ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

Yesterday Earl Du Grey and Ripon presided at
the anniversary meeting of the above society,
held at the Hanover-square Rooms. A large num-
ber of ladies attended the meeting, and among the
gentlemen on the platform were—Sir W. Fraser,
SirW, Stirling, M. de Chateauneuf, and M. de Ces-
ceau (who attended as a deputation from France),
Mr. M. Gore, Mr. T. E. Baker, &c. The chairman
stated that he had great pleasure in introducing to
the meeting two gentlemen who had attended at
the express direction of the Emperor of the French.
M. de Chateauneuf then read an address congratu-
lating the Royal Humane Society upon its success
during the past century, and thanking it for the aid
it had rendered in the establishment of a similar
society in France. There were several societies in
France for the saving of life, and during the last
nine years 3,100 persons had been saved on its
couts from shipwrecks and different sea accidents,
4,500 from accidents on rivers, 790 from fire, and
mere than 1,000 from other accidents. These
societies bad received the direct sanction of the
Emperor of the French Government. After a few
words from M. do Cesceau, who handed in a
diploma and medal of the French society, the chair-
man said, he rejoiced to hear that a society similar
to their own had been formed in France, and that
they bade the deputation a hearty welcome to Eng-
land. He thought they did great honour to this

Mr. Young, the secretary, then read the
report, of which the following are a few brief
extracts :—During the past year 221 cases of
immersion, attended with risk to the lives of 270
persons, had been brought under the notice of the
society, and of these 222 were successfully treated,
the remaining 48 having been past recovery, of which
23 were cases of attempted suicide. During the
same pericd the society conferred as rewards of gal-
lantry to whose who risked their lives to save the
lives of their follow-creatures 23 honorary silver
medals, 77 honorary bronze medals, 2 vellum and
57 parchment testimonials, besides 81 pecuniary re-
wards. In the past 12 months 369,139 persons had
bathed in the Serpentine River without one fatal
accident having occurred, notwithstanding that there
had been as many as 52 casualties, including 11

his master may wish.
The reduction of the army of occupation is a
visible fact, which hardly admits of more than one
interpretation—it surely means that the EMPEROR
wishes to show himself as less, directly, powerful
in Rome and Italy than hitherto. No one supposes
that he will frankly and generously leave the
Italians to settle their own affairs before time and
circumstances force him to do so. He appears, how-
ever, to see that the time is approaching when he
must make up his mind whether he will, before all
Europe, continue to be the festering sore in the side
of Italian independence and good government, or
give the nation its last rights—nights so long and
doggedly withheld. The Conatitutionnel gives us some
mysterious explanations, if such they can be called—
" Does," it asks, " this imply that the solution of
the great problem may be expected from day to
day ? No. Those who expect an immediate solu-
tion are no less under an illusion than those who
expect a return to an impossible past." Diplomacy,
it remindsus, is slow in its workings; but:theEmPE-
ßOß is loyal both to the POPE and to Italy—" The
objects to be"—says the Constitutionnel—" attained
and guaranteed are the safety of the Holy Father,
and the legitimate interests of Italy. Such is the
double object followed by the policy of France, and
we shall have made a great step towards the solu-
tion so eagerly yearned for by many men when
France will no longer find herself in presence of an
insuperable non possumus,' and when the Court of
Rome will consent no longer to treat a political
question as a religious dogma." The best instruc-
tion in the whole affair, we doubt not,
is that furnished by the withdrawal of part of the
French troops—when the whole are withdrawn the
lesson will be complete. M. LAVALETTE may
reason and expostulate, but all will be ineffective
compared with the entire withdrawal of French
crutches, and enabling the Holy Father to walk
alone. He is well able to do it, provided he lay
down his secular burdens, or place them on the
shoulders which ought to bear them.
But there seems to be another reason why the
French should just now quit Rome. If we are to
credit the latest correspondents, they not only are
in Mexico, but are wanted there. Now, A:

ACUILLE FOULD finds it an almost, if not quite,
impossible task to make ends meet as things now
stand. The occupation of Rome has been one of the
chief causes of the deficiencies of the French budget.
How will M. FOULD meet the charge for Mexico,
es well as Rome and Algeria ? From the latter the
EMPEROR cannot withdraw. At Rome all the
population and ali Italy wish him farther off; while
Mexico is said to be welcoming his army with open
arms. Quit Rome and go to Mexico, then, seems
to be the dictate of common sense. There La
Puebla, with its fifty thousand people, illuminates
to welcome the French soldiers ; at Reme they
would illuminate on bidding them farewell for ever

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH ITALY;

A report on this subject, containing and endorsing
the recommendations and suggestions of various
commercial firms of Liverpool, was read at the meet-
ing of the council of the Liverpool Chamber of Com-
merce yesterday. It stated that the export duty
was a matter of great complaint on the part of
firms engaged in the sulphur trade, and acted very
materially against the consumption of the article
in England, inasmuch as Spanish arid other pyi tes,
containing a large quantity of sulphur, could be im-
ported at less cost. It was recommended that the
export duty should be repealed, or the duty very
considerably reduced. Sudden alterations in the duty
were also complained of, as they interfert,d with the
business, which was chiefly conducted by contracts.
It was suggested that if any duty was contiDued,
sufficient notice of alteration should be given to the
merchants. It was also suggested that the duty
should be collected as soon as the brimstone was re-
ceived at the coast, and that warehouses and sheds
should be established at the shipping ports for the
reception of the brimstone after it had been bought.
With regard lo the export duty on olive oil, the
document stated that the treaty now being arranged
between France and Italy provided for an advanta-,
geous adjustment of this duty, and the committee
therefore admitted that Great Britain should have'
the same advantages as other nations. With respect
to the export duties on alkalies, it appeared that the
Alkali Association of Lancashire and Cheshire had
submitted a memorandum to the effect that as suoist
of the various articles might be considered as sole
used in the manufacture of other articles, and ther-
fore did not enter into immediate consumption, their
abolition would doubly benefit the Italian people ;

under canvas. On Friday a squadron of the 6th
Dragoon Guards, under the command of Major
Bott, arrived from Dorchester, and on the following
day the headquarters and three other squadrons,
under the command of Lieut.-Col. Sawyer, arrived.
The regiment which is commanded by Col. Jones
C. 8., is quartered in the South Cavalry barracks. :
The 60th Regiment (Rifles) were officially in-
spected yesterday morning on Southsea-common,
Portsmouth, by Major-General Lord W. Paulet,
C.B. They went through the usual evolutions of
an inspection in a very creditable manner. At the
conclusion his lordship addressed the regiment. He
approved their system of drill, and considered their
marching to be very good. In a very short time he
had veay little doubt they would be as perfect in
this respect as could be desired. They were not
large men, but he did not care about big men for
Riflemen. The marching past was exceedingly
good, but he saw some men looking on the ground,
which he did not approve. The movements had
been gone through well, and with regularity
mo. They
had just come from China with plenty of ney in
their pockets, and their conduct, on the whole, had
been very good. He should feel a pleasure in
re-
porting very favourably of them to his Royal High_
look m
ness the Commander-in-Chief. When they obtained
theif
niw clothing they would, of course,much
better in a body than they did now, wearing, as they
were compelled•to do, two different aniforms.
The Meg era screw troopship, commander Hen-
derson, embarked yesterday the remainder of the
2d battalion of the 18th Regiment, under the com-
mand of Brevet-Lieut.-Col. Carey, and two batteries
of Royal Artillery, from Dover, under the supervi-
sion of Lord W. Paulet and Staff, for conveyance to
Alderney. She sailed last evening, and returns from
Alderney to Portsmouth with the troops relieved.

PATENT LAWS.

Lord PROBY, comptroller of Royal household, appeared
at the bar of the house, and addressing the Speaker, said
—" I am the bearer of a message from her Majesty,in reply
to an address from this house praying for a commission to
inquire into the present laws relating to letters patent of
invention, and her most gracious Majesty has directed such
commission to issue."
London, England, 1862-06-03

What is to be the issue of the movement at Rome ?
We should reply—probably for an indefinite time
to come, just what we now see. The important
change is, that but a small division of French
troops will henceforth maintain -the occupation
that General GOTON gives place to General Count
MONTEBELLO, and M. LATALETTE returns, to do
his best in instructing His Holiness and Cardinal
ANTONELLI in the duties of their position. As to
the Count, both parties professing to claim him as
leaning to their views, we must either suppose him
to have no marked prepossessions, or not to have
discovered them ; and hence, to be the proper per-
son, as an uncommitted, man, to act any part which

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the proprietors was held in
accordance with the standing orders of Parliament at the
London Tavern, Bishopgate-street, for the purpose of sub-
mitting for their approval of the following bills :-
1. A Bill to confer powers upon the Eastern Counties
Railway Company wiih respect to the Epping Railways,
and to authorise the oonstruction of a railway at Colchester.
2. A Bill for making a railway to be called "The Totten-
ham end Hampstead Junction Railway."
3. A Bill to amalgamate the Eastern Counties, the East
Anglian, the Newmarket, the Eastern Union, and the
Norfolk Railway Companies.
The chair was occupied by H. Love, Esq., chairma-.4 o f
the board of directors.

The first two bills were agreed to unanimously.
On the third bill, which was for the amalgamation of the
Eastern Counties with the above-mentioned lines, a dis-
cussion arose relative to the advisability of the proposed
amalgamation. The Bill was ultimately agreed to, with
only two dissentients.

MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

During the last few days there has been very
little activity in the markets for Foreign and
Colonial Produce, tea has remained dull at previous
prices, while sugars have slightly declined owing to
extensive arrivals. Coffee, rice, and fruit have con-
tinued without material change in values, while
tallow, owing to recent large arrivals from Aus-
tralia, has been depressed, notwithstanding the
advices from St. Petersburg reporting increased
firmness in the market there. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 405., and for last three months' delivery, 465.
3d. per cwt.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday again
presented a rather active appearance, and prices
exhibited increased firmness. The sales were about
12,000 bales.

A further withdrawal of £300,000 was effected
at the Bank yesterday for transmission to Con-
stantinople on account of the Turkish Loan.
The Ripon, which sails to-morrow with the East
India China mail, will take out £162,785 in specie.
The annual meeting of the South Australian
Banking Company will take place on the 17th
instant.

The sum of £2,489 has been received on account
of the New Granada Dividend Fund.
There was a decrease of £lO,OOO in the traffic
receipts of the Brighton Railway, and of £624 on
the South Eastern for the past week.
London, England, 1862-06-03

the Commons—althour‘h there was no attempt at a
division, no, 'Alit at an'y immediate opposition—when
the Bill was read a second time, and was then or-
dered to be committed on Monday the sixteenth
instant (Monday week, that is), Sir HUGH CAIRNS,
it will be perceived from the Commons Report of
last night, gave notice that upon that day (the 16th
inst.) he should move that the bill be referred to a
Select Committee I Considering how far the session
has already advanced, and that then on Monday
week next it will be pretty well a fortnight older,
in the event of Sir HUGH CAIRNS' motion being
carried, there will be small prospect indeed, in
point of fact, no visible or appreciable prospect
whatever, of anything further being done in its
regard before the date of the prorogation. Refer
the Bill, as Sir HUGH CAIRNS suggests, to a Select
Committee in the middle of June, and what possible
likelihood will there be of the report of that Select
Committee being laid upon the table of the Com-
mons in sufficient time before the rising of the
houses early in August to admit of the suggestions
embodied in that same Report being
applied to the measure, and to allow of
the measure so revised being referred again to
the consideration of the House of Lords ? It is the
' idlest, vaguest hope that could well be. The fate
of the Bill already appears to be pronounced. And
considering the generous aid given by the now
Chancellor (when he sat in the House of Commons
as Sir RICHARD BETHELL) to the framer of the
original draft of a Land Transfer Bill in 1858-1859,
one might regard Lord WESTBURY'S comment upon
Sir HUGH CAIRNS'S threatened stab on the 16th, to
be as pathetically reproachful almost as Et to
Bnote ! It is diamond cut diamond, however, Sir
HUGH is possibly jealous that another should
mount the hobby he himself was the first to trot
out and show the paces of. Besides in one sense
the proposed reference of the Bill to a Select Com-
mittee of the Commons is really and truly little
more than a pendent to what was done early in
the session by the law lords—the majority of
whom, Liberals and Conservatives alike, were
the rigid censors of the learned Chan-
cellor's carefully deliberated proposition. Modi-
fied though the Bill was in the Upper House
in obedience to one or two of the more urgent sug-
gestions thrown: out by those law lords—to Lord
WESTBURY'S manifest and very comprehensible i
vexation—the Bill, though thus altered, is not '
sufficiently so even yet, to please the severest censor
of all, the hon. and learned gentleman, the ex-Soli- 1
citor General, under the late DERBY Government. I

And so the matter promisee to close this session
again, by the quiet device of referring the whole
question once more to the consideration of a Select

Committee.

THE CANCER HOSPITAL, BROMPTON.

The first annual festival in commemoration
of the openibg of the new Hospital for Cancer
at Brompton was held last night at Willis's Rooms ;
Mr. lohn Abel Smith in the chair. There were
also present Sir George Bovt,yer, M.P., Rev. Horatio
Roberts, Dr. Marsden, Mr. Hoare, &c.
The usual loyal toasts having been disposed of,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the toast of the even-
ing, "Success to the Cancer Hospital." It was an
institution, he said, which was connected with all
that was most painful and distressing in the history
of human suffering, and he, therefore, felt sure that
he should have no difficulty to encounter in recom-
mending it to the sympathies of those by whom he
was surrounded. It was very extraordinary that
notorious as had been the existence of the disease,
of which 7,000 persons died annually, and of which
on an average at least 30,000 were suffering, yet
until very lately there had not been in existence an
institution in which cancer could be treated as a
specialty. It was scarcely possible to conceive that
in a community so chivalrous and so charitable as
Great Britain, a disease which affected fifteen, six-
teen, or seventeen women for one man, should be
allowed to remain without a special hospital for its
treatment. It was to the energy and philanthropy
of Dr. Marsden that they were indebted for the
foundation of such an institution. In 1851 the
doctor founded the Cancer Hospital, in Cannon-
row, for the reception of six patients, and as time
went on they were enabled, owing to the bene-
ficence of a generous public, to offer increased faci-
lities to persons wishing to avail themselves of the
advantages of such an institution. There were
some persons who objected to special hospitals;
but in a community like that of London they be-
came necessary, as the same disease presented itself
under a variety of forms could not fail to arrest the
attention of the medical staff, and to them the pro-
fession were sure to appeal. The same arguments
which were used against an hospital in which chil-
dren could inhale fresh air had been urged against
the present hospital, but with the same want of suc-
cess. In a country district special hospitals might
be objectionable, but in such a place as the metro-
polis they became an actual necessity ; for it was to
the experience of the members of the profession re-
siding in
,the metropolis the provincial surgeons
looked for guidance in the treatment of all compli-
cated diseases, and without the aid of special hos-
pitals it was impossible thai such diseases could be
either fully or accurately studied.
A liberal donation of about £5OO followed the
appeal of the chairman.
The musical arrangements were under the man-
agement of Mr. Ransford, who was ably supported
by his daughter, Miss Barrow, and his son. On
more than one occasion the singing of Miss Grace
Barrow elicited general applause.

THE NA VY.

The works connected with the construction of the
iron frigate Achilles, 51, building at Chatham, are
rapidly advancing, and nearly the whole of the iron
ribs, answering to the timbers in a wooden vessel,
are in their place. There is still a want of both
angle, bulkhead, and plate iron, the deliveries from
the contractors not keeping pace with the require-
ments. The large sternpost, one of the largest
forgings ever prepared in this country, has been
forged by an eminent firm in the north, but it
was yesterday announced in the dockyard that
the officials appointed by the Admiralty had con-
demned the sternpost in consequence of the dis-
covery of a serious flaw in the iron in an important
part. This will cause a considerable loss of time,
as several months will elapse before another equally
large sternpost can be prepared. In consequence
of the factory at the eastern end of the yard not
being completed some portion 3f the machinery for
preparing the plates for the Royal Oak has been
fixed in the factory in which the workmen on the
Achilles are employed.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commander F. D. Rich,
additional, to the Victory, for service in the Black
Prince; Edward M'Sorley, surgeon, to the Cor-
-1 morant ; James Thomson, assist.-surgeon, additional,
to the Fisgard ; W. H. C. Pooke has been nomi-
nated to a naval cadetship; George R. Beer, in the
Hawke, for the Advice, confirmed as 2d-class assist.-
engineer ; and William Hair, in the Magpie, con-
firmed as 2d-class assist.-engineer.

Presse publishes the following :
" Said Pasha left Pala this morning, at 11 o'clock, vith
his suite, for London. The Viceroy will stop the night at
Boulogne. Before leaving the Pavilion Marson his High-
ness offered numerous and rich presents to the persons who
attended upon him.

" A despatch from New Orleans has been received at
Paris, announcing that M. Mejean, the French Consul
there, has laid a most energetic protest against the viola-
tion of his domicile when the victorious troops entered thas

city."

RAILWAY BILLS.

Yesterday the bill of the Merthyr, Tredegar, and
Abergavenny Railway Company was passed, and
the case of the West Cheshire Railway Company,
for branch railways in that district, was opened by
Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., and evidence taken. The
cases of the opposing parties to the Bristol and
Clifton, Mold, Whitchurcb, and Wrexham, and
Lancashire and Yorkshire Hull Extensions, are still
under consideration in these committees of the Com-
mons. In the Lords, Mr. Stewart, the secretary of
the London and North Western, and Mr, Bouch,
C.E., were examined against the Rowsley and
Buxton Extension of the Midland Railway, and the
Crystal Palace and South London Junction and
Keighley and Worth Railway Bills were passed in
Lord Redesdale's committee. The Amalgamation
Bill of the Eastern Counties and other companies
has been brought up from the Commons, and a com-
mittee of the Lords is to be appointed to consider
its merits and provisions.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Yesterday this
committee proceeded with the consideration and
settlement of the clauses, some 80 in number, of
this bill, and got as far as No. 21. The clauses in
question relate principally to the constitution of
the commission for carrying the act into execu-
tion, and to questions of executive detail. It was
proposed by the bill as originally drawn to make the
compensation to owners and occupiers of lands and
properties assessable under the City of London
Municipal Improvement Act, but the committee
negatived the proposition, and inserted clauses
making such compensation assessable only under
the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. One of the
most important clauses (21), now under considera-
tion, provides for the various works and improve-
ments to be authorised by the Act, and for the
further consideration of which the committe ad-
journed to this day.

THE CANCER HOSPITAL, BROITIPTON.

The first annual festival in commemoration
of the opening of the new Hospital for Cancer
at Brompton was held last night at Willis's Rooms;
Mr. John Abel Smith in the chair. There were
also present Sir George Bowyer, M.P., Rev. Horatio

WESTMINSTER.

THE EXHIBITION—IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—John Malo-
ney, a middle-aged Irishman, was charged with the follow-
ing daring robbery near the Exhibition :
Mr. G. French said—l live at Yarmouth, but am staying
a few days in London. Yesterday afternoon I was by
Prince Albert's-terrace, when the prisoner, who was com-
ing past, took my watch.
Mr. Arnold—How did he take it ?
Prosecutor—He plucked it out of my pocket; he came
right in front of me and did it.
Mr. Arnold—How were you wearing it ?
Prosecutor—ln my waistcoat pocket, with an Albert
chain fastened through a button-hole. He plucked the
watch with such force that he broke the chain.

Mr. Arnold—What did you do ?
Prosecutor—l caught hold of his hand, and tried to re-
cover my watch, which he would not willingly give me till
a policeman came up. I called a policeman, and when he
came up, I got my watch again. In taking my watch he
broke the glass.
Mr. Arnold—Was the prisoner sober?
Prosecutor—l should not think he was; he was the
worse for liquor.
Thomas Bishop, 325 X, said—At half-past 12 yesterday
I was called to take the prisoner into custody. As I came
up to him I saw the prosecutor take the watch from his
hand. Prisoner was very drunk.
Mr. Arnold (to the accused)—Do you wish to say any-
thing T
Prisoner—l went to Covent Garden and laid out 16s.
Mr. Arnold—l want to know if you wish to say any-
thing ?
Prisoner—The devil a word; I'd the drop taken, and
don't know anything about it.
Mr. Arnold, to the prosecutor—Did the prisoner run up
against you, or you against him ? was there any jostling,
or were there any words before the prisoner took the watch ?
Prosecutor—There was no running against each other,
nor words ; he came up tome deliberately and plucked the
watch from my pocket.
Mr. Arnold—l cannot take drunkenness as an excuse for
such a robbery.
Prisoner remanded.
