ROYAL StpeIETY 0 MUSICIANS.
The huivlre( and tenth enniversary of this time-
honoured institution was held boa night. at the Free-
masons' Tavern. This society, instituted in 1738 for the
maintenance of aged musicians, their widows, and
orphans, ca:; say, in ti.c words of Dr. Eutney, that “vc,
ch.iritethe institutier. ran be more cut of the reach of
embrzzlereent, or partiality, or regulated with
mere care, integrity, and economy, or have its income so,
immediately derivel from the talents or actirity of its
own members' than this." The first musicians in the
..:01111try, rind the most exalted personages, have teen its
patrons and supporters from the commencement.
The evening was mainly devoted to music, and the
speeches made were very short. Among them, Dr.
Horsley reverted with great feeling to his own case. ILI
early life, he said, he had met with many difficulties;
his health failed, ho had family misfortunes to en•
lure; but when he joined this seciev, he felt compara-
tive case and tranquillity, and had lx-en a member
of it in health and strength for fifty years.
M. Berlioz, whose health, in cer,junction with that
of the other French musicians, was drurk during
the evening, returned thanks in French to the
public for its paternal kindness, and the press for their
patronage. Mr. Knyvett's health was also drunk, as the
father of the society. He was, he said, iu returning
thanks, already the father of fifteen legitimate chi:dren,
and it was too bad to saddle him with so large a family
besides; but he hoped his children, at any rate, would
not forget their old father.
During the evening songs were sung by the veteraa
Brehm, who was greeted with rounds of applause, and
by Mr. S. Reeves. We ought also to mention J. S.
Smith's ghe, "Return, blessed days," which was most
beautifully rendered, and Mr. Hatton's song, " Day
and Night," published originally under a German
name, and well worthy of a German Master.

Mr. R. Palmer, tlie member for Backs, was in the
chair, in the absence of the Duke of Cambridge, who
was prevented from attending by gout. Amongst the
company were several distinguished musicians. Messrs.
Horsley, Berlioz, Benedict, Brsham, and many others.
The subscriptions announced amount to 458/.;
amongst which were 201. from the Duke of Cambridge;
211. from the committee of Covent garden; 10/. from
Sir T. Ackland; 101. from :the Bishop of Bath and
Wells; 51. from Mr. Palmer, M. Benedict, and the
Messrs. Broad wood.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE AVENGER.
POIITSMOUTII. FEB. 21.—The Relief Committee
met this afternoon at the Naval College and resolve:
on paying the allotment due for this month the fiat
week in March. It was at the same time declared
expedient to concentrate all the receiving forces and
bring them into the focus of the Portsmouth com-
mittee, which would much simplify the distribution
of the i.ountv as well as save considerable trouble to
donors arid recipients.
Mr. l'incham, master shipwright of this dockyard,
is summoned to the Admiralti to-morrow.
The new dock building by Mr. Bramble in this
dockyard, the works of which have been inundated
by the premature removal of an adjoining dam, is
being pumped dry as fast as seventeen hand pumps,
worked by four men each, and a ten-horse power
' steam engine pump, plied night and day, can accom-
plish the work. Only about eight feet of water re-
mained in the dock at noon to-day, which was ex-
pected to have been got out by another day's labour ;
but heavy and incessant rain set in and increased
the depth of water. It is expected they will have
to employ a more powerful steam engine before
the labourers can resume their work upon the ma-
sonry.
The Prince Regent, 92, Captain Martin, is out of
the hands of the dockyard parties, and is reported
ready for sea by the 17th of March should she have
completed her complement.
The Java freight-ship embarked the 76th (second
battalion) Regiment this morning, and will go out
of harbour to-morrow. The wind is against her for
sailing.
The Rochester lighter arrived this morning with
stores from the eastern yards.

CITY OF LONDON SEWERS BILL.

On the motion of Mr. PATTISON, this Bill was
ordered to be read a second time on Friday next.
MACCLESFIELD WATERWORKS AND
IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Captain EGERTON moved that the second reading
of this Bill should be postponed until Monday next.
Sir W. HEATIICOTE thought that some suffi-
cient grounds for the postponement of the Bill ought
to be made out before the House acquiesced in the
motion.

Captain EGERTON said that he had understood
that the Bill was to be opposed, and he was araious
to obtain further information on the subject.
Mr. WILLIAMS said that the Bill would impose
a heavy burden on the inhabitants of the town who
were already taxed to the highest point possible, and
the whole of the ratepayers were unanimous in their
opposition to the Bill. The Bill about to be intro-
dnced by the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods
and Forests would answer all the purposes of the
Bill. lie should therefore move that the Bill be read
a second time that day six months.

After a short discussion strangers were ordered to
withdraw, and the House divided when there ap-
peared—

NEW SMITHFIELD MARKET.
On the motion for the second reading of this Bill,
Mr. BROTHERTON moved that it be read a
second time on the 2d •f March.
Mr. B. OSBORNE moved that the Bill be read a
second time that day six months. The promoters of
this Bill held out as an inducement for parties to be-
come shareholders in the concern that the under-
taking would yield a return of twenty-one per
cent., and that he thought was a sufficient reason
why the House should look with some jealousy at
this Bill. The Bill proposed to give the company
to be established by it an unfair control over the
supply of animal food to the metropolis, and he had
reason to suppose the Bill would have the effect of
raising the price of meat in the metropolis at
least a half-penny per pound. It was asserted
by the promoters that the existing Smithfield Market
was inconveniently situated, but so far from this
being the ease he happened to know that lately at
least 100,0001. had been expended in improving the
market and its site. The chief cause, how-
ever, of the prejudice against the exist-
ing market was a prevailing impression
that it rendered the neighbourhood unhealthy; but
in the early part of his life he resided near to the
Charter House, and he could state from personal
experience that the air of the district, instead of being
unhealthy, was particularly salubrious.—(Hear, hear,
and laughter.) The parties had very satisfactory
reasons for opposing the Bill.
Mr. WYLD seconded the motion.

CONKICT AT SNIG'S-END.—An unpleasant ren-
ecntre, which threa'ened the most serious consuquenoes,
occurred lately at the " People's Estate," at Snig's-
end, between Mr. Dewhurst and Mr. F. O'Connor. Mr.
i
Dewhurst, t seems, who was formerly a schoolmaster
at Leicester, had such confidence in Mr. O'Connor's
allotment system, that ho gave up his academy, and
placed 400/. in his hand for the purchase of the old
farm-house, which he (Mr. Dewlaurst) now holds, to-
gether with a quantity of cider, Sce. Thinking that
Zir. O'Connor meant to " do" hire out of the purchase,
Mr. Dewhurst ono day entered the room where he was
sitting. with a hatchet, and under violent excitement
was about to commit a murderous assault, when Mr.
O'Connor knocked him down, and the intruder was
borne off amidst the reprobation of the other inmates,
without having iogieted any injury,—Rereford Jsurnul.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

Shortly after five o'clock a collision took place in
the Rue St. Honor& A squadron of dragoons
charged the people sword in hand and a
great slaughter took place. The conflict was
going on at the time the last accounts
left. Several wounded had been taken to the
hospitals.

There is a large park of artillery in the Champ de
Mars, in front of the Ecole Militaire, with officers
and men in attendance ready for action. _

All the money securities, &c. of the Bank of
France have been removed to the caves of that
Establishment, so as to be in safety in the event of
the building being destroyed. In several of the gas
manufactories, the workmen have declared that they
will not suffer any gas to be lighted during the
night. This is a rww and most important element in
the conduct of popular insurrections, and may lead
to most unlooked for results.

Throughout Paris the feeling is bitter against
M. Guizot ! A bas Guizot ! Las tetede Guizot ! A vingt
cinq Francs la tete deGuizot lure the popular cries
The movement is not confined to the merely poor and.
destitute. The opponents of the troops are for the
most port composed of tradesmen and the batter son
of mechanics, and in many instances masters have shn
up their establishments, in order to afford their men
an cpportunity of taking part in this manifestation.
At half past six when the last accounts left, the
people had obtained possession of the Rue de Rivoli,
(close to the Tuileries), and were unpaving it,usingthe
paving-stones to form barricades. The hotel of M.
Guizot was filled with soldiers. It had been repeat-
edly attacked.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
PEEBLESHIRE.
The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the
allegations contained in the petition presented against
the return of Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, met for the first
time this morning; Lord Robert Grosvenor in the chair.
Mr. Andrews, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Forsyth, ap-
peared for the petitioners, and Mr. Sergeant Wrangham
fur the sitting Member.
Mr. ANDREWS opened the case for the petitioner, Mr.
Carmichael. This ease was principally one of scrutiny,
and the evidence which the petitioners was prepared to
put in would prove that Mr. Mackenzie's majority of
seventy-seven was made up of faggot end fictitious votes.
The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to call a
witness named Scott, who voted at the election, to prove
that his vote was bad, but he was interrupted by
Mr. Sergeant Witartmum, who objected to the exami-
nation of the witness on the ground that his vote was not
challenged in the Sheriff's Court, or when it was tendered
at the election. Election Committees, he said, in cases
of scrutiny, stood in the position of a court of appeal,
and no testimony could be: admitted which had not been
tendered and rejected in the inferior court.
The decision of this point was adjourned till to-
morrow.

KINSALE.

This Committee re-assembled at the thual hour this
morning; Mr. Bouvorie in the chair.

Dr. Edward Jago, the gentleman so often referred to
by the witnesses for the petitioners, stated that he was
native of Kinsale. The constituency of the borough
consisted of 216, of whom 115 promised him to
rote for Mr. Guinness. The 4,0001. lodged
at the bank was rot used for the purposes
of bribery, but it was deposited as a guarantee
against the insinuations of the opposite party, who
wanted to make out that Mr. Guinness was a needy ad-
venturer. To show that the 4,000/. was not intended to
he applied to illegal purposes, he might mention that tho
banker in whose hands it was placed was a warm sup-
porter of Mr. Watson. After the election he received
two sums of 5001. and 2001. from Mr. Guinness, 3501. of
which was paid away in the legal expenses of the elec-
tion. The evidence of the woman Ryan relative to his
having been at Sisk's public-house during the shaving
scene was false. He was not in the house till very ISIS
on the day of the election, and he denied having ever
paid the shaving bill.
The Committee adjourned at two o'clock, to nab!'
Members to be present at the debate on Mr. C. Anstey's
motion.

RAILWAYS.

Mr. BROTHERTON wished to ask the Chairman
of the Select Committee on Railways whether the

Committee intend to receive statements or hear evi.
dente in support of, and in opposition to, the several
Railway Bills now pending in Parliament; or other-
wise, whether the Committee has come to any deter-
mination as to the course of proceeding in reference
to such Bills, and when it is probable that the Com-
mittee will proceed to the consideration of such Bills.
Mr. STRUTT said, the Committee met before
Christmas; but adjourned till after the holidays what
Bills would come before Parliament this session.

The Examiners and Standing Orders' Committees
having now disposed of their business, the Committee
'was now in a position to obtain the information it
required before the holidays, and the Committee
intended to proceed with its labours forthwith. In
answer to the other portion of the question, he
apprehended the Committee would not go into a
minute inquiry on every Bill ; but the report of the
Committee would not of course be final—it would
come before the house simply in the shape of a
representation.

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat
have been very moderate, viz., quarters, chiefly
from Essex and Kent. To-day th° show of samples of
that grain was by no means large, and a steady business
was transacted iu all descriptions, at fully, but at nothing
quot tble beyond, the prices obtained on Monday last.
was a better feeling in the inquiry for the best
Wheats. In the middling and inferior kinds,
however, next L nothing was doing. Malting Barley
was steady, but not dearer. Grinding and distilling sorts
were much neglected. The Dialt trade was exceedingly
depressed, and, to affect sales of the secondary qualities,
lower rates must have been accepted. Oats, Beans, and
Peas sold at Monday's decline. In Indian Corn and
Meal we had no transactions. Flour steady, at late
rates.

The debate in the sitting of the German Parlia-

" The National Assembly votes the sum of 2,000
florins (1651.) as a monthly remuneration for the
President„ the month to be reckoned from the day of
election, and the disbursement to be made from the
Imperial Treasury. At the same time the Assembly
debars the President the right of renouncing this
emolument." Scarcely 200 out of 650 members
were present; yet after a somewhat interesting dis-
cussion, the motion of the right and custom for the
grant of the 2,000 florins was carried by an over-
whelming majority.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
DUBLIN.
This Committee resumed its labours this morning,
when the question of the non-qualification of Mr. Rey- i
nal& was opened by Mr. Murphy, who, before proceed-
ing to enter into the merits of the case, or to prove that
the sitting Member had no qualification, wished the
Committee to decide whether the declaration made at
the table of the House was a compliance with the Act of
Parliament. Mr. Rowe objected, and the Committee de-
cided that Mr. Murphy must submit his case as a
whole, and not piecemeal. The qualification consists of
different properties in Ireland, and Mr. Murphy insisted
that the sitting Member ought to be called upon to pro-
duce his title deeds to show that the property really was
vested in him. Mr. Rowe refused to comply with this
request, which led to a long legal argument that had
not terminated when the Committee adjourned.

Gergebil, the stronghold of SCHAMYL BET, on the

with care by foreign engineers, and defended by a
