THE GOVERNESSES' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—
The third anniversary in support of the funds of this institution came
off yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Lord Ash-
ley took the chair shortly after six o'clock. There ware also present
Lord Lilford, General Briggs, the Rev. H. Dupuis. Mr. R. V.
Richards, Mr. W. Jerdan, Dr. Williams, Dr. Forbes, the Rev. Mr.
Brown, the Rev. Mr. Lusignan, Mr. Hopkinson, Mr. Strahan, Mr.
Fowles, Mr. Carter Hall, r. Brewster, the Rev. Dr. Laing,
&c. At the end of the room there was an assemblage of
ladies, whose presence added considerably to the attrac-
tions of the evening. The musical arrangements were under
the direction of Mr. Hobbs, assisted by Messrs. Francis,
Chapman, and Hatton. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts
having been given out by Mr. Toole, the toastmaster, and drunk
with the honours, the Noble Lord in the chair proposed the toast of
the evening, " Success to the Institution." His Lordship, in pro-
posing this toast, expatiated at some length on the merits of the In-
stitution, and observed on the niggardly manner in which governesses
were remunerated for their services. He regretted the necessity for
the existence of a society of that sort, because individual benevo-
lence ought not to suffer the class which the company were met to
aid to require the assistance of public charity. His Lordship having
concluded, several other toasts were drunk with the honours, and
amongst them the " Health of the Chairman," which was proposed
by Lord Lilford, and for which Lord Ashley returned thanks. The
amount of subscriptions was large, reaching to nearly 1,5001. The
health of the ladies having been drunk, the company broke up shortly
after eleven o'clock.
BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF BLUES. Yesterday the
usual half-yearly meeting of the members of this society was held at
the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the report of the
Directors, and to elect by ballot three additional pensioners on the
funds of the charity. Perkins, Esq.. In the chair. The report
stated that the society was founded in 1824, and its members consist
chiefly of persons who have received their education upon the royal
and ancient foundation of Christ's Hospital, and has for its objects
the relief of their less fortunate schoolfellows, by granting annual
pensions or weekly allowances, to the aged and infirm, and affording
temporary relief to distressed widows and orphans of Blues. There
are now thirteen pensioners on the funds, which yesterday's election
will increase to sixteen. The males receive 121. each per annum ;
and the female pensioners 101. each per annum. The financial state-
ment showed that the donations during the past year amounted to
631. ; annual subscriptions, 133/. 7s. ; dividends on stock, 881. 165.8 d.;
the pensions granted, to 871. ; temporary relief, 1011. 105. ; loans,
801., leaving a balance in treasurer's hands of 1071. 4s. 10d. The
finided property consists of 6,1001. Three per Cent. Consolidated An-
nuities. A petition to both Houses of Parliament against the Cha-
ritable Trusts Bill was unanimously adopted. The business of the
day being concluded, thanks were voted to the chairman, mad the
meeting broke up.
SALE OF ANCIENT ARMOUR, &C.—Yesterday 5 sale
by auction of a rare and genuine collection of ancient armour and
weapons of various nations, collected by the late E. J. Andrews, Esq.,
during his travels in the East, took place at Messrs. Oxenham's
rooms, in Oxford-street. Many of the lots were extremely curious,
but the prices they fetched remarkably low. Some of them were pur-
chased for the Tower. A suit of knight's cap-a-pie armour complete,
the breast-plate of fine form; time, about the middle of
the 15th century, when this description of defensive armour had at-
tained its greatest perfection, sold for 26 guineas. A mag,nificent suitof
Saracenic chain-armour, the links of the chain embossed with verses
tram the Koran, only realised 51.105. Another suit of similar armour of
the time of the Crusaders, fetched but 4/. Whilst a Saracenic hel-
met of the same period sold for 2/. 10s. The state flag of the Jan!.
zaries, composed of the finest silk, white ground, with deep crimson
border, worked in gold in verses from the Koran. This flag was
purchased by Mr. Andrews, on the destruction of the Janizaries in
1825, at Constantinople, for 60/., and on being brought into this
country that gentleman paid an ad valorem duty of 501. upon it.
It was knocked down yesterday for 20/. The next let, a case con-
taining the mummies of several small crocodiles, brought from the
caves-of Manfalonte, near Thebes, sold for 6/. 15s. The other lots,
consisting of swords, battle-axes, ancient musical instruments,
Turkish and Arabian costumes, fetched equally low prices.
COMMIsSIoN of LUNACY.—Yesterday a commission
de lunalico inquirendo was opened at the Sheriffs'-ofilce, Red Lion-
square, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and seventeen special
jurors, to inquire as to the state of mind of Henry Pollard,
aged sixty-six, a retired Manchester warehouseman, formerly of
Hill-street, Walworth, but now an inmate of Dr. Warburton's lunatic
asylum. The commission, which was unopposed, was taken out at
the instance of Mr. Peter Pollard, of the Commissioners of Sewers
office, brother of the unfortunate gentleman. From the statement
of the Learned Counsel, the evidence of Mr. H. Lambert, surgeon
at St. Luke's Hospital, Afessrii. Phillips and Miller, surgeons of
Dr. Warburton's establishment, and other witnesses, it appeared
that the unfortunate gentleman was of necessity taken to
St. Luke's on the 7th of June, 1844, and subsequently to Dr.
Warburton's. He had the delusions that he was immensely rich,
that he was the Prince of Poland, one of the Lords of the Admiralty,
and visited by his wife (recently dead), who, he said, had charmed
away his legs at Woolwich, and afterwards charmed them back again
to pay his debts. He also imagined that presents of fruits, &c., were
occasionally sent to him by the Lady Mayoress. Mr. Pollard, when
introduced, seemed somewhat calm, and could not be induced to
enter upon his delusion. lie complained that he was not allowed to
go home and manage his own property, and said that he had been
grossly imposed upon when the income-tax was first levied upon
him. His general remarks were, however, so unconnected and inco-
herent as to satisfy the jury, who returned a verdict, dating the un-
soundness of mind from the 7th of June, 1844.
THE NEW TARIFF. -- Tne Commissioners of the
Customs Department have issued instructions to collectors and con-
trollers of the revenue at the several ports and places throughout the
United Kingdom to prepare and transmit to the Inspector-General of
Imparts and Exports, with the least possible delay, the undermen-
tioned accounts, so far as the same relate to their respective ports,
viz. :—A return of the quantity of each description of goods entered
for consumption, free of duty or upon payment of a decreased rate of
duty, in pursuance of the resolutions of the House of Commons, and
in accordance with their orders, to those officers in March last, to
carry such resolutions into immediate effect, distinguishing those
cases in which bonds have been required from the importers to pay
the duties heretofore chargeable, in the event of the repeal or re-
duction of duty not receiving the sanction of Parliament. It will
be recollected that the first resolution of the House, and the Trea-
sury order consequent upon the same, had reference to the admission
of maize or Indian corn meal, buck-wheat, and rice at new and re-
duced rates of duty, on a form of bond, adapted and framed for the
purpose, binding parties to pay the former rate of duty, or difference
of duty on the articles so delivered, in the event of the resolution
not passing into a law, and whieh appeared in full in our columns at
the time ; and the second comprised the general revision and altera-
tions of the tariff, admitting numerous articles of foreign produce
and manufacture, free of duty, and a large number of others at re-
duced rates of duty, upon the terms or conditions of the parties
availing themselves thereof, abiding the ultimate decision of Parlia-
ment in the matter. The return is to be made up to the Bth instant
inclusive. Whether this return be required for Parliamentary pur-
poses, or for the especial information of the Government, does not
appear, as no mention is made in the requisition of the purpose for
which the same is required.
A correspondent, who thinks that the " unclaimed
dividend" books of the Bank of England should be open to the whole
public, is not aware of the dangerous consequences that might result
from complying with his wish. At present, books containing the
names of stockholders, and the date on which the first dividend
