DINNER.—Henry Allsopp, Esq., the senior member ~!

the chair at the approaching anniversary festival of the
above institution. The .felt will take place towards the
latter end of May.
OLD ENGLISH AND PATRI 'TIC SONGS.—Among the
most attractive of the numerous attractions offered at the
Polytechnic Institution is the musical lecture by Mr. G.
Buckland, with vocal illustrations of old English and
patriotic songs. Of the five songs which Mr. Buckland
sings, " Stand to your guns " is, to our mind, the most
powerfully rendered. His audience seemed to prefer
" The Old Politician," in which there is much scope for
dramatic action and mimetic display—of both of which
qualities Mr. B. is a master. We know no vocalist who
combines so completely the excellences of a sweet yet
powerful singer, and that perfect knowledge of his art
which can alone enable him to turn his voice to good
account. We hope yet to see him as popular in the
London concert room, and on its platforms, as he already
is throughout the provinces.
THE CORNWALL RAILWAY.—The works for the line
between Plymouth and the Tamar are being carried for-
ward with energy. The Royal Albert Bridge at Salt-
ash, which will throw the Menai Straits Bridge into
the shade, is also progressing satisfactorily. The
cylinder for the erection of the centre pier is now
on a perfect foundation as far as examined in the
11 compartments, the masonry for which was com-
menced on the 4th instant. Mr. Brunel, the engineer,
made a third inspection on Saturday last, remain-
ing' in the cylinder (under pressure, as it is techni-
cally termed) 1 hour and 12 minutes), on which occasion
what is termed the foundation atone was laid—and on
return to the surface ordered the works to be proceeded
with. The workmen employed remain below, a depth We have received the Moniteur of Yesterday,

DESPATCH FROM GEN. CL YROBERT.

GENERAL ORDER. —On 19th March a hollow projectile
discharged by the enemy, having fallen in the midst of a
group of men on guard, was on the point of exploding,
when its splinters would infallibly have struck several of
them ; upon which the Fusilier Antony Davoine, of tE a
21st Regiment of the Line, seized it with both hands,
and threw it over the trenches, behind which it exploded.
The General-in-Chief is happy at being able to honour
this courageous act by awarding, in the name of the,
Emperor the military medal to the Fusilier Davoine.
