The twenty-fifth annual dinner of the supporter,
of this iastituuon took place yesterday, at the Ilighbury
Barn T , and was more numerously attended than on
lay previous occasion; CHAULIS CHASILINOTON, Esq., of
the firm of Charrington, Head, and Co., was in the chair,
supported by numbers of the Mat influential members of
the trade.

The CHAIRMAN, in propene; " The Health of the
Queen," stated that her Majesty was a governor of the in-
stitution, always voted at elections, and never failed to
make herself acquainted with their results.
After the other usual toasts had been disposed of,
The beCULTARY read a report, which gave a very fa-
Testable account of the progress of the institution, although
semplaint was made that of the 10,000 licensed victuallers
of the metropolis only 3,000 contributed to its
feuds. The subscriptions of the past year had
amounted to a sum of 2,7831, an amount far beyond
the receipts of any previous year. There had also been a
dear profit of 2451. from the last annual ball, being also •
meter mount than had ever before been received from
that source.
A list of subscriptions was announced, containing very
liberal contributions from licensed victuallers and their
vices and families. To the subscriptions, the firm of
Coarrington and Head and persons attached to their eats-
biahment added a sum of 2161., which, with the amount
obtaiaed by their exertions among their friends, made a
total of nearly 4001. The whole sum subscribed was
goat 2,60 W.

Tug LIVERPOOL ELECTION COXIIITTEE.—SCI-
r:Da or O. or vie W1TM66111.8. Yesterday Mr.
hitAliewhite, the summoning officer of Christ Church,
B:stainers, sent information to Mr. Carter, the Surrey
coroner, that one of the witnesses summoned before the
tlenuttee of the house respecting the Liverpool election,
Lid destroyed his life. It appears that two of the electors,
cue armed Thos. Parkinson and the other (his cmisin)
Jsseph Parkinson, took lodgings for the time they were
'milted to attend the committee, in Brunswick-street,
Biaclitriar. road. On Tuesday morning Tnomas Parkinson
fraceeded to the water-closet in the yaid,whers he managed
tepees a black silk handkerchief through a hole in the
due, and then suspended himself to the same. He was
%sickly discovered, but instead of the inmates of the house
at ones slitting hies down. they bent to the police-scat on for
assistance. Poliereonstable Ld Lat once attended and
at him down. Mr. Bolton, surgeoo, of Cross-street,
Poorly arrived, opened the jugular vein in the arm, but
s few drops.' blood flowed, and he pronounced life to
quit•extinet. There is no doubt that if the deceased
!lad Peen cut down when he was first discovered, his
ids would have been saved. He is stated to be a widower,
sad about Co years of age. His expected that the inquest
will he held to-morrow (Friday).
FIRE AT PIMLICO. This morning, between
12 and l n'eloek, a destructive fire broke out on the m-
ouse. of Mr. John lAnghain, a grocer, at No. 81, I'on•
16111.. place, Vanahall-bridge-road, Pimlico. The build-
-118. *hitt' was of great extent, formed the angle of two this-
/8401ms, Prospect•place and Ponsonbrplace. With
418t1vd44,31 se possible the engine. of 'the London Bri-
ts& sad west of England office, with Mr. Staple. and
XL Canoodle, were soon on the spot, as well as the Royal
Stiety's escapes. Unfortunately, for some tiles a great
lack ot water was experienced, and owing to the flames
uarrstruised they continued to progress fearfully. At
ware • pientifel supply of water was procured from which
Ike engines were set to work, but in spite of the torrents of
water thrown upon the fire it continued to +prod, and even-
teal. y the entire structure presented one immense sheet of
was. The firemen, to lave the adjoining houses, had to
feed the roof., and by that expedient the fire was prifi•l
aly confined to the premises in which it began, but it is'
regretted that 02,1 were totally destroyed, and love-
'll lodgers in the house have lost the whole of their pro-

ROSPIT.4L FOR CONSUMPTION AND

DISEASES OF THE CHEST.

The annivereary festival of this institution was
celebrated yesterday evening, at Willis's Rooms, St.
James's. The chair was taken by the Marquis of WWl-
mixersz, who was supported by Lord Faversham, Lord
Dynevor, the Rev. Sir H. Foulis, Mr. Warner, M.P., the
Rev. W. W. Bowyer, the Rev. R. Montgomery, He. In
proposieg the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the
Hospital," the chairman stated that the total number ad-
mitted . using the last year was 443, of whom 292 were
dircharge.d relieved, 61 died in the hospital, and 90 re-
mained in the wards; that the amber of out-patients
treated during the same period was 3,671, and that the
total number relieved since the opening of the new building
was 23,886. The receipts during the year 1&52 amounted
to 9,9001. When it was remembered (continued the chairman),
that one-eighth of the aggregate mortality arose from these
diseases, and that there were constantly persons perishing
to whom aid might be rendered if the funds were adequate,
they must all feel that further contributions were loudly
called for. One motive for supporting the institution was
that it had been the medium of diffusing most useful
scientific information with regard to the proper treatment
of cue, of consumption. The knowledge first obtained at
this hospital was now spread over the whole country ; and
he had himself met with instances in which its circulation
had proved beneficial. He was happy to find that the
managers had procured an additional area of land adjacent
to the hospital, having incurred an expense of no leas than
16,0001. in order to secure that desirable result.
The toast was most cordially reponded to, as was also
that of " the Chairman," proposed by Lord Dynevor. The
subscriptions included the following :—the Chairman, 601. ;
the Duchess of Okaieester, 201. ; the Duchess of Cambridge,
30 guinea; Lord Dynevor, 101.; Lord Faversham, 24
guineas ; Mr. J. Labouchere, 201. The aggregate of the
sums announced was about 2,0001.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1855.—The subject for
discussion at the meeting of the Society of Arts left evening
was, The IJoiversal Exhibiti...n of 1835." Mr. Milner
Gibson, M.P., presided, and, in introducing the subject to
the meeting, alluded to the prohibitory duties which were
still levied in both countries on the products of the other.
Mr. Graham said he anticipated the best effects from the Ex-
hibition of Paris. Though high and almost prohibitory duties
were levied there on British goods, he apprehended they
would coma there in competition with all the productions of
the world, and would command the attention of the public.
A discuss;ou ensued, in which the general opinion ex-
pressed was in favour of a reduction of the duties at pre-
sent levied on English and French goods in favour of their
own products.
ACCIDENT TO MR. COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS.—
The accident that happened to Mr. Commissioner Phil-
lips on Monday was of more serious nature than antici-
pated. The learned gentleman was knocked down and
trampled upon, receiving some bruises on his right arm.
He is confined to his bed, and unable to discharge b
duties as a commissioner at present.

WILDNBIDLY BYZNINO.
The depression noticed by us as existing in the
market for home mining stocks for some time past
was aggravated to-day by the decision of the copper
smelters to make a further reduction of Id. per lb.
in the price of copper, and by the feeling of gloom
that pervaded the security markets generally. In
view of the fact that, since the last fall in the price
of copper, the standard has risen some 91. per ton,
the movement of the smelters is regarded with some
surprise. Transactions in all stocks are very limited,
and, consequently, we have no list of prices to
report.
The gold mining shares have suffered rather se-
verely from a pressure of sales, and closed without
any appearance of a rally at considerably reduced
rates for such descriptions as command premiums.
Peel River fell to 11 to 1 prem., but subsequently
rallied. At 4 o'clock Peel River were quoted at 11
to 21 prem. ; Colonial Gold, 11 to 11 prem. ; Port
Phalli), par to a prem.; British Australian Gold,
dis. to a prem.; Nouveau Monde, 11 to 11 prem.;
Apra Fria, 1 3.16 to 1 5-16 prem.; Anglo-Califor-
nian, to a prem.
Shares of the Jamaica copper mining companies
shared in the general depression. Metcalfe. closed 8
to 61 prem. only. Shares of the old Australian
Copper Company were also severely depressed, closing
2to 3 only. United Mexican were heavy at 4to 41,
and Mexican and South American were also flatter.
Copiapo shares formed the only exception in this
market, being 10e. higher.
The closing prices of new undertakings are as
follows : London and Liverpool Australian Gold
Mining and Streaming, 3-14 to 3-18 prem.; Mel-
bourne Gold, ato a per share ; Australian Mutual, to
dia. ; Australian Consols, = to I dia.; Monarch
Gold, 3-16 to 1-16 dis. ; Chartered Australian
Land and Mining, 1 to $ per share; Lewis Hill

berry West, 3-16 to 1-16 dia.; Connemara, par to 1
