeople, 2,0941. 10s. 3d. ; for sundry payment., 8831.

The Bishop of CMCIOLSTIR moved the adoptionlof the

"Ve4ClLtiicaLcon of the EXCHEQUER (who was received
with much applause), in seconding the motion, said there
was no institution existing in this city that bad greater
claims on the benevolence of the public than the one on
whose behalf they were easembled. fie thought the rules
by which it was guided admirably adapted to carry oat its
objects, which were not to withdraw the blind from the
domestic ties of family, not to make reclaims of them, but
by kindness, instruction, and healthy employment raise
them as near as poosibl; to the same state of enjoyment
with their more favoured fellow-creatures. Employment
was necessary for all, but much more so for the blind, for
it brought them comfort, resignation, and an honourable
and independent subsistence, teachiag them not to depend
entirely for help on others, but to help themselves. (Hear.)
He thourbt the title of the society inadequately expressed
its objects, looking at what the society aimed at and what
It accomplished. The treatment of the persons under the
charge of the society, both as to employment mod instruc-
tion? was admirably adapted to its object, and snob as all
Chnstian and benevolent hearts could desire. He only
wished that by the extended support of the public its use-
fulness might be still further developed. (Cheers.)
Lord Ebury, the Bishop of SL Asaph, and other gentle-
men having addressed the meeting, the report was adopted,
and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.
During the meeting a choir belongiog to the school Nang
some of Handal's anthems in a very pleasing manner.
