CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

The accustomed annual orations by the senior
scholars of this noble establishment were delivered
yesterday, St. Matthew's-day, before the Lord
Mayor, sheriffs, and other corporation authorities, and
a crowded auditory. The first discourse, a Latin
oration, on the benefits of the royal hospitals of Ed-
ward VI., was pronounced by Edward Hayman,
second Grecian, about to proceed to Clare-hall,
Cambridge. The speech, excellently constructed, as
a classical composition, gave a succinct account of
Edward's various benevolent institutions, and depicted
the immense benefits they have conferred upon so-
ciety, in relation alike to health of body and to health
of mind. The second oration, in English, pronounced
by John Daniel Williams first Grecian and classical
medallist, proceeding to Trinity College, Cambridge,
pursued the same theme ; and the talented speaker,
in more especial reference to Christ's Hospital, grace-
fully indicated the various persons who, acquiring
eminence in the world, have owed their training
to this learned establishment : Camden, Bishop Mid-
dleton, Coleridge, &c., and adverted to the circum-
present moment two professional chairs at Cambridge
stance, so gratifying to hospitallers, that at the
are occupied by sons of the school. The Greek
oration on the same subject was delivered by
Charles Edward Searle, third Grecian, and mathema-
tical medallist, who is proceeding to Pembroke Col-
lege as the Times' scholar. Mr. Searle obtained well-
merited applause for his discourse. The fourth
Grecian, William Allan Russell, who is proceeding to
Oxford, pronounced
a French oration on the same
theme, ably composed, and admirably delivered. The
other productions were—Latin Alcaics, on Marcus
Curtius, by Hermann Charles Heilbronn, ninth
Grecian ; Greek lambics—Milton's " Invocation to
Light," by James Lempriere Hammond, fifth Grecian,
and mathematical medallist, 1847 ; English Ode, on
the recent Double Discovery of the Planet Neptune,
by Adams and Leverrier, by D'Arcy Wentworth
Thompson, seventh Grecian, and classical medallist,
1847 ; Latin Hexameters—" The Country Clergy-
man," from Goldsmith's "Deserted Village," by
Charles Dacre Craven, sixth Grecian ; Greek
Sapphics— Gray's "Ode to Spring," by Robert Black,
eighth Grecian; Latin Elegiacs—" Antigone Burying
her Brother Polynices," by Thomas Holbrow, eleventh
Grecian; and an English Poem on the Creation, by
George Hector Croad, twelfth Grecian. The tenth
Grecian, Lawrence Craven, was absent through
illness. The exhibition of great and various ability
manifested by these productions must have been most
gratifying to the respective friends of the speakers,
and to the authorities of the institution. A liberal
collection was made for the library purposes of the
new collegians, and the proceedings terminated with
the formal business of renewing the minor officers for
the ensuing year.

This attractive re-union commenced its series of sittings
GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—TUESDAY.—
to-day under very favourable auspices. The programme
consisted of selections. Overture, Esther, Handel;
anthem, " Blessed is He," Boyce; grand Dettingen Te
Deum, Handel; anthem, "Here shall soft charity repair;"
and grand Coronation Anthem, "I was glad," Attwood.
A sermon was also preached by the Rev. Dr. Ellerton,
one of the clerical stewards of the festival. The weather,
we regret to say, was very unpropitious; nevertheless,
the attendance was quite as numerous as upon any pre-
vious occasion; and, if we may judge from present ap-
pearances, the anticipations of the promoters of the
festival will be fully realised. The performance of Elijah
to-morrow will ensure a full and fashionable company,
for we hear all the seats reserved for the occasion are
already secured, and applications .for a further supply are
still pouring in from all parts of the country. Every
one appears anxious to hear this celebrated production;
and the Gloucester Festival will have the credit of pro-
ducing thus early one of the greatest efforts of genius
of this or any other age. A concert and ball will take
place this evening at the Shire Hall.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR SHEDLAW.—
On Friday last, as a number of men were employed in
undermining ,a large quantity of earth, to effect what is
termed a fall, on a very declivitous portion of the ground,
Mr. Lewis, one of the sub-contractors, notwithstanding
the apparently imminent danger, ventured forward with
the intention to lend assistance after the rest of the men
had withdrawn, when in a moment the enormous mass
of earth fell, and literally buried him. Sortly after
the unfortunate sufferer was extricated, he was con-
veyed with all expedition to Nottylees, where he re-
sided. Medical assistance was immediately procured,
but proved of no avail, death terminating his sufferings
on Saturday morning. Deceased has left a wife and five
children to lament his melancholy end.—Caledonian
Mercury.
JENNY LIND.-- The demand for tickets to the
Edinburgh forenoon concert of Monday was greater

itself went off with excellent effect,

IRELAND.

EJECTMENTS. - OPPOSITION TO RENTS

AND RATES.
The following document has been circulated by
the Repeal Association :
" The Address of the Committee of the Loyal Na-
tional Repeal Association of Ireland.
" Corn Exchange Rooms, Sept. 17.
"Fellow-countrymen,—With the deepest sympathy
for your cruel sufferings, the most earnest and active
anxiety to do all in our power to mitigate them, we
address you, craving your attention to what we
believe to be the very worst of the dangers now beset-
ting you.
" Attempts are making to drive you into crime !
Attempts open and reckless, by the wholesale and
ruthless ejectments brought against you in various
districts, and attempts more covert and more perilous
by the instigation of incendiaries among yourselves,
urging you to refuse the payment of your rents ; and
of incendiaries among the landlords, instigating you
to resist all calls upon you for the payments of rates !
" What is the object of these incendiaries ? Of the
one class it is to sell your blood. Of the other class
it is to clear their estates, by the massacre of the
people under the weapons of the soldiery and police ;
and, by the natural horror of such events, to wring
from the Government some relaxation of the strict
demand for the repayment of the Government ad-
vances !

" Will you be deceived and deluded to your ruin
by your immitigable enemies ? What have those
cruel landlords ever done for you, that you should
lose your lives in fighting their battle ?
" Recollect—recollect, we beseech of you—that un-
der the poor-law now coming into operation, their
estates shall be confiscated, if needed, for the support
of those whom their tyranny has made, or is making,
paupers.
" These are not idle words. The new law compels
out-door relief to all applicants the moment the work-
house is full. If your landlords so impoverish you
that you cannot continue to pay your portion of the
rates for this purpose, those very.landlords must, to
their last shilling, supply the deficiency.
" Their only hope is, if you can be driven into a
wild insurrection, and by the spilling of your blood,
and the waste of your lives, either the number of
applicants. will be greatly diminished, or a mitigation
obtained of the Government demands upon the land !
" Never violate the law,' was the maxim of him
you so long trusted, and so affectionately loved—of
Daniel O'Connell ! Fellow-countrymen, let us im-
plore of you to recollect his teachings, though he be
no longer here to guide us. Put not yourselves in
the power of the enemy by doing wrong!
" Even though our voices and those of your Par-
liamentary representatives, demanding protection,
mercy, justice for you, should be unheeded, your fate
cannot be bettered, but must be rendered infinitely
worse by violence, outrage, or any breach of the law.
Give not the pretext to the cruel landlord to bring
the soldiery and police to slaughter you! Pay him
his rents. Pay the rate collector his rates. If
the landlords and the English Parliament persist
in their grinding exactions from your poverty,
recollect the land of Ireland is now pledged
for your support ! Those who deny your
honest industry its due returns, and snatch from
you the means of independent support, shall be
compelled to maintain you as paupers. To peace we
then exhort you under the worst of your present
evils. You cannot right yourselves by violence and
illegal combination, but must bring destruction on
your wretched families and yourselves. Whereas,
by peaceful submission to the law, you must, at any
rate, be secured in subsistence—the land, being
pledged to the last acre, and the last shilling of its
rental for your support.
"But have we no brighter hope to hold out if you
be peaceful ? Oh, yes. In peacefulness you have
won all yet obtained for Ireland. In peacefulness
you shall accomplish, fully and immediately, the
glorious work of repeal. England now sees that the
union drainage of our money has rendered us a dead
weight to drag herself down to destruction, and that
nothing but the stoppage of those drains by the return
of the absentees, revival of our manufactures, and
spending of our moneys at home under the protecting
influence of our own Parliament, can save us from
utter ruin, and the empire from convulsion.
" And, if assured of our glorious perseverance ine
the peaceful, constitutional, and bloodless courseNv
have hitherto so steadily pursued, herown interest
and
will impel her to give us back our Parliament,
with it the prosperity of our people.
" Join, then, your voice with ours ! Call upon
your representatives to come forward asment one man and
demand back of _England that Parlia , wit.ho
which we are but a miserable mendicant province;
but with which we shall be once again, and fur ever-
more, a powerful, a prospf,r
JouoshaNnd
O'CO a happy nation.
NNELL,
(Signed)
Chairman of the Committee."

The great iron works of the park of Messkirch, in
the grand duchy of Baden, belonging to the Prince de
Furstenburg, have just been destroyed by fire. The
loss is estimated at several millions of francs, only a
portion of which is insured. The destruction of the
buildings alone is estimated at 150,000 florins (390,000 f.)
About nine hundred men were employed in the works,
all of whom, with their families, are now without re-

terms, as the supply is good. In Soucliong
