TALLOW.

In consequence of the heavy arrivals, and the con-
tinued depression in the Money market, the prices of
Tallow have receded, and the market is heavy at the
quotations of this morning. Several of the vessels have
arrived here before information was received from St.
Petersburgh of their sailing from thence. Town Tallow
is still scarce. The net cash price is 49s to 50s 6d
per cwt.

ASSOCIATE INSTITUTION FOR
THE PROTECTION OF WOMEN.

(THIS DAY.)
The annual meeting of this society was held to-day
at the Freemason's hall ; B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P.,
in the chair.

The SECRETARY read letters of apology from the
Bishop of Chichester, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey,
R. Spooner. Esq., M.P. (who recommended that
Lord Denman should be requested to introduce a
Bill next session, which should be free from the ob.
jections made to the measure of that gentleman), W.
Ewart, Esq., M.P., and R. D. Mangles, Esq., M.P.,
all of whom expressed their approval of the objects of
the society. The Secretary then read the report.
It appeared that there was a slight increase in the
funds of the Society. A memorial numerously signed
by the females of England had been presented to the
Queen, and the report concluded by stating that much
good had been effected by the efforts of the Society.
From the financial statement it appeared that there
was a balance from the last audit of 651. 18s. 51d.,
while the gross receipts amounted to 1,0471. 1 ls. Bd.,
making a total of 1,1131. 10s. lid., while the expen-
diture amounted during the past year to 1,0731.85. 6d.,
leaving a balance in hand of 401.15. 7id.
The'Rev. E. CRAIG, M.A., proposed the adoption of
the report. He felt bound, as a clergyman of the
Established Church, to give his support to the so-
ciety.
\V. ASTBURY, Esq., seconded the resolution, which
was unanimously adopted.
The Rev. J. GLANVILL proposed, and G. ROPER,
Esq., seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Spooner, and
the gentlemen in Parliament who supported his Bill.
Thanks having been voted to and acknowledged by
the Chairman, the meeting separated.

IRE FOG ON THE RIVER LAST NlGllT.—Yester-
day evening the fog was so dense at Gravesend and up
the pool, that it became impossible for the steamers to
come up with safety, and the five o'clock and Comet six
o'clock boats were obliged to land their passengers at
Rosherville and Greenhithe. It was calculated that about
a thousand persons were thus left in an unpleasant pre-
dicament, as they had either to return to Gravesend and
take their chance of obtaininc, a conveyance to town, or
to walk up to Greenwich and come per. rail. As may bo
imagined, the conveyances which were available were
soon hired and en route to London, leaving a great
number behind. It is a considerable time since so many
vehicles were on the old coach road. The conveyances,
fortunately, reached Greenwich in time for the last rail-
way train to town, but many who lived on the other
side of the water were obliged, however tired and weary,
to wend their way to Itotherhithe and through the
Thames Tunnel.
