Rector of Glasgow University. As these associatious are
both possessed of great influence there Is every probability of

ADDRESS TO LORD BROUGHAM AT DUNBAR.—It
having been leaned on the previous evening that Loud
Brougham would leave Edinburgh for England by the ex-
press train reaching hers at 11 a.m. on Fnday Isar, his ad-
mirers hurriedly got up a complimentary address, which was
signed by nearly 100 names, and presented to him by Mr.
Charles L. Sewers, in presence of a great many of the sub-
scribers. On the train reaching the station, it was received
by a hearty cheer is honour of his lordship, and Mr. Sewers,
followed by the subscribers, proceeded to the carriage of his
lordship end presented the Addeo's, for whi,'h he expressed
himself highly gratified, and stated to Mr. Sewers that when
he reached home he would return a reply. Mr. Sewers has
since received the following latter :—" Brougham-hall,

groat kindness. He values very much their good opinion,
end is thankful to them for referring to his 031211e110n with
the government of his revered, beloved, and lamented friend,

DE. LIVINGSTONE AND THE MISSIONAIT Ex-
PRDITIONI3.—Stnce the last mail, by which letters were re-
ceived from Dr. Livingstone announcing the discovery of
Lake Shirrs (twenty or thirty miles wide and fifty or sixty
i long), no furtherintelligence has reached us from the
Zambesi. A letter from Kurunisn, however, mentions that
the nameable irOssioury, Robert Moffatt, had left that
station for Moselekatat'a country twelve days before, and
news bad been received from him down to the 9th August
from Sieklagoli, which he and Me companion, Mr. Sykes
had reached, after a journey distinguished by the greatest
privations in coosequence of the went of water. They bad
pursued the track of the other two parties who had preceded
them, but had not met with any natives who had seen them.
Then were reports (according to the Argo') that hostilities
were imminent between the Matabeke and the Banzangwatoit,
and that Preterites had advised Bethel. not to allow Mr.
and Mrs. Thompson end Dr. Palerave to pan his territory,
as they had three cannons in their waggon for Matelekatze.

THE PERsIAN EMBASSY.—We understand that
the Persian Envoy, who has been for some months nettling
fa Parla, will arrive in London to-morrow. Rooms have
been taken for him at Claridge's Hotel, being the identical
apartments in which the former ambassador, k urrukh Khan,
resided. Horan Ali Khan is, we believe, permanently accre-
dited to the Courts of the Tuileries and St. James, but, it is
said, he will reside principally in Paris. on aocount of his
health. Us is in addition to his official grade, a nobleman of
the highest rank in Persia, beteg chief of a large and
powerful tribe, sad he holds beside a bleb position In the
army of the Shalt. He wee secourpanied to Europe by a
number of young Persians of good families who are now
studying in Paris, This speaks well for the progress of
Ideas in the kingdom rat " the Sophi." Persia wants but
the vivifying spark of European civilisation to become again
a great power end hold a prominent position, in Asia at least.

FIRES AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LlEF.—Yester-
day morning between one and two o'clock, considerable un-
nation was created in consequenee of the sudden outbreak of
a destructive fire at Mr. Morris Olmzoviec's chandler and

4880CIATION.

Yesterday evening a special general meeting of
the directors and members of the Warehousemen and Clerks'
Provident Association was held at the Loudon Tavern, for
the purpose of passing a rule which had been adopted,
electingadditional directors end to take into consideration
the desirability of holdings soir,..e and bell about the middle
of December next. Mr. Wore ensroote was in the chair.
The objects of this association are to provide for its
members :-1. A certain weekly sum when out of employ-
ment, ca account of sickness, and the vidasitudes of trade,
; the amount allowed to be in proportion to their sub-
scriptions, as per scale annexed. 2. To provide medical at-
tendance and medicines during skinnier. 3. To grant per-
manent relief to aged members, and members Incapacitated
from following their oconpations, by accident or any physical
or mental disease, and aseistance in any special came of die-
trees. Other advantage' also will result front the
association. Registers will be kept of situations vacant
and of members in want of situations, the seconary being
supplied with testimonials to chancier, and every information
being sought that shall aid the members in procuring employ-
ment. The yenta to aged and incapacitated members and
eminence in distress will be regulated according to the funds
of the wojarf, the moats forming a reserve fund, called the
" Beeevolent Fund," to meet those objects, and for which
special donations will be received. Members may contribute
to the benefits of the benevolent fend Moue by paying one
guinea per annum. A surgeon is appointed (Ur each district
in London and the neighboerhood, and the members have
the choice of any surgeon retained by the emaciation, to
whom they are empowered to apply In any ores of Mame.
The seniors of an eminent phyeician will also be engaged on
the advice of aay two of the society's surgeons, to attend on
any member in cane of severe illness, thus securing for every
member the beat possible medical attendance that London
can afford. The provision for incapacity and old age cannot
be too highly estimated, for all are liable to
become disqualified for active duties at any period of their
life, and, from accident or dies's', to be totally
Incapacitated from following their usual employment. The
members will be entitled to relief, If disabled, in 5 years,
fee old age in 20 years, if they shall have attained 60 yeses
of age. All persons are eligible to become members who
are above 18 and not above 50 years of age, and who, at the
time of their application, shall be employed, and shell have
held their situations at least three months, either as buyer,
commercial traveller salesmen, wareleimemen, ashler,
clerk, or book-keeper, in any warehouse, bank, areuranor
eoticiteeh teas, railway office, public institution, or engaged

drapery estebliebments, or clerk in any establishment, In
London, and within • circuit of 10 miles of the Exchange,

Car a member thereof will undoubtedly prove to be an
sentrances end guarantee that he will fill the situation en-
treated to him with honour and credit to himself and his
employers.
Mr. LOMAS, the secretary, read a short statement showing
that the samoistion had been already successful, a number of
members having joined It, and subscriptions and donations
to a considerable amount having been received. He also read
some saran' from a report of a similar Institution in Man-
chester, which had proved most beneficial to its member'. It
had been thought desirable to extend the operations of the
association and to casks it national in order that members
who might leave London should not be deprived of its
benefits in consequence of their removal from the metropolis,
and a resolution would be proposed with that object.
The rules which had been previously agreed upon were
thee read and formally paved.
The knowing resolutions ware then proposed and spend to :
" That this meeting believing that the efforts of the Lon-
don Warehousemen and Clerks' Provident Association are
calculated to do a great amount of good to the community at
large, and that by making the sasociation a nationel institu-
tion it would greatly tend to its Immense success, f o.oi YOB
that the association shall be made national from this time
and shall extend lie benefits throughout all parts of the
United Kingdom, and that it shall inane/forth be called and
known as the London Warehousemen and Clerks' National
Provident Anocistion Instead of the London Warehouse-
men and Clerks' Provident Association, ea heretofore."
" That a number of gentlemen named be added to the list
of directors,"
"That a soirée and ball for the benefit of the association
be held in December next." And . .

assaynilhe manes of the amociation be
adeertlited In the London papers, and that it eh•ll be read
at a public dinner to be held in the month of February or
March next."

(From t.he.gtit ft!as.)

The preparations that hive be;;lt some time in
progress for the Mayoralty Banquet, of the 9th November,
are now nearly completed, that re, as far is they can be so
far in advent* of the time. It Is no secret that Lord Mayor's
Show, as such, is in its decadence, banners and plush are less
and lees esteemed every year, at least In outward observances ;
and Mr. Alderman Carter, the Lord Mayor elect, has no inten-
tion to attempt • revival of what the age has unmistakably
pronounced to be superfluous and unnecessary. The perm-
'ion his declined since Mr. Alderman Mechl gave it charac-
ter by a display of agricultural machinery. Batty's horses
will display their piebald flanks and streaming silken tails no
more, but the show will be contracted year by year, perhaps,
till it at last asses to be a show at all. The preeent Mete of
smangemente for the celebration may be very briefly desaibed.
The procacion, as just remarked, will be as simple as pealible,
without too feebly violating tiros-hallowed usages. There
will be no special feature of interest, but the companies will
be represented es usual, and established forms adhered to.
The Goya of she Chelsea Military School and the boys of the
Maine Society will not take part in it. The room will be
chosen as direct ea possible, and, as ell the world knows,
Were will be no procession on the river. At Guildhall the
usual slim of festivity wail be exhibited, and the decorations
will be but slightly varied from the order observed on pre-
vious ominous. They will be under the superintendence of
Mr. Bunning, the City arobitect, who will display his
excellent taste without stint, Were being no intention
to 'educe, in even the smallest degree, the splendour
and liberality of the banquet. The presentation
of the Lord Mayor elect to the Lord Chancellor
will take place on Wednesday next, at Swatheden Home,
Knightsbridge, at 11 in the forenoon. The Aldermen
are summoned to attend at Guildhall, in their violet gowns,
at 9 o'clock. to accompany the Lord Mayor elect Wither.
The Lord Mayor elect has seen supplied by Messrs. Laurie
and Mamer, of 313, Oxford-street, with a state coach painted
• rich blue, and fine lined white and Aver, with handsome
silver mountings. It is lined and full Padded with drab
figured silk, with broad drab lace, to correspond with festoon
sun-blinds. It is suspended on a fashionable perch carnage,
with under springs and carved blocks, and has • handsome
standard box, and carved bind standards; a lull-molted
seat-cloth of blue, with silver ornaments. The footmen-
holders ate of lace. The body is emblazoned with the arms
of the company, the private arms of Mr. Alderman Carter,
end the City Irma, with supporters and ornaments hand-
somely painted on panels. The four horse harness is of a
most elegant pattern, with richly-chased mountings and
ornaments attached. The coachmen's and footmen's bats
are being made by Messrs. Gaimee, Sanders, and Nicol of
Birchin•latie, and will be trimmed with rich silver lace, of the
same pattern as that on the coma, with the crest embriedered
on the front; the feathers are amber and white. The
postilions' cape will also be trimmed with silver Woe, and
rich bullion silver tassels at the aide*, with the Lord Mayors
crest mounted on the top. The banquet will be in no way
shorn of it, customary splendour, nor will any detail be
omitted which wight be neceseery to render it complete, as
an example of civic hospitality. The viands and wines are to
be of the best, and are to be supplied by Mean.. Staples., of
the Albion, who have given such great satialaction on ranter
occasions. The dinner service, amongst which are the enor-
mous number of 220 soup tureene, will be entirely of one
pattern, as will aleu the plate and gam to be used on the
«cumin. We mention this tact, because, we believe, Messrs.
Staples are the only persoas able to accomplish such a thing.
Then will be two quadrille bands to perform epee Aintree,
and the Orpheus Glee Club and several eminent leading
mealier, are engaged for the entertainment of the company.
The upholstery will be supplied by Messrs. Herring and
Son; the gas fitting', by Messes. Lowe; the de:undone, by
Mr. Pastes; and Mr. Bonnie( will have the general super-
kilendenoe of the whole. TM tickets fur the dinner will be
issued after Monday next. It should be added, as the publio
are still in doubt on the subject, that the Prince of Waks
will not come of age on the 9W, nor until he is 21.
