zealot: s and able exertions in promoting the interests
and securing the present satisfactory position of the

The deep interest felt by the large body of subscribers
plesent, was most enthusiastically and generally dis-
played by their voluntarily pledging themselves to be-
come annual subscribers in addition to their donations as
life governors, and also by many undertaking to collect
large sums of money for the Institution, before the next
,election at Christmas.
It was announced that a dinner is to be held at Christ-
mas
,next, and by the cordiality with which the an-
nounceoent was received there can be no doubt that the
assemblage on that occasion will be very numerous.
Many present accepted the office of stewards.
The board of management, trustees, and auditors in-
vited the subscribers and their friends to visit the in-
stitution and to partake ofa cold collation, to be provided
at the expense of those gentlemen, without any reference
to the funds of the institution.
The thanks of the meeting having been unanimously
vowd to the chairman fur his able and kind conduct in
presreliag, the meeting separated.
The number of subscribers present is not known, but
it was certainly far exceeding that of any previous
meeting.

AICD NECESSITOUS CHILDREN, WANSTF.AD.—A meeting
o' the subscribers and friends to this institution, was
held on Tuesday last, at the Asylum, Wanstead, and the
numerous visitors present must have been a most grati-
fying circumstance to the gentlemen who very kindly
end generously gave the invitation. The schools are
situate in Georo. 'e-lane, Wanstead; the premises are corn-
complOe and finished, affording ample accom-
wcdation for 100 children, and capable of considerable
extension. The grounds attached to the house are de-

lightful They are extensive—picturesque; being beau-
tituLly wooded and laid out with shrubs of every variety,
and to all these pleasing acquisitions are added extensive

and well, rranged kitchen, garden, greenhouse, stables,
•coach.-house, &-,c.; the whole of the premises, post suitable for the purposes of such an in7ti-- Imps the m
tuition, that we have ever had the pleasure of seeing.
The arrangements for the entertainments were on the
most liberal and elegant scale—the long range of tables
on the lawn, covered with viands of the best quality, and
tastefully displayed, and the many distinguished suppor-
ters of the schools, accompanied by their ladies and
friends, presented a lively and gratifying appearance.
Leery good thing was in abundance, and the champagne
most refreshing. The chair was taken by George Moore,
Esq., treasures., and the vice chair was occupied by J. R.
'Cuffiey, Esq., vice-president, two of the originators of the
'..astitution. After the usual loyal toasts had been given,
::.he chairmen, in very appropriate terms, proposed—
'• Prosperity to the Commercial Travellers' Orphan
Schools, may they be productive of all the good that they
are intended to confer, and may the Almighty shower
,upon the endeavours of those engaged in their foundation
his Divine blessint,sand support, This This toast was re-
.. l.lppo •
ceLved with universal and the most heartfelt enthusiasm.
The healths of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Robert
Wilco.xon, &q., Vice-President of the institution, and
ch,irrn,an of the National Mercantile Assurance Office,
the Beare" of Management, Mrs.
CuftleY and the Ladies,
George Lawrence, Esq., honorary secretary,, R. M.
Walsh Esq., and Messrs. Wicking and
Phillips,
a:ldsh were,
amongst several ethers proposed, received
acknow-
ledged with general acclamation, and very w
and happy observations. After a most satisfactory andimed
!convivial meeting, the company retired to the houseo ,
partake of coffee, and returned to town evidently mucht I
pie& sed with the arrangements of the institution and the
day's entertainment.
Art.g.tviLs or GRAlN.—Upwards of 8,000 quarters
of grain arrived at this port last week, at two successive
tides. (sine beautiful brig, the Warrior, of Montrose, has
2,000 qua/.ters. Those cargoes are all from foreign ports,
and we hear that much more is on the way. From the
pre-occupied sate of our numerous granaries, no stowage
could be obtained, and in the meantime the vessels in
which freights came had to be detained for want of
!better accommodation. This does not bear out the asser-
,.tion of famine abroad with which interested parties
-alarmed us so much throughout the winter and spring._
