THE NEW ASYLUM FOR INFANT

ORPHANS.

The second anniversary of the New Asylum for Infant
Orphans takes place this day at the London Tavern.
There have been other asylums for orphans heretofore
founded, on sectarian principles, but this is the only truly
Christian and Catholic (in the true ser.se of the word, which
means universal) asylum for orphans that has ever yet been
set en foot. In most of the other asylums the orphans ad-
mitted to the benefits of the institution must profess or consent
to be instructed in a peculiar religious creed. It is sufficient
that the applicant be a distressed orphan to obtain admission
into this asylum. All orphans under eight years of age, with-
out distinction of sex, place, or religious connexion, are eligible.
It is not surprisin,, that philanthropists should have come
forward in the most" liberal manner to support it. The sub-
scribers are numerous and influential; among them we may
name Mr. Harmer, who has not only kindly consented to be-
come one of the stewards, but has, with his characteristic
benevolence, subscribed twenty guineas to the charity, which
is founded on the purest principles of universal philanthropy.
If any further guarantee were wanted for the trustworthiness
of this institution, it would be found in the fact, that Lord
Morpeth has consented to take the chair on the occasion of
this its second anniversary. Who can doubt but that the as-
semblage will be worthy alike of the institution and of its
chairman.

EXCLUSION OF THE PRESS AT AN INQUEST.—Yes-
terday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held a protracted inquiry at the Cock
Tavern, Brook-street, Hampstead-road, on the bodies of Jane Mar-
garet Keech, aged forty-two, and her still-born child. The inquiry
excited much interest in the neighbourhood from the mysterious
circumstance: in which the case was enveloped, and which were
co •siderably heightened by the knowledge, as it transpired, that the
court was one of secret investigation. The unfortunate female had
been a patient of Christ Church Lying•in Institution. In conse-
quence or the refusal of admission the reporter could gather only an
Impel feet statement of the evidence, but it went to establish the fact
that there was no medical practitioner present at the birth, which
was attended only by a inidwife of the name of Adams. The ver •
d!et returned was, that " Deceased died from excessive hemorrhage,
thus causing the (calls of her infant child."
CAPTURE OF A WHALE IN THE RIVER MEDWAY.—
CHATHAM, MAY 2G.—Yesterday afternoon this fish was secured by
Henry Hickson, a Waterman at Upnor, who found it floating, dead,
In the river, below Upnor Castle. Having secured it, he towed it to
ti poor, and the difficulty then was, how to get it to a place of secu-
rity, s lien between fifty and sixty persons united to remove it to a
building at the rear of the " Jolly Sailors" public-house. The fish
was then opened Ln 1 the inside taken out and cleaned. The liver
was of a very extraordinary size. Before it was touched the fish
measure, seven feet round the body, and thirteen feet in length; the
breadth of the tail is two feet six inches. This fish is to be brought
to Chatham for public exhibition. It afforded for the last week much
sport to the wwermen of the river in their endeavours to catch it.
the cause of its death is supposed to he the difference of the water
o its natural element in the North Seas.

arrived at the Invalid Depot, Fort Pitt, from Gravesend, at which
place they disembarked in the afternoon from the ship Minerva,
