time, to circulate among the Friends of the Institution
Original Papers on the subjects of the present Controversy,
Extracts from the Periodicals and Pamphlets- both of the
present and former times, and the communications of such
Individuals or Societies as may choose to make their senti-
ments known through this channel, together with any
other documents calculated to uphold the present constitu-
tion of the Bible Society.

CHOLERA,MORBUS—ORDER in COUNCIL

On the 10th inst., when orders were given to
establish quarantine for vessels coming from Riga,
Darezic, and other ports in the North of Europe, a
certain exception was m tile in favour of steam-boats
sailing between Hamburg and London. This excep-
tion was said, in the Order in Council, to have
been made under the impression that these beats
carried only passengers, or very small quantities of
unenumerated goods. Their Lordships, however,
having learnt that those vessels did not limit their
trade to the conveyance of small quantities of un-
enumerated goods, but imported in great quantities
other articles, %s hich are enumerated—that is, wool,
yarn, hemp, furs, &c. &c.—have withdrawn the
favour which was at first extended to them, and
placed them under the same laws with respect to
quarantine as other trading vessels. In conse-
quence of this new order, dated Friday, the 17th
instant, the William Jollife steam.-boat, coming from
Hamburg, which arrived yesterday at Gravesend,
has been ordered to proceed to the regular quarantine
station. The passengers will,of course, be liable to the
samedetention, and the goods to the same precautions
as if they had been conveyed in regular sailing vessels.
This detention must be a great interruption to
anxious travellers and speedy intercourse; but the
steam-boats may avoid it by abandoning for a season
the profit arising from the conveyance of the enu-
merated articles. At any rate, while a doubt remains
of the contagious nature of the cholera, the public
should have the benefit of that doubt by the enforce-
ment of the strictest rules of quarantine. The dis-
ease may probably be no more conveyed in a bag of
wool or a bundle of flax, titan in a sailor's jacket or
in a packet of letters, but this is not the time for re-
laxing rules which were thought necessary when the
eestiler:ce was at a greater distance. It is better that
individuals should suffer inconvenience than that the
public health should be exposed to the smallest ha-
zard from a distemper, whose fatal results are better
known than its mode of propagation.
The following is the Order in Council to which
we have teferred

" Council-office, Whitehall, June 17.

"Sir.,—With reference to my letter of the 10th inst.,
making a certain exception as to quarantine in favour of
steam-boats coming from Hamburg, I am directed by the
Lords of his Majesty's Council to state to you, for the in-
formation of the Commissioners of Customs, that the
above exception was made under the impression that these
steam-boats carried passengers only, or very small quanti-
ties of non-enumerated goods ; but their Lordships having
been informed that the steam-vessels carry very conside-
rable quantities of goods of different descriptions, to the
injury of the regular sailing traders, I am directed to
state the desire of their Lordships that the before-mentioned
exceptions in favour of steam-vessels be granted to them
only when they have passengers and non-enumerated goods
on board, that is, none of the articles mentioned in the
following list, viz.—Wool of all kinds, cordage not tarred,
yarn of all kinds, down, feathers, flax, furriers' crate,
hair of all kinds, hemp, quills, rags, skins, hides, furs
(whether dressed or undressed), tow.

" I am further directed to state the desire of their Lord-
ships that the same indulgence be granted to sailing ves-
sels arriving under similar circumstances from the Hanse-
atic and other ports in the mouth of the Elba ; but that
whe❑ either st. am-vessels vr sailing-vessels arrive from the
ports before-menrionsd having any of the articles men-
tioned in the said list, they be ordered to proceed to the
regular quarantine station.
" I am, Sir,. your obedient servant,
(Signed) " C. C. GREVILLE."

last. She sailed from Jamaica on the 25th April,
railed off Havannah on the 3d of May, sailed again on the.
4th, arriving at• Bermuda on the 12th. His 'Majesty's.
ship Blanche, 46, Captain Arthur Farquhar; Champian,

ward, at Barbadoes. His Majesty's ship Mersey, 26,
Captain G. W. C. Courtenay, had sailed fur the Gulph oi
Mexico for freight, when she would return immediately
to England. She may be daily expected. The whole el
the promotions and appointments will had been lately
made on the station, had been superseded by the Admi-
ralty, who have filled up the vacancies that have occurred
by appointments from England. By this means twenty-
three midshipmen, who had been promoted to the rank of

His Majesty's ship Volage, 23, Captain Right Hon.
Lord Colchester, arrived at Spithead, on Monday, from
Rio Janeiro, last from Falmouth. She sailed from Rio
Janeiro on the 13th of April, leaving there his Majesty's
ship Warspite, 76, Captain C. Talbot, with Bear-Admiral
Baker's flag fljing ; Calypso, 6, Lieut. R. Peyton ; and
Lyra, 6, Lieut. St. JOhn. His Majesty's ship Undaunted,
46, Captain E. Harvey, and Tyne, 28, Captain C. Hope,
had arrived from this port on the 12th, in company with
two French brigs of war from Brest. His Majesty's ship
Clio, 18, Commander J. J. Onslow ; Seringapatam, 46,
Capt. Hon. ---....-VValdegrave, (a); and Tribune, 42, cue..
J. A. Duntee, were round Cape Horn. His Majesty's
ship Lightning, 18, Commander T. Dickinson, (b) was
still at Cape Fri., assisting in raising the specie from the
wreck of his Majesty's late ship Thetis, and very sanguine
hopes were entertained of the ultimate success of this en-
terprize. His Majesty's ship Algerine, 10, Commander
W. H. Martin, (act.) was up the River Plata. The Vo-
lage touched at Fayal, on the 29th of May, and sailed
again on the fo lowing day. At some distance from the
island they descried a squadron of five sail, consisting of
two brigs and three schooners, standing in for Fayal.
The Volage arrived at Falmouth on the 9th instant, and
having landed her despatches, immediately sailed for Cher-
bourg, to disembark Don Pedro and suite, who, amounting
in all to thirty-eight, came passengers in her. On the re-
volution occurring at South America, the French and
British men-of-war manned and armed their boats, and
were prepared to land if Don Pedro should require it, in
conjunction with the Portuguese and the Austrian Coimel
Swanbaaks, the latter of whom waited on the Emperor and
offered to re-assemble his disbanded Austrian regiment, to
put down the revolution and restore order. The Emperor,
however, declined the offers, and seemed perfectly contented
at being allowed to leave Brazils quietly with his family
and treasures. The Emperor desired t' at no Englishmen
should come on shore armed under any pretext whatever.
On the 12th the boats of the Warspite and French ship
went in and conveyed Don Pedro and his followers on
board the Warspite, where having expressed a wish to be
conveyed to Brest, orders were instantly giving to tit the
Wage and Cyrene fur his reception. On the 10th inst.,
the ships being ready, they sailed from Rio for Europe.
The Emperor on his passage home was very polite and
affable, and in constant conversation with the efficers on
deck. Ho enjoyed the voyage very much, and never felt
or expressed the least regret at his downfal, if it may be so
called. During the passage be frequently brought his gun
upon deck and amused himself with shooting Mother Ca-
rev's chickens, and other s•,a birds. On the Volage arriving
at Cherbourg, the officers of the ship were presented with
magnificent gold snuff boxes, on which occasion, in reply
to a request from the officers, the Emperor wrote the fol-
lowing in Portuguese, and presented to them :
" The Officers of his Majesty's ship Volage, to whom I
had the pleasure of presenting a gold snuff-box, as a trifling
mark of my gratitude for their attention to my family and
suite during the passage, having expressed a desire to have
my armorial bearings engraved upon the same, it is with
the very greatest pleasure that I comply with their request.

" DON PEDRO DE ALCANTA RA BRAGANZA ET BOURBON

The crew also received a handsome present of money
from Don Pedro. When the Ex-Emperor left the ship at
Cherbourg, a salute was fired, the yards were manned,
and three cheers were given by the crew ; he was con-
ducted on shore in the French state barge, and on lauding
was again saluted from the Volage and the batteries. The
Prefect and troops of Cherbourg were in readiness to re-
ceive him with due honours and conduct him to the Go-
vernor's house, which had been prepared for him during
his stay, and which it was expected would be about a
week. He was ping on the following Tuesday, in com-
pany with the Prefect of Cherbourg, to a grand stag hunt,
to which the officers of the Volage were invited. The
amount
.of treasure taken by the Ex-Emperor is not
known, as he never mentioned it in any way. As the
destination of the Volage was altered from Brest to Cher-
bourg, Don Pedro had sent one of his household to Brest,
to wait the zariv.rl of the Cyrene, and to conduct Donna
Maria and her suite to him at Cherbourg, when he would
depart for Munich. The following passengers came to
Engl mud in the Volage, from Rio. in the suite of the Ex-
Emperor, and were landed at this port:--Colonel John
Carlos Partial, and Colonel Henri Plasson, the former a
Portuguese, and the latter a French officer. The Volage
is ordered to refit at Spithead with all prac!icable expedi-
tion, for the purpose of returning to the South American
station with as little delay as possible.
The Wanderer transport, Lieut. A. Young; agent, ar-
rived on Wednesday, born the Mediterranean. She sailed
from Corfu on the 15th of March, leaving the Proeris
lying there. The Wanderer arrived at Malta on the 2d
of March, and remained there fourteen days. The Bri-
tannia (with the Admiral's flag flying), the Melville,
Rmt-
tlesnake, Rapid, and Ferret were there, as well as Philo-
tnel in quarantine. The Wanderer sailed from Malta, on
the sth of April, and had a very long and tedious passage
to Gibraltar, where she remained beating about a cowl-
..eratde tim-, being unable to proceed on her voyage in
consequence of the prevalence of a strong westerly wind.
Animmense fleet of merchant ships was also detained
there w-bound, b

On which day the Wanderer also left Gibraltar, having
experienced nothing but westerly winds for the last three

brought into practice abroad, before their projectors have
been able to obtain for them any serious con4eleration. at
home. We by no means intend to convey an idea that
the naval administration of this country are bound to adopt
ttar even to lis•en to every plan which may be suggested as
in improvement in the building or fitting of our ships of
war, but we do think that the difficulties of bringing one's
views under the con.bleration of the Admiralty ought in
some degree to he diminished, and every facility given to
encourage the developement of plans, some of which, at
any rate, may be likely to prove beneficial to the service.
Some interesting remarks on the advantages of these ad-
mirable gun-carriages, will be found, in another place, in
our paper of to-day.

A splendid entertainment was given on board his Ma-
jesty's ship Caledonia, at Spitheatl, on Thursday, by
Vice-Admiral Sir Edward and Lady Codrington, to a
numerous assemhlage of Naval and Military officers.
Among the company present were Major-General Sir '
Colin. Campbell, our Lieut.-Governor, and family; Vice-
Admiral
Sir John, lady, and the Misses Gore; Rear-
Admiral Parker, his lady, and family; Lord Yarborough;
Commissioner Sir Michael Seymour and family; Colonel
Warr; Capt. Lawrence, R.M. and his lady; all the
Captains and Commanders of the various ships and vessels
at this port, with -.their ladies and families; besides
many others with whose names we are unacquainted.
All the officers of the Caledonia were also expressly in-
vited. The company began to assemble at eight, and
by nine they had. all arrived, to the number of one
hundred and fifty and upwards, the Malmesbury steamer
having been engaged to ply to and fro for the accom-
modation of the guests. Dancing commenced about nine
o'clock, and at laalf-past twelve the company sat down
to an elegaut supper laid out in the Admiral's cabin on
three tears; after which dancing was restuned with re-
newed spirit. Sir Edward and Lady Codrington vied.
with each other in their urbanity and polite attention to
all, but more particularly to the young gentlemen, in
providing them with partners and endeavouring to make
them as happy as possible. The quarter. ck was fitted
up with gteat e;egance with flags, lamps, &c. and the
hand of the Caledonia played curing the evening several
of their favourite pieces. The party separited at a late
hour, much gratified at the hospitality and courteous
attentions of their worthy host and hostess. Tie supper
was supplied by Mr. Guy, and was highly credi!-atile to
his taste.

PICTURE OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF
THE INSTITUTION OF THE SCHOOL.

It is with feelings of high gr.rtification that we
find that a Society, founded for the exercise of the
most exalted benevolence, flourishing under the im-
mediate auspices of his Majesty, patronised by indi-
viduals of rank and property, and including a large
body of one of the most respectable and opulent
classes of tradesmen, has at length been selected as
the subject of piczorial representation; and while
we are aware that it is a distinction to which etre
noble object of the Society -entitled it, we are also
sensible of the honour conferred in the adoption.
Having been very lately favoured, by the liberal
proprietor, with a private view of the painting to
sYllich we allude, we hasten to give it that due con-
sideration which its peculiar claims upon our atten-
tion demand. Our paper is not, perhaps, more en-
tirely devoted to the interests of the " Licensed
Victuallers," than this picture is to the commemo-
ration of their most honourable feelings. It is •
theirs, exclusively theirs. The picture is painted
upon a sufficiently large scale to admit of
an immense number of figures, of size suffi-
cient to give the particulars of character, expres-
sion, attitude, and• costume. The scene is ar-.,
ranged with an eye to the picturesque, and the
time chosee is after the removal of the more suh-
stantial portions of the entertainment. The joints,
fowls, pies, and puddings, the roast and boiled,
pickled and preserved, have been cleared away by
the active hands of the waiters, and the brisk and
cheering bottle is in rapid circulation ; the punch-
bowl, with its tempting ingredients has made its
lordly appearance, and the generous Port, Burgundy,
and Madeira, sparkle in " the very best flint." The
snowy pipe and the fragrant Havannah, occupy
fingers lately busied with.the knife and foil:; while,
to be poetical, " the fair" mingle with " the brave,"
and upon every countenance beams an air of social
cordiality, increased by the consciousness of doing
good to the friendless and fatherless.
A spacious booth, surmounted by the British
flag, and ornamented with laurel, forms a principal
feature in the composition; a crown and star, with
the initials of the Licensed Victuallers in coloured
lamps, and festoons of the same, intended for the
evening illumination, adorn the front, and beneath
this extensive room of canvass, four tables, run-
ning the whole length of the place, are seen
ciowded with the members and friends of the Society.
'Beyond these appear the alcoves, or summer-houses,
some thronged with revellers, and animated by
the presence of many of the blooming visitors, who
with their husbands and friends, are making a plea.
sant tour of the grounds. Passing from the right of
the spectator in front of the booth, the procession of
the children, beaded by a grand military band, and
escorted by a number of the Stewards, the girls in their
simple white tippets and pink frocks, with their straw
bonnets in their hands, and the boys, decorated with
prize medals, and neatly attired, presented a delight-
ful subject of contemplation to the minds of the be-
nevolent. Blue standards, inscribed, " Licensed
Victuallers' School, Instituted 1803," are borne in
the procession, and explain its nature. In the fore-
ground, to the left, several figures are assembled at
a table, enjoying the festive pipe and glassi a gentle-
mao in a blue coat and buff waistcoat, of whose-
features we fancy we have some remembrance,
with spectacles in hand, is addresiing another,
also familiar to our recollection,
.stho, seated at
the end of the board, with his cigar and newss
paper, turns round to listen to the speaker.
(hr the left of the aforesaid list?.ner is a gallant
personage in brown, rn:•;mmending a glass • of
the " genuine old crusted" to his good lady, who
attired in a dress of pale primrose, a blue sh:t.wl, and
white silk hat, smiles a suitable acknowledgment for
the attention ; while a sturdy little fellow, of some
ten or twelve years of age, is, with much wisdom,
eagerly availing himself of " the present moment" to
enjoy the "juice of the grape." Behind, appear
sundry fair ones," with their " beats' • in attendance;
and beyond these the eye roves through a continua-
tionassemblage, sauntering, carelessly,
esPhPaYde of the trees. Parasols, scarfs,
sh %vlsf t happy
abonnets of glittering colours, with the
at tractive aspects of thetheyowttees, give brightness to
beneath
o
the effect. A jovial.looking member of the Society,
with a light-brown coat and white waistcoat, hoisting
his glass, arid grasping the hand of his unighbour,
seems chanting a verse of " Asild lang syne ;"
another of portly dignity, with his pipe in his hand,
and his decanter before him, welcomes the approach
of a waiter with an enormous bowl of punch, A
third in a blue sertout, with a book. and pencil
beneath his arm, and his " linnipsr" of sherry at
hand, is lookina ovc:‘, his . shoulder; while a
fourth, in a white hat, and a bright olive-green
coat, replenishes his exhausted glass. A piece of
beef, a brace of Iswls, a tongue, a pie, a tureen,
and an infinity of plates, dishes, rummers, knives
and forks, spoons, ladles, and " dead men," set
down in the hurry of removing the 'cloths, 'occupy
the left coiner of tire fore-ground. Continuing our
survey, we meet with an old bald-headed waiter, in
black, extracting the cork from a bottle; near him
is one of the Stewards, bearinl his officiakvand, and
shaking hands with a gentleman in a brown coat and
top boots. More advanced, an elderly personage in
black, whom we have possibly seen before, with a
white waistcoat and an eye-glass dangling from a

and, appears gazing upon the sCene ; arei ehye
beside him a youth of twelve or thirteen is poietird;
out the procession to his brother, a little fellow',
smartly attired in a large straw hat, and Freischtit4
dress. Advancing towards the right a pedestrian
fruit-merchant, in au old blue jacket, with a broken
pipe .stuck in his cap, and a. weather-beaten sailor,
like visage, is earnestly recommending the contents.
of his basket to a gaily dressed trio of ladies, one of
whom, in black silk, with a rose-coloured shawl,
lace collar, and white bonnet, seems debating on the
purchase; near her an old gentleman is administering
to his own comfort by lighting his pipe. More in the
fore-ground a form or bench is occupied:by-a young
man in an olive-green surtoutiwho,..Wi-h a: knowing.
look of a " connoisseur," is bolding _Up his glass-
search of " the bee's wing." A pretty woman, elf"...
gently dressed in white silk,
with an amber shawl,
and a lace veil, is sitting near, accepting some straw-
berries, which are, with
_much winning courtesy,
presented to her by her " lord and master," _while
his friend beside her is joining in commendation of
the fruit. Behind them two men in attendance are
carrying off a basket of plates, and together with a
I urge hamper, a tray, and other accesaries, terminate
the composition in the foreground. To the right of
the booth, and farming what is technically termed
" the middle distance," several animated groups are
seen recognizing their little friends among the chil-
dren in the procession, cheerfully promenading the
place, or giving way to convivial enjoyment. Still
further on, merriment is sustained with great
buoyancy of spirit, and some gay revellers have
courageously ascended a swing, while others thread
the airy mazes of "the waltz' and " the quadrille'-'
A host of merrymakers, seen beneath the tall trees
to the right, conclude the living portion of the com-
position, the entire of which is closed in by an in.
retesting view of the distant fields and hills. The
clear, blue sky of June, broken by a multitude of
si!very clouds, throws an air of brightness and har-
mony over the whole.

.
Having thus entered into an elaborate, and, we
believe, accurate description of this gay and busy
scene, we must say a few words upon the picture as
a work of art. So having curiously dived into the
principal grcups (for to enumerate all would be im-
possible), and having made our passing bow to
each, we march off a few paces to take in " the
effect," (as the painters call it), and it is not with-
out great satisfaction that we feel ourselves war-

The groups
,were well connected, and arranged
with much skill ; the incidents are lively, the cha-
racters ably contrasted, and the different expressions
touched in with considerable power. The colouring
is rich, the pencilling firm, delicate, and mellow,
and the massei of light and shade are balanced with
masterly effect.

In conclusion, it gives us extreme pleasure, as the
advocates of the Society, to inform its patrons and
friends, that an admirable engraving, of important
size, is in hands, awl will speedily be published. An
i npression, in a forward state, has been shown to us,
and we congratulate those to whom the print must
form an object of so much gratifying interest, upon
the increased publicity thus given to the Institution,
and the opportunity which they will shortly possess
of ornamenting their rooms with a work of art, with-
out which their parlour decorations would be in-
complete. It is but due to Mr. Moore, the spirited
proprietor of this painting and the plate, engraved
from it, to state that expense has been utterly un-
heeded in the undertaking; and that to render the
whole as perfect as possible, emblematical moulds
have been cut expressly . for furnishing the appro-
priate and elegant devices upon the frame,.represent-
ing, in burnished and dead gold, a rich and fanciful
combination of the vine, the hop, the kidey, arid the

LAYINGTHEyIRSTSTONE OF THE

NEW HUNGERFORD MARKET.

Although many thousand bricks had been set in
the underground works of this new edifice, the first
stone of the new market was laid only on Saturday.
The ceremony was conducted, tinder the direction
of Mr. Fowler, in that unostentatious manner which
has characterized the whole of the proceedings of
this respectable company.
Lord Dover, Alex:inder Baring, Esq., 'Milian
Courtenay, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Richards, Andrew
Macklew, Esq., and other-directors, being assembled,
the children of St. Martin's school, under the. three-
tion of the venerable Vicar, produced a very pleas-
ing effect by singing the 104th Psalm. After which
Dr. Richards, with great devotion, offered up, an
appropriate prayer.

It v►as now announced by the architect, that the
bottle which he was about to deposit in the cavi'y
of the stone, purposely prepared, contained the
Times newspaper of that day, the Gazette of the
previous day, a list of the directors and officers pf
the company, and a . sovereign, tw•o sixpences, and
two farthings, of the present reign.
The bottle. being deposited, and an inscription-
plate placed over it,

Lord DOVER, standing at the south-e::st angle of
the building, received the silver trowel, and having
spread the mortar, the stone was let down. Ms
Lordship having adjusted it with the mallet, and
provdd it upright by the plumb-rule and level, fits
Lordship, with the following appropriate address,
closed the proceedings :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—Allow me to take this op-
portunity of expressing the pride and pleasure I feel thatit
has fallen to my lot to be called upon this day to lay the
first atone of the new market. I trust I may congratulate
all present on the prospect which is now held out that
the great work so auspiciously begun will go on prosper-
ously, that it will prove a convenience to the public, an
ornament to the metropolis, and a source of well-earned
profit to the proprietors. Ladies and gentlemen, I will
detain you but one moment longer, while I allude to what
I am willing to cons der a fortunate coincidence—merely
that this day is the anniversary of the glorious battle of
Waterloo ; and, as peace has its victories as well as war, I
will venture to hope that this circumstance may be re-
ceived as a good omen of our having at length vanquished
all those difficulties which must ever accompany the under -
taking 01. new public works. I trust we shall now pro-.
eced.with the one whirls we have this day commenced
without further interruption or delay to its happy and
successful completion."

The 6liging of St. Martin's bells, the firing of
cannon, and the cheers of the workmen ad►led va-
riety to the solemn and gratifying proceedings of the
day, which will be remembered by all present with
much interest and satisfaction, and we trust that the
favourable events anticipated, will be fully realised.
it is a singular fact, that his Lordship's advance
to the Peerage is recorded in the Gazelle which is
deposited ha the stone, and that this cetemony was
the first public act performed by Lord Dover (the
He». George Agar Ellis).

of this popular collection of English fictions, will consist
of Mr. GonwlN's noble tale of " St. Leon," wherein the
Author, through a series of incidents unsurpassed in
romance, has demonstrated the vanity of many of the
restless aspirations of human nature, and " vindicated the
ways of God to man."
