In the great increase made by the metropolis of late years,
the residential and domestic wants of a large class of the
community have been overlooked. Whilst aristocratic clubs
have multiplied, and model lodging-houses for the working
classes have been erected in different localities, the conve-
nience of the middle classes, in this respect, has been wholly
forgotten ; and it is the object of the Council of the Residen-
tial Clubs Company to supply that desideratum by the erec-
tion of suitable buildings, combining comfort with economy.
On this subject the leading article in the "Times" of the
28th April observes :
" Clubs are one of the most remarkable and beneficial pro-
ducts of modern civil) sation, and their advantages are not
nearly developed. Among the upper classes they exercise
the same control over the condu t and deportment of men as
general society exercises over the conduct of women. A
man with black mark upon his character has no chance of
getting into a respectable club ; a man who does a dis-
honourable act is expelled from his club. The clubs, with
their ballots, their committees, and their power of expulsion,
keep up the tone of manners in this country. They are
courts of honour as well as large families of equals. We
should like to see associations exercising a like influence
among the middle classes and among the workmen. We
should like to see them a test of characrer as well as a means
of comfort to the humble, as they are to the wealthy."
The object of the Residential they
Company is to provide
bachelors of limited income with gentlemanlike abodes, in
the metronolis and suburbs, embracing meat of the advan-
tages of the principal club-houses, thus combining style,
comfort, society, and amusements with economy. At present,
the cheer' ssness of hired lodgings, and the want of society,
to) often induce the desire to seek amusement at question-
able places of public resort.
MODE or OPERATION.
It is proposed to purchase or take upon leases sufficient
ground in London and the suburbs, easy of access by rail and
road, and thereupon to erect commodious and substantial
edifices, each building to contain a sufficient number of cham-
bers (all having fire-places), club, dining, reception, and read-
ing rooms, kitchens, baths,and other conveniences ; the whole
to be completely and appropriately furnished, including
plate, linen, and all requisites for domestic use.
The Suburban Residential Clubs will be surrounded b
gardens, cricket and archery
grounds, &o. A sufficient staff
of domestic servants will be provided, suitably attired.
The rent of the chambers will vary, from 30 to 50 guineas
per annum.
A fixed moderate tariff will be tublished, and a table
d'hdte served at separate hours, thus will the members have
entire control over their daily expenditure.
The reading room will be supplied with writing materials
and copies of the principal London journals, reviews, and
Other periodicals.
A laundry' Will he established upon an economical footing,
and thus enable the members to have their washing performed
at a lower rate than they otherwise could do.
The Council v,lll be invested with power to make and
publish bye-laws for the regulation and good order of the
establishment.
The advantages to be derived from the operations of the
Company are security against impositio i, facility and cer-
tainty in the administration of a small income, the indepen-
dence of a home in an establishment of high order and
character, amusements hitherto attainable only by the
wealthy, nd a sate and profitable investment for capital, on
which, from careful estimates, a net profit of from 12 to 15
per cent. may be confidently anticipated.
There will be an entrance fee of two guineas, and an annual
subscription of two guineas.
From registered proprietors of not less thanlo shares, who
may desire to reside at the Clubs, and who shall be duly
elected, no entrance fee will be required. They will also have
the preference in the selection of any rooms which may be
vacant.
It is the intention of the Council to commence operations
by the erection and opening of one suburban building with
as little (lelay as p ssible. Two sites have already been pro-
posedet uous to the Crystal Palace, and within five
minutes' walk -
c011'.4
of the railway stations to London-bridge, Far-
ringdon-street. Charing-ere:es, and Victoria-street. Other
arrangements her efici al to the members are in contemplation.
Plans of the first buildingbuildin will be shortly ready at the
offices of the Coany.
The Council have already received notice of applications for
the allotment of over 4,000 shares.
The liabilit
of shareholders is limited to the amount for
which they subscribe.
Applications for shares may be made in the usual form to
the bankers, solicitors (I)lessrs. Scott and Silvester, brokers,
s,
7, Lotlibury). or to the secretary of the company ; but no ap-
plicafion will be entertained unless the deposit of 10s. per
share shall have been previously made to the bankers of the
company. This sum will be returned in full in the event of
no allotment being made.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which Is accom-
pm:lied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great, metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 reds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our Yellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,0t0 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued supp t,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

present arrived, for he evidently entertained no hope
of their producing immediately ths desired result.
Indeed, considering the self-confident and sanguine
tone which g,enerally characterises his lordship's an-
nouncements to the b unseen the subject of his foreign
policy, there was something touchingly
appealing in
his peroration—" I ask with humility, because I
feel how incapable lam of conducting affairs of
such great difficulty, but being responsible for the
conduct of these negotiations, I do venture to
ask your lordships to pause at this time, and
to await the result of further communications."
That these communications have been mode with the
best intentions and in a most pallier spirit we do
not doubt ; that they ought to hale been made with
the view of clearing the
ground is also extremely,
probable ; but that " when her Majesty's Govern-
ment fearlessly produces to Parliament the results
at which they have arrived," they will be " obliged
to say that, after all our efforts, ye have failed in
obtaining those advantages which the Poles had
expected to gain," we most confidently predict. The
Government will then feel, when the exhaustive
process has been completed, that the
question will
have been cleared of many of the difficulties which
now complicate it, and will pres( at itself for solu-
tion under another form. Lord Russell apparently
has very little confidence in the armistice which has
been proposed being accepted, The question whe-
ther it is possible to have an armstice or not is sur-
rounded by immense difficulties. It is surrounded
by such immense difficulties as makes me hesitate
to give any assurance to the noble earl that we can
come to any satisfactory termination of the discus-
sion." We have already pointed out what those
difficulties were. If the ermistice is allowed to take
the form of an amnesty, it will be unanimously re-
jected by the Poles. The only armistice which they
are likely to accept must be based upon two condi-
tions—one, that they are allowed to retain their
arms, and the military advantages, whatever they
may be, which they now enjoy; the other, that the
armistice should be extended to every point not
merely of the kingdom, but in the provinces where
any insurrectionary movement exists. This will be
paractically recognising them as belligerents,
and will give them an opportunity during the
interval of negotiations of taking advan-
tage of the respite to raise money, import
arms and ammunition, and consolidate their
system of civil government to which no armistice
could apply; it would entitle them to a national flag,
and would in many respects place them in a much
more favourable position for the resumption of hos-
tilities, more especially if the armistice could be
protracted over the winter. Under these circum-
stances it is not likely that the Russians will con-
sent to a description of armistice which would only
be agreed to by the Poles as a measure of strategy;
for the chances of any favourable solution of the
question by the discussion of the six points pro-
posed by Austria are infinitesimal. Already a diffie
culty has arisen with respect to the second point,
and Austria has been obliged to submit that the
assimilation of Poland to Galicia with reference to
national representation did not correspond to the
spirit of the treaties of 1815. By those treaties a
distinction was made between the kingdom and
the provinces. To the former the Emperor Alex-
ander granted an independent constitution and a
national army, while to the Austrian and the Prus-
sian, no less than to the Russian Polish provinces,
national institutions and a national representation
were intended by the treaties to be accorded.
While, Caerefore, Austria might stipulate that so
far as the provinces were concerned they should
have institutions granted to them similar to those
conceded by her to Galicia, the kingdom would not
be satisfied with any such limited measure of con-
cession. In fact, it./is extremely doubtful whether,
if the treaties of 1815 were complied with in the
most liberal sense, and those national institutions
which it was evidently the intention of Europe to
guarantee were recognised, the Poles would now
be satisfied: But inasmuch as the proposals of
Austria fall far short of this, we may take it for
granted that even if the weighty matter of the
armistice were settled, negotiations would break
down upon the points which would still have to be
considered, more especially as it would be in the
interest of Poland only to entertain them in order
to improve her military position. Russian states-
men cannot be blind to these considerations; and
while, therefore, we do not see what other course
it was open for the Government to pursue under
the circumstances, we cannot hope from it a solu-
tion of the difficulty. Meanwhile Austria has shown
a very proper sense of the obligation she is under
to adopt a decided policy in a matter in which she
is most nearly concerned, and we trust that she will
be induced, by the support which has been accorded
to her efforts thus far, to take a course which may
conduce to the settlement of the Polish question in
a way satisfactory to that nation, while it will give
her an opportunity of contrasting the services she
with

THE SUN", LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1863,

HERALD.--The citizens of London have been
showing the illustrious Princess who is one day, in
the natural order of things, to hold the sceptre of
the British Isles, that the enthusiastic devotion
which greeted her reception amongst us three
months ago is part of that old-fashioned loyalty
which suffers little from the influence of time.
From Marlborough House to the Guildhall the
metropolis poured out its countless crowds of ad-
miring spectators, and the welcome that greeted
the Royal lady on her first arrival amongst us
from the home of her fathers lost none of its warmth
through the intermediate experience we have had
of the merits that later have been justifying it.
The visit to the City
magnates was marked by
none of the contretemps which
the gaieties and triumph which marked cast a shade over
marked the proces-
sion and illuminations that did honour to the
reception of the Princess and the marriage of the
Royal pair. All that a careful and long-sighted
organisation could do to secure order in the visit
and return was brought under requisition, and all
that money could effect to make the Guildhall
worthy of the historical pageant of which it was the
scene bestowed with a profuse hand and an amount
of taste not usual in civic festivities. Our reporters
have already done justice to the decorations of the
Guildhall. The reception hall is admitted to have
been a model of good taste in the most splendid of
its developments. The predominant hue, a light
cream or stone colour, assisted the appropriate deco-
rations to an essay relief ; and the mirrors and storied
tapestries, set off with draperies of crimson, under
thethe georuapcefau,lceairicheuesitoedf ttheeaoßldeyhaalll, supplied exactly
reception. The
splendour, however, which reigned in proportions
more or less modest through the rest of the edifice
culminated, we are told, in the central ha, where
hall,
all that the picturesque beauty of the ancient con-
struction could receive of decoration from modern
taste was added with an artistic effect that made the
Scene more like the realisation of some Painting by
thein gand
n. B
the romancist than the meeting place of a London
e
corporationhttboednoeahthoneoll the honour to their future
eretK,
spec-
tacle and festive pleasures of the entertainment lay
u
the subtle meaning and wiser lesson of a political
event. Whatever the homage of the City to their
illustrious visitors, there was a higher return from
the Prince and Princess to the City. It was a
revival of the old link between the reigning dynasty
and the spirit of free institutions, as impersonated
in the municipalities of the day. The compact
of the City of London with their Princes, and the
aids which they so often rendered in emergencies
when the existence of the monarchy was in
question, were always based on the consideration
of respect for those local privileges and liberties
which, descending to our own time, have only lost
their special value by their. gradual diffusion
through the rest of the community. the commer-
cial spirit has always been favourable to the deve-
lopment of freedom. Among our ancestors was
shown the happy art of reconciling a full share of
municipal privileges with tne prerogatives of the
Sovereign, and the earliest of our records point out
London as acquiring in its local government privi-
leges which, while givingit almost the aspect of a
republic in a monarchy, induced little jealousy and
no serious opposition of the regal power. In our
day the relation of the Sovereign with municipali-
ties is rather one of social ties than of political in-
terests. The meeting of the City with its Princes,
where it is not a private tribute to traditional
associations, is now a linking together of the three
orders of the State, and a graceful acknowledgment
on the part of the Crown that its rights merge in
the duties of the position, and that whatever the
inequalities of station between the grades of society
there is a common ground on which all may meet
for the cultivation of the good understanding on
which all our well-being depends. It is our duty,
however, to remark, that the due effect of one of
these great occasions of state ceremonial is hardly
given when a personage . in the position of the
Prince of Wales is found the first guest of the
greatest' City in the world with the chief Ministers
of the Crown virtually discrediting the visit by
making their absence the most prominent fact of the
entertainment. We are not bound to know what are
the precise relations of the Government with the

authorities of the City,
as it may very well be that
the mismanagement which marked the procession
and illuminations, and the attempts mnde at the
Home Office to acquire the control of the City
police and new-model the corporation charities,
have not produced the best feeling between the tw o
governing bodies. But the squabbles of adminis-
trative government should import no disrespect to
the Executive, and in a public festival historical in
its importance and specially intended to do honour
to the Heir Apparent and his charming bride, it
might be expected that the Ministers of the Crown
would have taken care not to have missed their
becoming share in the loyal greeting. The adjourn-
ment of the houses at an early hour made the
courtesy easy, and the country will not be disposed
to interpret very charitably so remarkable a slight
on the Royal pair, unless Ministers are prepared
with a better explanation than that suggested
either by their misunderstanding with the corpora-
tion or their unwillingness to permit the event to
be made the stepping-atone to those honours to cor-
porate authorities which it is customary for the
Crown to bestow on such occasions.

STAMPED

Dundonald was without a stain of dishonour of any
kind from ber birth. The learned counsel then
went on to show how Lord Cochrane met with her
ladyship when a gill of sixteen, and proposed to
elope with her, and did so. His lordship had
thought fit to conceal this marriage for five or six
years. He was then married in England, and again
in Edinburgh. In 1847 there was tome dispute
about the Cluntets of Dundonald being presented
at Court ; and Lord Spencer, the then Lord Cham-
berlain, had the subject investigated, and her lady-
ship was presented at Court, and had been the
acknowledged guest of her Majesty. Would the
noble lords stigmatise this lady as a forger, a con-
spirator, and something else he would not name ?
With regard to this man Jackson's evidence, he
called their lordships' attention to the fact that
when Jackson stated that her ladyship had said she
would become the mistress of the old man Basil
Cochrane, she had just been confined of her first
child. Sir Fitzroy then read a letter written by
Lord Dundonald in 1814 to his wife, in which he
signs himself "your affectionate regard." With
regard to the description in the second marriage of
bachelor and spinster, how (contended Sir Fitzroy)
could they be described in any other way ? They
were going to be married again. Why, a Lord
Chancellor, an Archbishop of Canterbury, and hosts
of noble lords had done the same thing. Was Lord
Dundonald a more discreet man than Lord Eldon,
who had done the same thing when remarried in
in England ?
After some other remarks, the further hearing
was adjourned till Monday next.
