NEWSVENDERS' BENEVQLENT AND
PROVIDENT INSTITUrioN.

Last cvenirg the tenth annual meeting of the
friends and supporters of this institutingeSms held at Ander-
ton's hotel, Flect•street. Mr. Lutes MARSIER -Cenpied the
chair.
The SECRETARY commenced the proceedings by reading
the report. The ce•mmittee said that last year they had the
piquing task of congratulating the onemben on the shady
progress of the funds, while pointing out the necessity
which existed for their increase, in ceder that the growing
claims of the infirm and needy might be satisfactonly met.
Last year they had elected • pensioner, and this year they
would have been called upon to elect another—the widow of
a once respectable newavender—but that after ate had been
seven weeks a recipient of their emu II bounty she was re-
moved from this world by the kand of death. The rake
of the society resented the funded capital from being
entrenched upon, thus affording an unquestionable
guarantee fur the stability of the institution ; and these
rules further provided that casual support could wily be
paid out of dividends pr interest. The widow of one of the
largest newsvenders in the City at one period, k-d been com-
pelled, by unforeseen circumstances, to apply for temporary
relief, and a sum of 101 had been advanced to her to enable
her to commence business. Torre memhers hod been re-
moved by death, and two of their widows had also applied
:or temporary relief. Several new subscribers had been en-
rolled, and donations from some of the newspaper proprietors
hid been received. The funded capital amounted to 1,0001.,
but it was believed that this sum might still further be in-
crewed by steady and persevering efforts, toed that the
society might yet be made second to none in z al and us:fut.
wee.
The TREASURER (Mr. Merrett) announced that the sub-
scriptions and donations for the past year amounted to 901.,
aced the expenditure to 881, leaving a balance in hand (inde-
pendent of the 1,0001. funded capital) of 111. Athinget
the subscriptions and donations received wees,—The

The meeting proceeded to elect the various officers
for the ensuing year; and at the clues the usual vote of thanks
to the chairman was unanimously passed.

THE POLICE COURTS.

CLEREENWELL.
Tax ROBBULT AT ST. PANCRAS WOILENOVIZ.— W.
Jackson was placed at the bar for final examination, charged
with havieg been concerned in a burglary in St Pancras
Workhouse, and stealing 20 sovereigns and 16:d. in silver
money.
Evidence having been given corroborative of the IWO-
meets which have already appeared in the Daily News,
Mr. Combs said be should commit the prisoner for
trial, and he inquired whether he wished to say anything in
his defence.
Mr. Huddlestone said if the magistrate was determined to
adopt that course, he would reserve the defence until the
prisoner's trial.
The prisoner was then fully committed.
RICHMOND.
Tan Ro s.T Kaw CIIORCH.—J. Nye, who was de-
scribed as a smith, was charged with being concerned with
the three persons new in custody, in breaking into Kew
church, in Feb. 1846, and stealing therefrom an iron chest,
eontshiimy the parish registers.
J. H. Price, a brass-worker by trade, proved the connexion
existing between the prisoner, Standen, and Hart. It was
further shown that the prisoner was concerned in the taking
of the iron chest to Standen' house, and he was remanded
to Kingston gaol, to be brought up for re-examination with
the other prisoners.

he hoped it would in a few days victims also the unction of 1
the other branch of the legislature. Its objects were for the
purpose of economy, and for enak,ng a better junction with
the South Western Railway than was contemp ated in their
original act parliament; but as legislative unction was re-
quired for this, as well as for greater deviations, the directors
were bound to come and ask for the sanction of the proprie.
tor+. The change ;imposed would not in soy way affect the
contracts made by this company, or thou which had been
sanctioned by the South Eastern Company. He would eon-
elude these observations by moving the resolution.
The Rev. Mr. POCOCK put several questions as to the
cost of the Reading, Ouildford, and Reigate Railway, and
asked if this alteration would in any way diminish the gua-
rantee of 66 per cent. from the South Eastern Company.
The CHAIRMAN said this would involve no extra
money. The amount guaranteed by the South Eastern
Company was clear of all expenses. On the transferring of
their office to the South Eastern Company a ren.uneration
for the One expenses would be allowed. He said at the
last meeting that it wee his opinion that the line might con
about 600,0001. (Hear, hear.) For this they would have
46 miles of railway. If it should be completed for the sum
expected, they would have already received beck of that
amount 64,0001. in the shape of interest. If a greater sum
than the estimate of 600,0001. were required, this company
would have to raise it by debenture, on which the South.
Eastern Company would allow 6) per cent. clear of all ex-
penses. (Hear, bear.)
Mr. BLAKE asked how soon the line would be ems-
pleted ?
The CHAIRMAN said they bad given notice to the Rail-
way Commissioners of the part between Reading and Farn-
borough, and of that from Reigate to Dorking. If the
sanction be obtained, he thought this line might be opened
by the Ist of June.
Alter some questions from several of the Proprietors,
TIN CHAIRMAN said he made every allowance for the
vigilance of the shareholders in respect to the acts of their
direr ore, after the experience they bad undergone in respect
to railway management. (Hear, hear.) It was not the
small remuneration of 1001. a year that induced him to re-
main so long by this company, but to look after the large
interests of the various friends he had invited to enter into
the undertaking. (Hear.) As to jobbing in shares, he
could assure the meeting that they had never bad a broker
attached to this company, nor was it the case in any of the
various establishments with which he was connected. (Hear.)
The resolution was then passed unanimously.
Mr. LEWIS moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and
directors, the Rev. Mr. POCOCK seconded it, and it was
carried unanicsonsly.—The meeting then adjourned.

ROME. JVLT 2.

Yesterday afternoon I visited the Porta San Pan-
erszio and the prine'pal positions still in the hands of
the }amens. Tin ea are the gate itself, with the wall
to the left of it u far u the first bastion (whieh is
ecentied by the Fiench), the road leading down to
the city, the Pauline fountain, with the surrounding
viney..irde, San Pietro in Montorio, and all below that
church. Oa the right cf the gate, the most ins
portent point is the Villa Savorelli, formerly Girl-
beide. head.quatters, but now almost rained by the
French coma. Garioaldi himself was visiting his
outpoets whilst I was there, and was enthusiastically
cheered by his attsch.d followers, in the fall sight
and hearing of the enemy's soldiers, who were crowded
on the first bastion, gazing down on the noble city at
their feet.

Tte National A.serahly last night concluded its
wring upon the republican constitution 'nib all con-
venient dignity, and replaced the ex-triumvirate by
namieg the cttize^s Sall v•ti, Calandrelli, and Marian

THe ErROPA.—ARRRdT WARRANT.
The Queen's Advocate applied to the court on the part of
several passengers and ethers who were on board the Charles
Bartlett, when she was run down at sea, to grant a warrant
to arrest the Europa (or the losses they had sustained by
the sinking of that vessel. The applies ton was of a mvel
character, and he had not had time to lock into cases, as he
ha 4 that moment been ins'ruc'ed to nx.kc the application.
Dr. Addams said he was in the same siturvion, but acting
fer the owners of the Europa, he was willing to take de
opinion of the court. He (Dr. Addams) did not know of
any case where passengers had or could bring an sctimt for
their loss. Here were 163 persons on ta ard, 42 of whom
were saved, and each of these might bring their actions and
thus swell out the amount of costs against the owners of the
vessel.
The court replied that it would not decide the ciuestioo,
whether a passenger could or could not bring an action ; but
it would take care that no unnecessary expense in the form
of costs should be incurred. The warrant for the arrest of
Use vessel must go out.
One action is said to be entered for 14,000/.

GERMANY.

FRANKFORT. The Frankfort Oherpostunits
Zeitung publishes in its number of the 17th inst. the
instructions forwarded by the Prussian government
on the 14th to their plenipotentiary in the above
city. The following is a careful analysis of the docu-
ment containing those instructions :
It sets out by stating that the recent decisions of the
national assembly have forted his Prussian Majesty's govern-
ment to come to a resolution which they had long hoped to
be able to dispense with. The grounds on which they can
no longer recognise that assembly as a legal one, and on
which they have recalled the deputies from Prevail., have
been already set forth in the proposition submitted by them to
the king. The resolutions passed in the Germanic Diet on
the 30th of March and the 7th of April, 1848, conferred on
the assembly the mission of acting as a mediator between the
governments and the people, and of adjusting the various
points of view with reference to the individual relations and
wants of the Finale state, as well as to the wishes of the entire
nation, which felt that it formed but one fatherland. The
national assembly was called upon to represent the right of
the German people to eo-operate in the management of their
public affairs, and to help to erect a bridge as it were between
old and new Germany. Such a mission was a glorious one,
but at the same time one well defined and legally limited.
During twelve months the German nation and the German
governments followed hoperully the proceedings of the
assembly, some of the decisions of which were even promul-
gated by tho government ; for example, the law relating to
bills of exchange. The assembly, in conjunction with the
princes of Germany, created a provisional central govern-
ment, which has worked beneficially for the nation, and
finally drew up a:constitution in which the governments, Par-
ticularly the Prussian one, discovered the foundation of a
confederate state—a plan corresponding with the wants and
wishes of the people as well as of the princes. These ser-
vices of the assembly were fully appreciated by the PrUSI.IIIII
government, which, moreover—through conci.iatory motives
—passed unnoticed at the time the occasional exceeding by
thst assembly of tjae limit of its privileges. Or late, it has
assumed a new position. After the constitution had bten

ROMAN STATES.—The Milan Gazette of the
13th inst. states that hostilities having recommenced
at Bologna after the armistice, the town has been
blockaded, and the wattrs of the aqueduct and the
canal of the Reno cut off, so that the town will have
speedily to tutrender for want of water and pro-
vibiolll.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 14th inst.,
contains some particulars about the renewal of the
attack upon Bologna on the 9111. Hostilities recom-
menced at noon and lasted till dusk. Tho Austrians
threw rockets upon the town front the suburb of San
Michale, and cannonaded it from the Palazzo Aldini.
A combined attack upon the Gathers. Felice, hale,
and Ssragozza gates, took place at the acme time;
all which were repulsed, while the Bolognese cannon
did great execution among the Austrians at the An-
nunziata. The Bolognese have 2,000 troops of the

DUBLIN, Mary 19.
The meeting of the council of the Royal Agricul-
tural Society of Ireland was occupied with a very
spirited debate on the propriety of tetaining Mr.
Edward Bullen, a member of the bar, as secretary.
The Duke of Leioster having pronounced a favourable
opinion, the council were governed by his grace's
view, and Mr. Buller wan again appointed secretary
by a vote of 21 to 10. In the half-surly report, the
council sp-ake favourably of the ir.fluence of the prac-

A fleet of ships, not less than 46 in number, ar-
rived on last Tuesday at the Cove of Cork. They
are all loaded with breadatuffe, the greater proportion
being maize, wheat, snd beans. The fact of their
arrival on the same day is the more odd, as tint y
cams from all parts of the world. Indian corn IA
Cork is dull in price in consequence.
The citizens of Cork are about to take active mea-
sures to establish wet docks on an extensive plan, so
' as to enable large vessels to unload at Cork without
taking the ground u now.
Mr. William Wiles has been appointed head
master of the school of design at Cork. He is an
artist of considerable taste and experience, and is
profoundly conversant with the theories of art, being
a very learned critic. The finest collection of draw-
ings of the Irish Round Tow. re is from hi‘per.cii,
and is of much value. Mr. Willes is a native of Cork,
bat has resided for the greater part of his life in
London, and his pen has been in various ways as
gracefully active as his pencil. His appointment
has given much satisfaction.

HAMBURG, MAT 15.
The news from Jutland is bare of interest. The
fortress of Fridricia, down to the 13th inst., con-
tinned in a state of siege by the Schleswig-Holstein
troops, who seem to be waiting for a further arrival
of heavy artillery. On the 13th the Danes made a
sally, bat were successfully forced back by the 2nd
battalion of Rifles and 7th and 9th Infantry, whose
lees only amounted to 2 men killed and 6 wounded.
The Prowling, who, according to the het authentic
accounts, bad occupied Horsene, are said to have
pushed forward as far as Aarhuus.
Meantime a letter from Berlin Oates that the
Prussian cabinet has invited the Danish government'
to send a delegate to Berlin, with a view of enterieg
upon fresh negotiations of peace there ; this, however,
moires confirmation.

IRELAND.

DUSLTN, MAT 25.
Lord Clarendon arrived yesterday from London,
accompanied by Dr. Cooke Taylor, and a portion of
the viceregal mite. On arriving at Holyhead his
Excellency embarked on board the Banshee, Admiralty
steamer, and there was a regular race between the
company's boat, the Scotia, just starting at de same
time, in which the latter was victorious, beating the
goverment boat by 15 minutes.
The Freeman's /swim, of this morning has a very
bitter article about the want of English subscriptions
for the dis'ress. It sneers at Lord Clarendon's sub-
scription of 1001., " the tenth part of what Mr.
Errington gave." It recalls the meeting of Dec. 3,
1835, in London, when for the relief of the distressed
protestant clergy the king gave 6001., and the queen
1001. In the meanwhile subscriptions are coming in
here with tolerable rapidity, when the circumstances
of the population are considered.
It is stated in the Limerick Examiner that a por-
tion of the county constituency intend to put Smith
O'Brien in nomination at the ensuing election, but
the high sheriff need not comply with the motion, as
the =dilate is a convict, and notoriously diequali-
fled from sitting in the House of Commons. The pe-
tition on behalf of the state convicts continues to be
signed. Several barristers have signed it, only one
Q.C., being the present candidate for Limerick, Mr.
Thomas Fitzgerald. The list of signatures, on the
whole, is by no means so respectable as was antici-
pated.
