the Bth to the 12th inst. she experienced a heavy
northerly gale. The American ship Patinas was at
St. Thomas discharging guns and ammunition for
the Chilian government. She was closely watched
by two Spanish war ships. The American consul
had sent to the admiral on the Haytian station for
a man-of-war to protect the Patinas.
In Chili the elections had passed off quietly. It
was expected that congress would devote much
attention to the reform of the constitution. A
stormy session was anticipated.

siderable transactions had taken place in produce.

WESTMINSTER DIOPIISAN FUND FOR POOR
CHILDREN.

The first annual meeting of the subscribers to
and the supporters of this fund was held lart evening in
the Hanover-square-rooms, under the presidency of Arch.
bishop Manning. There was a large attendance of the
Roman catholic clergy and laity of the metropolis, in-
cluding Lord Petre, Sir Charles Clifford, the Hon. Charles
Langdale, the catholic Bishop of Troy, Canon Oakeley,
Canon O'Neal, km Letters of apology were read from the
Earl of Denbigh and Lord lfdwarti Howard. The first yea's
report began by giving the financial statement, from which it
appeared that the sums contributed or promised in respond
to the pastoral of June 10 lad year, amounted in donations
to 4,402/. fie. 3d., and in snbecriptions to 3,3431. se. &L Of
the subscriptions, thestun of 1,5491. Ga. was for threeyears;
1,044/. 2s. for five years ; 1001. 10s. for ten years, and 049/.
without limit of time. A sum of 3,0001. Console had bees
invested, asthe beginning of the trust fund. The purposes
for which grants had been made were six in slumber, and
were as follows—miasion schools; diocesan schools, in-

eluding certified schools, such as ireformatorY, indutrial
and poor-law schools, aa well as orphanages and other
homes of refuge for destitute children; encounige-
meat of masters and pupil teacher. ; education of
destitute children ; miscellaneous grants for the encourage-
ment of schools and stipend of diocesan inspector and
secretary. During the past year the number of pupils in
the mission sehools,which had fallen off in previous years,
had been replaced, and there had been an actual increase
of no less than 1,100 children. Nine new schools had been
opened, and grants of hO/. a year for three years for the
formation of an additional school or schools bad been made
to the missions which were most iu ueed. Referring to
the reformatory schools, the committee stated that they
had reason to hope that en arrangement was in their power
by which an additional house in aid of the reformatory
school at Brook-green might be speedily °peeled,
and they were also glad to announce that the mil•
striate of the county of Middlesex had expressed
their readiness to transfer the catholic boys now
in the school at Feltham to catholic schools.
A large number had already been sent to Mount St. Ber-
nard's, and the remainder, which amounted to aboulay,
would be placed in the additional house in aid of
green Reformatory School. A large and spacious house in'
Essex, capable of receiving at once 100 boys, with nearly
seven sores of land, had been purchased for an industrial
school, to which St. Nicholas' school at Walthanietow
would be removed. The committee tendered an expra-
sion of thanks to the magistrates of the metropolitan
police courts for the great kiudness and courtesy with
which they had co-operated with them in placing
catholic children in those schools, and they hoped
they should soon possess fur those numerous cases suffi-
cient room, the want of which bad often seriously em-
barrassed the considerate action of the magistrates. A
considerable number of destitute children bad been re-
ceived from the workhouses and from the missions of the
diocese, towards the support of whom a uniform grant of
21. yearly a head had been charged upon the fund. Rim
grace referred in congratulatory terms to the increase of
pupils in the schools; and with respect to the detention of
catholic children in workhouses, said, the rapid and per-
ceptible change which public opinion in England on the
subject het undergone, made him believe that the legisla-
ture would speedily give them the justice they bad been
hitherto denied. Several addreass in support of the ob-
jects of the fund having been delivered by Lord Petri: and
others, the proceedings terminated.

A meeting of the Trades Unions Commissioners
was held yesterday at 1, Park-prospect, Great Queen-
street, Westminster—present, Right Hon. Sir William

Several resolutions were proposed in furtlienince of the
objects of the society, and a vote of thanks to the chair-

ever, was a lecture by Mr. T. Baines, the African
traveller, upon " The Victoria Falls on the Zambesi River." ,
The raiirrrsazione altogether was very successful.

BATH MISTING.-TCTIMAY.
The opening day of the above Irian Was chstaderised
cold weather, a Weer east wind blowing In the teeth of theta/
number of spestaton who had assembled un the course, withthe
true racing heroism which was new yet daunted by mime
phone skies. The_proatedlep oommested at two o'clock with
the Landadowne Trial Makes, which set the example for the
alterable fields which were to follow with only three ninuers.
The marvellous " miler," Clanger, made a Wolter example of
Crown ?Assoc and old Quota of Trumps, whose owners presumed
to oppose him ahead them both weight, and cantered ha
thirty leugths off hem. The " shosatiou" race of the
day followed in the Fillenth Biennial. This race was thought so
good a thing for Wroughton that odds were freely laid on Mr.
Cartetight's colt, upon the strength of his banjos run the preseut
Int favourite fur the Derby to a head at Newmarket. Never
was there a stronger came of " misplaced confidence" as
tugs hitherto dangerous "outsider" for the "bite
MUM" won with the most ridiculous ease by fifteen ledgthe.
His form certainly Justifies his owners enthusiastic remark
about the horse after his recent victory at Anal, width was to
the effect that "Van" was the best hue in Europe. What can
set in front of such a "clipper" over the Epsom Downs on Wed-
nesday next, will he a puzzle fur the intake! turf prophet cur
" foaled" to solve, notwithstanding that as much as 12 to 1 wag
obtainable about the slashing son of Veil Osten. The Two Year-
old Biennia proved the ' good awe it looked for Orinutsoi,
who landed the odds of leo to SO laid on him very cagily. The
Beaufort Cup resulted, as usual, In • great surprise, fur, not-
withetandag the form displayed by Mindoey, It was generally
supposed that he could not get the distance, and so mach ea
4to 1 was betted/ulna him, while 6 to 4 max laid on Lett u_reet
who was beaten "into Ste," thus showing what a change Lord
Bateman lost of camas off the theater Cup by one of thou
unfortunate saitumnips which are sure to take plan ever
the Roods* Course. Tumbler gave mother proof td his pre-
vious form In the County Members' elate, which con-
cluded an interesting dayt mot. As usual at this meet-
ing, there was some important belting on the Derby.
In addition to the movement which took place In connectiou
with Van Amburgh, some notable speculationarese about Vauban
and The Bake, the first named receding to so much as Ito 1, at
which price he was hacked for £lOO, mud would hair been sn
