Smelt EXCRANGE.-A meeting of the London and York proprietary
was convened for tkis day by an anonymous advertisement, supposed
to emanate from parties anxious to promote the views of the Sise-
lane Committee; it, however, proved an abortion, so few persons
attending that it was deemed unnecessary to call any one to the
chair. Although the Stock Exchonge was appointed as the place of
meeting, the brokers had nothing to do either in calling or promoting
the meeting. Busin ss has been slack to-day, holders of scrip de-

ACCIDENT RELIEF SOCIETY.
The annual festival of this institution took place last
evening at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street ; Lord Ash-
ley in the chair.
The dinner was served up in admirable style. On the
removal of the cloth the Noble Chairman gave the usual loyal
toasts, to which ample justice was done. " The clergy," with
which was coupled the health of the Rev. Mr. Cole, followed,
which that gentleman acknowledged in a long and eloquent
speech, enforcing the claims of the charity to public support.
Lord ASHLEY then gave the toast of the evening, and en-
tered fully into the merits of the institution, dwelling upon
the happy effects of its prompt assistance to those unfortu-
nate individuals who had met with any serious accident.
Lord J. MANNERS proposed the next toast—" The health of
the Noble Lord in the chair." The Noble Lord said there
was no occurrence which had taken place during the last
session so much to be lamented as the retirement of Lord
Ashley from Parliament. There was one consolation, how-
ever, in knowirg that although he had left the House of
Commons, he was not lost to the charitable institutions of
this country. Lord John concluded his address by drinking
the health of the chairman, with a hope that his future life
might be as useful and successful as his past had been.
Lord ASHLEY briefly responded. He said that next to the
success of the measures he had brought before Parliament,
he courted no reward so much as the honest, steady, and
sober esteem of the enlightened and benevolent citizens of
London.—(Cheers.)
The other toasts proposed and drunk were the healths of
his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and the rest of the patrons
and patronesses; the stewards of the day; the secretary
and committee, and the stewards elect.
During the evening Mr. R. Croxton, the secretary, an-
nounced the various subscriptions which he had received,
amounting to 3001.
The company were enlivened by the vocal talent of
Messrs. Robinson, Edney, and Ransford, under the direction
of Mr. Shoubridge.

SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTIoNt—A very en-
tertaining lecture on the rise and progress of German music was last
night delivered by Mr. Henderson, in the theatre of this institution.
After a few preliminary remarks, and a slight resume of the origin
and progress of music generally, Mr. Henderson entered on the more
immediate subject of his lecture—German music, which, he stated,
consisted, till within the last century, almost solely of ecclesiastical
music ; since that period, however, many great German composers
had become known to fame, including Gluck, Handel, Haydn, Mo,sart,
Beethoven, Weber, the Baths, and numerous others. Various curious
and amusing anecdotes were related by Mr. Henderson in the of the lecture, which was throughout listened to with great atten-
tion.a-
Mr. Collins and his talented family executed numerous vocal
and instrumental pieces by German composers in a style of great ox-
cellence ; the splendid overture to .Don Giovanni elicited great ap-
plause by the beautiful and correct manner in which it was played;
tie Misses Collins also sang several duets and trios with much taste.
Mr. J. Collins conducted.
DRAGONETTI'S FUNERAL.—The mortal remains of
this great artist were consigned to their last resting-place yester-
day morning, at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Moorfields. We be-
lieve the original intention was to have performed a grand requiem
mass, with till orchestra, but we heard that this was prevented as
being againsbthe usages of the chapel. The crowd was immeim,
there was scarcely a place unoccupied, When the service of the
dead was concluded, the procession descended to the vaults beneath
the chapel. After the Latin service the priest delivered a short
prayer in English. Dragonetti's old playmate, Lindley, seemed much
affected—for upwards of half a century they had read from the same
books, and never had a discordant word passed between the musical
Pylades and Orestes. Several carriages followed the hearse. The
procession was joined at the door of the chapel by Mr. Lumley, Mr.
Elate, Signor Pugni, Signor Fuzz!, Signor F. Lsblacbe, 5111403' FOr-
nasari, Mr. Holmes, Mr. Surman, and all the members of the Opera
orchestra. There were also 4 considerable ;lumber of amateurs,
amongst Whom we remarked the Illllie of Leinster, Tord Geerald.

THE JOB AND POST-IVIA.3ITEIZ'
PROVIDENT FUND.
The third anniversary dinner of the above institution took
place on Friday, April 24, at the London Tavern, Bishops.
gate-street. Sir J. Trollope, Bart., M.l'., presided on the
occasion.
Upwards of 300 gentlemen, members et the above society,
sat down to the dinner, which was served up in the well-
known and justly celebrated style of Messrs. Bathe and
Breach. The whole of the arrangements were excellently
conducted, and Mr. Toastmaster Toole performed the functiOns
of his office with his usual ability.
The Chair, was supported on his right by his Grace the
Duke of Richmond; on the left by Sir W. Buckley. Among
the numerous names of the subscribers read to the meeting,
we noticed those of his Grace the Duke of Richmond, 25/. ;
the Earl of Chesterfield, 20 guineas; Lord Rosslyn (a second
donation), 5/. ; Lord Marcus Hill, 2 guineas ; Mr. Sheriff
Chaplin, 5/. ; Count Bathyany, Si. ; Mr. David Saloman, 5/. ;
Sir J. Trollope, Bart. (second donation), 10/. ; T.Gullan, Esq.,
20 guineas; J. Shaw, Esq., 2 guineas.
Upon the cloth being removed, the " Non Nobis" was
sung in good style by Messrs. Genge, Kenny, and Smith.
The usual toasts having been disposed of,
The CRAIRMAN proposed "Prosperity to the Fund, an•l
may it flourish for ever." In proposing this toast, he took
occasion to press upon the gentlemen present the necessity
of contributing to the funds of the institution, in order to
advance its interests. lie stated that the higher classes
would always be found ready to assist the interests of the
society. If the case of the society was laid before them he
felt convinced that they would be found among its most
liberal supporters.
TheCHMRMIN then proposed the toast of"OurNoblePresi-
dent, his Grace the Duke of Richmond." Upon Such a
toast, he remarked it was quite unnecessary for him
to say a word for the purpose of recommending it to
their notice. It was sufficient for him to say that their
Noble President was always ready with open hand to sup-
port charities of any kind.—(Cheers.) There was no limit
to his benevolence.—(Renewed cheers.) He hoped that the
toast would be drank with unbounded applause, and with
that affection which the Noble Duke deserved at their hands.
The Duke of RICHMOND, in returning thanks, said—l rise,
as the president of this society, to return you my best and
most grateful thanks for the very flattering manner in which
you have received the toast which has been proposed to you,
and from the encomiums'which your worthy chairman has
heaped upon me I am not surprised at the manner in which
the toast has been received. I cannot, however, claim for
myself any merit for what I have done to advance the in-
terests of the society. I feel it to be a duty—a paramount
duty—in the situation in which Providence has placed tae,
to do my utmost (however humble and feeble) which may
conduce to the welfare of any class of the people of this
country. In such a country as this persons were always ex-
posed to fluctuations, the season of prosperity could not al-
ways be depended upon. There was no gentleman present
who was not exposed to these fluctuations. All classes in
the country were liable to the changes attendant upon the
rising or falling of trades and professions, from circumstances
over which they had no control. But I will not ask any
man, be he a husband or a father, whether he does not, or
will not, feel, when he comes to be placed in that -situation,
when he cannot fail to see that he is about shortly to quit
this earth, whether it will not be a satisfaction to him to
know that those whom he has left behind, and whom he has
most esteemed and cherished on earth, will not be driven, when he is taken from them, to seek relief in the union workhouse. Ido not call such a course of action as would
ensure these results " charity," it is an insurance which has
been made in prosperous days against the time of adversity,
and by so doing it will be found that the dying pillow will be
softened by the recollection that his widow and his children
will be provided for from that fund to which he has sub-
scribed.—(Loud cheers.) I feel it to be a great blessing in
this great, free, and independent country, that there are so
many institutions similar to the present one.—(Cheers.) I
was requested by my esteemed friend, Mr. Tattersal, to accept
the presidency of this institution. I acceded to his request,
because I knew that he would not belong to any institution
except the funds of that institution were well and perfectly
carried out according to the plans of the society.—(Hear,
hear.) I claim no merit for my connexion with the present
institution. I have accepted the office of president solely
with a view to do good, not as a sinecure, and to the utmost
of my powers, support an institution which I cannot
look upon in any other light than a purely national institu-
tion.—(Loud cheers.) And in my capacity as president I
hope often to have the pleasure of meeting you here.
Sir R. W. BUCKLEY proposed the next toast, which was
" The Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, end the other vice-presidents,
patrons, and benefactors to the fund."
The Flon. P. S. PIERREPONT returned thanks.
B. PEARSE, Esq., then proposed " The Treasurer, Mr.
Tattersal," who returned thanks in a highly amusing speech.
" The Directors of the Institution," was then proposed by
F. SALUON, Esq., for which E. TATTERSAL, Esq., returned
thanks.

The Hon. Mr. PIERREPONT then gave the health of the
new Secretary, whom he said he had known twenty. five
years and upwards, and who, on his (IlA.r. Pierrepont's)
nomination, had been appointed to the office, and he could
conscientiously say of him, that if he went on for the next
twenty-five years as satisfactorily as he had done the pre-
vious, he would do credit to himself and be of great service
to the institution.
Mr. CLNRh rose and said, that for the kind manner in
which his health, as the newly-appointed Secretary, had
been introduced to their notice by the noble founder, and
so warmly responded to, he begged to return his sincere
thanks. That ho could 1400 U r. than his best endeavours
should never be found wanting to promote the interests of
the fund, and that at the termination of his services, when.
ever that might be, he hoped to receive the same feeling of
satisfaction that had this day been expressed of him by his
noble proposer and founder of the institution.
The report was then read by the Secretary, and the com•
pany seplrated._

- The subscriptions amounted to about 700/.
During the evening the company were enlivened by ✓some
amusing comic songs, excellently sung by Mr. Moody. A
young tenor named Genge also sang some solos very sweetly.

KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON,
On Friday the annual meeting of the council and prc-
prietors of the institution was held at the theatre of the Col-
lege. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was in the
chair. There were also present the Right Rev, the Lord
Bishop of London, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Lich-
field (late Principal of the College), Earl Brownlow, Lord
Radstock, Lord Howe, Sir Benjamin Brodie, Sir R. H.
Inglis, Bait, M.P., Alderman Thompson, M.P., the Rev.
Dr. Shepherd, preacher of Gray's Inn ; the Very Rev. G.
Chandler, D.C.L., Dean of Chichester; the Rev. It. W. Jelf,
D.D., Principal of King's College; the Rev. J. Endell Titer,

place; the Rev. John Allen, M.A., Examining Chaplain to
the Lord Bishop of Lichfield; the Rev. H. Brown, Preben-
dary of St. Paul's; W. Cotton, Esq., Henry Pownall, Esq.,
G. Twining, Esq., and other noblemen, gentlemen, and
clergymen.
The Mosr REV. PRELATE having briefly opened the pro-
ceedings,
The Rev. Mr. NICOLAY read the report. It commenced
by referring to the success which had attended the operation
of the college during a period of seventeen years, and con-
gratulated the friends of the institution that there were now
being educated within its walls more students than at any
Previous anniversary meeting. In the department of general
literature and science there were at present 122 students, in
the department of the applied sciences 54, in the medical de-
partment 192, occasional students 85, who, with 502 pupils
in the school, made a total of 955. At the Universities, the
students had acquitted themselves in an honourable manner.
At Cambridge, Mr. Hensley was senior wrangler, and first
Smith's prizeman. Two were placed in the first class in
classics, and six obtained fellowships. In the University of
Oxford two had been elected students of Christchurch, and
two others had been nominated for election. In King's Col-
lege Hospital, the number of students was greater than in the
corresponding year of 1844 by 3,000; still, the subscriptions
to that institution only exceeded those of the same period by
54/. 18s. New buildings for the hospital were about being
erected. The report concluded by remarking on the advan-
tages likely to accrue from the establishment of the theologi-
cal department. All the Bishops had agreed to admit stu-
dents of King's College as candidates for holy orders, with
had
declined exception of the Bishops of Ely and Bangor, who
declined on account of local circumstances.

rangements for conducting it. He anticipated that it would
be of unspeakable advantage to the Church.
The meeting then separated.

ST. CLEMENT DANES, APRIL 24,—A vestry meeting
was held yesterday evening for the purpose of taking into consider-
ation a resolution of the committee of the vestry of, St. Marylebone, to the effect " that the committee is of opinion that the Court of
Sewers, as at present constituted, calls loudly tbr revision, its powers
being arbitrary and unconstitutional—its enactments frequently oP-
pressive —its expenditure enormous and prollise, and that means be
taken to abolish the present system, and establish a representattv_e-
Conrt of Commissioners.' A discussion ensued upon the above co
