their removal from 296, Regent-street, to 16, Hanover-

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.—The usual monthly
meeting of the above society, which was established in
1827, for the relief of aged and infirm printers and
their widows, was held last evening at the Londun
Tavern; H. Fley, Esq., presiding. From the report it
appeared that this institution, in common with others,
had felt the effects of the commercial pressure of the
past year in the diminution of its annual receipts, whieh
were 501. less than the previous year; but notwithstand-
ing had increased by 281. the amount distributed in
pensions. A legacy however of 1001., left by the late
J. Brettell, Esq., and another of 101. 10s. from the late
J. Wilson, Esq., have been received, which, with interest
on stock, had enabled the committee to add 294/. 17s. to
their funded property, which is now 5,2091. ss. 7d.
There are 55 pensioners now on the funds, which
number will be increased at the ensuing election. The
receipts of the past year, including a previous balance of
1171. 12s. 9d., subscriptions, donations, &c., amounted to
1,213/. 6s. 11d., of which 528/. 17s. had been paid to
pensioners, and, after defraying the necessary expendi.
ture, there remained a balance of 664 15s. 4d., in addition
to the funded stock.

THE WEATHER.—We have had very bad weather
for the last two or three days, especially on Saturday,
during nearly the whole of which the rain fell in tor•
rents, accompanied by much thunder and lightning.
There were several heavy showers during yesterday ;
but although we had occasional rain to-day of a lighter
character, the weather is altogether improved. We-trust
that no considerable injury has been done to any portion
of the standing or growing crops by the fearful rain of
Saturday.—Cork Examiner.
PREACHERSHIP or GRAT'S INN.—ThiS appoint•
appointment has become vacant by the death of the Rev.
Dr. Shepherd, who held the office nearly forty years.
It is in the gift of the Benchers. Dr. Shepherd
was
also Rector of St. Bartholomew by the Exchange, in
the city of London. Th

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED.)
COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.

The opening piper of the pie-gent nuniTie-i-ivill be
read with a melancholy interest by all admirers of
genius ; it is entitled " Posthumous Memoirs of Alysel',
by Horace Smith, Esq." It is introduced by the fol-
lowing note from the editor :
" Accidental circumstances prevented the appearance
of this talo during the lifetime of its gifted and lamented
author, but the proofs were corrected by him. Teken
in connexion with the melancholy event which so
speedily and unexpectedly followed i.is composition, the
article presents a singular coincidence of title, and be-
comes invested with de'p and pEculiar interest."

We find in another portion of the magazine a bio-
graphical account of the two celebrated brothers
James and Horace Smith, the authors of the " Re-
jected Addresses." The following will, perhaps, be
new to many of our readers :
" Shelley and Horace Smith were intimate friends. He
always spoke with hi,eh regard both of that lofty poet
and his writings. Ile did not, however, applaud the
mistaken theories of that enthusiastic genius in Ins
youth; theories which Shelley himself subsequently
modified. Though Shelley is my particular friend,'
said Smith, ' I regret the imprudence of his publications
on more points than one; but as I know him to possess
the most exalted virtues, end find in others, who also
promulgate the most startling theories, the most amiable
traits, I leas❑ to be tolerant towards abstract specula-
tions, which, not exercising any baneful influence o❑
their authors' lives, are still less likely to corrupt
others. Truth is greet, and will prevail; that is my
motto; end I would therefore leave everything un-
shackled, for what is true stands, and what is falseought
to full, whatever the consequences.'"
Skene continues his valuable series on the
" Spirit of Change in Southern Europe," and in hislpre-
sent contribution furnishes us with much valuable
information on the state of public opinion in Greece,
and in the lonian Islands ; and we have also an ela-
borate review of Lamartine's recently published "His-
tory of the Provisional Government." Mr. Robert
Harris gives us an interesting account of "A Day
passed at Syracuse in September, 1847 ;" and Mr.
Blundell continues his admirable description of the
" Eastern Settled Districts in Australia." Soapey
Sponge continues his sporting tour with spirit, but
he must certainly yield the palm to M. Casimir'
Blondeau, the Frenchman, whose " Account of the
Sights of London " is the most amusing compound
of vanity and shrewdness, sense and absurdity, wit
and philosophy, that has of late years been presented
to the public.
