ROYAL ASYLUM OF ST. ANN'S

SOCIETY.

The anniversary festival of this most admirable and
benevolent institution was celebrated yesterday evening,
at the London Tavern, when upwards of 150 gentlemen,
friends and patrons of the charity, sat down to a sump-
tuous dinner. Lord Robert Grosvenor, ALP., occupied
the chair, and J. W. Freshfield, Eq., the vice-chair.
The Noble Chairman was supported by Sir W. Brooke
Brydges, and the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Powys. The Rev.
Dr. Vaughan, the Rev. Mr. Povah, and Mr. H. Pownall,
were amongst the company present.
The Royal Asylum of St. Ann's Society is one of the
most ancient of the metropolitan charities. tied includes
among its patrons her Majesty the Queen, the Queen
Dowager, and the Prince of Wales. It has been in ex-
istence for a period of 140 years, having been founded
in 1709. As is well known, its objects are the mainte-
nance, clothing, and education of the children, whether
orphans or not, of persons of every nation, once in pro-
sprity ; and like all the munificent charitable foundations

(if this great metropolis, the words " supported by vo-
luntary contribution" are written over its threshold—
words which have ever edcited the wonder and admira-
tion of every distinguished foreigner who has sojourned
in this city, and import a fact, the like of which is to be
tourd in no metropolis on the Continent.

The cloth having been removed, the CHAIRMAN gave
in succession the usual loyal and constitutional toasts,
.hich were enthusiastically responded to by the as-
Aembly.
In the course of the evening the children, who are
being now educated, maintained, and clothed by the
charity, to the number of 77 girls and 150 boys, were
introduced to the company, and their peculiarly clean and
neslthy appearance, their modest, reap. cttul. and gentle
.ieportment, and their blooming and intelligent faces,
ormf d the theme of general admiration. Master
l{olphe, a boy of 12 years of age, arid one of the re-
iiptenis of the charity, recited, with great beauty and
ropriety of enunciation; a poetical address, composed
or the occasion, laudatory of the charity, complimen-
ary to the Noble Chairman and expressive of gratitude to
he numerous friends end patrons of the institution. Its
'diver) was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the
company.
I.HAIRMAN then rose, and said that he always
felt embarrassed in addressing a company so large and
.0 influential us that which was now before him, and
that embarrassment was considerably increased by the
prculiar position in which he found himself at that mo
inent, because he was quite sure that he should never

tIOW 'HUILA:II so worihy of their attention as the young
eutleman to whose performance they had just been
I,tening—(Cheert)—and whose intonation and manner
t delivery showed so perfretly that he telt the sentiments

:as address couveyed.—(Clieers.) In point of fact,
mat )oung gentleman had " taken the bread out of
his mouth"—had left him nothing to say, had left
him bankrupt indeed.—(Laughter and cheers) He re-
piced at it, however, for it was a convincing proof of
be utility of the institution whose claims they had met
to support. The Noble L rd then proceeded to bear
his personal testimony to the benefits which the R yal
Asylum had conferred. It had already had its Cen-
tenary, for since its foundation more than a hundred
years had elapsed, and he believed that the jubilee year
f the construction ot the noble building on Streatham-
bill was not far distant.—(Cheers.) There were many
charitable institutions in this metropolis of the highest
value, but this was the only one which, upon a large
scale, protected the families of those who trim affluent
circumstances had fallen into the depths of misfortune
—which did not wait until children had become orphans
in order to assist them, but regarded sudden distress
and destitution as a sufficient claim upon its benevo-
lence.—(Cheers.) If ever there were times which
reminded every person how trail and fleeting were
the gifts of fortune, they were the times in which we
were now living. He had not forgotten the com-
mercial crisis of the autumn of 1847 and the spring of
1848, and those days must excite the most painful feel-
ings in the breasts ot every one who then heard him.
Well, who amongst them could say how soon his own
turn might come?—(Hear, hear.) But, as if this were
not enough, in 1848 the vicissitudes of fortune rose still
higher, and they saw kings and princes wandering desti-
tute, and laying claim to the hospitality of foreign
countries.—(Hear, hear.) Ho trusted, therefore, if any
illustrations were required to show the value of a society
like this that the scenes of 1847 and 1848 would not be
torgotten—(Cheers)—and that those who might think
themselves secure would, if no higher motive influenced
them, see by this how necessary it was to make provision
tor others if it might not be even for themselves, when the
hour of adversity should come.—(Cheers.) Having made
a feeling appeal to the company to increase their exer-
tions in support of the institution, his Lordship concluded
by proposing " Prosperity to the Royal Asylum of St.
Ann's Society."—(Loud cheers.)
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
The Rev. Mr. rove'', whose church the children at-

;ebd, took occasion, before they retired from the room,

in a beautiful and feeling address, to remind them of the
privilege they enjoyed in being the recipients of the
harity, and of tue number of friends and benefactors
they might reckon, as indicated by the large assembly
oy whom they were surrounded.
The children then retired, as did also the Chairman

hortly afterwards, to attend- her Majesty's state ball,
when Sir 11. Brooke Br) dges efficiated as chairman
during the remainder of the evening.
The Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN prupased the health of the
Secretary, Mr. Leeks, to whose indefatigable exertions
on behalt of the charity he bore cheerful testimony.
Mr. LEEKS, the secretary, in responding to the
toast, said no more pecuniary consideration alone
could induce him to give his services to the institution;
tie found the greatest stimulus to his exertions in the
sympathy which he telt with the great objects of the
otierity.—(Cht era.)
The sub.criptions during the evening amounted to
nearly 1,4001.
The musical arrangements of the evening were under
the able direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Miss Betts,
Mr. Francis, Mr. Howe, and Mr. H. Phillips.
The reserved seats behind the chair and the gallery
over the end of the room were filled with elegantly*
dressed ladies.
The company separated at 11 o'clock. Mr. Harker
officiated a. toastmaster.

THE TUBULAR BRIDGE OVER THE MENAI
STRAITS.-It is expected by the engineer, Mr. Stephen-
son, that the important work of raising this gigantic
structure to its destined bite will be accomplished on the
19,h, or one of the three following days in this month.
It will readily be believed that from the magnitude and
novelty of the undertaking the greatest excitement
prevails, not only amongst professional men, but amongst
all who feel any interest in engineering triumphs, with
reference to this final proceeding. Should the enormous
structure answer the purpose for which it was designed
(and of its doing so not a doubt exists in the minds of
those best capable of judging), it will unquestionably
take its stand amongst the wonders of the world. The
completion of this work will perfe ct the line between
Chester and Holyhead, and effect some considerable
saving in time now occupied in the journey between
Lyndon and Dublin, which will be considerably reduced,
so that when trains are crossing the Menai Straits the
superiority of this route to the sister kingdom over that
via Liverpool can scarcely be disputed.
COAL RETURNS.—We are requested to state that
the quantity of coals brought into the port of London in
1848 was 3,418,340 tons, and not 3,479,189 tons.
Mr. Arthur P. Bagley, late United States' Minister
at the Court of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of
Russia, has arrived in London by the steam-ship Nep-
tune,
roots to the United States of America.
