very numerous attendance of members and their families at the
ninth soirée of the British and Foreign Institute, which was held
last evening, and a large number of foreign visitors gave great va-
riety to the brilliant assemblage. Atoong the musical guests of the
evening were Madame de Belleville Oury, Madame Pacini, Miss
Lucombct, Madame Hennelle, Mr. Charles Horn, Madame Macfarren
Miss Orger, Mademoiselle Speyen' and Messrs. Salaman, Riallmark,
Muhlenfeldt, Errhmann, Grattan Cook, Bodda, Macfarren, Lavigne,

vivid description of the colossal ruins of the Temple of Jupiter Am-
mon, at Thebes, and the crowded assembly did not separate till near
midnight.

THE PARKER SOClETY.—Yesterday the annual
meeting of this Society, instituted in 1840, for the publication of the
works of the fathers and early writers of the Reformed English
Church, was held at Freemasons' Hall. Lord Ashley,the president
of the society, occupied the chair. Mr. George Stokes read the fifth
annual report. It stated that the delivery of books for the year had
been completed; the amount received was 6,966/. 10s. 11d., and the
expenditure 6,852/. lbs. 9d., leaving a balance of 1131. 15s. 3d. to be
carried to the next account. The volumes issued last year were
five in number, containing the remaining portion of Bishop Latimer's
works,' Letters from the Archives of Zurich, select Devotional
Poetry of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and a portion of the works
of Bishop Jewel. Fourteen authors were at present in preparation,
and various other standard books, which front their scarcity are be-
yond the reach of a largo number of persons who would otherwise
make themselves acquainted with their contents. The report having
been adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to Lord Ashley, who, in
acknowledgment, remarked that he had become possessed of two
copies of all the works the Parker Society had published. One set he
had reserved for himself, and the other he had presented to the
library of the new Protestant College at Malta. ills Lordship was
re-elected president, and a council for the ensuing year was appointed.
The meeting then separated.
ASSOCIATION FOR CLEANLINESS. —Since the warm
weather has set in the demands upon the gratuitous benefits of this
institution in Glasshouse-yard have greatly increased. The daily
number of those who bathe averages 80, and of those who wash
clothes about 140. On Saturday last there were no fewer than 52 en.
gaged in the latter at one time. One of the great advantages of the
institution to destitute females in particular is, that, after having
bathed themselves, they are suppliedwith.a. temporaryyearly3oodress whilst
they wash their own, and also with materials for mending, the soap
and other materials being famished fieo
