FESTIVAL OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY.

The one hundred and ninety-ninth anniversary festival
of the Sons of the Clergy was celebrated in St. Paul's
Cathedral yesterday. The company, or congregation,
having tickets were admitted at the north and south
doors of the cathedral shortly after two o'clock,
and the public, without tickets, by the west door, at
a few minutes before three. At the commencement of
the service (three o'clock) every seat in the choir was
occupied. There were present on the occasion a great
number of the nobility, both lay and clerical, the Lord
Mayor, and other civic authorities, the lord stewards of
the banquet, &c.
The service commenced with a Te Deum (Handel's), the
principle solo parts and chorus being sustained by the
gentlemen of the choirs of her Majesty's Chapel Royal,
St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, and St. George's Chapel,
Windsor, the whole of the musical arrangements
being under the direction of Mr. Goes, the chief
organist of the cathedral. The chorus and semi-chorus,
"To the Cherubim and Seraphim, continually do cry,"
was exceedingly grand, and it has very rarely been so
beautifully performed. Altogether, the effect of the
choruses was magnificent, few musical treats being equal
to them. The sermon, which was preceded and suc-
ceeded by an anthem, was preached by the venerable
John Sinclair, M.A., vicar of Kensington, and lasted
upwards of half-an-hour. It was rather more than
half-past four o'clock before the service was concluded,
and from the great concourse of persons assembled in
the cathedral it was not until considerably later before
all had retired. From the excellence of the arrange-
ments, no disorder or anything indecorous occurred
to interrupt the performance, or cause any confu-
sion within the walls of the sacred edifice.
_ _

Outside the cathedral the regulations of the city police
prevented any interruption to the free passage of the
carriages of the visitors along the streets, and kept
the lines of the carriages of the visitors to the festi-
val in the best order. The annual banquet which
was held in aid of the funds of the incorporated society
took place last evening in the Merchant Tailors' Hall, and,
was attended by most of the dignitaries who were pre-'
sent in the cathedral, and by a large number of the clergy.
The Lord Mayor occupied the chair. It is expected, at
present, that the contributions will be equal to any of
the preceding festivals. This festival, the earliest charity
founded for the relief of clergymen' was first held in St.
Paul's Cathedral in 1655, and has been since continued
under the superintendence of the successive Archbishops
of Canterbury; supported by the gracious personal co-
operation of the Royal family, and by the dignitaries of
the Church and State. The Corporation of the Sons of
the Clergy were enabled, in 1852, by the funds derived
from the society, of the festival, and their other re-
sources to pay to 1,201 recipients, 14,669/.

(BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)
TRIESTE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11.
The steamer Calcutta arrived on the 10th May,
at nine p.m., in. 106 hours from Aleiandria.
On the 19th March the force under Sir John
Cheap captured the stronghold of the robber chief
Mea Toon, near Donabew, after a fierce combat of
four hours' duration, and a loss of 102 killed and
wounded, rank and file.
Nothing further had transpired respecting the
state of affairs at Ava, or respecting the ulterior
Movements of the British troops. •
Lork Falkland will probably remain another
year at Bombay.
Mr. Luard, of the civil service had been dis-
missed for having offered, if a public investigation
was granted, to prove that two superior officers
have been guilty of infamous conduct in the exer-
cise of their judicial functions.
A public investigation, to test the truth of Mr.
Luard's affirmation, is unanimously demanded by
the Indian press.
Great indignation has been excited by a report
sthat the Government was about to renew
charter
for ten years, without waiting for a dis-
cussion.
Advices from China of the 27th March state
that Sir G. Bonham had proceeded to Shanghai.
The insurgents in China had made so much pro-
gress that the Emperor was compelled to sue
for aid.
The advices from Alexandria are to the 6th
instant.

THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.

The preparations for encamping a division of the
army on the heathy commons of Berkshire and Surrey
begin to approach completion.
It is intended that Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton,
an experienced and accomplished officer, will command
in chief.
The troops will consist of four regiments of cavalry,
24 pieces of artillery, and tame brigades of infantry,
each under the command of a Major-General.
The Ist Infantry Brigade will be formed of three bat-
talions of Guards, the 2d and 3d each of three battalions
of the line. The whole force will amount to about 8,000
men, with 2,000 horses, and after the troops composing
the first division have had three or four weeks' practice
in field evolutions they will be replaced by a similar
force for the same period.
The Sappers awl Miners from Chatham will form
part of the force encamped, fieldworks and entrench-
ments be thrown up, and bridges of pontoons, in
which the melt of recent inventions may be tested, will
ba thrown over some narrow portions of Virginia
Water—a lake which, as is not perhaps generally
known, owes its existence to the labours of the army
which fought under the Duke of Cumberlai-Id at Cul-
loden.

THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DERBY.—The young
man (Mead), who dropped from the window, upwards
of 60 feet, at the late destructive fire at Mr. Davenport's
mill, died yesterday afternoon. Bennett is still lying in
a very precarious state ; and Thorpe, the man who escaped
by the ladder, is somewhat better.
POPULATION OF FRANKFORT.--7ACCOrding to a census
taken in December last, the state of Frankfort contains
73,150 inhabitants, of whom 62,511 are in the city, and
10,639 in the country. In the above number are in-
cluded 829 suldiers of tie contingent. The federal gar-
rison not included in the above amounts to 4,821 men,
so that the total number of the inhabitants is 77,971. In
1849 the inhabitants of the city numbered 58,426, and
of the country 10,038, so that the population has in-
creased 3,814 in three years. The federal garrison com-
prises 1,717 Austrians, 1,713 Prussians, and 1,391
Bavarians. There are now in Germany eight sovereign
States each of which has a population inferior to that of
Frankfort, and before the territorial modifications of
Anhalt and Hohenzollern there were twelve.

ST: KATHERINE DOCKS.

Thehalf-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the above
docks was held yesterday ; Mr. Alderman Thompson
was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meet-
ing had been convened having been read, the report of
the directors was submitted.
The CHAIRMAN said if they were to look into the ac-
counts and the report he thought they would find them
very satisfactory. The net earnings for the past half-
year were 47,0001. If they adopted the recommendation
of the court of directors, and declared a dividend of 2
per cent. for the half-year, they would be enabled to carry
over a balance of 9,0001., making the reserve fund
amount to about 39,0001. The stock on hand was re-
duced 4,000 tons from last year, whilst there had been a
greater landing of 5,000 tons. The net earnings of the
past half-year amounted to 21. 9s. Oid. per cent. whilst in
the corresponding half of 1852 the earnings amounted to
only V. ss. per cent. As regarded their future pros-
pects, he was not inclined to take a gloomy view ; but
looking at the number of ships to come in, he saw no
reason why the current half-year should not be as good as
the last. The total earnings on the past year amounted
to 41. 15s. per cent. The increase in their
business was shown by the circumstance that in the
half-year just completed the net income was 47,5651.,
whilst in the corresponding half of 1852 it amounted to
45,1301. ; and in 1851, the year of the Exhibition, when-
there was great commercial activity, 42,1301.. The
committee appointed to inquire into the management
had recently renewed their inquiries, and they found
that hydraulic machinery was successfully used in many
other docks, and effected a great economy in human
labour—a circumstance of great importance when every
kind of labour was rising in value. The directors bad
adopted their views, and they found the expenditure would
amount to 30,0001., which, from all the information they
had received, they had every reason to believe would be
saved by the economy it would introduce work-
ingintc)inthteermso
in 6 years. The chairman then alluded,
regret, to the retirement of Sir John Hall from the
i t secretaryship,

COUNTRY MARKET,%

LIVERPOOL—JuIy 19.
Wheat and flour to-day met a moderate consumptive
demand at an advance upon the prices of this day se'nnight
of 2d per 701 b., and 6d per sack and barrel. Cargoes of
wheat afloat saleable at extreme rates. Oats of fine qua-
lity, being scarce, brought fully per 451 b. advance.
Oatmeal rather more saleable at former prices. Barley and
peas without change, but Egyptian beans obtainable at a
decline of is per 4801 b. White Indian corn in request,
and rather dearer. Yellow, however, .was neglected, and
without change in value.

IPSWICH—JULY 19.
The continued very rainy season, coupled with the ad-
vance in Mark-lane yesterday, caused our market to be *
very animated one for wheat, and the advance partook of
an extravagant character as regarded some samples, 3s to
5s per qr. being realised over last week's prices. It is
feared injury is already sustained by the growing crop, and
apprehensions felt for the potatoes.

We had to-day a good II of farmers. There was
a fair show of wheat.b The market settled down at from
588 to 60s per qr. for best runs of red, which of themselves
are weighing 631 b. per bushel ; thus making the advance
2s upon last week's prices. A small show of foreign wheat,
at is to 2s per qr. higher, but stale or chambered wheats
are not saleable. Grinding barley as dear as last week.
Oats 6d dearer. Beans meet a firm market, and are well
cleared off. Of peas a small stock. Indian corn is dearer.
